TSiO Episode #54: Welcome to the Nadir!

The podcast was entertaining and insightful. Your critique of OL recruiting numbers is one of your most underrated observations about recruiting.

All that being said:

1. Dennis was too sober.

2. Tequilla saying the phrase "the reality is" needs to be on the TSIO bingo card. (Other squares on the bingo card: "I love Pete, but" and "I don't think Pete is a racist, but" and "I don't want to bash Jake Browning, but.")

3. It was hard to hear Dennis try to defend his beloved Cade Otton. The WTEs have not been a strength, but you dudes PROMISED us they would be. You promised.

4. "I heard from a little birdie that we should be very happy with the new uniforms." Coker, if you're wrong, I swear to St. Haden, I will...

5. Tequilla, please stop the Aaron Feld impression. Dennis and Coker sound like they are laughing along awkwardly just to be polite.
 
6. Your critiques of UW's multiple offense are fair.

Of course, the offense's complexity is not the cause of Jake Browning throwing ducks, shitting his pants, bailing from the pocket, and throwing to defensive linemen. The OL repeatedly blocking the wrong guy has nothing to do with the complicated motions, formations, and route changes. The offense's complexity isn't what's holding back Jordan Chin and Andre Baccellia.

The offense's problems stem at least in part from the recruiting misses at OL, WR, and QB, as you rightly pointed out. You're right there is a talent problem.

But I was ready to crap all over your broader argument about Pete's multiple offense. I mean, Dante Pettis and John Ross thrived and made Jake Browning into a Heisman contender!

Then I checked the stats. Fuck, Coker is right about Boise State's slide. Boise State's scoring offense went from 1st in the country in 2009, 2nd in 2010, and 5th in 2011, to 54th in 2012 and 22nd in 2013.

I'm hoping it's just a talent thing.

I don't know what it means for us(?), but the 2012 & 2013 drop off coincided with loss of Kellen Moore and the hiring of Robert Prince as OC. My Boysee guys hated Prince. If remember right, Prince's mandate was to copy the Nevada offense, but without #MyKap. Maybe the takeaway is that Pete isn't good at selecting QBs and OCs.

Add Dennis's "that's right" to the card.

That's right, that's right. God bless you.

The reality is the offensive system didn't change. The offensive coordinators were caretakers, not guys with their own systems.

The same horrifying possibility is dawning on Seahawks fans. The problem wasn't Bevell. The problem isn't Schottenheimer. They're running the offense that Pete Carroll wants to run!

i cant believe how little he got bullied growing up
his inexplicable confidence infuriates me

Hating people with confidence ... nice
 
The fact that you guys are annoyed by Tequilas impression of feld just shows how spot on it is.
 
Too bad we already lost to STDU at home and TSIO. This would've been a good pod otherwise. I realized after this pod and the HFPodcast, that "oh yeah, any team that brings pressure beats UW." That includes STDU, Stanford, and one more. I'm revising my earlier position and adding 2 more losses this year, due to a shitty QB without OL protection. 7-5 is looking quite probable right now. Teq & DDY: You say you want the actual facts: Well, there they are. (And I hope I'm way wrong).

I feel like you're doing the opposite of buffing a turd...

Chose that handle after watching Cyler Miles as QB. If he wasn't a Turd of a QB, I don't know who was. The buffer is the doogy part, representing the irrational optimism I hold onto, despite no reason to feel it, given the annual letdowns of this team and program.

Coker and DDY's discussion about the shitty tailgating changes is almost enough for me to abandon this particular pseudonym and maybe replace it with "shit-eater" cause that's what being a supportive fan feels like today.
 
7-5 is “possible” but unlikely

I’m a bit in LIPO mode as I think this weekend tells us a lot. That being said we’ve played our toughest road games of the year already and I dont see a lot of threats in the conference to score in the high 20s on our defense.

The reality is the offense should get better during the season ... LIPO
