Yeah, NN somehow read that you were throwing in the towel and crowning us instead of taking it as the hypothetical any normal person would have read that as.

lol. Pretty sure NN and normal don't even share the same zip code.

 

[trojanfan12]

None of us are taking anything for granted, but watch, if UW loses a game NN will try to rub it in as some kind of I told you so and attempt to throw our words back at us. You wait, that's a lock.

I've got a great idea. You guys should lose to USC just to make sure it happens.

 

[trojanfan12]

Yep. Everything east of Dallas is considered Russia to tSEC.

A. The Pac 12 being pussies and allowing their prime time game to be on little fox shows how bad the TV contract is.

B. Tomorrow at 8 am is a historical moment for our university and athletic program. I truly hope the new President makes the right decision when it comes to Barber. Otherwise I fear a Kaepernick type of protest will go on with the players and that is horrible for everyone person.

Isn't there big rivalry game named after the only jobs the defeated southerners could get that dried up and left Alabama as one of the poorer states in our country?

 

[Vitamike]

That's what i don't understand. I'd go nuts if I had three of those type of games filling up my home schedule. But some fans love it because its an easy win.

That's one thing I can say about UCLA, they always schedule legit OOC programs year in year out.

That's how it should be. ^^

Washington didn't schedule any FCS teams until about 6 years ago and it sucks. I liked the old school Washington scheduling when the Huskies played solid OOC competition year in and year out.

Just read that Cal is sporting one of the worst rated run Ds in the nation.
Time to unleash the Gaskin this weekend. Both Coleman and him need to get busy.

Yeah, and they won't be able to stop Ross either. They can be beat deep.

They have the #2 offense in the conf, but haven't faced any secondaries that are anything like ours and haven't faced a pass rush near anything like we have.

Make up your mind ,a day or two ago you said they would be tough.

It's a road game and UW has been shaky at times on the road.

You get your style points at home and just try to survive on the road. I really like our chances, but Cal's not going to roll over and play dead.

You do realize they have averaged over 40 points a game. Just holding them to say 28 would be a massive decline. Just keep them under 30 and I love our chances. I won't take it for granted though.

USC gifted them 10 points and kept it at 24 . You guys should do better.

You had them at home. That's totally different. A better example would be winning against the ducks, but taking double OT to do so... against that dumpster fire of a team. They did beat Utah and Texas at home.

Washington should be able to beat Cal at Cal easier than USC beat them at home. USCs unranked and Washingtons in the top 5.

i said I like our chances. I also said road games are different and never underestimate how your kids will play on the road. Both of those are truth.

 

[RegentDenali]

The point spread I saw today was -17 so the books do like our chances at a W. That's a serious spread for a road game, but still, the Huskies should win this one. especially if Gaskin gets rolling early and the D keeps that Cal offense honest.

I think Gaskin and Coleman can both go over 100y again. UW is going to pound the shit out of the rock.

I was listening to softy the other day, he pointed out that they are averaging 20 points less when they play defenses that rank in the top half of the conference as opposed to when they play defenses that rank in the bottom half. That's a pretty big difference.
