Im not saying I dont think UW will be better or even a contender for the Pac 12 but the talk of playoff and all this kind of stuff about coin toss between them and Stanford I just find funny. 7-6 last season. when is the last time a team went 7-6 and then won the NC or even played for it? or won their conference for that matter?
I'll say it again. What difference does it make who the talking heads are high on preseason? If they are still high on UW at the half way point it means they are earning it. All the talking this time of year is just filler until we get real games.

So they aren't generally high on the ducks. So what? They have a lot of questions and a tougher schedule than UW. Maybe you question their feelings on Stanford v Oregon because their schedule is even tougher and they too have lots of questions, but Shaw is getting a lot of credit where Helfrich hasn't really earned that yet.

No I don't think UW is a playoff contender, and Phil really said nothing more than they are a dark horse outside of the top 10 for it which isn't a glowing endorsement.

I do contend that all of you that believe next year is their year are entirely missing the mark though. This is their season to get ahead. They will lose more than half of their defense after this season. There is little chance they are better next year than this year because of it. Replacing Baker and most of that back end isn't going to be easy.

It's reasonable. Oh and Happy Gilmore was an awesome movie.

Auburn comes to mind, they went 3-9 in 2012 and went 12-2 the following year. Pretty amazing turnaround.

No idea about any team before that.

Those two pitchers don't make up for it? :noidea: Not sure it would take one to make that happen.
Look at the beer, that is some bud light shit. That hurts more than it helps.

Maybe I'm just old and married, but none of that came to mind or would slow me down even a little.

Maybe it's just I haven't been married long enough but if we did it as often as the Mrs wanted I would be dead. Higher bar.

It's not a frequency issue. Even if you eat filet mignon every day sooner or later you just want to break out and have a greasy dirty meal off a taco truck. :eyebrows:

I can't believe you're a professional golfer. I think you should be working at the snack bar.

Listen, I had a chance to golf with Doug the other day and let's just say this guy spends more time in the sand than David Hasselhoff.
