Hooter and Bobby, could you talk to the coach and show some mercy on us this weekend? We're decimated with injuries to the point of playing some of the cheerleaders. :D

They keep saying he didn't play QB until his Senior year. Basketball was his favorite sport. ?

He was playing other positions in high school football as an underclass man. He was backing up Chase Reddick (who went on to start at Boston college as a freshman) and then Travis Wilson (who went on to start at Utah as a freshman).

When Sam got the starting role in HS as a junior he broke his foot in the second or third game of the season in a game against cross town rivals Dana Hills HS.

So the only full season he played as QB was his senior year.

He played baseball basketball and football as a freshman.

From his sophomore year on he played basketball and football only.

He is a natural shooter with a basketball. In HS whenever there was a conflict he usually did the football related thing however.

I'm guessing they felt a football future was more realistic than one in basketball??

I was dreaming that we we had a good coach, then just woke up. He blew it and I think we may win 1 more this year.[emoji107]
Why play an injured qb that can't run?

Lol......settle down meat. :D Wazzou just basicly did the same thing to Oregon and Stanford. You still gotta get through the rest of your schedule. The right D will slow down your offense. Shit, that might be USC. :D And you finish with that rivalry game .....AWAy. Anything can happen. Don't lose late in the season...the playoff hope killer. :D

Looking like Wazzo will be the best test for the UW. Day after Thanksgiving, in Pullman. We have had a lame summer and early fall, wouldn't doubt that it will be colder than shit and snowing sideways for this game. Mark it down, it will be a one of the best games of the year. And the Cougs will do what they do, Coug it at the end.

Utah and Wazoo are the last two hurdles on the Husky schedule. USC at Huskies.....gonna be a long game for USC fans. Any USC fans remember Todd Marinovich's comments after the beat down he took at Washington?


Expect much of the same on Saturday November the 12th.

At this point I'm thinking we are a 6 win team for the year.
I missed their thoughts on TV but assume we were not favored.

They all agreed that ASU started strong and has been going the other direction. WSU is getting better as the season goes along. Probably be a close game.

That's it, number 2 bites it.

Damn...I didn't realize till late last night that Ohio St. Lost. Lol......I was looking at schedules and just about to say it looks like the B10 is sizing up for a huge final game showdown with Mich/OSU. Still is, but now Mich has to go in for the kill. Bye bye OSU. :D

One more loss than Utah with 4 to go ..... who let these teams in the Pac 10 anyway:grumble:

Yea but Colorados 2nd loss was to Mich......so in Pac12 they are tied with Utah. They both face each other last game of the season. Utah's toughest opponent left is UW. Colorado's is Wazoo. Shit, SC still in the mix. Alot can happen still.

SC last minute loss to Utah may come back to haunt them. They need to win out in the Pac 12 and have Utah loose 2 games. Doesn't look to promising.

I wouldn't count OSU out just yet. They still control their own destiny. If they win their remaining games, including wins over top ten ranked Nebraska and Michigan They would most likely play for the national title. They get Michigan at home. That will still be a big game.

Looks like a battle for 2-3 with Bama being #1 at this point. Clemson, Baylor, Michigan, UW and Nebraska being undefeated. Louisville, A & M and now OSU have 1 loss. Things will change as the weeks go bye.

I don't think Nebraska will be undefeated for very long. They have had a soft schedule and have Wisconsin and Ohio State on the road the next two games. You left out undefeated West Virginia. They Play Baylor later in the season.

UW has several potential obstacles in their path, but have shown so far they are the only elite team in the PAC 12. Wazzo is playing almost as well, better offense but not as solid on D. If WSU would have had their shit together and not lost to much weaker teams before conference play they would be ranked directly behind the UW. Anything can happen in the PAC 12, but the handwriting is on the wall, the two WA State teams are the best in the PAC 12. WSU will have a solid chance of knocking the Husky's out of the drivers seat for a playoff spot, the games in Pullman and the weather will be a factor. THAT game will be one college football teams across the nation will be watching.

I was kinda surprised they started the season so highly ranked. And then just kept climbing after teams dropped. Come on man....a top 10 team ranking with such a weak opening schedule? I say they lose 3 conference games coming up. They shouldn't even begin the rankings until like week 5 imo.

Still thinking UW has a lot to prove or shouldn't be ranked?

Bumpdiggity....

Week starts early w/Stanford @Washington Friday night. Should be a good matchup. I may even record it if I'm not around. :D I think both have yet to prove something. I think Stanford is the stronger overall team. With all the hype of McCaffrey, still waiting to see them use him more effectively.

So..did you record it? Still think Stanford is the stronger team? Guess the problem was they didn't use McCafrrey correctly?

Washington State was nothing last night. If we had a coach that knew how to preserve a time out, we woulda had somewhat of a shot. That's not saying much for WSU considering we had our 4th stringer in but I expected them to pounce on us.

That's all fine a dandy, but your team doesn't have that coach. Injuries are part of the equation. If your team doesn't have depth or players that can stay healthy, you team loses. I am no fan of WSU or Leach but they are playing well and are on a roll. No shame in losing to them as they seem to be the 2nd best team in the PAC 12 north. Their record proves it.

To the USC fans still crying about the sanctions, karma is a bitch. The PAC 12 and NCAA HAD to come down on USC hard, USC was the cheerleader for the BS sanctions against UW in the early 90's. Keep in mind, those sanctions were not initially handed down by the NCAA, the conference as well as leaders in the UW drew up and administered the sanctions. Then the NCAA stepped in and administered more sanctions. The left wing, POS holier than thou that were inside the UW that participated in the mess were shoved out in the years to follow and landed back at USC.

I didn't read in your link where USC had anything to do with the sanctions for UW. It also said the NCAA only added 1 year of TV and 1 year of probation. The main thing that I read in your link was they only forfeited 10 scholarships for 2 years while USC had 15 for 3 years. Bowl games and TV are one things. But the scholarships really hit hard for years afterwards.

BTW. There is a good article about Coach Petersen and the UW program in his weeks ESPN The Magazine. Kids are starting to stay home again.

I still think UW does have something to prove. You're over there getting all excited about their season this year when it's been a horrible season across the Pac12...lol.....they haven't even faced their toughest opponents so far this season. We all thought it was gonna be Stanford, shit even Oregon should have put up a fight. But look how both their seasons have been. UW should be undefeated so far. :rolleyes
