still waiting on Al's prediction
Holy cow you covered some ground on that trip. Ketchikan to Coldfoot is no mean feat. That's some serious travelling.Started a few nights in Seattle, then took Amtrak up to Vancouver. Cruised up the inland passage (Vancouver/Ketchikan/Juneau/Skagway/Glacier Bay/Seward), then inland through Homer/Anchorage/Denali/Fairbanks. Side trip up to Coldfoot/Wiseman (above Arctic Circle). Was a great trip. 3 weeks altogether. Beautiful scenery, no rain, stayed in 60s/70s.
You have 13 post on this board. That won't even get you an open bag of chips.I can't wait until this series is over so Dawg goes away.
I wanted to punch you in the face after your first post here, and I mean that in a New Jersey, loving way. How ya doin?You have 13 post on this board. That won't even get you an open bag of chips.
Hiya NS. :) I'll admit I came on a little strong that first thread on here. :D Meanwhile that poster I quoted up above is using an account he made back in 2013 and has a grand total of 13 post. If that isn't a troll account then I've never seen one before.I wanted to punch you in the face after your first post here, and I mean that in a New Jersey, loving way. How ya doin?

Washington was coming off back to back 6 - 6 seasons before they finally put it together last year so I figured some smack talk was in order. I've toned it down some since then. I expect a closer game this year. It will be Ash's 2nd year so he's had at least a little time to get his system in place not to mention west coast teams don't fare too good when they play on the east coast. Boston College beating USC a few years back comes to mind although there's a lot more examples than just that game.What I find amusing about your posting style is you come in here like Mike Tyson gearing up for the championship fight, when you are in reality fighting a 90 pound weakling. Well, that's what were last year. We should be bulked up to about at least 180 pounds and have a few more punches for the Dawgs this year. Maybe jet lag will kick in and slow the Dawgs down.

UW doesn't have anyone with John Ross speed. That guy was one of a kind in the speed dept. I think Washington is going to rely on the run a lot more than they did last year. They have arguably the best 1 - 2 RB punch in the conference, Jake Browning is coming off an operation, they have a new WR coach after Hamdan joined the Falcons staff, and they have 4 returning starting OL. All that tells me run the ball. I don't see Washington racking up near the passing yards as they did last season.Well, John Ross III will not outrun us this year, so we have that going for us. Pettis is a step slower, or at least I think he is. Any other speedsters we need to worry about in the WR and return departments?
Holy cow. Hamdan and our ex-coach Kyle Flood are on the same staff.UW doesn't have anyone with John Ross speed. That guy was one of a kind in the speed dept.

Who's going to be Rutgers starting QB this season?
Are you getting banned during this year's game too?You have 13 post on this board. That won't even get you an open bag of chips.
Seeing Notre Dame at 25 after a season where they just went 4-8 reminds me of
You need to stop trying to incite this poster. If you don't like his thread, don't read it.Are you getting banned during this year's game too?
Well, better and more experienced offensive coaches would have better understood the tools we had and catered a scheme to them.... rather than trying to fit our personnel into a specific scheme that they weren't suited for.
We came into last year with just four WRs with collegiate receptions [Grant (63 rec, 685 yds, 1 TD), Patton (57 rec, 704 yds, 5 TD), Agudosi (27 rec, 424 yds, 1 TD), and Tsimis (25 rec, 254 yds, 3 TD)].... and then some freshmen and guys without collegiate receptions.... and we were running a scheme that was looking to go 7-8 guys deep into the WR roster? We did away with the FB and blocking TEs in a year where we were thin on the OLine and replacing both our tackles? Trying to make a pro-style QB into a read option one on top of all of that, too?
I get that Ash wanted to move to more of a spread concept and hired a guy he thought could get us there... but our personnel just wasn't there yet on Day One, and hotshot didn't have the chops to tailor the scheme and ramp us toward a spread (rather than trying to go cold turkey).
So how does this years squad compare to last years? Where is UW stronger, where are they weaker? Where can they be exposed?
I don't think UW will be near as deep on the DL as last season. The secondary is young and can be exposed early in the season while they're still green. The DL won't be near as deep and on the offensive side the loss of John Ross will be noticeable imo. Strengths will be the running game and LB position. I doubt Washington puts up near the offensive numbers as they did last season.So how does this years squad compare to last years? Where is UW stronger, where are they weaker?

OC and head coach, let's not forget the issues with him that game as well
THE OC REPORTS TO THE HC, the HC is the boss and can override and make changes anytime he wants. The HC approves of the offense, plan etc etc
our OC has been made a scapegoat, he was only part of the problem

I never understood that west to east excuse. If anything eastern teams going west.. especially for night games.. is a huge disadvantage.Washington was coming off back to back 6 - 6 seasons before they finally put it together last year so I figured some smack talk was in order.

They call this ADDITION BY SUBTRACTION.I predict this year's offense will be a reasonable threat to our opponents as opposed to DM's offense which was so ill conceived and such a misfit with our personnel that it was almost no threat to the defense and it put tremendous pressure on our defense and special teams.
Yes, he'll be able to bring the other coaches liquid refreshment.DM probably has *something* to offer the coaching ranks sometime in the future...
Just a wild guess but I'm thinking humidity might be a factor. What you people back east call 'air' we call 'soup'. Seriously I don't know how you people live like that. I remember my time at Ft. Dix and the air there was like trying to breathe soup. Five minutes out of the shower and my t-shirt was sticking to my back. Fvk all that.I never understood that west to east excuse.

It is known that you are at your physical and mental peak fairly close to "morning" for you, all things being equal regarding nutrition and sleep.
Assuming football games in the east begin anywhere from Noon to 8PM.. that is 9AM to 5PM for a "Pacific Time" player, with games finishing maybe 4 hours later.. 1PM to 8PM (Pacific Time). Whereas that same case for an Eastern Time player becomes 3PM to 11PM and ending 7PM to 2AM.
Its no contest. West Coast teams playing on the East Coast for HOME and HOME have an ADVANTAGE.
Just a bad first halfWe did score on them last year.
RUTG 0 3 0 10 13
WASH 24 10 14 0 48

This is very true and I had not considered it. But is that a dry rain they have in Seattle? I do know Miami counts the humidity as a home field advantage. But September is a time when it can be verrrry nice here. You get those Canadian Highs sending cool dry air in.. very nice. The warm ocean helps moderate temps for a long time.Just a wild guess but I'm thinking humidity might be a factor. What you people back east call 'air' we call 'soup'.

I'd say we have the same chance of beating them as we do with the salmon running up the Raritan again. Probably, highly unlikely, but that's why they play the game.Just curious can we beat Washington this year? Would love for us to beat them.

You do know that Deninos main location in on Staten Island.Dawg, we are starting our tailgate at 9am on gameday. Want to join us. If you do my prediction is by game time neither of us will know (or care) who is playing and what the score is. If you come I will also bring a pizza pie Deninos South for you to try. Real pizza will send make you a Jersey lover.
