Nice work Dawgs

[Nehalennia]

Man I was very impressed with the way the Dawgs came out and played last night. A great debut for a new era team that had to endure the last year and lethargy of a lame duck coach and poor program.
Sarkisian and Holt gave all of us Dawg fans hope for a great season last night. Even though we lost it was a great game to watch and if we correct a couple of things and hold onto the ball it could have been a massive upset.

GO DAWGS!!!

[Stray Cat]

Even though they lost, they were entertaining! And that's huge improvement over the last 4 years. A couple of plays go the Huskies way and it's a different ball game last night.

[Stompor]

Well at least they have a "W" on the side of the helmit. :)

Yeah, but Huskies spell helmit like this ....helmet.

I have been a proud Husky ticket holder for many years, good years, bad years, and really bad years (all of the Tyrone W. years) but last night I almost had tears in my eyes after that first touchdown of ours. The stand went nutso. Today I'm a very proud Husky, Steve delivered everything he told us he would on the "Raise the Woof" night a few weeks back. Last year I couldn't even give my extra two tickets away, this year I already have people calling me...........yehaaaaa GO Dawgs!

[Stompor]

Oops, looks like I Couged it (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Couged%20It). :eek:

[Randygh]

The dogs did look good and will contend well in the PAC 10 this year. Congrats to Coach Sark.

The Cougs are a better team this year than last, but still don't have the talent to win more than 2 or 3 games. Stanford outmuscled the Coug offensive and defensive lines. The Cougs don't have a QB as good as Locker, and it really showed in Saturday's game. Coach Wolf will need another year or two to be competitive in the PAC 10.

[Tedster]

Well this week it is a little different, for the first time in a very long time we are big time favorites with a 20.5 point line over the Idaho's!!

[CougarCruiser]

I hope UW is a 20 point favorite over Idaho...

I'm obviously not the greatest Dawg fan out there, but I was impressed in the improvement of the team. LSU did not play particularly well, and UW gave them a run for their money at a time or 2.

Not to start a fuss or anything, but what I absolutely just don't get is all the hype about Locker. Ok, so the guy can run. He shouldn't be a QB - he should be a back. The guy has a 50% completion ratio. He cannot throw the ball consistently. However, the espn announcers could do nothing less than stroke the Locker ego. I've never heard announcers stroke a college kid who can't throw a football like they do for Locker. He's going to run the ball on 3rd down alot this year (because he sure can't throw it)... he's going to get injured again... just wait. At least the announcers will talk about how great he looks from the sidelines and how promising the kid looks.

BTW, I am also happy to discuss all the ways the Cougars failed to perform as well. I'm an equal opportunity complainer.

The admiral is a Duck -- now -- let's agree that they are OVERRATED big time this year.

[Nehalennia]

Well I believe last year you were right about Locker in terms of his poor passing. He was very inconsistent. This year however he has lost weight and has worked hard on his passing techniwues with Sark. I thought his first game was great and with an actual coach, who was a quarterback's coach and quarterback himself; Locker is in much better hands.

He threw for 25-45-1(Completions-Attempts-Int). Also he ran for a couple 3rd down conversions but they overall were 11 of 19. That's not bad. He was much better than last year.

25 for 45 is 55% completion ratio -- how does make him much better? REALLY? :shock:

As for running for 3rd down conversions... they'll always do that because he throws for 55% completion. But, they better not do that all season long or he'll be out with a major injury again.

I think his last season stats (before his broken thumb which sidelined him for most of the season because the moron tried to be a full back blocker) had him throwing for a 54% completion ratio. All that work with Sark in the off season... he completed one more pass than he would have a year ago. Nice work.

Praise the performance of Aguilar, and the new back, Polk. Those guys came to play.

Why do people praise Locker so much?

The Dawgs really do have some great talent on their time. Tyrone did recruit well - he just couldn't pull it altogether. I just wish the press would give more credit to the other players, because Locker just isn't the crowning glory.

(I'd feel the same way regardless of the team.)

[Nehalennia]

They all did better. The quarterback always gets the most attention, unless you have two quarterbacks......

I don't expect you to be a fan, and would hope for just the opposite, but the Dawgs are looking better and I'm looking forward to watching the rest of the season.

16-13 washington!!!! over USC. Yeah.....Locker is that good!!

Sark and Holt had them ROCKIN' BAAAABY RoCkiN' !!!!!

Ok... first off... CONGRATS to the dawgs... they pulled that one off nicely! Great to see the Trojans take a nose dive.

UW played better than USC today... scoreboard shows it...

HOWEVER, how the heck can people think Locker is so that great? SERIOUSLY - give the rest of the UW team some credit and realize that locker really is NOT the god that the announcers make him out to be.

Let's talk stats for this game...

21 for 35 passing. That's a 60% completion ratio. better than 50%, but far from stunning by any means. Does that make him great?

Threw for how many TDs? ZERO? That screams greatness. enough said.

Rushing... where this guy is supposed to be amazing... -15 yards on the day. Oh yeah, that's fantastic.


At the end of the day, Locker is still overrated and not that good of a QB. the rest of the team stepped up big time today and carried the victory.


Stop giving Locker credit -- he's not good. Today, his team made him look good.

[wickus]

Forget Locker, Ted is going to be insufferable for a long time.

Rivera blows a save, USC is beaten by the Huskies. Next you'll be telling me the Mariners were in the playoffs and the Seahawks are 12 and 4.

Is hell freezing over?

(damn, that was exciting, wasn't it)

You keep saying that. It's a team sport and that's the point, it's takes everyone on the same page to get a win in this conference. Plus 60% against one of the country's best defenses is awesome. You're going to have to admit it sometime....Locker is great, especially in this game.

Congrats to your Cougars too?

[Tedster]

Well my boating buddies yes of course I was in the stands cheering for my DAWGS! I don't know if I will ever forget this game today. I have been 1/2 of the season tickets for 14 years and this stadium has never rocked to the intensity it had today. I won't say we played a perfect game, but what I will say is that we just beat the #3 team in the nation by 3 points when we were 20 point underdogs. That my friends is huge! I took a pic with my cell phone when there was about 100 people on the field, about 60 seconds later there was no green turf to be seen. The stadium went nuts! I went nuts too! Oh yes a WIN I will never forget, and we are now 2 & 1 with a win in the Pac 10.

[Go Aweigh2452]

Fun ending to a good game. We were at the Puyalup Fair and I was at the Comcast booth while Lea checked out the place. There must have been 70 people crowded around there. What a cheer at the end!!!!

[Tedster]

Debi and I are just plain worn out from the whole day, very emotional!

[Randygh]

It's hard for me as a Cougar to say twice in one year, good job Dawgs. The UA game was most entertaining. Coach Sark has done an outstanding job and if the Huskies continue winnning, he should be PAC-10 Coach of the Year. Congrats Dawgs.

[Go Aweigh2452]

COngrats... Long day for me as well. Had a guest (MajGen) from MD come out for a talk to my alumni Association this evening but prior to that we watched the Navy/Rice game (63/14), the Army/Vanderbilt (16/13 in overtime) and TCU/Air Force (20/17) games, then ran a dinner for 40 alumni and now am home after a loooong day/evening....

All good however...

UW has a Medal of Honor Dedication tomorrow at 10AM I am thinking of going to...

go Dawgs!...

[Tedster]

Luckly there is no such column for ugly wins or we would be at the top! But I'll tell you one thing is for sure, there is no quit in those Dawgs! Even though I was there the whole game I still don't know how we won, but damn-it we did and we are 3-3 and 2-1 in the Pac 10. I hope my gentle voice comes back Sunday!!

[CougarCruiser]

I gotta say... WOW - what an ending.

A little luck, alot of 'fight' -- and the Dawgs stepped it up.

Won't here me say this, but they 'deserve' to be 2-1 in the Pac 10.

And we all know how I feel about Locker - but he earned his completions and yards this game -- and I appreciated how the announcer's were admitting, "For Locker to take it to the next level, he has to work on his passing. AND, he has. AND, it shows tonight".

At least the pain in my gut isn't agony that the Dawg's won and shouldn't have. It's because of the sinking feeling tha the Cougar nation is experience combined with a little jealousy that UW has a great coaching staff and ours is far less than stellar.

Gonna be a rough Apple Cup...

[Nehalennia]

I watched the last quarter and a half in the Tulalip casino. Mo and I were at her buddy's 40th. Since there was a live band they had the game on a 42" plasma accross the casino so I could barely make out the number on the screen, but I thought when the score was 24 - 30 Arizona with 1:30 or so to go that it was the 4th and we were done, then AZ scored again. I looked back up after the commercial to see 15:00 on the clock. AHA! we had a chance. What a great 4th quarter. The defense really learned to stick with it and overcome adversity. It was good to see. Locker had a few poised plays and I'll still tell CougarCruiser that Locker is the real deal and his tutelage under Sarkisian continues to hone his raw talents. Stay tuned.

Go DAWGS!!!!

[Tedster]

I gotta tell you that my before the season started of 6 wins is looking darn good right now! Go Dawgs!

ps. last year no one wanted my two extra tickets,this year they are calling me in advance!!

[CougarCruiser]

Ok... seriously -- I was being very considerate for the Dawg's with their win.

But really? If I hear one more 'Locker is the real' deal line of complete ignorance and BS - I think I'm going to die.

Did Locker step up when it counted? yeah - maybe. Kinda sorta. He played better when he needed to for the first time ever - and yes, he is SLOWLY maturing.

BUT - let's get back to stats... shall we?

The guy threw 12/43 with a grand total (yes TOTAL) of offensive passing hards of 140. 52% completion ratio and 140 total yards? Can someone please explain to me how that makes him 'real deal'?

He did have 92 yards rushing -- 56 of which came on one great avoidance of a sack. Bad play by Arizona and Locker got LUCKY. So, take out that one single run and he had what - 36 yars of rushing? 3 yards more than he got at Notre Dame? i guess that beats the -15 he had against USC ?

So... still think he's the 'real deal'?

Even my close friends who are UW alum and very serious fans just balk when a fellow UW alum or anyone else says something like 'Locker is the real deal'.


Anyone wanna start placing bets that Locker is real deal (ie, this means he will make first round of the draft this year AND actually play beyond preseason on Sundays)? I'm in.

[Tedster]

Well if you re-read what I put, I said we played like crap for most of the game and got lucky in the end with a ugly win. But I still say we will figure out a way to win at least 6 games!

Yes, Locker is the real deal. All quaterbacks, especially in college will go through ups and downs. Maybe this was a down stat game for him but he still lead the Dawgs to victory. If your biased Cougar vision can't see the raw talents that are being cultivated by Sarkisian and honed right now that's fine, but in the end and as he goes pro, my bets are that he will be one of the greats. Call me ignorant,that's fine, but he's gifted.

[Tedster]

Probably his biggest talent that he has proven time and time over is.............he does not give up ever until the game is long over. And that has won us at least two games and close on two others.
By the way the Huskies have the NCAAF's toughest schedule nationwide based on rankings at the beginning of the season, and that is a written fact.

[CougarCruiser]

Still think Locker is one of the greats? He did bump is numbers to 57% this week. However, 2 interceptions (technically 3 - because one got called for a tough foul). His amazing mobility garnered him a total of 24 yards!!! yeah baby, that bleeds first round!

Where was the 'fight' this week? And go give up that play at the end? Kind of reminded me of the Apple Cup last year... (oh yeah - we've got the last 4 of 5 in the books).

anybody who wants to start placing bets about Locker's draft position - or his 'in'ability to elevate the team - let's get 'em out there.

UW won last week because the ball kissed a UW defensive person with seconds left.

US lost this week because the UW secondary forgot to 'fight'. Call it a mistake, a miscommunication, a slip up - they happen.

As for my bias towards the Cougs... They are horrible this year. Yes, I am a donor, and yes - I believe in funding our stadium ourselves rather than trying to push the public to pony up 150 million in a significant economic recession.

My cougar 'bias' is just tired of people talking up the Huskies because they've played 1 good game this season against USC, got lucky against Arizona, and beat a little 'Idaho' team.

At least my feelings towards the Cougs are balanced (yes, we're down.) Our coach is building a program from scratch. And - we don't need to ask the public for money. Todd - next time you talk about 'bias' - check the behavior you put out on the forum - before you speak, know what you are talking about. I hear opinions from you -- preface that. I state stats - numbers count.

As for Sark -- he is not a favorite on campus... Several athletic programs got cut or took major hits to pay for his salary (and his assistants).

That being said -- that million(s)+ salary sure is worth 3 wins - huh? 1 earned, one expected, and one lucky. At least that's better than last year - huh?

Don't kill the messenger -- don't blame it on 'bias' for the Cougs... I'm just putting numbers and stated fact out there...

As for getting old, stop replying to my replies if you don't like them. Maybe that'll help you from saying something that might cause someone to want to correct you. Who would've thought a little banter would get your panties in a wad. Jeez.

Keep it in perspective. Public forum...

As for rooting for whoever-you-want --- I encourage it. I would just hope that when the rooting is in a public forum - that you would root with some level of accurracy. And when someone pushes back on you with a little factual data - don't get on your high horse and start questioning MO.

I just happen to think your opinion is wrong. And I'm happy to push back.

Examples of statements of questionable accurracy - or maybe no actual knowledge of what defines bad/good/greatness as a quarterback in football. Or maybe it's all just an opinion of yours -- of which I am allowed to disagree and voice my opposition on a public forum:

Well that's fine. I don't expect you to root for Locker. You're a Cougar. Don't expect me to root for your Cougars either. I don't and won't... you're the devil. It's a good natured rivalry. My cousin's a Cougar and when it comes to rooting on DAWGS vs. Cougs, he's the devil too.

I thought you were referring to anything I've said on the boating side of this forum.

My accuracy in my rooting for Locker based on stats is crazy. It's a sport. I'll root for him because of leadership, his heart and energy. You're MO shouldn't be to "ensure balance" on a public forum. This is a boating site with DAWG and Cougar fans. You root for your Cougs, I'll root for the DAWGS and we can jab at each other as we're supposed to.

Yes we can disagree. What I'm saying is old is that's all you have right now is to nit pick all the stats. He passed for over 300 yards yesterday. Yes he had 3 interceptions(costly I might add), but he did very well and the running game is the reason we lost. As for the meager 24 yards he scampered for(or whatever it was), there were few attempts for him to run.

I still maintain Locker is extremely good(it's not just me) many commentators and coaches consider Locker one of the best athletes in College football.

GO DAWGS!!!!!

[Tedster]

Relax Todd, he is just Coug'ing it like they do so well, we know what the real deal is so go Dawgs, and yes they did not play up to their talents. I always say it is easy for a Cougy to get mouthy on a BYE week anyway!@!

[SomeSailor]

Play nice guys... :)

[Randygh]

As a devout Cougar, I think Jake Locker is a good quarterback, but certainly not as good a Drew Bledsoe, Jason Guesser, Ryan Leaf, Chris Chandler, or Warren Moon. I don't know if he'll be picked up in the first or second round of the pro draft, but he is gaining the attention of national media. He didn't lose the game last night. The defense screwed up big time.

Cougar Cruiser is correct in that Coach Wulf is starting from scratch. It's highly probable the Cougs will lose every game this year. It's going to take 3 or 4 years before the Cougs are respectable. I'd love to see the Cougs win the Apple Cup again this year, but I don't think they will.

[wickus]

snort, ryan leaf...snort..ha, snort..haha

Ryan Leaf was a good collegiate quarterback. After turning pro, he became another Brian Bosworth, pretty worthless and a waste of big money.

Trust me we know, but it still was funny!~

[CougarCruiser]

Leaf and I went to WSU during the same time period.

Amazing quarterback, total douche' bag of a guy.

As happy as we were for the Cougs to be at the top during that time, we were all miserable that the NFL could allow such a jerk into the game.

Most are sad he went down in flames like he did as it reflects horribly on WSU's program - but none of his behavior and antics were a surprise.

[tolly28]

I went to WSU during the Drew Bledsoe era. In fact, I had several classes with him, and he was a good guy.

Even though our football team is not playing so hot, I'm still proud to be a Coug. I'm a donor, Alumni Association Life Member, and a member of the Cougar Yacht Club. My Coug pride isn't the result of football scores...

There's always the Apple Cup...

[Randygh]

Cougar Yacht Club????

[tolly28]

Yep! http://www.cougaryachtclub.org/

[Go Aweigh2452]

You guys are almost like the classic Army/Navy game but from the looks of this post, not as civil as we are...

Ether Army or Navy could have a 0/11 season but if we beat either, like the Apple Cup, we have a winning season...

This I believe will be our 7th Navy win over Army in a row... and we have a winning season (5/2) beating SMU in overtime Saturday.

BUT, we still don't get so riled up or nasty like you Cougs and Dawgs do... some of you guys have to watch the end of the Army Navy game to understand... ya might even learn something...

When Army and Navy meet, there is no other game with deeper foundations or greater prestige.

[CougarCruiser]

Nothing to really get riled up over... Cougs have won the last 4 out of 5 Apple Cups.

:)

[Stray Cat]

All-time series Washington: 64-31-6
The Dawgs have sucked for the last 5 years. The Cougars have sucked for the last 90 years, except for a few great squads.
For the record, I like them both. However when they play each other, I'm a dog fan. Which totally ****es off my two cats... lol
I would love to see both of them go 10-0 and play each other in the Apple Cup.

[Tedster]

"I would love to see both of them go 11-0 and play each other in the Apple Cup."

Me too as long as the Dawgs won!

[wickus]

guffaw, still laughing about Ryan Leaf. It was fun looking him up in the Whatcom County Jail roster earlier this year... chortle, haha.

[Sundancer]

Cougs/Dawgs is kind of a silly battle. Most of us have good friends, siblings or other relatives that attended one or the other. I'm a die hard Coug fan, but even in years like this I'd rather have the Huskies doing well than USC or any other team outside of Washington State! Sure, I'd like to see the Cougs do better, but I'll cheer for the Dawgs when they aren't playing the Cougs! The Cougs are in a rebuilding century, but we're used to it. We're usually from farming communities where crops fail, farm prices drop and folks can handle and are used to that kind of adversity. The Huskies on the other hand start whining when they aren't in a bowl game and talk about replacing coaches! I think it's a big city vs. farming kind of mentality, but that's just my perspective.

Thanks for the Cougar Yacht Club link, I've NEVER seen that before! I even know the Vice Commodore!! That does bring up a funny memory that seems to happen each year when boating season starts and they have the parade through the Mountlake cut! For a few years now the Husky band has been on the front of a couple of large boats. The FUNNY part is that the boats had Cougar burgees at the bow and hanging from the antenna's! It just cracks me up!! :mrgreen:

Doug is right, the Army/Navy game is more civil. They are representing our country and do so admirably. How about us Cougs/Dawgs do the same thing knowing we are representing the great state of Washington?

NFP’s Super 30: Washington’s Locker tops list
By Wes Bunting, National Football Post
3 hours, 53 minutes ago

Buzz up! 1 PrintIn the third installment of the NFP’s Super 30, we break down and rank the nation’s top draft-eligible prospects through the first seven weeks of the college football season.


1. QB Jake Locker, Washington (6-foot-3, 226 pounds)
The nation’s top quarterback prospect.


Ndamukong Suh

(Bruce Thorson/US Presswire)

2. DT Gerald McCoy, Oklahoma (6-4, 298)
Has been downright dominant at times and consistently controls the line of scrimmage.


3. DT Ndamukong Suh, Nebraska (6-4, 302)
Makes as many plays as any defensive lineman in the country; always seems to be around the football.

si has him from the 1st to the 6th quarterback coming out of the draft.

it ain't location, it's athleticism, athleticism, athleticism.

[CougarCruiser]

If Locker is the horse-of-hopes-and-dreams for all you Husky fans out there...

Giddy up... best of luck to you.

The stats don't lie... and yes, he sure is athletic. No doubt he's capable of going in the draft.

I just don't think he's 1st round material, nor will he be a starter on Sundays.

So, if UW is really got their hopes and dreams riding on a round 2+, backup qb at best... congratulations. Best of luck to him.

Please, prove me wrong.

Onto the Apple Cup. Cougs may lose, but it'll still be 4 of the last 6 and you guys won't have Locker next year if he stays healthy and has any common sense. NFL salary cap = interesting days are coming....

[Tedster]

I knew you would take this fact well....."1. QB Jake Locker, Washington (6-foot-3, 226 pounds)
The nation’s top quarterback prospect." :D

[Randygh]

If Locker goes pro, (I would if I was in his position) I wonder if the Seaturkeys have a long term plan for a QB to replace Hasslebeck? I don't think Seneca Wallace is going to cut the mustard and be Hasslebeck's replacement. He's a good athlete, but he lacks the impressive stats of a starting QB, and he's had enough starts to prove himself.

[Randygh]

Bad day for the Cougs and Dawgs. I was rooting for the Dawgs to wip the Ducks and hoped the Cougs would be respectable against the Bears. The Cougs had 299 total yards of offense in the first half, but were outplayed by the Bears on both sides of the scrimmage line.

[Sundancer]

Very quiet in here all of the sudden......

[Tedster]

The Dawgs stunk it up really bad today. Many bad calls by reff's and many bad calls by coaches. Just a bad day all the way around!

[Nehalennia]

I only saw the first half but that was brutal.

[CougarCruiser]

I won't banter on about Locker tonight. Don't need to. He sucked. 2 int's in the red zone, threw the ball away when he should have tucked & run, and oh yeah... negative rushing yards today. nice work.

Sark sucked as well. His play calling showed immaturity. 4th and 2 on the 2 and you go for it? Should've taken the easy 3... Credit for aggressiveness, but it was like the ugly guy going after the hot chick. Didn't stand a chance.

HOWEVER.

C. Polk is a stud. Sure, he had a fumble - but he's a freshman! Hats off to Polk on the dawg squad. If he continues - you should all re-focus off of Locker and put that energy towards Polk. Man, that guy is amazing to watch -- particular in yards after contact. He has had stellar games against tough defenses of Oregon and Notre Dame. He impresses me more than anyone on the UW roster.

So there.. a little UW love from a Coug. C. Polk is scary good.

Oregon is THAT good. UW didn't stand a chance. They've lost 1 game to a top 10 team in the country. My wife is a duck alum, so needless to say - I get an ear full from her.

No doubt, UW is more exciting to watch than WSU this year. We admittedly suck for more reasons than I need to go into. But - I'm sure looking forward to Apple Cup!

[merrily]

UW defense is still not good enough to keep the team in games against teams like Oregon. The had no answers today at all. When your offense is in the hole, it makes for a tough day. The first half they did okay, but the offense couldn't make it happen. Doesn't matter though, Oregon ran away in the second half.

I was right, you're the Devil.

Now that is funny Todd! :iconbiggrin:
