They've beaten Washington once and now "that's what we do"? Bigger dumbass than Jim Waldon! Wonder what their coach thinks of his big mouth LB?
They didn't really even beat us last year. Their offense scored 2 field goals. Peterson beat himself by throwing his inept backup QB out there to throw a pick 6 in a game that we were winning.
I wonder if Haener still feels like he should have started Saturday. :|

We fell in the AP poll thanks to Utah's amazing impressive win over BYU. :roll:
Theres no doubt that BYU was a more impressive win then Eastern. However I'd be willing to bet that they won't flip back if the roles reverse this week and we beat CAL by a couple of scores while they cakewalk over Northern Idaho this week?

Yep, I thought Hamden cost us the Auburn game (really, speed option on the goal line with Browning?) and Pete cost us the Cal game inserting Haener.

Wasn't there some idiot decision before the missed FG at Oregon as well?

Yeah, I thought he really thumbed up his nose at Browning settling for the longish FG on 3rd down instead of letting the offense have another play and get it closer. My guess is visions of the fumble against AZ a few years ago danced in his head.

Honestly? I think he left because he KNOWS he SHOULDN'T have.

Ouch:
Just after his team’s comeback win against Oregon, on a weekend when the Pac-12’s image took another right hook to the dome, Auburn running back JaTarvious Whitlow transformed into JaTrollious Whitlow.

“Nobody wanted to lose to Oregon,” Whitlow said after his Tigers’ 27-21 win. “We feel like that’s a bad reputation on them. What are they, ACC? Pac-12? I didn’t even know what they were. A Pac-12 team coming in and beating an SEC team, we can’t take that.”

Unfortunately, he is right. A mediocre SEC team beat the eventual Conference Champ last year and just beat a ranked Oregon this year. If these statement games keep turning into Ls, thenPac 12 won't climb high enough. A handle full of teams ranked between 10 and 15? Hard to have top 10 Wins when no one in your Conference is inside the Top 10 and you continue to stumble outside the Conference.

You took that quote from Calkins' article write? Did you see the Conference breakdown in that paper? Had the Dawgs now behind Utah, and while Cal was rated towards the bottom half of the Conference, the author says how they are head to Seattle to steamroll the Huskies again! If we don't win by three scores I am going to be annoyed as Hell!

I will take a win, but am sick of hearing about Cal. If we hadn't used a QB that couldn't start for many HS teams in the area for two series we win that freaking game, yet now they are coming to our house and "steamrolling us, or what ever quote that Jackass used.
