For every team we’ve played this year sans TTech and UW, WSU has been Goliath. WSU fans should understand that concept better than most.

Correct. Cuck90’s mom was too busy slutting her way around town to love him. As stretch pointed out, his Biggs Derangement Syndrome is off the charts. Cuck90 is a turd.

I love how Cuck90, charter member of the CotRW, stalks me to read all my posts. What a fcking loser. The ignore button should have 2 functions. The first is it removes the shitbags from your feed. The second is that it removes your posts from their feed.

The lengths these CotRW losers go to discredit anyone that says anything remotely critical about their Lord and Savior Jake Dickfore is lunacy.

What hymn is it this week losers? Don’t be selfish. Make sure you pivot the other direction in your circle jerk.

Unlike past Cougar teams, I'm hard-pressed to find ANY single thing this team gives me confidence in.

In years past we've had great secondaries or edge rushers or stout defensive lines or electric passing games or talented and explosive running backs. You knew there was at least one SINGLE thing you could count on each game.

This team...I got nothing so far. That's all I have to say about that.

His answer was valid I’m not sure why you can’t accept it. Pretty clear he supports whoever is opposing Trump. Like yesterday for example, I supported Indiana, while every other week of the college football season I don’t even know who Indiana is playing.

Well, Harris is opposing Trump and Willie does not seem to support her. Or maybe he does and doesn’t want to admit it. Or maybe he’s a Russian bot.

7-1. Which means you are 1-7. And still working Saturdays coaching high school JV cuz you weren’t good enough. Only loser I see is you.

Yes. Take it. The kids are winning in spite of Dickfore, not because of him.

He should have been fired after his 2-7 league record last year.

When I watch any professional team (in any sport) enough I see a lot of decisions that I question. I think Jake could use some risk/reward thinking after each game. But you know...I said the same about Mike Leach.

Football at WSU is never dull.

I disagree about Oregon St.

Oregon St. is Oregon St.

this is the worst 4-4 team in the country.

There are 3 in the W column that are clearly not deserved, yet they somehow managed to get away with.

This team makes winning look way harder than it should week after week.

I pray to the lord Christ almighty and any other deities that we don't make a playoff and completely embarrass the school and the fanbase.

So if we are playing “down” to our competition, isn’t it reasonable to expect a heroic effort if we played Miami let’s say? Miami needed a miracle to beat a middling VT team BTW, none of these top 10 CFB teams are impervious to losing to a less talented team.

Do I think we “deserve” to be in the playoff the way we’re winning…hell no. But if the chips fall that way would sure be fun to see how the kids respond to that test, and with a talent like Mateer you always have a punchers chance. More fun than watching the Sun Bowl minus half our starters who are sitting out.

Cougs are 7-1 and outperforming YOUR pre-season expectations. Yet here you are tearing them down based on your sensitive feelings.

How about supporting the team as they try and reach 8-1, a level of achievement rarely found in Washington State University history?

If you can’t handle the ups and downs of a college football season, perhaps there are other activities more in line with your emotional capacity.

Suudy:

You hit the nail, (Page 1 of this thread):

"Cougs playing down to the competition. Our victory will come down to depth, not skill. Edit: Or motivation, as in we look uninspired, unmotivated, or as my son says, “mid.”"

Dummying down to the competition. Agreed. We see it all the time. Kids are human, then the opposing team wins when they want it more. Not the case last night. Despite that we "dummied down", our guys still found a way to win.

I would 100% disagree on uninspired or unmotivated. I didn’t see that at all. Definitely some discipline issues and boneheaded mistakes but they played hard all night.

You first.

It was a good effort in the comeback, but I've lost faith in Arbuckle overall. I don't know if it's him or Dickert making aggressive calls when they don't make sense....and then being predictable at other times, but it's frustrating to see the coaches make bad decisions that keep games closer than they should be. And if I can guess that a QB run is coming 3/4 of the time.....coaches that are paid to recognize that shit are definitely keying in on it.

Depending on how this season finishes out, I think that there should be some real soul searching in the OC department. Arbuckle obviously has some good moments but this team feels like it's underperforming on offense overall.

Of course, defensively, I don't even know what to say. We can't seem to play defense at all until we are sitting there with our feet on the goal line and then we suddenly have a Top 25 defense. It's frickin' bonkers.

We should still finish 11-1 and no matter the competition, that's still great....but this game should stop the CFP talk. My hope is that we end up #10 after a nice non-CFP bowl win....even if I know that we don't really have a Top 10 team.
