Thursday Open Thread UW vs Standord

Submitted by outwest on

Best thing about Thursday is Thursday evening football.

Stanford needs the win to prove the USC victory was not a fluke, and Washington needs a win in an attempt to stay relevant.

Josh Nunes throws a bomb to the 25 yard line or so. The yardage marker totally fails in its duty as a receiver. 

In kind, Washington does everything possible to make sure the 4th down spot would be about where Nunes' completion to the ground would be.

You really should check down to a running back or a tight end if you want a short pass for some quick yards. The end zone sucks at catches and, for the Seahawks, whose field you are on, just has not been able to complete the process and retain control of the ball.

Stanford's defense looks legit.  The offense may be suffering from being on the road.  I thought all the love Stanford got was a bit overdone, especially the idea of a national championship appearance.  Sure, it could happen, but I'd put a number of teams ahead of them as of now.

Hey! Something finally happened! Nice hands on the pick 6 there, sir. Figured the defense would score more than the offense, it was only a matter of time, but that was a nice play.

I wonder how much UW paid to install a video screen at the open end of the stadium that's has the wrong orientation?  Maybe they're just planning to going to watch footage from iPhone users who don't know to shoot in portrait mode?

It has to be tough to go on the road on a thursday night, luckily when we go out to Salt Lake City in a few years its the opener, even though Rice Eccles is a small stadium its just a tricky situation, and it gets pretty loud there.

Just got home from the game.  Exciting finish, and great win for UW.  

I will say though, I am very glad that UM's team is not named after a canine breed, and that we do not celebrate big plays and defensive stops by chanting "woof woof" at the top of our lungs.

And Stanford fan's back-to-back, well, my gosh, it's like we were all watching two different games.

I confidently explained to a friend that we might beat Notre Dame because there's no way we'd have such an ill-conceived offensive game plan as Borges, no disrespect to y'all. And then...THAT happened.

It gets better, right? It all gets better? Please tell me it gets better.
