Bull. Dennis Erickson, for one, would have had them in at least one
bowl game if not more during the same time frame that Willingham has
had. That if anything is Erickson's forte. Quick results. But UW
never went after Erickson. Not ever. And I say that the UW job is
the one job that Erickson has always really wanted and would have
stayed at. For whatever reason UW always turned their nose up at
him. ASU's gain for now.

Syracuse is the *only* win I see on the UW schedule. I'd say Stanford
too, but the dawgs *lost* to Stanford last year. Not only lost, but
lost badly (3-20). Not only lost badly, but lost badly at home, and
to a Stanford team that had no other wins, having lost all their other
games by an average of 24 points. What if Stanford is better this
year?

UW may win more games, but it's hard to see where. And what if they
lose to Syracuse?
