Re: The Fisching Report Recruiting Thread Sponsored by The Fisch Bowl
A reasonable fan can look at this year’s schedule, though, and conclude that it turned out to be baby soft.
More than two losses is a disappointment. Even if three or four losses looked acceptable at the beginning of the year.

Re: What Husky fans have to say about the UW vs. Oregon rivalry game
They key, here, is alumnus status. With T Boone Pickens, he was alumnus of Okie State. Stephen Ross, alumnus of Michigan. There are a few others, and Mark Cuban appears poised to join them since Indiana football was invented last year, but the key thing is alumni connections. Knight attended and ran track at Oregon.
The problem we? have is that the big-big money guys in Seattle didn't attend UW and don't otherwise give a shit. Gates attended Harvard and gives no shits about sports. Ballmer attended Harvard and likes pro basketball. Allen attended Cuog but limited most if not all his donations to pet project stuff like Frat house overhauls and some academics donations. Allen's dad was a librarian at UW and so he built a library and a comp sci building and probably some other stuff but problem with Allen was that he wasn't a college sports guy and preferred the professional ranks. Otherwise, he could have been it. Schultz went to Northern Michigan and is not from here and gives no fucks. Bezos attended Princeton, isn't from here and gives no fucks.
It's just an accident of history. If Nike were a Seattle company and shoved money up the UW program's ass it'd be fine with me but I get the annoyance.

Re: 13 million a year for Lane
Danny Boy has smartened up and realized that in the SEC one bad year followed by a couple losses the next year and you’re gone.
He has everything he needs to win at Oregon with a lot less hectic atmosphere. He would be a better hire than Kiffin.

Re: 13 million a year for Lane
No, I believe DeBoer.
He wanted the Bama job. He wanted those resources. He wanted to coach the best program in the sport.
That is why he is coaching there. No one kicked him out.
Re: 13 million a year for Lane
Lane has to be the greasiest mother fucker in the history of the sport.

Re: Iron Sharpens Iron
I was getting trolled hard at our hoops team event by 12 year kids whose parents went to fucking Eastern Oregon for fuck's sake. I had to tell them, hey listen little pal, "I'm an actual PAC-10 Champion IRL". They are really good kids, but still.

Re: 13 million a year for Lane
Lanning is also the highest paid coach in America
Knight doesn't fuck around

Re: 13 million a year for Lane
The bitter loser about DeBoer is PGOS and his band of doogs who believe Dannen
I will continue to call out UW for blowing it as long as I have to read about hoping Fisch sucks less enough to leave
Hope this helps
