Re: Ducks
Makes you wonder if guys like that like being a star more than they like actually playing. There are people like that. They're happy with status and potential but less enthusiastic about proving it.
IDK. Seems soft. The slow mo of the helmet being pulled down and hitting his nose didn't seem that bad. And then he sits out a significant portion of a game that wasn't a blow out.

It is truly the salad days for mediocre college football coaches.

Re: I'm calling it now
Divisions within the conference makes the most sense, but you'd need 8 teams so that would mean adding Stanford, Cal, and probably the Arizona schools.

Re: I'm calling it now
I'm honestly shocked this hasn't happened yet. Football and basketball should be in separate conferences. Everything else should be regional smaller conferences. Not that hard. Cuts the cost of administering the Olympic sports down to a fraction. No reason we should be flying softball, baseball, whatever teams to Rutgers. Let them play on the west coast.

Re: A Hardcore Husky O.G. sells the couch
This is sad news to me. Messaged with Pawz privately many times over the years. Reasonable, fair minded, and a true fan. 47 is beyond sad. Should have had 40 more to go. Fair winds and following seas Andrew…

I'm calling it now…will be owned by Saudi Arabia. Trying to sell every thing for the highest price you can get ends with being owned by the Saudis. Congrats.
In all seriousness, I think the opposite now. I think UW will hope to be in a trimmed Big 10 with the blue bloods or a combined NFL style league with the SEC.
They're not making any money off of Rutgers vs. UW or Maryland vs. Purdue etc, so they're gonna have to chase stronger games.

If they take $100m from this private equity deal, they are owned forever.

Re: I'm calling it now
It’ll start out by giving 1/19th equity to the investor. The schools will all spend their equity money way too fast and then will need to take a loan from the investor to maintain their spending. Then will need to get another loan. Then those loans get converted to even more equity for the investor and eventually they can just out vote everyone.

Re: Whitlock: "I'm not buying Bo Nix"
There are a couple of top QB’s, 6-8 really good QB’s and a glut of average to above average guys depending on their health of their team, coach, and roster.
Bo Nix is a good QB and has a good team and coach around him. Put him elsewhere and maybe he’s not all that good, but that isn’t the case.
