NW competitiveness is passive aggressive behavior.

I’d settle for being Oregon in terms of popularity, financial support and recruiting. If Lanning was Deboer Oregon wins an NCS last year and looking at back to back this year

On Friday I was given two options of which I needed to choose one for the site. I asked for clarification. But as of this morning they are working on something and then will give me an update. So I am waiting to hear back from Montreal before updating you savages.

I will have an update soon.

I don’t think we can give UW too much credit for Fire Lake. Jen’s text threads with AMC showed it. It was going to be a “teaching moment” or some similar bullshit for him but Lake rejected it and forced them to fire him.

There’s a level of competitiveness in the Midwest culture that doesn’t exist in Washington. I saw a young mom trash talk her own 6 year old son after she beat him at a game of foosball.

We joke about all the different options that exist for outdoor recreation in Seattle but it’s true. A lot of that outdoor stuff is non-competitive. Go to Ohio and sure, there are outdoor options available but so much of that state is meh and so there’s a huge focus on sports and competition that absolutely permeates the culture of the state. Hence, @RaceBannon saying tOSU’s admin is more scared of their fanbase.

There’s another piece of this. A lot of people have mentioned needing an organization will to win and that’s necessary but the part getting left out is the ability and know how needed to win. UW seems to lack the ability and know how at the higher levels.

I think the injury thing is overthinking it by me but that's what we're here for. My doog take is that it may have been a good sign that the team had a hangover from Ohio State. Tells me they expected to win that game and played hard. I also wonder if Demond needed some time to adjust from playing a defense of that level. They didn't need to push and force the way they did to compete and he could excel with his legs when needed against a defense like Maryland in a way he couldn't against Ohio State.
