Derek, WoolleyDoog, JoeEDangerously and guest Haie commiserate after Washington's disappointing loss to Michigan in the national championship game last night. Shout outs include @Sandra6
So did anyone ever find out what happened to the disappearing Germ-Bern? Apparently there may have been a few missing special team/bench guys missing from the sideline too?

Hip injury second half against Texas. Couldn’t play through it. Westover also had a leg injury in the sugar bowl but tuffed it out. Germie would’ve had a nice game last night with the two deep safeties forcing us to dink and dunk.
It's gonna be hard to win the 2-3 games against programs that can recruit so much easier in regions with so much more talent.
NIL is the great equalizer.
What Michigan has done in recruiting seems very doable with what UW should be able to come close to doing NIL wise looking at their recent recruiting and portal classes. They're in a much better location though. Not only does their state produce more talent, the states around them do as well. The TE Gooding from Idaho and Mason Graham the DT from Anaheim and Roman Wilson really feel like legit 4-star guys who might have played for Petersen. Gotta find those guys on the West Coast. It was also enviable to go through Texas' depth chart and see they barely have any starters not from that state. Wild.
Both Michigan and Washington I think benefitted from the extra covid year and that's mostly over now.
I'm not thrilled with UW recruiting and portal recruiting though. Right now the top guy looks like he's not gonna make it in end because of academis.
UW simply needs to get bigger and quicker on defense. The offense should have played better, but it wasn’t exactly a surprise given some of the clunkers they put forth throughout the season.
Gotta start ponying up the NIL on the defensive line.

Apt analogy for this game.
The kicker?
