Isaiah Stanback did his research

RaceBannon

Heard him on KIRO. They asked him about the video that posted here and wondered if he had got any answers

Well he did. It turns out that the upper campus and the administration want to be academis elites not a football school.

@thechatch level of inside information right here folks

10.95 please

What video

thechatch

I don’t charge anything

RaceBannon

The video that was posted here. I thought that was clear

I thought college was about preparing the youth to be PROFESSIONALS. Academis shouldn’t matter on a pro team, unless you maybe spent your entire career in academia and care too much what other nerds think.

It's possible to walk and chew gum at the same time. A strong football team at UW engages the community more and increases donations to the University (along with applications). There really isn't a downside as long as an excellent university doesn't let either academics or athletics to wither on the vine.

This. If you think & care about academia, like I do, then support the kids. UW has always done better than most in this regard. I recall Russell White’s recruitment. He was Prop-48 in the 80s, best RB in CA. I think he was undiagnosed dyslexic until he got to Berkeley. Crazy. You tell me college football didn’t have a positive impact on him and society in general.

The flip side is Ole Miss in the Blind Side. All those DBs and WRs who aren’t pro material just hop in their cars and go home when their eligibility runs out. No serious educational support. I don’t want UW to ever be that. Ever.

Sounds like we'll be a good fit to the B1G where only UM and tOSU care about football

haie

Yeah but what does that even mean?

We broke away from Cal and joined the real conference.

Sure we aren't going to recruit or let a kid transfer in that can barely read or write or has a nose like Colt Lyerla.

Would Michigan take that same kid?

What examples did Stanback give? His video sounded like a bunch of the same fan speculation as you'd read here

Any way for us to listen to the KIRO clip?

David Woods: "UW has done enough to prove that they're serious."

Also Davis Woods: "Alabama is unprecedented levels of entitled. DeBoer is not a fit. Fired on 4 years (paraphrasing)"

I agree. It’s a perception thing. Old bias dies hard.

Hasn't this always been everyone's take? But weren't we about to give $10 million plus to a coach and just paid a shit ton to the next guy all things considered?

David Woods actually does respect us

Nothing is stopping them from being both

RaceBannon

The point is that we've been saying this since 1992

Cauce does seem different. Of course you can do both.

Tell the rotting corpse of Gerberding that

That's AD money. The question has always been upper campus support.

I don't think any of us really know what that relationship looks like - even Stanback was alluding to "need to put our finger on it" because he doesn't know what the exact issue is. It's vaguely cultural and bureaucratic, but what exactly separates our university leadership from, say, Alabama's? I'm sure there's a difference, but not many people are in a position to actually articulate what that is.

Step 1: Win the Natty.

Step 2: Rename Gerberding Hall to AMC Football Pres Hall

Stanback was talking out of his ass there. Losing Sark was a blessing. Losing Deboer was sort of a surprise. Petersen retired. Otherwise, we haven’t lost anything. Gilbertson (and Willingham) should have never been hired.

UW has only lost 2 coaches to other teams in forever. And one was a blessing.
