Do you think this just happens by accident?

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.

The problem with your analysis here is that Sark was not highly thought of back in 2008 and Lake was a lazy hire.
UW is 2 for 4 on great hires (Pete & Fats) and in LIPO mode for number 5.

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.

NW competitiveness is passive aggressive behavior.

Come on now, @creepycoug we need Blue Blooded, royalty in the sport. Without it there's just anarchy and chaos. It's the guillotine in the Place de la Concorde!
It's not like Alabama, Ohio State, USC and ND didn't earn their spots on Mt Rushmore meritocratically. They've won NTs over many different eras in the sport across decades.
I'm not saying this needs to be absolute monarchy - it could be of a limited, constitutional variety. If Miamuh wins it all this year, we can start negotiations to remove the Papists from Rushmore and add the Convicts. 6 NTs in 42 years would be hard to ignore.

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

There's noting more pathetic that overly competitive sports ball parents with JAG fucking kids. Unless your kid has some kinda rare human body type/skill set for said sport, chill the fuck out weirdos.
Am I right @creepycoug or am I right?

Hence, why we're so good at internet tuff guy, keyboard warriors!

Different kinda competitiveness and attitude.

2.5/5 is better than 95% of other schools
As far as I know you've touched more grass than most but this reeks of 4chan. You realize UW dominates every team in the Midwest that isn't a blue blood. You think Purdue has a TUFFER mentality? What are we doing
