    So why play the shitty player? If the coaching and development are a constant, why hamstring your lineup with an inferior player??? Makes no fucking sense.

    Wait -- do the Bama players get to play video games on their stadium scoreboard?

    What kind of practice music does Saban play?

    Does Alabama have a smoke machine?

    Nick Saban played true freshman last season. He's doing a bad job of developing players.

    He actually gets true freshmen that are elite. The saying, "Why redshirt a guy for the NFL, is oftentimes true at Alabama. Other than in very rare cases, Washington does not.

    Thank you, RoadDawg55. I thought my reference to Shaq Thompson (an exception for UW) and Herschel Walker made the point. alabama plays elite true freshmen. We play guys simply because the guys ahead of them didn't pan out. Does Potoa'e ring a bell?
    If the older guy ahead sucks, why would you bench the better player just b/c he is a true freshman?
    Jesus. Is this National Hemp Day? That's the point, buddy. Why does the guy ahead of them suck? Because he wasn't developed, or because he should've signed an LOI with Central Washington or Montana State. That's our problem.
    Why did all the guys ahead of Amari Cooper suck?
    How many more stupid questions are you going to ask?

    If you have an elite high school freshman, it doesn't necessarily mean that the guy ahead of him sucks. As time wore on, Napoleon Kaufman started ahead of Beno Bryant, but that doesn't mean that Beno Bryant sucked. It means that Napoleon Kaufman was elite. That is an example of when it's OK for a true freshman to start.

    All to often at UW, including under Sark, a true freshman will get thrust into action not because he is elite. It's because the guy ahead of him is simply a bust, while the true freshman is better, but not necessarily good enough for pac-12 play. There is a difference.

    If he's not good enough for Pac-12 play, and the player ahead of him is even worse, what fucking difference does it make?

    Derek - I think we need an IQ test for membership eligibility.

    I said: "...the guy ahead of him is simply a bust, while the true freshman is better, but not necessarily good enough for pac-12 play." In other words, a true freshman can still be better than the waste-of-space upperclassman, but not necessarily ready to compete at the pac-12 level.

    Now I need a drink.

    Funny, since you'd be the first one out.
