    Before I was purged from Softy's page, my early comments were all about Romar. Were I still on the page, I don't think I'd even be commenting since their devout commitment to Romar has made me not THINK or CARE about the program.

    Cohen will come out at the end of the year, regardless of the outcome, and say how much promise the team showed, how young they were, the recruits, and that UW is lucky to have Romar.

    Unless the program is losing the AD money, they won't dump him since he has the occasional banner year and they market the crap out of the team enough to get stupid people interested reach racial diversity of coaches by keeping our black coach

    Chuck Powell is the only one in Seattle questioning Romar. He's been saying all week that there's no excuse for not making the tournament with this king of talent. I was actually enjoying listening to him the other day. At commercial, I switched to 710 and literally right as I switched, I heard:

    "Lorenzo Romar deserves to be the head coach at UW as long as he wants. I don't care what his record is".
    -Danny O'Neil

    Chuck isn't bad. He's way better than Jerry and fucking Elise, or Softy four or five years ago for that matter. I'm glad someone has the guts to call out Romar.

    Doog Fain constantly points to the 11th place prediction...fucking apologist.

    Washington is the big program north of L.A. and west of Big 10 cuntry. Fuck Oregon. They're going down the drain and Phil will die anyway.

    Spare me the "Who can you get who is better?" bullshit. It's a major school. No, it's not Kansas, Kentucky, UNC, Syracuse etc., but there's no reason it can't be a Florida, Texas, or Ohio State. Those schools are good in both sports. Maybe if a great AD was hired or something....

    I'm planning on a TLDR post about it when I'm sober.

    But my least favorite argument is UW has never been traditionally good in basketball. Who gives a fuck? All the money and support and talent rich backyard are there to succeed at very high level.

    It's like UW would feel bad if they won because that means others would lose and they will feel bad. So we accept just good enough and shake hands smiling after another loss.

    "Good game, good game, good game, way to post up, good game, nice handle, good game, good game, good job Jabari, good game, good game, good luck in the tourney coach heck of a squad you got there"

    Fucking losers!

    Whether they make tourney or not makes no difference to Danny in his support of Romar.

    Wyman: I support Romar because he's such a good guy.
    -----

    I don't have anything against Romar but how about some standards?

    Ironic considering Danny was the only person in the local media to speak out against Sark in 2013.

    Wyman? Guy should be doing cialis ads. He's awful and knows nothing beyond his own football career.

    I don't think anyone other than Puppy has said he has been amazing.

    He's two years in. I'm willing to see what happens in the next two years. If it's more Spleen of Dallas and Cactus Bowls and a 14-12 record, by all means, he needs to be fired.

    Romar has had almost 14. That's a large body of work unless we're using the Rich Brooks scale.

    Romar has done some great things. I appreciate what he did in the first four or five years and all UW fans should. He has also squandered some of the talent. It's a what have you done for me lately business, and he hasn't made a tournament in five years.

    Only at UW can an argument be made that someone should keep their job because "he's a nice guy." If it were any other school saying this I'd be laughing maniacally at how stupid it sounded. Any argument to defend Romar is so far removed from any reasonable, logical frame of reference it is borderline unconscionable.

    "Oh but UW sucked before Romar got there"

    1. A precedent of mediocrity is no reason to keep a coach who sustains said mediocrity around. This is stupid.

    2. Let's not forget that Romar's tenure has coincided with Seattle's rise as ONE OF THE BEST H.S. TALENT POOLS IN THE NATION. Fuck o' dear. Pitino with the talent UW had the last 13+ years would have multiple final fours. Imagine Lute. Or even Sean Miller.

    I don't even have the heart to address the other pro-RomarFS arguments. I can feel my IQ dropping even thinking about it.
