My one issue with Hugh Millen
But I do have one issue with him that has disappointed me greatly.
For years and years he was one of the most vocal opponents I've ever heard about Division I/BCS opponents not scheduling cupcakes in order to get easy victories. Sometimes he would state his case almost to the point of anger. He said it was cowardly and cheapened the game of football, and he always said how proud he was that Washington never stooped to that type of thing. And I agreed 100%.
But when UW first announced its scheduling of Eastern Washington, with more cupcakes like Portland State and Idaho State on the horizon, Hugh did an immediate 180 and said how the idea had merit and it was a good thing for the Huskies to do since virtually everyone else was doing it.
It was extremely disappointing. And now we have a watered down schedule tailor-made to take as much pressure off Sark as possible... Instead of striving for real greatness.

Hugh is just another typical paid KJR shill.
Also, I'm not at all surprised that you have his back on the QB racism. -

I just extrapolated the rest for you.

I will try and respond before the thread veers of course. The EWU, Portland St, etc are now what the San Jose St, Pacific, Toledo, etc of the world once where before the 100 scholarship limits. Right now 180 kids are pushed down because of the limits on the Pac 12 teams, so the talent level has been spread throughout the mid majors, forcing more talented players to play into the sub division.
The majority of Husky schedules have included a cupcake.
And it is more about keeping up with the Jones' than protecting Sark.
Pure and simple it has to do with the amount of $$$ floating around college football. -

I don't go in for most of the Hugh bashing that goes on around here. I like and respect him.

And as I've said before, I haven't listened to KJR in something like two years. But when I told people around me that I was writing a book to defend the players vs. Tyrone and Emmert, a lot of people like Kim ran and hid. Hugh stepped up and helped me. -
Wow. Vehemently disagree. If UW's OOC sched used to follow an A-B-C formula (or A-A-C in some years), this year's is B-C-F. Next year's is C-D-F-F.IrishDawg22 said:I will try and respond before the thread veers of course.

Bullshit. There a lot more FBS/I-A schools now than there were in 1983.IrishDawg22 said:I will try and respond before the thread veers of course.

Were weren't talking about the SOS? I was pointing out the back in the day, teams like San Jose St, Toledo, Pacific (RIP) were getting some of the kids that are no forced down to sub division because of scholarship limits.TTJ said:

As for next year's SOS, I do AGREE it is a joke. -
The thing that pisses me off is you can keep an easy schedule without having to schedule FCS schools. Why couldn't they have scheduled UNLV, New Mexico, Idaho, Colorado St, Wyoming.
Regarding Hugh, his problem is his love for Locker at all costs. Forces him to downgrade every other QB in the world.
