    Once again we're hit with stunners that would, at best, get you laughed out of the room in any other profession. But UW, in all its infinite wisdom, continues to redefine AD incompetency.

    The degree in which we're* fucked if Petersen doesn't work out... I shudder to think.

    I imagine it'd all be highly amusing to someone with no emotional ties to the school. 15 straight years of being mathematically eliminated from P12 contention by fucking November hasn't made the sting lessen at all.

    lest we forget our dominance in the NCAA tournament... oh, wait.

    This language is very Trump like. It's beyond hateful and racist. Many athletes work hard, coming from humble beginnings, to get into the University of Washington. I imagine accepting their scholarship is one of the best days of their lives. Knowing that they now have the power to break the cycle, not just of their family but of their ancestors. Then they arrive at UW only to have this privileged white woman throw in their faces that they are once again on welfare and that they hurting the university.

    I find it repulsive would say these things. I know it's popular nowadays to jump on the hate train. To be un pc. Donald Trump made it cool. But I thought at the University of Washington we didn't put minorities in the flat beds of our pick up trucks.

    Jen Cohen should be fired immediately.

    @allpurpleallgold: Dude. You're way overboard. Nothing Cohen said went anywhere near Trump territory, in statement or effect. Your accusation is far more racist, presumptuous, erroneous and hateful than anything Cohen said or meant. She was clearly talking about the increasing costs of living for the supported, scholarship athletes. She wasn't saying, or alluding to anyone being on "welfare" in the traditional sense.

    Woodward got out in time, didn't he?

    Slimy fuck. Just like Sark.
    Emmert too.
