    Jennifer Cohen and Shannon Kelly have been ruling the roost for years and most of the men in the athletic department are afraid to do anything unless they know it has their approval.

    That's just what I'm hearing, don't be twisters. Lots of twisting going on.

    Just an FYI and reminder, making accusations out here about players, coaches, posters, etc will more than likely get deleted. It's been our policy since day 1. If you want to make accusations towards others, add your contact info at the bottom of the post if you want it to stay.make sure it includes your full name, email, home address, work, home and cell numbers ;-) But the anonymous accusations.......It will get deleted. More than once.......you won't be able to post for a while. Something we've done since day one. No need to discuss it here. Send a note if you have an issue. It's like the profanity .........no tolerance policy.
    Kent Griswold wouldn't last very long here I'm afraid

    Not that Kent hasn't tried to get on here and find out.

    It's a good thing @PostGameOrangeSlices already conceded our argument about most pussified state in America.
    The fucking irony (not Alannis Morisette version, the real deal) is that her and @Cohen12 have no problem taking their jobs based on PC progressive bullshit instead of merit, yet spout this shit. At least have some integrity and burn your fucking bras or something.
    Bingo.

    When I read statements like the one Cauce gave, I find it really hard to not call absolute BS on her.

    I'm all for women advancing as far as possible professionally. The same as for every person regardless of sex, race, religion, etc. But you need to advance in those positions based on MERIT and not because it sure would be nice to have a Hispanic, lesbian, female President just to PROVE to everybody how progressively liberal you are. If she's the best for the job, then so be it. But if you are making the hiring decision on anything outside of capabilities and ability to effectively network and communicate with the key stakeholders that the hire would be working with, then you're making a FS hire.

    Same thing with Cohen. If she's the best for the job, then I have no problem with it. But she's been in the UW AD for what, 18 years? If she was really that damn good at what she did you'd have to think that somebody would have looked to hire her away at this point. 18 years in essentially the same job is a big fucking red flag to me.
