i disagree with pretty much everything hereStrongArmCobra said:
It's not a loser mentality. It's about being realistic. UW in the playoffs means UW gets slaughtered again on national TV. You say you would rather have "a chance to compete for the real title" and that's the problem. UW can't compete at that level yet. Not with Brownsocks and these JAG receivers and JAG inside backers and probably JAG pass rushers.Doogles said:
What a loser. This is what happens when you value TBSing over the games on the field.StrongArmCobra said:Since when is winning a Rose Bowl a participation ribbon? Forget just the Petersen era. UW as a program hasn't won a big bowl game in fucking 18 years. Only one team wins the national title and it ain't going to be UW. "A shot at the playoffs" means absolutely fucking nothing when your team is not ready to compete at that level yet and only further damages the brand and national perception of the program by getting cock slapped by some BBC having, zero-fuck giving Bama thugs. For the first time in my life I would like to see UW finish the season with a big bowl win against a big-time opponent and use the glory of that big win to bring in a monster 2020 recruiting class.
Being a team to make the playoffs 2/3 years says a lot more than being a one hit wonder.
Of course we'll take a Rose Bowl if that's what the season presents, but it won't be better than getting to the only thing that matters In this era, a chance to compete for the real title.
For example, If you're a boxing coach do you want your fighter to accept a title shot against Mike Tyson in his prime before he's anywhere near ready to fight that dude. No, because he's gonna get killed and fuck up his confidence.
Another example, USC post Rose Bowl victory against Penn State was on fire. National perception of them increased massively, the SC hype train started again, and recruits took notice and wanted to jump on board including our #1 recruit at the time. Compare that to SC after getting stomped by Notre Dame and Ohio State. Their perception is down and recruits are wondering if Helton is the right guy? Will he be there for four more years? Can he develop players and put them in the league? A guy you would normally expect to be an SC lock (Faatui Tuitele) eliminates them early in his process. Sama Paama commits to UW before even visiting SC.
Basically, winning big bowl games against quality national opponents is GOOD. Getting you're ass whooped in big bowl games against national opponents is BAD. UW is not winning a Playoff game and they certainly aren't winning the national title so making the Playoffs only adds another loss to their record (probably an ugly, blowout loss) and hurts the program brand, perception, and recruiting. On top of that the players won't be confident playing against quality national opponents until they get some wins against them. The Penn State game they were a bunch of shrivel dicks again. Penn State looked way more confident and relaxed than UW.
UW needs to take a step forward this season. That means winning the conference title again and winning the Rose Bowl against a tough national opponent like Michigan or Penn State. Losing their bowl game is not a step forward. It's more of the same and opposing coaches will be telling recruits "UW can't win the big game, they've plateaued, they're as good as they're gonna get, come here and win a national title, etc". For fuck sakes, Petersen has zero impressive bowl wins at UW. He needs one on his resume.
first, USC will always get massive offseason hype. this is particularly true if they win a bowl game. this is because they are USC. same shit happens for ND. it is fallacious to think UW would sniff 1/50 of that kind of offseason bukkake hype, even if we beat a team like wisconsin 58-7 in the fiesta bowl.
second, it's pretty doogish to entertain the idea of winning offseason hype over a chance to win a fucking national championship, however slim.
third, who gives a shit about P12 narratives. are you sven all of the sudden or what. win.
fourth, we have enough offensive talent to score 17-24 points on any of these teams not named bama. jsfs might very well vomit over himself, of course, but i disagree the talent isn't there.
fifth, there is no better momentum than 2 straight CFP final fours. a loss again in the 1st game would even still likely yield more offseason natty capital than a fiesta bowl win. how many teams can say they've been back to back. come on.
sixth, o'doyle rules! -

We are all animals, as much as we like to think we have evolved and all that bullshit. This fast/slow strategy provides a nice frame of analyzing a kids behavior and how he might react to how certain schools recruit him. So to translate to something you would understand - we are looking for regression toward the mean in behavior in terms of how a kid would behave depending on what kind of a socioeconomic background he comes from.RoadDawg55 said:

Yup. And the posts about black kids and absent/present fathers, what racist gibberish this shithole is.PostGameOrangeSlices said:The TBS sycophants wonder why none of the OG HHBs take them seriously.
This time last year, these retards wanted his head on a pike. Now he is the 2nd best recruiter on the time.
Nevermind what he did with Qualls, Vea, Gaines. You know, actual results.
And I don't believe recruits care that much about message boards, but the shit about their skin and living situations does make posters look stupid and does nothing to help UW. -

Does FSU have a decent business school?!
Did Willie get the Saturday Night Live thing from Oregon?
"They’re definitely a contender all the way through," Smalls said.
"They won’t drop out. This is the most love I’ve got on any of these trips. They really showed that I’m a priority for them. I see that. Real recognize real. I recognized it here. The vibe, nothing’s like this. Nothing’s touching this vibe so hopefully they have some good seasons."
I'm too old for this recrootin' shit. Sheesh. -
The Southeast still loves football the way UW once did almost alone out here
I can only imagine comparing a trip to Seattle to Clemson or FSU or Bama
We fucked -
A top 5 prospect in the entire class is a priority for them huh? chinteresting.
-
Joey Thomas accompanying him on a visit to FSU (a school with bag men) but not doing so when he visits anywhere else. Hmmmmm. Seen this movie before (Togiai). Until this kid commits to UW he's not coming here and it has nothing to do with recruiting strategy. Money talks and bullshit walks. Thomas gonna cash in on him. Probably got paid for Tre'Shaun's services and is looking to double up.
-
He was gone as soon as we learned he was staying at Garfield and would be under Wormtongue's influence another year.
-
It's simple. If UW makes the playoffs Smalls is coming here. If they don't then it's still 50-50. The parents are big in this one.

I like tough talk like "real recognize real"
That's just some fluffer bullshit insecure phonies say to each other.
"Real" is OKG built for life shit.
Don't doubt he's going to be a monster, but don't be distracted by the pom poms and pretend it's "real".
UW needs Benning Potoae to ball out this year. Minus Kikaha this staff has produced shit on the edge. It would be nice to point to a local success story down the home stretch. -
A picture of Sincerity -
Never trust a man that takes a pic with a sucker in his mouth
-
If I’m an FSU fan, is this coaching staff an all time low point? #ISAFNRC
-
Eh, what can you do.
Part of being a teenager is tryin to appear to be more mature than you really are.
Just like Willie with a lollipop in his mouth. -
Recruits never say that the coaches were terrible, the campus was lame, and the visit was boring. Recruits don't want to burn bridges. And they're polite, unlike me and the rest of the poasters here.Doogles said:I like tough talk like "real recognize real"

Sa'Vell Smalls has been handling his recruitment in the manner that UW coaches would themselves suggest: do your due diligence on other schools and consider the whole picture (football, academics, post-grad career).
He's the epitome of OKG. Seriously. He's the living, breathing OKG ideal---works his ass off, cares about school, handles his business, loves football, is a great teammate. I hope he picks the UW, but I wouldn't be shocked if he didn't. I would be shocked, though, if he picked FSU, Oregon, or some school like that.

and yet, the meltdown here when he picks Stanfurd will still be so really real.AtomicDawg said:

I just want to say to Joey Thomas to fuck off

While that's all true, it's really easy for a recruit to ya know, get sold, on the idea that Oregon, FSU, or whatever clown program is the anti-OKG. Could 100% see him ending up at FSU.Squirt said:
