    again i'm pretty sure only 2011 price is being discussed and we can put to sleep any discussion that isn't centered around that version of him.

    Stan Empterman. He was only a 2 star. (Obligatory)

    Technically - a 1.67 star but he rode in on a John Deere so we round up.

    Keith Price sucked if your standard is winning conference titles or being in the national picture

    A in his prime Keith Price would have beat Penn State, ASU, and Stanford this year as well as USC last year with this team.
    More shit Doogs think for $400 Alex.

    Like Browning, Price was a paper tiger.
    Wrong. Unlike Browning, Price was never revered by anyone outside of a few pundits who were impressed with his sophomore year numbers.

    I generally hate the players so once I hate a player it's hard for me to un-hate them...

    On the current team Jordan Miller is a really pleasant surprise. Looks like an alien and got lit up by Brownshorts in the last game Jake ever played that meant something to Jake. From San Diego? Lightly recruited? It's not a recipe for success... but fuck if he doesn't look damn good.

    Princeton Fuimaono is a guy who I thought was a really good player for us. The Sark stench is skrong, but he was good.

    Really impressed by Bull Johnson all around.

    @SonnyShackelford was a lot better than I expected him to be (given that I expected a kid named Sonny from Bev Hills High to be worthless).

    I thought Elliot Silvers would be a bag of trash, but he ended up being good and that was fun to the extent that rooting for a prematurely balding black guy named Elliot can be fun.

    I was honestly shocked by how good David Richie was before he got injured. He was tearing people the fuck up. And he was a 6-5, 230 kid from fucking Kelso. Never liked the fact that we had a guy named David Richie and a guy named Richie Chambers.

    It was also pretty surprising to me how good our OLBers in 91 were. I'm not sure I expected Andy Mason and Donald Jones to do anything interesting. Turns out they were good.

    Don James. James was a convenient hire for Mike Lude since they previously worked together at Kent State.

    That said, it was clear from James's game 1 (1975) at Arizona State - a 35-12 loss in the desert -- that UW was a well-coached team, and that James was a solid game planner and game day coach.

    Race was there
