Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

So an OKG pussed out and skipped the Rose Bowl to avoid injury

Pete wants guys from good families that make prudent decisions, and follow the advice of their elders... and coaches.

Pete doesn't take risks on guys with questionable decision making, or guys with poor grades, or guys from risky families. Don James would have taken those guys, if they were athletes and winners, but not Pete.

Don James would take them, and make them into a team.

Pete doesn't want to work that hard. He only wants the guys that are model citizens. Prudent decision makers. Guys that keep their emotion under check.

Should we really be surprised that a prudent decision maker chose to avoid the risk of playing in the Rose Bowl? He looked at the risk and reward. He made the prudent choice. He made an OKG choice.

    Of course it’s bothering people. It feels like that’s a game we could’ve/should’ve won. Everybody’s pissed or dejected. We are Husky fans it’s what we know.

    Still a pressing take though.

    I don’t care if a guy sits out a bowl game outside of the playoff. The college football playoff has made all other bowls, including the Major bowl games when the games are not in the current playoff year rotation utterly worthless. Make the playoff or GTFO.

    Just don't lie TO OUR FACES about why you couldn't play. That's my gripe. Take the criticism like a man.
    Agree

    People who understand the game and the business, appreciate the honesty. These people also understand and support the decision.

    I also don’t mind these guys sitting out also being able to make the trip. The bowl game is a “reward” for the regular season, which the player contributed to. So be adults and let the kid do all the fun stuff and let him sit if he wants.

    Is the only source for this still just second hand story from 2 retired gladiator legends who got liquored up in front of some wide-eyed fans and talked about how tough you had to be back in their day? And a mom who may have just been repeating that?
    I heard he martyrd himself to take the heat off Browning. Real OKG.
