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

If you knew in early December that Taylor Rapp was going to sit out the Rose Bowl, would it have made you less inclined to travel to Pasadena?

    No, rose bowl is rose bowl to me but I live in the area so it's easy to say.

    It wasn’t so much he sat out, it was the effect his absence had on the outcome of the game that makes his decision hard to swallow.

    The coverup makes sense. Ostensibly the guise of injury reduces precedent for future players sitting out. It attempted to confuse tOSU (didn’t work)

    He was selfish and so am I (we?)

    After OSU scored just before half I saw Pete approach Rapp. A conversation ensued. I wouldn’t say heated but it was clear Pete had something on his mind. Rapp walked way. I’m guessing Pete, unhappy over the passing touchdown, asked Rapp to play or maybe to fuck off.

    It’s telling—to me anyway— Rapp came out in the second half in street clothes.

    I care and am not over it.

    Say it to his face!

    For real.

    I would never let any player, coach, athletic director, or PAC 12 commissioner’s decisions deprive me of the opportunity of going to cheer on my team in one of the greatest events in all of sports.



    And I was also promised free booze by the TSIO boys soooooo...

    So, now we gonna hear the “I got so drunk I can’t remember anything” excuse?
    Shhhhhh....

    But I'm done attending games until I see one big win on TV
    I made this decision after watching the Auburn debacle.

    Nope. While my memory is a little fuzzy, I remember most of what happened on New Years Day.

    Everything I don’t was probably captured on someone’s camera phone and posted to YouTube.

    I am just glad he had the decency to stfu and not give a speech like Royce freeman

    Freeman was definitely embarrassing.

    No one gave a shit when nkeal sat out and he didn't try to make it about him.

    I get this. I feel the opposite now. I let Browning suck a great deal of joy out of Huskies Football. Now that he's gone, I can reinvest. I'll go to the next 3-4 bowls or playoffs, even an away hawt ticket again.*








    *I hope this ages well

    I talked to @Baseman at the tailgate. He's right, you don't want to see him angry.

    He also won the prize for best t-shirt.

    I missed that whole thing (didnt know he was in street clothes in 2nd half either)

    Was that exchange on TV or did you have to be there to see it?

    I was in the stands and looked to the sideline after OSU scored the touchdown just before half. Pete’s body language and Rapp’s reaction—walking away—told me all I needed to know.

    For any who think Rapp’s absence didn’t hurt, JoJo McIntosh was our single high safety on the TD pass.

    Rapp’s absence hurt the team far more than Browning’s play. Except for missing the open receiver just before half, Browning played well enough not to lose. Two of his incompletions were deliberate throw aways. I saw him take a sack, stepping up in the pocket, with nobody open. Last year he would have tucked and rolled, taking a huge loss or fumbling the ball away.

    Going forward Eason has the same WRs and the team, until it doesn’t, still runs the same offense.

    I sat behind the bench at California. This team had issues. Don't know what they were but they were listless and had bad body language then the whole thing with Jake and the phone and Haener

    I said at the time that some teams just have bad chemistry or leadership

    They also ran the ball relentlessly straight up the gut in the first half where Rapp clearly would have had an impacted stuffing some of those plays.

    Add in the 2 TD passes in his zone, and there you go.

    He fucked his Team mates, his school, and the fans.

    You can't win the Rose bowl against urban Meyer by just barely playing well enough to lose.
