    Idk maybe spending your time spreading rumors of Pete being a Grand Wizard on twitter isn’t such a great idea.

    Also, imagine caring about this.

    Wait, Pete is in the KKK?


    Does Smalls know about this?

    Something just occurred to me. At the time Google shut down our adsense, I was told it was for all the profanity and took that explanation at face value. I spoke with the former owner of Shaggy Bevo about it and he was perplexed because he was able to have ad revenue despite all the profanity on his site. In retrospect, I think HH might have been flagged because we were too conservative for Google's agenda. I'm not saying it's certain but I think that's definitely possible.

    Imagine thinking fucking Google pushes a leftist agenda. They put a liberal veneer on shit like any company does if they think it's good for business. If they had opportunity to enslave all of mankind except their shareholders they would.

    Google doesn't pay ad money to anything their advertisers don't want to advertise. For HH, I'm guessing it's because of all the casual racism and jokes about suicide. You should see the stupid reasons they demonetize videos on Youtube for, and it's always because advertisers are scared of losing business, not because Google's boardroom is full of liberals (hint: It very much isn't).
    That’s pretty much what leftists want.

    Google owns YouTube. And YouTube has been banning conservatives and fucking with others like Crowder. That's a fact.
    It's all about the money. Corporate sponsors want to flex as much control over it as they can, and YouTube bends over backwards for them

    Guess there's no need to listen to the podcast tonight. I'll just watch GoT and ff to the "Ben Shapiro interviews Nikki Haley" podcast.

    But seriously, you're on-point. It's gross to see fast strategy coaches just chew up and spit out kids. Nothing is more inspiring than watching a whole crew of kids who got stepped over, get to do the high steppin on draft day. UW delivers on that story. That is the true fire down below.

    I am glad they are hitting the "draft" branding hard. Said this in the other thread but it amazes me with how detailed and on top of things everything about this program is, that our recruiting has taken 5 years to finally try to get messaging right and on point. Feels like Pete just doesn't like recruiting, so that is the one ad hoc thing about this program.

    But new branding centered on B4L and Come to UW to Get Drafted seems like a strategy that will work.

    #scoducks#wareagle

    I have always hated OKG. OKG is a Boise thing. It's 'we don't get our pick of the litter, so we have to do EXTREME vetting'.

    Because at Boise, you had to really make sure you were homing in on guys who would be productive past their rating, etc.

    At UW - we are recruiting basically the same kids everyone else is. How hard is it really to scout Bijan Robinson or Sav'ell? Are they OKGs?!?!

    I mean - they have superlative talent. That's why we got our shit pushed in by tOSU, Penn State and Bama. We need guys like that. It doesn't take some insane OKG-meter to figure out who we need.

    B4L is Washington branding (I believe Pete came up with it when he came to UW) and it suits their current mission much better. Instead of having the undercurrent of 'THIS IS THE HARDEST THING YOU WILL EVER DO - IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT GO TO OREGON' in our recruiting message, B4L is more 'we will take kids that can go anywhere, and do something with them nowhere else will do'.

    OKG is about Pete and Co. prizing slow strategy values and (even though they don't realize it) selecting for obedient, beta kids (yes sir, no sir!!).

    B4L is about 'hey, we can get kids like Kevin King (not that he was some extreme knucklehead or anything, but almost certainly a kid we would not recruit now) and make them into big time players and give them a real foundation in life'.

    I have ALWAYS felt the tragedy of the OKG recruiting approach was that the kids who desperately NEED B4L won't get it because you are selling it in such a way that it turns off everyone who could REALLY benefit from it. Then we end up preaching to the converted and getting a bunch of beta kids. Nothing wrong with them, but we need a MIX.

    As I said on Ep #49 - I NEED B4L!!! I DO!!!! My rich friends who grew up in Magnolia and went to O'Dea don't need it. It's fine for them... but I have ALWAYS felt that Pete's fire for college football will burn brighter and longer if he realizes he has an opportunity to change the lives of a bunch of fast strategy kids who will be used up and spit out by Oregon, USC and whomever else.

    I have always felt if Pete could really get in touch with that reality he would really prize his opportunity. And if he realized what a shit-show OKG is perception wise, and what a disaster their 'anti-hype/anti-fun' stance is, and how much it impedes his ability to CHANGE LIVES of kids who NEED it... he would drop it immediately.

    White people are really sensitive about this stuff, but it's not that complicated...

    For reasons that you will have to pay me to really get into (this is a LONG story)... fast strategy values are baked into black culture in America even if the people themselves are not fast strategy. This is the same in opposition about white people culture in America. In the south with all these meth head lunatics, I see white people talking about 'hard work' and all its virtues (even though Squirrel is not a particularly hard worker).

    I love all you white people. Shout out to white people. There is nothing wrong with white people and SOME OF MY BEST FRIENDS ARE WHITE!! I have always said, I don't want to eliminate white people from our program. I love Cade Otton and I love Josh Calvert.

    But it's more about a message that is not INTENDED to be exclusionary, but ends up being that way.

    That's why I really hope they take this rebrand seriously. I don't want to be Oregon. But just look at the team that won the Natty last year. They have fun, they are a bunch of JIVE ASSES... ...but if Pete honestly looks at the trajectory of Christian Wilkins' life and is able (PLEASE GOD) to realize that this OKG-branding, anti-fun/anti-hype approach will prevent UW from having stories like CW's, I know he would want to change it.

    I seriously hope they do.
