    The lack of incremental progress really hurt both of them. Didn't do it the right way

    i strongly believe that my knowledge gained playing NBA jam on Sega Genesis would allow me to draw up a better in-bounds play than anything Romar has ever attempted in his life.

    Romar is Mike Bellotti, Sure they both took the program to new highs but they both fail(ed) to fully utilize their talent, win big games, and were/are just good enough that its hard to fire them...

    Oregon has balls so they fired Mike and went on to be a national power and didnt just sit content with a decent coach, UWs AD is filled with pussies, you know the rest...

    Romar will be UWs coach until Romar decides he is done

    I've been saying that shit for two years. Welcome on the bandwagon.

    Bellotti actually won a Fiesta Bowl and popped off. That's better than anything Romar has done.

    This is why I am jealous of Oregon. When was the last time they made a bad move? RoboDuck?

    Letting Todd Doxey go tubing didn't work out so well.

    You wanted Doxey to drown just so you could say you were right

    Those looking for the Huskies' director of athletics to rebuke Romar - or at least fire a warning shot at the coach following a second consecutive season out of the NCAA tournament -- have the wrong AD.

    Duh.

    The message sent is that there is very little expectation of winning.

    You know, when I was researching Bow Down to Willingham, I recall finding a quote from Todd Turner saying that he tuned out criticism of losing football games when he heard that Willingham had showed up unexpectedly at a classroom as a way to send a signal to some of his players. Turner said it put a smile on his face. It read very similar to this.

    Romar is a mediocre x's and o's guy, but I don't want him fired. Despite two straight NIT appearances, he did win a Pac 12 title last year. We have one of the better program's in the Pac 12.

    UW never has been, and never will be a basketball power. In fact, UCLA and to Arizona have been the only credible basketball schools in the conference. Sure, teams have made a run here and there, but lets face it, championship basketball in the Northwest just isn't happened. And I am including Gonzaga in that group. It's been close to 15 years since Gonzaga has made it to the elite 8. 4 times the made it to the sweet 16. Real basketball schools laugh at that.

    Romar does about the best any coach UW can get would do. No coach who is capable of building a championship level program would ever be coaching at UW. Simple fact. Case closed.

    Having the sixth best program in the conference after UCLA, Arizona, Colorado, Cal, and Oregon is not special.

    Oregon finished ahead of UW one year, therefore they have a better hoops program?

    For Jake's sake man, let it play out or something.

    Oregon has a better arena, a better coach, and ownership that actually cares.
