Deserves Owen -- Pete betrayed by his Model OKG
Players sitting out bowl threads made me remember that Pete asked Taylor Rapp at halftime of the Rose bowl to play. If he could go, the team needed him. Rapp, of course, said no. Fast forward to last week, Pete said he realized the week of the Rose Bowl was when he lost that loving feeling.
Facing 0-3 for the third consecutive year against a Blue Blood in a Bowl, Rapp's, "Nah" must have been the death blow. It's no Dooglish leap with Rapp playing, UW doesn't give up those two passing TDs.
Rapp was an OKG, "all about football, all about the team" Doogs say so. Pete's model poster boy stabbed him in the gut. It was the ultimate betrayal, the crowning FU, that convinced Pete it was time to take it to the house.

But this was the fucking Rose Bowl. Fuck Rapp
More than ever I'm convinced Rapp decision not to play in the Rose Bowl soured Pete on CFB and led him to step down. Rapp had notified the coaches days before the game he wasn't going to play, concurrent with Pete deciding he'd lost the fire to coach. McKinney, Rapp's replacement, gave up two TDs, and has hardly played this year. That should tell you something.
Tray Adams has decided the meaningless Senior Bowl means more than helping his own team. What a fag. Watching Eason without his superstar LT protecting him, choosing between the surely to be double teamed Bynum, and Fuller and Baciella will be special.
Since Pete took over, he's never dropped a recruit before signing day for someone better, he's never suddenly seniored a player except for a violation of team rules, and to the detriment of the record, played shitty upperclassmen who've put in their time.
Fuck it. If that's how it is, I hope Jimmy changes changes things. Better recruit available? Sorry. If you suck, you don't play. If you really suck and we need a roster spot, thanks for everything. Peace out.
Watch the millennials squeal if and when he does. They want their cake and want to eat it, too.
