Our program would die without Jack Doogs. It would be basically Stanford where very few care.
I bet that is true for most schools.
We need Jack Doogs no doubt. But our alumni base cares a heck of a lot more than Stanford's.
Agree, but the higher heights the school reaches academically, the diehard alumni drops. Football is a blue collar game. Not saying that smart people don’t like football, but sports in general are followed by people with lower IQ’s.
The in State kid that grew up watching Husky Football and has a 2.8 - 3.4gpa is not getting in anymore. When my dad went to UW in the late 70’s, that’s what the majority of his frat brothers probably were.
UW wants the out of state and foreign money. The kids (specifically makes) going to UW now aren’t like the ones that went from 1970-2000.
The students in the end zone hurts too because it lessens the experience for students. UW has done a horrible job of doing the little things that create fans for life from their student base.
It's sad and I question how sustainable this model is for UW over the long haul. We need more 3.2 HS GPA dumbs like me going to UW.
@creepycoug how do they feel about the Jack Canes down there in the Caribbean?
A lot of Husky fans were born into it or picked it up as kids long before a college choice. That's what drives Cuog crazy. No kid grows up a Cuog fan. First you have to be rejected by UW and attend WSU
I'm a jack Husky who did drive by at UW and helped Charles Jackson and Wayne Moses stay eligible.
This is true. I didn't get my Husky Hatred behind Kane Hall at the hands of Yella and all his varsity buddies. I got it vis a vis a rejection letter than made me go to Cuog!!!!!!!!!!
We? have an entirely different set of problems down in Miami; and even though Miami is statistically harder to get into than UW, that's not the real problem.
Michigan has been an elite university for a longer period of time than Washington, and is still markedly more difficult to get into. And they fill that mother fucking stadium up every Saturday, rain

What else is there to do in Ann Arbor aside from rocking khaki pants?

Sure.gif.
But both Ann Arbor and Madison are surprisingly good small cities with plenty to do. They are islands in a sea of shit.
There's a plenty to do if you don't care about football. Not as much as in Miami or So Cal, but it's still there if you don't want to watch sports.
The point is that Michigan is a school with a strong sports culture that values football. The fact that it's an elite university has done little to change that.

Weren’t you out of state? Your chances of getting in are a little better if that’s the case.
It is unfortunate. Those kids should be able to go to a State school. They would do fine. 3.2 while playing sports or having outside activities are relatively intelligent people that aren’t obsessed with their grades.

I was out of state. Only had to meet in-state criteria, however, for being a legacy. I was on the bubble though so row boat used on of their spots to make it hunret that I'd get in.

I wouldn't have guessed it, but you are right the Miamuh is statistically harder to get accepted to @creepycoug and they are even ranked higher the UW in USNWR. So why is their endowment then so pidally ass (it's smaller than CUOG ).
Kind of a shame I like herby. But i couldn't care less. I don't follow husky sports for the administration or media to give me kudos I follow it because it's awesome
Would have been a jack doog and I guess was from 18-20 until I transferred in. Stupid take from Herb. When half your family went to the school I guess you still aren't a valid fan until you yourself do.
Grew up wanting nothing else but to play football for the Huskies. Then I just... stopped growing up. So that wasn't in the cards. Right about when I figured this out, my dick started doing all the thinking, and it wasn't very good at it. Went to Western, but always been a Husky fan. Big fan of the hospital there, too, as they did some very good things for my family when I was growing up.

Endowment is a funny thing. Some great schools have big endowments and some don't. Washington has a relatively low endowment relative to the size of operation and relative to its status in the research university category. Compare/contrast with Texas A&M, whose endowment is a multiple of Washington's.
OTOH, elite academis and high endowment resources do tend to correlate. I would say where you have average to low endowment and high academis you have a outlier. It happens, just not that often.
Miami just became popular for some reason, and it's in a high population state and kids OOS wanted to go to Souwf Beach. It all added up to a supply/demand dynamic that led to more selective admissions. But of course, Miami is not the research university that Washington is.
This is exactly what he feared. We think Miami is a football factory
Ha ha Todd
Although b4 we? thought of it as a football factory we?, and everybody else, thought of it as "Sun Tan U" and the place Jewish parents sent their retarded kids who couldn't get into real universities in the northeast. Kind of like the east coast USC.
Foote was, by far, the biggest arrogant POS egghead administrator that ever walked the earth. Can you imagine being in a room with that dumb fuck arguing with Jimmy Mother Fucking Johnson? Lolz. Imagine how emasculating it was for Foote to have to watch Jimmy move on and rule the NFL. Those two men fucking HATED each other, as you can well imagine.
JJ was the best at what he did; Foote was just another wishful thinking academic egg head who nobody remembers.

I always thought they were the anuses (ani?) of each state. Lots to do in both those states as far away from those towns

Huh? Ann Arbor and Madison? You are literally the first person I've ever heard make that observation. They're both fantastic college towns/cities. This isn't even close to being accurate.

Chinned for proper spelling of *souwf. My work here is done.
