    Jimmy mentioned playing freshmen. I hope the rest of the country doesn’t catch wind of this revolutionary concept. Personally I think its a horrible idea.

    But really, folks says that Peterman preferred to go with more veteran players, yet give jimmy credit for playing freshman. I think the reality is that position coaches normally decide the player rotation. And some of those position coaches may still be with the team. So we will see.

    On another note I don’t see much mention of the dawg pound over here. A bit odd, but then again most of the content looks like it came the uw athletic department. Lots of leg humping going on over there.

    The defense has never had trouble playing freshmen since Petersen came to UW. Most units on the team haven't. It's really just been the receivers. I think the OC and receivers coach have been making the final decisions, but they've been setting the rotation according to Petersen's wishes instead of going with the most talented players.

    Pete was an offensive coach so it's reasonable to assume he had more control on the offensive side of the ball. That's speculation but informed speculation.

    The defense never had any issues playing the kids.

    Tryon is already a day-two pick, at worst. I won't be shocked if he sneaks into round one. The NFL cares much more about ceiling than about collegiate productivity.

    Fish and Chips bet at Ivar’s says Tryon doesn’t get drafted
    I know you are being facetious but I thought they were going tits up?
    That place has gone downhill since old man Hagland sold the couch.

    Also, I think Kidd Valley is selling the couch. Ivar’s owned Kidd Valley.

    Junior Adams didn't want, and knew he wouldn't benefit from, playing Fuller and Bachellia as the 1 and 2 receivers.

    It was Pete's equation for playing time.

    There is some leg humping about Lake being more serious about winning. Pete was all about winning. The whole point was to win big, but do it his way.

    Whatevergirl.gif. Most here are excited we are going to play and are dooging like any other year. We’ll find out soon if Lake can coach.
    He can't.

    The odds that a guy who fucked up the OC hire as badly as Jimmy Lake did, who chose to retain Bob Gregory, whose entire recruiting strategy of 'wait to do any recruiting till we can get the kids on campus again' was an ill-advised, unmitigated fucking disaster, the guy who can't close recruits to save his life, the guy whose filled his staff with SIX guys that are massive recruiting liabilities, the guy who's getting his shit pushed in by Oregon daily.... The odds that THAT guy will show up next month and suddenly by an intelligent, organized, instinctive, detail-oriented, respected, competent head coach is practically zero. It's like watching a dude stall his car six times, take 45 minutes to parallel park it, then claim that he could still win the Indy 500... we just need to see him race!

    Jimmy's gonna get a minimum of three years, no matter how bad it gets, which is just enough time for him to waste all the freshman and sophomore talent we have in the program right now. We? had our shot with Pete... but Pete decided he'd rather walk away than make changes to his fucked-up offensive philosophy. That was the only chance Washington had to be legitimate... for Pete to stay, but hand over the reigns offensively to someone else... but he wouldn't do it. And in three years, we'll be back Gilby/Ty kind of bad.
