    Ohio State beat us out for Egbuka because they are better. Boner and Gregory aren’t the reason.

    Sure, fire them, but what we really need to do is develop and win because we have never signed top 5 classes like Ohio State does every year.

    Fuck recruiting. Quit losing two games every season against shitty teams like Cal and Stanford. Maybe win a couple big games. Not all, just some. Do that and recruiting improves.

    This. We have the fucking 41 plus fucking 4/5 stars now. Shut the fuck up about recruiting and fucking win. Beating Ohio State in the Rose Bowl would have done wonders for our brand.
    I blame rapp.

    Phil Knight didn't care about football either. Recruiting boosters is a talent not many can do.
    Phil Knight has cared about football since 1995, which is still fairly early considering the sport had only been invented the year prior.

    Phil knight may not be a rag rah football guy ... but he's an oregon guy at every level.

    Motivation, reputation and money/support with regards to facilities etc and nike industry backing.

    Washington doesn't really have that apart from a decent Adidas deal and some middling pnw reputation for academics and Bruce lee.

    Money has never been an issue in the athletic dept at uw compared to other schools on the west coast. Historically we have had no problem with facilities or paying our coaches more than other teams out west.

    Apathy and the pussification of the city and fan base is real though. Money could be an issue the further we go down the road.

    I don’t buy the “pussification of the city” part when you look at the Seahawk fanbase, which exploded during the Huskies “lost decade” of ‘04-‘14.

    It’s just a lost opportunity and it falls squarely on the AD.
