    I said this to a few of you months ago:

    The same shit is happening everywhere, but when people aren't actually sick it gets swept under the rug...in programs and conferences that care about football.

    If you're telling me our OL is in the hospital? JFC, obviously no game. But if it's being asymptomatic, and contract tracing is fuckin your team...real football schools know how to take care of it.

    ...that just isn't UW. In retrospect, it's a big part of why I haven't dooged in more than a decade. I've seen this before, and I ain't impressed by anything they've done.

    PS - Jen, you got that Michigan game rescheduled yet...? Yeah, thought so.

    This is exactly where I come down. Covid has thrown a wrench in everyones' plans. Nobody has a blueprint for this.

    But the nimble organizations, the ones that know how to hit the curveball are thriving while the flat-footed ones are crying about the circumstances.

    Can't get recruits on campus and show off the program in person? Not ideal. But those teenage shits have to sign somewhere and apparently we couldn't throw together enough of a virtual sell-job to cling to the greatest class in WA history. Massive failure.

    Covid tracing procedures made you ineligible to play? Well shit. You had two months of knowing exactly what the conference's insane restrictions were and you have a multi-million dollar organization at your disposal with millions on the line. Figure it out. Fake the tests. Fudge the tracing. Publicly lobby the conference to delay the game. Fuck if I know. I'm not the one making seven figures to come up with solutions to these high stakes problems.

    Jimmy and Jen were caught flat-footed in a situation that required them to be nimble. 2020 has been a historical squandering.
    This is a great post.
    Yes it is great. And even if Jen and Co didn't want to fudge numbers and lie, they should have publicly lobbied to delay the game another week. Instead we roll over.
    You and @Doogles should poodcast about this.

    Yes, I've already composed the text to him about podding and am waiting to send it off around 7am (so I don't wake him up). Possible episode titles include "Husky Fans, This Bud's for You"
    If a text message wakes him up, that's his fault. 💯
