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.
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"
Just wait till Jenn starts calling us "Pod".
SECDWAG's lasting contribution to the HCH lexicon...
In his approximately 150 emails to me, he often called me "bud"
Have SECDAWG and Jenn Cohen ever been seen in the same room?

Would this explain the drunken, late-night spamming of our boards? Hmmmm.
Thank you for reaching out and sharing your feelings about our current situation. I won’t lie to you and say I enjoy being criticized like this but I can assure you everyone here has experienced these same emotions. It absolutely rips my heart out that we don’t get to play for a conference championship and NY6 bowl. And I can’t fathom more of a nightmare than handing our spot in the title game to Oregon. I am truly gutted and sick to my stomach and have been ever since this became a possibility.
Unfortunately we felt like our hands were tied. We tried lobbying the county to give us an exception on contact tracing but that went nowhere. We tried lobbying the conference to get the game pushed back a week but that didn’t go anywhere either. We shot every single bullet in our gun and sadly we could not get the job done.
Truth be told I feel like we let our athletes down. And worse than that we let down people like you - fans and boosters who BLEED PURPLE and make this entire operation possible. All that I can do is give you my word we will continue busting our asses to ensure we win the conference next year and stack titties like cordwood after that. This frustration, anger and disappointment will fuel our efforts to MAKA WASHINGTON GREAT AGAIN and our ultimate pursuit of being the greatest damn college football program on the planet. Thank you for caring so much, we cannot express that gratitude.
Don't ever hesitate to reach out. It's @Passion like yours that gives Washington the championship potential that we plan to fulfill.
