Lots of ignorance on this thread ... we literally don’t have the ability to field a team
It is what it is
How do you know we don't have the ability to field a team 11 days from now? (Alamo Bowl 12/29.)
Even applying the ridiculous 14 day quarantine which has no basis in science generally let alone when you are testing everyone daily and quarantining at first positive test or sign of symptoms- how are we giving up now for a bowl 11 days away?
But the real issue is Jimmy and Jen should have been pushing back in the media against King County and the conference months ago. Never happened. Not a peep was heard. Again- should have pushed back regarding rescheduling the championship game or calling it something other than a championship game. Not a peep was heard.
We just gladly submit to the boot as it stomps on our program.
How can I say what I say? Because I have connections on the matter that you don’t have. And yeah ... I’m going there on this one.
You could argue that the timelines and whatnot could or should be adjusted but that’s not happening on the West Coast.
So even IF we would have been able to get enough bodies cleared there wouldn’t have been time to get back to normal with how long everything has been shit down.
Considering that the timelines for the bowls would have been tight at best the best course of action was to pack it up. Worst thing would be to cancel the bowl game or show up with such a skeleton squad that the game would be a joke.
The decision wasn’t because the team didn’t want to play, or because of upper campus or anything like that. It’s because we are in a pandemic and shit happens. Do you really think that anybody on Montlake wanted the outcome of tonight to happen? Giving Oregon free juice to use the next 9 months is a worst case scenario.
Well as long as they didn't *want* it to happen...
I don't for a minute believe they did everything possible to prevent it from happening. And that's the problem.
And what more would you have wanted them to do?
Unless you think they are lying about having ZERO OL available (and they aren’t) ... what would you have liked for them to have done?
It’s highly ignorant to think that there hadn’t been significant work done to be able to play as it was. I doubt anybody that is bitching knows anything about the work behind the scenes.
Convince the conference to push the game back to Sunday so you could get your guys in there. Convince the county to make an exception on contact tracing. Go scorched earth publicly against both if they aren't willing to help until they are willing to reconsider.
Play DL at OL.
Play walk ons.
Show some damn fire and passion and pride at some level.
Seriously anything would have been better than casually stepping aside, offering Oregon your spot and declaring them the conference champions if they win.
I’m glad you know what was or wasn’t done behind the scenes
Did you miss that they had ZERO OL available? Do you think magically those OL are available on Sunday but not tonight? And if that was the case why would we have passed on a bowl because we couldn’t field a competitive team by then?
I’m sure the solution is to ask DL pull double duty on both sides including at a position they have literally no skill set in doing. I’m sure that’s not a giant risk for all involved.
From my understanding the reasons we aren’t playing has nothing to do with a lack of fire and passion.
Seriously FUCK OFF with your logic ... it’s beyond fucking stupid. You’re normally way better than grasping at straws

How many positive tests have there been, Mr Connections?
I would never ask those questions because it’s a HIPAA violation to disclose that information
You can see the uptick in positive tests this week in UW related data
You can do the math on the contact tracing
Best case scenario with math probably gives a matter of days to get ready ... just not realistic
It sucks ... there’s no way around it
It’s probably a fair assertion that if you have lowered standards on the contact tracing you have a better chance. But that’s not shit UW controls ... so that is what it is.
No matter what people here think it’s irresponsible to effectively shut the program down for the better part of a month and show up to play a game with an undetermined roster, few at best practices to prepare, etc.
Anybody that thinks we should be doing that is ignorant
No, the number of players with a diagnosis could not be a HIPAA violation.
Would never ask names or numbers ... it’s not really important anyway
There’s nothing that matters with the contact tracing
Only thing that remotely matters is that those COVID positive are probably on a longer timeline than those simply caught up in the tracing game
Regardless of which bucket the timelines are horrible

The conference didn't want to play, and neither did Washington. /season.
My understanding would say this is categorically false
As has been discussed here and other mediums, the first 12 months of the Jimmy Lake tenure has been a disaster in many ways and the inability to prove things on the field is just going to continue that narrative for at least another 9 months.

That’s why it doesn’t matter
If what Vorel says is true, and there was no issue with rising positive tests, just the tracing based quarantines, AND if what mattered most to UW AD and Jimmy was playing the game, scream and yell about amended CDC guidelines and that there's no reason UW shouldn't play this week.
If what matters most is playing to a different audience that would be repulsed by such a vulgar display, you do what UW did.

Where was Jimmy Lake in August breaking narrative, exercising leadership, saying he and his team wanted to play? Didn't happen. Washington was lockstep with the conference. The closest thing P12 had to a Ryan Day or Scott Frost was some mild discontent from Utah. The Utah weº like to say still belongs in the WAC. Not Washington.

Considering that the timelines for the bowls would have been tight at best the best course of action was to pack it up. Worst thing would be to cancel the bowl game or show up with such a skeleton squad that the game would be a joke.
The decision wasn’t because the team didn’t want to play, or because of upper campus or anything like that. It’s because we are in a pandemic and shit happens.
Do you really think that anybody on Montlake wanted the outcome of tonight to happen? Giving Oregon free juice to use the next 9 months is a worst case scenario.
How many positive tests have there been, Mr Connections?
I would never ask those questions because it’s a HIPAA violation to disclose that information
You can see the uptick in positive tests this week in UW related data
You can do the math on the contact tracing
Best case scenario with math probably gives a matter of days to get ready ... just not realistic
It sucks ... there’s no way around it
It’s probably a fair assertion that if you have lowered standards on the contact tracing you have a better chance. But that’s not shit UW controls ... so that is what it is.
No matter what people here think it’s irresponsible to effectively shut the program down for the better part of a month and show up to play a game with an undetermined roster, few at best practices to prepare, etc.
Anybody that thinks we should be doing that is ignorant
No, the number of players with a diagnosis could not be a HIPAA violation.
Would never ask names or numbers ... it’s not really important anyway
You are fake as fuck.
That’s fine if you think that
I’m not a name dropper ... so if I’m saying that I’ve heard about what’s going on behind the scenes, I’m pretty confident in what I’m talking about
I probably say about 5% of what I hear because I respect the information and that it’s being said in confidence
When I say something it’s usually because of a situation like this when too many people are being complete fucking idiots and the record needs to be set straight
Not that important ... I definitely have no interest in ever being an “insider” or acting like Butler Cabin
Even in this case I’m sharing literally the bare minimum of what I’ve heard

Did you miss that they had ZERO OL available? Do you think magically those OL are available on Sunday but not tonight? And if that was the case why would we have passed on a bowl because we couldn’t field a competitive team by then?
I’m sure the solution is to ask DL pull double duty on both sides including at a position they have literally no skill set in doing. I’m sure that’s not a giant risk for all involved.
From my understanding the reasons we aren’t playing has nothing to do with a lack of fire and passion.
Seriously FUCK OFF with your logic ... it’s beyond fucking stupid. You’re normally way better than grasping at straws
Only thing that remotely matters is that those COVID positive are probably on a longer timeline than those simply caught up in the tracing game
Regardless of which bucket the timelines are horrible
That’s why it doesn’t matter
As has been discussed here and other mediums, the first 12 months of the Jimmy Lake tenure has been a disaster in many ways and the inability to prove things on the field is just going to continue that narrative for at least another 9 months.
I don’t think Montlake is naive to that
If what matters most is playing to a different audience that would be repulsed by such a vulgar display, you do what UW did.
So you either clearly have knowledge of what was going on behind the scenes or are speaking out of your ass like an idiot
The last 2 weeks have been the worst case scenario for UW ... which is a fitting way to end a complete disaster of a 2020 for the program at large

There’s no question that the political dynamic on the West Coast has been its own monkey wrench in a numbers of ways
Also I think important to keep in mind any benefit of the doubt in October vanished with rising positives in the community
Tell us more about that HIPAA violation you know nothing about?
Even in this case I’m sharing literally the bare minimum of what I’ve heard
