Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Has an ostensibly major football program ever been cucked as hard as UW is right now?

    Hey @YellowSnow I generally respect you but you are being a pansy about this situation.

    The health organization recommendation was to lower the quarantine time to 7 days and UW decided to stay at 14. You guys think Ohio state is going to keep guys out for 21 days if it affects their playoffs? Nah it'll get changed

    I’m shocked that Ohio State football has more clout than UW. I mean absolutely shocked.
    Come watch Yella willfully disregard the poont in every thread.

    The University of Washington is one of the top 20 universities in the world.

    Even Preston knows that means they can do what they want when they want it.

    The University of Washington doesn't want it.

    Sadly the only poont that matters. Bill Gerberdink has won the war.

    Football doesn’t drive the ship at the University of Washington. We've known this since 1993. Gerberding did win the war.

    You guysm keep making the claim - without evidence - the Jenn and Jimmy willfully gave away an opportunity to play in the CCG. Jimmy has said they we had no OL based on cases and contact tracing rules.

    A large reason for the University being considered a Top 20 University in the world is the medical school, which for better or worse has been front page news during Covid. What was the role of the University President and our University's Docs in this outcome with the CCG? I don't see this being discussed much here. But it seems plausible to me that Cohen and Lake truly were powerless to change things.

    No matter how much we all love Husky football we are never going to be in a position like Alabama, Ohio State, etc, whereby football gets to dictate terms to the University. And this especially true in an extraordinary set of circumstances like Covid where the regional politics are so unfavorable towards pandemic football.



    That's my operating assumption. Noted Duck Honk.

    But, in fairness to the point Yella's making, it's not a top end world research institution because of the athletic department. In terms of the clout that Washington has in the west, much less nationally, in sports, is a different matter. We? saw that in the 90s when it was our? conference that fucked the program harder than anybody.

    The things that make UW well known are mostly in its medical/health sciences and computer science fields, with a smattering of top programs in the school of arts and sciences. Those people don't give a fuck about football and sports. Those are the people who hold the school's credentials to which you refer.

    Like he says, it's not Alabama, it's not Buck, it's not LSU, it's not Clemson. At those schools you can expect the AD to lay the lumber when he needs to. At Bama and Clemson the fucking coach can do it on his own.

    Not only does Washington's program not have that, I would dare say not a single school in the conference, not even Oregon, has an AD that can slap its dick in the face of the university brass. It's not like that out west.
    Don James in 1993 doesn’t happen at Buck, Bammer, LSU, etc. Nothing has changed with us. The University (and the conference for that matter) still tells our? football team what to do. I wish it were different, but it’s not.

    In spite of all these handicaps, the bar for success remains winning the Pac 1/3 years and winning some NY6 bowls.

    As a former athlete that had to deal with the Science Prof’s intolerance of trying to achieve a balanced schedule, I can attest this is 100% true.
