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

When you say "bud", do you mean that in an endearing way, like you me and @dflea are Black Hills League buds?RaceBannon said:Why would UW change when you throw money at them for being losers
Jenn loves this thread
Look they make all my excuses for me and don't expect shit
Send them the fundraising letter bud
Or do you mean it sarcastically? -

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 -
Honestly though....since I think we can all agree that sportsmanship and the fight against injustice are the real wins, UW had a great season. I for one, am proud.

Yella its time for a perspective walk
We were in the playoff FOUR YEARS AGO
We don't even need to talk about the 90s anymore because it was JUST proven what UW can be on the field and no matter how much you want to whine it doesn't take that away. They did it 2016 regardless of any "upper campus issues"

Ok hockey mom, thanks for the advice. Where have I ever said that UW shouldn’t annually be in the hunt for the CFP? That should be the goal every year. Judge Jenn and Jimmy based on the results on the field in 2021.Canadawg said:Yella its time for a perspective walk

All I’m saying is the UW’s administration doesn’t care about doing what ever it takes to win at football, which is a handicap Bammer or Buckeye doesn’t face.

He's talking about COVID. We seem to have lost sight, as we often do here, of the original subject. He's saying that it's a lot easier to tell the AD or the first year coach to push around and through the COVID problem than it is for them to actually do it. Lake, for starters, has no clout. He is a first-year promoted DC. Forget about that. Anybody expecting him to swing his dick around is just naive. He just got there and has no platform.Canadawg said:Yella its time for a perspective walk

Cohen is a functionary. Functionaries exist within larger bureaucracies and UW is a medium sized city. They don't get there and stay there by not knowing the politics. That's where the "bud" tone in the letter comes from. I've written and reviewed a million in my career. First draft starts with "bud" because the writer is sitting there rolling their eyes at the person demanding that they do or don't do something the substance and context of which that person barely understands.
Here is a wild ass guess: UW has been out front on COVID as a national resource. Seattle is not exactly full of people who think it's just a bunch of bullshit. The AD at UW is going to play ball strictly by the rules the healthcare people have laid out. Period. Nothing short of that will be tolerated. Otherwise, really bad look for the school.
He's not talking about expectations going forward. Just the issue with COVID.
If you want to be mad, be made that Lake didn't manage a tighter ship and keep the kids clean. That turned out to matter. -

Lots of reasonable perspective in this thread.
Somehow I don’t think mi amigo creep wood be so forgiving and understanding if Miami pulled this shit.
Feels like I’m at Dawgman.
Fuck expectations. -

Today? I just want to play Virginia and North Carolina and not worry about the outcome.
Expectations have been markedly adjusted. It's been 18 years. At some point, I can't worry about it anymore.
PS: I did re-watch the 1989 Miami Notre Dame tilt the other day. I needed a fix. When I get real desperate, I'll look for 1985 Notre Dame, where the humiliation was next level. Or 1990 Texas, one of my all-tim favorites. So I guess I still care a little. -
This poast deserves mor chins. Well done.BleachedAnusDawg said:Gave up reading this thread after the first 50 posts saying the same stuff over and over.
Here's the deal. Anyone expecting UW to push back hard, go against the conference publicly, or try any other means of getting to play in the CCG or keep Oregon out has either been away from Seattle too long, is in denial about what Seattle has become and who the people are who inhabit the city, or never lived here in the first place.
If your expectations and demands are tied in to any kind of thought that mirrors the SEC you should quit following UW now and save the remaining years of your life for some other kind of misery. It's over and not changing back.
Someone rightly pointed out that one year after winning a National Championship the school went out of its way to toss Don James under the bus. The AD does not have to live up to a championship standard because the regents and school president don't give a shit about football, and there is no well-heeled alumn out there who will put pressure on the school ala Uncle Phil - sorry @sonics1993, your $500k isn't big dick money. As long as the AD is making a profit that's good enough for them. UW are the Mariners of CFB.
