    DawgPassion206, a good buddy of mine did a study a few years ago where he looked at which states produce the most pro's in football, basketball and baseball. He had nominal rankings and then per capita.

    For football, Washington was around 17-20 in both nominal and per capita if i recall correctly. However, for baseball pros Washington was as high as 7th. If we really get serious about baseball one would think we could have a top 10 program.

    Keep in mind a bulk of that talent is probably coming straight out of high school though.

    I do agree with you that there is no reason for UW to be as bad as long as they have been in baseball. I mean shit we couldn't even crack the dance when Lincecum was here winning national pitcher of the year.
    Actually, there IS a reason. Emmert wouldn't let them recruit outside of Washington State because he made them pay out-of-state tuition. He said upper campus needed the money, SO THEY DIDN'T RECRUIT OUT OF STATE, so Emmert didn't get any money. I asked him how that was working for him. He didn't respond.
    But how was he a bad president?

    Stupid doesn't count? His is the same logic as raising taxes to 100% because the government needs the money...

    Nobody will continue working if they pay 100% in taxes.

    not true. made up. next story.

    btw, Emmert wasn't the Prez for the entire history of the program. don't know if you know that.

    ask Ken Knutson why UW couldn't compete for out-of-state recruits, and he's not going to give you that spun up yarn about Emmert. he'll pull out a picture book of the old Chaffey Field and show you why. sanicans and all.

    fuck you're a piece of work.

    Disagree any thread that bashes on Emmert needs to live.
