McGary made a bad choice.
I grew up just a few minutes North from where he is and I can say that going to school out of the area which happened to be WSU was one of the best things I could have done for myself. I was running away from anything. But I did notice a pattern when I watched upperclassman friends go off to college. Those who went to WSU, Western, Central or further out became their own person, more independent, adapted to new situations better and handled the obstacles of life better than the ones who went to school close to home. Those who went to school closer were home almost every weekend to do laundry, getting food from mom and dad and still hanging out with their childhood friends most of the time. This resulted in many of them moving back home and commuting to class or in some cases just dropping out of school.
All I'm saying is that when I see a kid pick the school closest to home I feel like they are selling themselves and their college/life experience short. In this case it happens to be that UW is the closest school to him and that's my beef. That and what that school and area offer is completely opposite of the song and dance he was putting on earlier in recruiting.

I completely disagree. If you choose to go home every weekend and not meet anyone who you didn't hang out with in high school then you are doing yourself a disservice. I grew up near Renton and pretty much only saw my parents over holidays and rare weekends. Some of my best friends from high school went to UW and we remained great friends but then we made a lot of new friends as well. A few months after graduating from UW I moved to Wisconsin and had no trouble whatsoever adjusting to being beyond a short drive from everyone I grew up with.
Maybe you would not have thrived if you had gone to UW, but I did, as did many other local kids. McGary may be like you or he may be like me but to immediately assume that people who go to their hometown school are making the wrong choice is a mistake. -
Whoooooooosh
That is clearly a major coog post -

Fucking good one. It was actually annoying as shit and TLDR so I just scrolled down the thread after a few sentences. Gotta admit I didn't even consider the possibility of a whoosh. I'm slow that way though.

Free food and laundry facilities in Fife? Count me in

Great read....no go gargle some balls

I totally agree with this post. It seems like he's really missing an opportunity that looked so perfect for him. Not only playing for Leach, but getting just far enough away from mom and dad and living in a place that seemed like the perfect fit for this young man.CuntWaffle said:It may come off that way but that's not what I'm implying. Going to college should be an opportunity to grow as a human being. By picking the school closest to home I don't think you have that opportunity. It's more distracting because of all your friends and family are close, home is still close and everything from what you know life to be is still right there.

And for him to say that he 'could make UW work' doesn't seem like it was a personal heartfelt decision. It's his life, but it sure looks and feels like he's missing out on a unique chance to enjoy his college experience.

CuntWaffle went to western you dumbfucks.

This post is a funny whoosh, but kids from the greater Seattle area that go to UW, but go home every weekend are lame. I would agree with that.

I gave the WTF because he is spending WAY too much time on the Coog board.

Give him a break.

If UW is not going to pay him for playing.
He should go home as often as possible.
No kid can make it financially in college, especially with the economy. -
Speaking of Western and per your video, if only I had gone to Minnesota and murdered mid-Western blonde pussy would I not be a loser now.CollegeDoog said:

You're such a cynically creative cunt, which is an oxymoron any Pullmanian wannabe can appreciate.

Coogs are fucking awesome like that. They always coog it up 24/7 365 days a year no matter what.
Just like Sankey isn't the next Stewert and will end up at Eastern Washington, just like Dockery is better than Kasen Williams, etc.
Yet every year they sit in irrelevancy still haven't posted a winning season since 2003 and still no Rose Bowl wins since 1916. -
