    I thought Smalls told UW coaches to forget about him...that he's not coming to UW.

    He wanted to be here.

    He freaked out, had a fight, said some things he didn't mean, told people we were out.

    But we were never out.

    He was upset, but he got over it.

    The important point (and I don't remember who made it) was you only call a reporter to tell him you're dropping one specific school (not releasing a new top _______) when that school is the one that matters most to you.

    That's UW.

    Hate isn't the opposite of love, indifference is.

    He's never been indifferent about us.

    ITB.
    Reminds me of a funny story about my cousin who didn't get into the UW the first time she applied.

    She was so hurt (most of her friends got in) that she wrote a letter to the UW admissions department acting like she never got their rejection letter and was instead writing to tell them that she was withdrawing her application because she decided to go somewhere else.

    Long story short she finally got in after attending BCC for a year. And now her oldest boy is a UW alumni. So it all worked out in the end.

    But that letter she wrote to them was the kind of drama that only an 18 yo girl could come up with.

    Or OBK.

    I don’t know...I’ve seen a lot of adults pull the “you can’t fire me, I QUIT!” move.

    Glad everything worked out for your cousin BTW.
    I'm still gonna have to throw the YKW flag.

    I rarely play the part of the glass half full guy, but here goes... This is far from over. It's May, and awfully warm for December.

    Putting out an article with the sole purpose of saying Fuck You to UW reads like an emotional overreaction to something. "Sounds like you care," in recruit form, basically. UW's definitely in a shitty spot right now, but it's not the worst spot. I'd rather be here than given a pity spot in a top 6 (s/o Cuog) when in reality the kid is apathetic and never seriously considering coming here.

    It's like a girl saying she fucking hates you and never wants to talk to you ever again after a fight ... in reality you're going to beat again in a week or two once the dust settles. It sucks in the moment, but you jerk off in the interim and let her get over it. Compare that to going on a couple dates, it's okay but you never click, maybe get a courtesy kiss, but it's obviously not going anywhere.

    You can flip an emotional reaction because there's something to work with; you're dead in the water once apathy sets in.
