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

PSA to the UW athletic department

SHUT the fucking season down. You are a three ring circus. Pull the fucking plug.

No bowl game, no Apple Cup. Take the shot and get ready for another pointless season according to the messiah Bill Gates.

It’s over. End it. It’s a total farce. People in positions of power clearly can’t make adult decisions.

Never mind you played Stanford when kids allegedly had COVID-19. Where are all the Stanford cases?

    Right on cue here comes little jimmy with the terrible take that UW can use to discredit all reasonable opinions and convince themselves they did the right thing after all.

    Let me add, if you cared about player safety then why play in the midst of a pandemic. Let me guess? Cohen needs her 700k a year?

    I suggest you call into the department and request to shut down the season.

    Let’s assume UW accepts a bowl game bid. But then the game is called into question because the opposing team has a breakout and is cancelled. Or a key player goes down with a season ending injury that spills into next year. Or the game is played outside in freezing or snowy conditions effectively wiping out a game in the dead of winter.

    OR a UW player tests positive before the bowl game this cancelling it.

    I suggest, close it down, get healthy and prepare for winter conditioning and spring practice.

    Call me stupid but at this point what are benefits of continuing this farce.

    Jimmy confirmed there has been no symptoms displayed by the impacted. In the real world you can’t get a test unless you display symptoms.

    This sucks balls but why would you turn down the bowl game?

    I covered it.

    Game being canceled (Covid ripping through America allegedly) real possibility
    Potential season ending injury
    If outdoors could be shit weather equaling shit game.

    We’ve seen enough. The run defense is atrocious and they are short safeties and linebackers.

    This sucks balls but why would you turn down the bowl game?

    Beating Leech or someone drawing eye balls in a bowl game would help perception/recruiting.

    I think it's worth it. Unless we try the Apple Cup thing which I would only enjoy for the first quarter or two and camera shots of Rolo on the sidelines.

    If the players and coaches want to play, then play. That's what players do, they play.

    In a season with no OOC matchups it would actually be interesting. That is basically why bowl games exist.

    Why do you hate Cuog coeds with daddy issues and whatever girls?

    If safety reigns supreme for the players you would shut it down.

    Safety has never reigned supreme, neither has strict adherence to any posted speed limits. Life goes on still.

    It reigned supreme this week but not against Stanford.

    Do you really believe no one with Covid played in that game?

    If this Florida basketball player dies (hopefully he won’t) and it turns out to be covid related, all college sports will be shut down again

    Don't care. Probably no confirmed positives or something. Stanford seems legit, played without problem the following week.

    Exactly, Stanford had no cases from playing Washington. Washington had players playing with Covid.

    In the real world you don’t test unless you display symptoms. Jimmy lake said no players had symptoms.

    No reason not play on Friday.

    Saban is the only person to get Covid at bama? Ya right.

    I still want a bowl game, but the kids aren’t even sick and the covid bullshit is ridiculous. I would think one player or staff member from the MLB, NFL, and college sports would have a serious hospitalization or death if this disease was really that deadly. Not every single player is in great health and that is especially true for the staffs.

    I get it, the protocols are what they are and the liability issue if something terrible happens, but it’s bullshit and everyone but covid bros that slurp up what they are told are buying it.


    I believe the one player I saw that was barely reported on was Ryquel Armstead, 23, of the Jaguars who was hospitalized multiple times with serious conditions from COVID-19 and was ultimately ruled out of the season entirely back in October.

    But that’s the only one I remember seeing.

    For saying to just end the season now? And putting safety first. Okay, got it.

    There are inherent risks to playing football on top of playing during a pandemic.

    I was about 81% joking about your meds

    Ultimately the decision to continue or not is tied to the team as a whole ... I suspect the players want to end their season on the field

    Nobody reasonable should disagree with you on the mismanagement of this season by the P12

    This sucks balls but why would you turn down the bowl game?

    Let's invite 3 teams to each bowl game, so someone is available to step in for covid cancellations.

    Y'all want a banner?

    I want a "2020 ALAMO BOWL ALTERNATES" ring
    Looking at what is available, it appears:

    Alamo vs Oklahoma/Iowa State loser
    Armed Forces vs shit-tier SEC, perhaps Miss State.
    Independence vs Army - hilariously Army accepted the bid well before our shitty league even started playing.

    I guess that second one would be like ending the season with a Leach Apple Cup, which are always entertaining. Dec 31st; nice way to close out 2020.
