    To me the what if isn’t if Pete stayed for this year but if Lake had taken over after the #myrapp rose bowel.

    What would the record have been last year with a Jimmy coached team? 11-2?

    Blaming Jimmy for anything virus related is FS. He can’t control every aspect of the player’s lives and even if he could, people are still getting covid and the contact tracing bullshit is ridiculous.

    Wait? There are people blaming Jimmy for the team getting the virus???

    I’ve seen people criticize him/the program for pretending they were actually doing anything better than other programs

    I’ve criticized him for not atleast putting forward the image of wanting to play in both the CCG and a bowl game.

    As I famously said after the Stanford game, once the vid was in the system it was going to run wild just like Stanford did against our defense.

    They (he) should have been better prepared for the inevitable, they should have been ready to lobby the pac12 and bowl games to delay for a week while it ran through the system, they should have been consistently saying they will do everything they can to play as many games as possible....

    Instead they did things like turn down Army, rolled over without a fight on the CCG, and the just closed it down when a bowl game could be weeks away.

    Jimmy doesn't deserve blame for the virus. He does get some blame for running the team that was clearly the least organized in terms of overcoming a covid outbreak. Either the kids didn't really care enough about playing to take it seriously or the coaches weren't creative enough in finding ways around the regulations. The Stanford game was apparently nearly cancelled so thats when it started,, meaning the covid thing essentially took the team out of action for a month because they couldn't get it under control.

    This. Fire Larry. Fire Jen.

    The Jimmy is Sark stuff after 4 games and a North Championship is paste eating FS.

    And I am probably more fed up with our defensive scheme than most here.
    I won’t call it sizzle but doogs love recruiting. Losing Egbuka and JTT sucks and shouldn’t be happening, but winning cures all. Just get it done. We should win the conference next year.

    I hate recruiting because right now, we are supposed to have the top WR’s on the West Coast in Spiker and Osbourne, Julius Irving is a star at safety, Asa Turner is Kam Chancellor, Myles Murao is starting at center (he won’t next year either). A bunch of dooging over over blue chips when a good portion of those guys are overrated low 4 star guys.

    We got higher rated players for our level up and we didn’t level up. Now the reason is because we retained assistant coaches and recruiting needed to be any better.

    The goalposts and blame are always moving and really the reason we didn’t level up is because the coaching wasn’t as good as it needed to be and many of the higher rated recruits sucked.
    And our first couple of Pete classes were massively underrated. These weren't tryhards guys, many of them are getting significant PT in the NfL. Because they love football and love smacking people.

    The highest rated lb in our conference is our walk on lb. The highest (or was) rated edge rusher was a low rated guy who imo is much better than Thibs.

    I get what the tbsers are saying. Stack talent so your misses don't hurt you. You need a level of athleticism to compete with Bama. No doubt.

    But there's always another dimension to football other than fat fucks evaluating high school kids.

    Our coaches are good, maybe great at a lot of things. They need to get over themselves in some areas though.

    If Jimmy lake had any balls (or brains) he would have publicly been out in front of the UW pussying out of the bowl game and been on record saying they are excited and working on getting healthy again for the best bowl game possible in a few weeks.

    81% chance Jimmy bent over for Jen and begged for the pegging in her office

    He did on Wednesday on the Lake Show. He wanted to play
