There's more to life than football ...
And yes, I do boo kids.
But that line is right up there with WDWHA as justification for losing recruits. It relieves coaches from responsibility for losing players they should get. It's saying " nothing we could do about it"
They fact is many players get offers to Stanford and accept at other schools. Jake locker included.

I'm not saying that others choose in other directions ...
What I am saying is that I will never fault anybody that values that kind of education and makes the decision as much for what happens in the classroom as on the football field.
You should learn the difference.
This is also a prime example of why TBS is so ridiculous in the first place. If you look at recruiting in a vacuum of each and every kid, then you get bent out of shape at things like "this is right up there with WDWHA justification" ... if you look at the class as a whole, keeping in perspective who was lost and signed, then you stop worrying about shit like this random LB from California that decided to go to Duke.
The reality is that still very few kids that go to college to play football will make it to the NFL and even fewer will have long-term NFL careers to the point that their college education doesn't matter. I will never criticize a kid/family for making a decision that accounts for that. It's what I would do if I was advising my kids. It's what I did in advising my brother. -
I don't fault/critisize any player for whatever they chose. I fault the coach for not getting the player.Tequilla said:I'm not saying that others choose in other directions ...

If you're really picking Stanford for the education, you shouldn't be playing football.
You simply throw out trite sayings and don't hold the coaches accountable. That's a doog move. -
You lost Eason. No big deal. A guy that calls himself skinny probably didn't have the chops to be the QB of your team anyway.

fucking thisCuntWaffle said:Christ guys it is fucking July. These players still have a whole season of HS left. LIPO, remember how many early commits Sark would get just to lose in the end?
People who go into huge TBS mode in July are creepy. -
He's only going to Georgia because Oregon didn't want him.

Fuck off Damone ...
If there's one person that consistently calls a spade a spade based on results, it's me.
I might not fly off the handle as much as maybe I could, but I've got absolutely no problem saying what needs to be said that is also uncomfortable.
And you're fucking dead wrong about an athlete not being worried about their education. Even for the best of athletes, you're done with your career between the ages of 35-40. You've still got anywhere from 25-35 years of a life left to figure out what to do with. And if you're really that damn good, that means that you've got yourself in a position where having a great education will actually be far more valuable than that person ever thought about when they made the decision to get it.
The idiots that pick whatever school, don't pay attention in the classroom, and then are fucked when their athletic dreams don't pan out, they can end up joining you at Lowe's. -
Somebody is ready to roll. I like it.

You missed the point..completely. I bet your also against war, but support the troops. Profiles in courage statements that people use to not actually say anything, but attempt to portray themselves in a specific way to others.Tequilla said:Fuck off Damone ...

You might not fly off the handle as much as some people and call a spade a spade.... Says the guy who has the most fly off the handle defending the indefensible post in half brain history. -
Perhaps he walked around the UW campus...saw the women.
Walked around Georgia's campus...saw the women and said "yes please." -
I never fault a player for picking a school with hot chicks.HuskyJW said:Perhaps he walked around the UW campus...saw the women.

So, 8-5 gets him fired? Right...PostGameOrangeSlices said:
With the easy schedule and talent on this team, going 8-5 would be a fucking disaster and is unacceptable.RaccoonHarry said:
Disagree. As good as Petersen is it could take a year to flush the Sark out of the team. If a 8-5 record this year is followed by another 5 loss season in 2015 I'll be concerned. But it won't be.DerekJohnson said:It goes with saying that we do our best to call a spade a spade. If UW goes 8-5 this year (with that ridiculous schedule) I will be seriously questioning whether Petersen is the right coach for us.

I'm not against war at all ... only against wars where the reasons for jumping in are not well defined and the path to establishing what victory is is unknown.
I'm beyond pissed that Obama's reaction to Russia has been so piss poor ... it's fucking ridiculous. -

I didnt say that, did I buttfuck? -
