If you’re Jimmy and you’re trying to go toe to toe with Stanford and Notre Dame on academics, you’re doing it wrong. UW is a great school, but that’s the wrong game to play.
-
I never blame a kid for picking a Stanford education
-
“I’m closing my recruitment completely; this is the school I wanted and this has been my dream school since freshman year,” Tafiti said.
Stanford has been his dream school for two and a half years. Hard to beat that. -
That thud you just heard is the sound of the casket hitting the bottom of the open grave site.

It’s a full blown disaster at this point.
Our staff and administration doesn’t give a fuck.
Why do we? -

No other place I can go and say fucked up shit and not be shunned from normal society. -
When Dr Tafiti is operating on you, you’ll be happy he went to Stanford.

He’s a future NFL All Pro! Maybe once his HOF career is over he will turn to medicine to pass the time.MelloDawg said:When Dr Tafiti is operating on you, you’ll be happy he went to Stanford.

Would that count as a flip? -
I wonder if he (like Morrison) also verbally committed to Lake on his visit before Lake let the entire staff go on vacation

We were Morrison's dream school since he was like 8 years old lolDoogerMcFarland said:“I’m closing my recruitment completely; this is the school I wanted and this has been my dream school since freshman year,” Tafiti said.

The people on Dawgman who legitimately try to act like UW is the same level academically as ND, Cal, or Stanford because they saw UW was a top ten university on some bullshit ranking are the absolute worst. UW is a good school, but the doogs think it’s the same tier as an Ivy. Spoiler, it’s not.Doug said:Jesus Fetters you are truly a idiot

Academic smack talk is traditionally reserved for those fanboys that didn’t attend the university which they do proudly point to on the latest US News & WR college and university rankings issue.Edwin_Bambino said:

Basically, the ultimate in dooging. -
Imagine thinking these kids care about academics

Stanford and Cal? Sure.Edwin_Bambino said:

Notre Dame? We shouldn’t be losing to them on the basis of academics. -
Prestige in anything is worth something. Stanford pulling recruits who could have gone anywhere proves that academics, or at least academic prestige, matters to some of them. They don't choose Stanford over any top 20-30 program because of football anymore.mrdoog said:Imagine thinking these kids care about academics
UWs mistake is trying to take a piece of that. Brag about academic rankings to enough kids, and the ones who are actually interested in that are bound to do their own homework. What they find out is going to hurt UW more often than not. -

Quite frankly, I would send my kid to USC or UCLA. I went to UW for 5 years. Nothing special. When I see these school rankings I laugh when I see UW ranked that high.Edwin_Bambino said:

Couldnt graduate in 4?

Mrs Nacho asks why I still care after I complain about the same thing and yet I’m still watching every fucking game and reading UW all the tim.dnc said:It’s a full blown disaster at this point.

It’s a disease. -
uw does rank high, but the high ranking is because uw has a very solid medical school, which gets the most $$$ in research grants in the country. But there is nothing unique about a 4-year degree from uw. And I doubt many football players are in the medical program.
-
UW has more than just a solid med school. You're absolutely right about a bachelor's degree being no more valuable than a run of the mill degree from a directional school or branch campus though.dOgmaster said:uw does rank high, but the high ranking is because uw has a very solid medical school, which gets the most $$$ in research grants in the country.

A BS or MS from high brow schools like Oregon State, Humboldt State, Colorado State, and even Idaho-Moscow have more prestige in my field than one from UW. No joke. Not that it really matters. Hiring decisions always come down to experience and interviews. -
It’s easy if you try.mrdoog said:

If I have a bundle of joy that is being offered a chance to go to Stanford that bundle is getting shipped off to Palo fucking Alto.
If a recruit/family care about academic prestige enough for it to be a deciding factor then your school better be in the same tier. Stanford has their own tier for FBS schools. Followed by the other private schools, the UCs, and the well known public academic institutions. If your pitch is being near the top of tier three then you’re fucked.
The average person in the United States has no clue what school is ranked where, or if any college is considered elite unless they’re Harvard or Yale or Stanford. I’d bet there’s a solid chunk of the population who don’t even know that. There are warnings on packets of desiccant telling people not to eat it, and yet there are college football fans who believe that a recruit’s family will distinguish or care about the academic differences between their state school and another state school.
“You see Mrs. Tookacreampie your son can get a world class education that 52% of people who applied can also get. Unlike our rivals, where 23% more people can get one and are therefore knuckle dragging Neanderthals that will have to spend the next 40 years in backbreaking labor as ditch diggers employed by our graduates. Our graduates will, of course, be kings among men. Thanks to our world renowned entomology program and top-50 mechanical engineering degree your son has no shot of ever attaining due to many factors, including but not limited to the repeated concussions I will subject him to in order to maintain my $4 million salary. Our medical school is also top notch, so you will have the peace of mind of knowing that a pretty good doctor performing an autopsy on your son after the CTE suicide spent a few years at sort of the same place. Now - let me tell you about his desired major that we will force him to quit in order to major in something easier and more convenient for the practice schedule.”

I don’t know what I’m more annoyed by: Lake and co continuing to piss and shit the bed or having to read Doogs rationalize losing a PSA to the ’Furd with the fucking academic argument.
Just shut the fuck up. Jimmy can’t close. He can sell, but can’t close. I don’t want to hear the fucking academic argument for the umpteenth time…that’s Doogman banter.
