Then changed my mind and liked it
Now I just hate myself -
I was nervous when we hired her, having flashbacks to Hedges and not thrilled about it being an internal hire. Then with the Petersen and Hop doing well, she got a raise/extension (which was deserved IMO), I thought, “hey, I was wrong…hooray!”PostGameOrangeSlices said:Before 2019 everyone here loved her.

El oh el.
But then Petersen quit and the wheels came off the basketball program. Hop is still around (why?) and the early returns on Lake as a HC are not promising. Those things, while upsetting, I can kinda understand, but the utter tone deafness with the “All In” fundraising campaign, and “good luck rep’ing the North” while #scoduck #wareagle lady managed our social media tells me maybe my first instincts on her were correct. I’m hoping she can right the ship, but I’m not optimistic. -
I think her biggest accomplishment to this point is stealing Stanford's women's rowing coach who turned around and won a natty for us.
Rowing matters to UW, like a lot, but the next 50 years of college athletics are going to be determined in the next 50 days, and we're in a weaker position that we should be because of her negligence towards football and overall athletic positioning during her tenure, and she doesn't have the vision or attitude required to navigate what's coming. -
It's wild that as results change so do peoples' perception of her job performance.PostGameOrangeSlices said:Before 2019 everyone here loved her.

Jenn would never have gotten a sniff at an AD job at another Power 5 school. Nepotism hire.

Realignment is making sure Texas and Oklahoma are included in whatever semi-pro league the SEC will regulate. The NCAA may be dead, and conferences will be around to regulate themselves.Doog_de_Jour said:

If the ACC and SEC form their own league, I'm guessing the B1G and Pac-12 will look to form the other. -
Yeah, I was referring to the “have nots” - take West Virginia for example. NGAF, except their fans, where they go. Like I said, Texas and Oklahoma are grabbing the last few life boats…while UW will be clinging to a piece of driftwood telling Jack how they’re not going to let go,whatshouldicareabout said:

This website is ridiculous.
UW is a top 20 program by all metrics. It brings a massive media market, history of success, big fanbase, legit stadium etc.
There is not a world that exists where UW gets fucked out of a "superconference" merger.
Too much money is at stake for the University, which has shown a commitment to improving the program since the Ty Willingham cratering.
A lot of poasters have the perception that UW is a top 10 blueblood from an expectations perspective, while on the other hand treating UW like the KSU, okie lites, and WVUs of the world when it comes to realignment.
Yall need to get your shit together, grab the significant other, and take a walk on the beach -
This. We are NOT a Top 10 blue blood. Never have been. We ARE a legit top 20 program rather easily. No other program west of Austin could put 65,000 to 69,000 in Husky Stadium after Owen 12.PostGameOrangeSlices said:This website is ridiculous.

Jesus I hate these,
but the hypothetical BoneG/Pac12 conference in the west/rust belt, SEC/ACC in the east/se as someone mentioned, would be ideal for college football in that you can make whatever dumb shit playoff system with X teams needed to keep Stephen A Smith's contract going, the fans would love it as it keeps the regions intact, you probably keep all the bowls people care about as venues, etc etc...
ESPN wanting SC, Oregon, Ohio State, and Michigan to join the SEC and make a 18 team super conference isn't going to cut it, and they know this. You lose way too many large markets. There's no other show in town on a crisp fall Saturday morning waking up hung over getting your blood mary in gear. They know they're leaving too much money on the table.
ESPN probably owns the Eastern Conference, Fox the West/Rust Belt conference. Pretty easy. -
That's my reaction as well. 1b is actually just fine. King of the midgets is not a problem.PostGameOrangeSlices said:

I agree with PGOS that we'll be ok, but the main concern is how that happens, which requires a competent, forward thinking and risk taking AD. Uhhhhhhh.........
Because the way this plays out there is either a massive gap between #1 SEC and #2 B1G, with further huge gaps down to #3 ACC and #4 P12, with a cliff below that, or a manageable gap between #1 SEC and 1b + 1c, followed by a big ass cliff down to the rest.
B1G is going to be the driver of 1b. ACC is stuck with a 25 year grant of rights unless they add someone, and their best options are WVU and Kansas, I guess. Maybe Cincinnati. Maybe Colorado if the Pac falls apart.
B1G plus some combo of the best of the P12 is a clear 1b; it keeps the SEC from being too far out in front of them, and opens up a very sizable gap on the ACC. It would be nice for the B1G to lose some of its dead weight. But getting there requires the UW AD to go against the majority of its longstanding partner institutions and to drag the plan forward against what will be some very vocal opposition. To this point, Cohen has hired a football coach from within and retained a losing basketball coach. Bold decisions against the grain are not her thing so far.
A B1G/P12 strategic partnership/scheduling alliance/pooling of rights etc isn't going to keep pace. -
Everything you wrote in the bolder section is true but have you looked at the choices made by the AD and the statements and actions by the university leadership?PostGameOrangeSlices said:This website is ridiculous.

I laugh at you cowards who think the SEC is some kind of untenable mountain to overcome. It doesn't matter how strong a conference is you just need to be a good team to beat the teams in that conference. The only reason the southern chant has embedded so deeply in your heads is the fact that Saban is at Alabama.
If Saban leaves so goes the majority of your nightmares as you're reminded that there has been dominant teams and conferences throughout the entire history of cfb that change decade to decade. -
11 of the last 15 titles are from that conference. 2 of bama’s 6 titles are over conference opponents. Take those away and they still are 7/15. Going forward they also have biggest budgets to outpay and Poach coaches which IMO is the biggest issue.Canadawg said:I laugh at you cowards who think the SEC is some kind of untenable mountain to overcome.

You’re right that saban swings the pendulum further for them, but it’s not like it’s a bama thing alone.
