Total fucking clown show

What about rowing?
-
Huskies win!
-
Now what? -
Give em a break, they're new playing together they can't shoot that bad every game. Once they get through first half of conf play, expect the team to start to jell.
I mean you can't expect many wins with this many transfers hop was forced to go after.
QPon alone though should make us 5-6pts better than last year.
CBI this season would be huge for all the senior transfers we have send em out on a high note -
UW outscored Northern Illinois in the second half so mission accomplished there.

Basketball season has begun as well...NIU was 3-16 last season.
Final: UW 64 NIU 71 https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/boxscore/_/gameId/401364992
So much for the cup cake OOC schedule. Poor shooting all the way around doomed the UW in this game:- UW FG 20-75 (26%)
- UW 3FG 3-18 (16%)
- UW FT 21-36 (58%)
- NIU FG 21-48 (43%)
- NIU 3FG 12-23 (52%)
- NIU FT 17-25 (68%)
I wonder how much time does Mike Hopkins spend on ft shooting in practices? Also, can Mike Hopkins identify good shooters (FG/FT/3FG) when recruiting players and/or develop them into shooters? Bey, Bajema and Roberts look pretty much the same the players- how well does Mike Hopkins develop players that stay 3-4 years in the program? Is Riley Sorn, who was on the bench in street clothes, injured? His size in the paint would have helped out a lot against a smallish NIU team.
The UW's next opponent, Northern Arizona, lost 81-52 to Arizona tonight. The UW should beat NAU on Thursday but I thought the same concerning tonight's opponent.
- UW FG 20-75 (26%)

Basketball season has begun as well...NIU was 3-16 last season. The MBB program has been falling a part the past two seasons but now with the football program falling a part more people will notice the totality of Jen's head coaching hires. The WBB program has a new head coach this season after Jen's hire of Jody Wynn fell flat as well. Anyone notice a pattern here? Is Jen up to the task? Greg Lewis for UW AD!!!

Simply put, Jen’s completely failed as an AD in a number of ways that have been recycled here
I’ve made comments both here and on Twitter over the last few years highlighting where UW is from a revenue standpoint in Athletics … they are the strongest in the P12 (depends on the years when Uncle Phil drops huge money) and there are on the relatively short list (top 10-20) of richest ADs when you normalize out conference media rights
Coker also made a good tweet thread tonight on the direction of the AD and where Jen’s management is going to torpedo her
For starters, there are really 2 ways that the AD of the UW gets fired under the current administration:
1) The finances of the AD crater
2) The AD becomes a significant source of negative PR for the University
We know the latter is dominating the news cycle … then you add Hop laying another egg tonight and that’s just going to add to it
But bigger picture the low confidence that is in place with the AD and programs by the public is going to crater the revenues. As Coker noted, Jen runs the department on a financial mitigation strategy that makes what she considers small safe bets. In other words, she runs the department on the cheap relatively speaking. She’s also getting what she has paid for … and that’s an issue
So big picture, there are enough people out there that can point out that if you spend money at UW, not only can you get high results, but you’re also going to get buy in by fans/alumni/donors … contrast that with Jen’s cheap approach that doesn’t mind mediocrity (on a good day) and you get empty seats and the secondary market completely bottoming out (which will have substantial short term impact to future revenue patterns)
So yeah, the financials are going to head to shit for her almost assuredly this year and at worst next year (particularly if she goes cheap with the next hire)
So yeah, I’d be shocked if she is the AD when her as of now contract runs out in 2024 -

I agree with all that and have said much the same. Maybe we're talking two different things though. You're speculating that she gets kicked to the curb in 2024, as the financials really start to look bad.Tequilla said:Simply put, Jen’s completely failed as an AD in a number of ways that have been recycled here

But I don't want to wait until we've completely cratered. I want her gone now. And I don't see how that is going to happen. -

I think she’s gone at the end of the academic year in June at the latest -

I did Race … the pressure comes from boosters/fans (lower revenues) and upper campus (bad PR, negative financial outlook)

Here is how I look at it
UW was always serious about football and proud of it. From Jim Owens to Don James in my lifetime.
When they blew out James they blew out the boosters that got it and really cared. I have yet to see any take their place
So over 30 plus years UW has dipped their toe in the water every 10 years or so only to have their dicks shrivel as they run to shore
Rick in 2000. Pete in 2016.
To me everything else has been this bad. And as guys like me die off we are left with a generation that accepts less and less
Bad PR to the upper campus is Rick shooting hoops with a recruit. Not 0-12
I'm not optimistic -

I am probably half your age and still care, I have buddies and acquaintances that are under 40 and love the Dwags and going to a game on a crisp fall day. I think we at HH underestimate our fan base, the empty seats are there for a reason because this coaching regime is a joke, if We field a competent staff and win the conference, beat Oregon, and win an occasional big out of conference game, the fan base is there and will rally. Our fan base isn't accepting this and the media jumped on bored, it's a big reason why Jimmy is toast.RaceBannon said:

Tim will tell, and another shitty hire and we may become Rutgers West
Until then....
