    Just lose the North Side upper deck, and move the student section back to the 50. It's all good.

    My point is that they operate as the program that can't. I think Washington could easily be a 12-2 program with Deboer, especially in a terrible Pac-12. Though I think letting Oregon and USC pull away so far from them in recruiting in recent seasons is going to make it a lot harder.

    Beboer was a good hire to me, especially when you look at who Auburn, Florida, Florida State, Miami, Notre Dame, Texas and hell even Oklahoma have hired in recent years.

    They needed to take the money they saved in hiring Deboer instead of Campbell supposedly and invest that in a real DC and position coaches. A real AD should say hell no, we're not bringing over the Fresno State D staff up here. Someone like Tim Derutyer should have been a floor. Should have also brought on a consultant for the offense who has been in the Pac-12 before as well. I'm fine with Grubb and Deboer but need someone who has been there before as well.

    NIL and how to it could be better is a dead horse, but obviously that needs to happen too.

    I know I've beat a dead horse on this topic, but is it wrong of me to not give a shit as to whether UW excels at NIL or not? I'm willing to accept the theoretical ceiling that this puts on the program.
    If UW isn’t interested in playing the game by the current rules why should you care about what success looks like?
    That's the point. I don't care that much anymore, because of the current rules.

    And frankly my dear @Tequilla , I don't give a damn that UW isn't that interested.

    I know where you stand … it’s unfortunate but understandable

    There’s a very high probability I’m directionally heading in your direction as I won’t renew for next season

    No, they desperately want filled stadiums, brimming with loyal fans who will cheer and spend $$ for 6-6 football so the pressure is mostly off

    This idea that anybody tied to UW wants empty stadiums is foolish on so many levels

    You’re 100% right DJ in that they want your money but just as importantly don’t want to be accountable for results

    Sadly, I think the only way Cohen gets fired is if the second-tier sports start sucking and the stadium continues to empty. This is the bass-ackwards world we live in as UW football fans.

    We? prefer the label "non revenue" or "Olympic" sports thank you for very much.

    There’s a high degree of directional probability of directionally going in a certain direction as directed by the directional probability in this directional poast.

    Keep rowing out of that category. Pretty sure those guys get decent donorship
