    TLDR: I had to murder the Pac 12. No need to explain. Cuogs will replace Tulsa on our schedule. Look forward to aligning with Michigan bye.

    Jen still has issues but I can't really complain about the job AMC has done. She had one job to do. She did it.

    I believe ANC has taken the title Football President from Emmert.

    When push comes to shove AMC ain’t gonna let all those Olympic sports die on her watch.

    no comment about Cauce and Jen "tied at the hip" yet? Hopefully just TLDR and not "this place is slipping".

    Also watch Jen's eyes as she answers the student travel question (6:50). I am no CIA agent, but I've watched enough movies to know when your eyes are darting to that level.. clear sign of being deceptive or telling an untruth.

    Kim Grinolds asking the "revenue gap" question... of course, as a titan of two industries...

    New softball, baseball stadium, softball practice facility. New basketball facilities I believe still in the works. Probably planning to give the track team some shit because of their success.

    Probably wasn't too thrilled that we lost our good volleyball coach to Minnesota.

    There will be some pressure to elevate the hockey team beyond club status. They kicked Utah's ass to win the flaccid Pac whatever last year.

    But the Coug and some Purdue retard tells me that this isn't going to end well for Washington.

    TLDR Jen is exactly who we thought she is. AMC is not.



    The end.

    I laughed that Cauce seemed annoyed about Kim asking about the divide between upper campus and athletics.

    As small a man as he is he was right to at least touch on the subject. Maybe through existential crisis a gap has been bridged between the higher academics and the football program. It’s always felt like there’s been push back on big Tim college football. I’m hoping all hands and wallets are on deck.
    I thought it was dumb because the results speak for themselves.

    He can look up the financial details himself and see why any of the 4 corners schools would suck a 100 dicks to trade places with Washington.

    In situations like this it's upper campus behind closed doors and the AD and especially coaches are only informed after major decisions/conclusions are made.

    AMC may not realize it now or want it to be, but the decision to move to the B1G will be what she's remembered for.

    It helps to add filters. Most things are better with filters.

    Cauce seems legit. Jen came on screen swiveling her chair like a nervous toddler

    Minor, but not really FFS: Whoever cut this video did a shit job with timing. Each cutaway to commentary enters just a beat too early, so you can always tell that we're being talked about after Oregon and only as a second thought. You're going to do a hype reel get the fucking details correct. Like Coach Pete says - everyone has to step the fuck up now.... that goes 1000x for our weak amateur marketing department.

    I think Jen was probably assuring all her PAC colleagues that things would work out … until Cauce said fuck that shit.

    I get the feeling Jen may not be long for her job. I think she may be a suddenly senior situation before the start of the B1G experience for UW.

    Presidents want ADs to do their fucking job.

    It's been rumored that she was going to "retire", but now that we've graduated from Covid and the Jimmy disaster to having everything easy again, I don't know.

    You don't even need to do any existential speculation to see that athletics and the ivory tower side of UW are more aligned than ever (at least in my lifetime). Just look at Cauce's literal actions. Read her literal words she has said about this. This is what we've been asking for since the yearning-for-Jim-Mora days at least*. Feels good ngl.

    *edit: early 90s is what I should have said.

    I'm still in shock at our President. Of UW that is
