I’ve said this again and again and only received fuck offs. It was only a matter of time before the top rated recruiting classes amounted to something. Regardless of how many dudes portaled or the other doog excuses, if Lanning can stay out of his own way they will continue to be a playoff contender.
lol. They barely play their own recruits. It's not the high school kids being developed or having so much talent.
9/11 transfers starting on defense and 6/11 on offense. Oregon, unless they whiff in the portal will never have personnel weaknesses along with a handful of other programs.
I don't pretend to know our boosters and contributors to the program, but it's obvious they are not as rich as Oregon's and to your point don't care as much.
Based on last year seems like we have people that will spend sometimes but not all the time.
Yeah in the past few years the only in-house TBS star guys doing much for Oregon have been Franklin and Conerly, and now DJU's younger brother and the rest have just been portal guys and try hard guys the TBS dudes didn't actually want. They're not the only ones doing it though. Texas, Ohio State, and others have relied plenty on the portal. It's great for them because you can easily make up for lack of development by buying players other schools developed. If you have enough money to blast it for the best portal guys you never have to rebuild unless you're really bad at it like USC.
UW and all the schools down the line pretty much do the same thing now but I think the variance in development importance and how good guys are coming out the portal is a way way way more top heavy favored than it is coming out of high school.
UW is serious but is much more likely to deploy dollars for experienced players. But UW has about half the NIL dollars as Ohio State, Oregon, Texas A&M, etc.
I personally strongly dislike what people like Phil Knight have turned CFB into but have donated to Montlake Futures while waiting for things to unfold. Have you?
You are a long line of whiners complaining and doing nothing except complaining about others doing nothing…How many playoff appearances? W/L record vs Oregon, players in the league? Yeah, they are whooping us.
You like spending money on all the paper tigers… got it, F-Off
For some reason, you have it in your mind that UW did not offer DeBoer enough to keep him. How does that make any sense? What basis do you have to support that?
Look, I didn't want DeBoer to leave either but Alabama set their sights on him, DeBoer hired Sexton, and he wouldn't sign an lucrative extension. He didn't even counter for a higher salary with Sexton as his agent. The dude was gone gone gone.
Saying that I reward "failure" and also "defend it" is ridiculous too. I'm simply calling you out for being a whiner but not doing anything to improve the situation. When are you going to give up the schtick?
Nah during that time, UW doesn't make multiple Rose Bowls, multiple New Year's bowls, multiple playoffs, and a NC appearance by "rewarding failure".
And after DeBoer hired Nick Saban's agent, there was no way he was going to spurn Alabama and stay at UW. What reasoning do you have that would say otherwise?

If only poor old Worshington could compete with those few schools
Of course We Can't tm
Oregon has a lot more than just Phil paying up
In all seriousness I'd think 3 times before giving UW money. They aren't serious

Serious but half the money isn't serious
More people will need to donate since a mega booster doesn't seem to be forthcoming. Have you donated?
Why would I?
They aren't serious. I don't enable failure
Complaining but doing nothing to help. Got it.
Dawgman beckons
25 years of this bullshit
74 to 2007 before I caught on
The least you could do is ask a very wealthy friend to donate if you're unwilling or unable to do it yourself.
Why?
So I can be told UW is too poor to keep a great coach?
I don't reward failure. You do and also defend it
We're different

Misplaced anger
You hate to see it
I’m done with the Mariners.
Haven’t watched an NBA game since the Sonics left and apparently they want Seattle and my fandom back. No thanks.
Taking my kids to their first Seahawk game in December. After that I’m done.
Getting damn close with Husky football.

It's not a shtick
It's the reality of the program. Has been going on 30 years
You know how many posters have flipped out on me in that time?
I've explained myself. The anger towards me is because I'm right
But do your thing.
Nah during that time, UW doesn't make multiple Rose Bowls, multiple New Year's bowls, multiple playoffs, and a NC appearance by "rewarding failure".

He hired Sexton to get paid
Money talks. Bullshit walks
If someone brought these excuses into my office they would walk out unemployed
Why do you care what I think? Because in your heart you know I'm right
But maybe fisch will have a good season someday. Something to look forward too
