Nothings changed with Montlake

I think the same crowd that couldn't live without a tournament deciding a champion had no abiding love for college football anyway. These kids are barely affiliated with any particular university; they may attend 5 schools in as many years. Kind of silly to require them to do any course work when that's not what they're here for.
When Kirk Herbstreit waxes indignant because future pros sit out the Rose Bowl, I want to yell "What the fuck did you think was going to happen when you professionalized the game and made the bowls meaningless?"
Rip the band aid off. The FBS is just the Triple A baseball equivalent for football.

I agree with all that. But I go back to brand. Brand is not necessarily reality. It's the impression of reality. You can hate it like Plato hated art for the same reasons, but there you have it. If people believe it, it's real for all intents and purposes.
Nobody is going to care about the rivalry between the Eugene Mustangs and the Montlake Marauders. Except maybe some folks in Marysville and Springfield.

Mental exercise. What’s UW’s record under DeBoer’s staff with everything the same but DMo at QB?🤷♂️🤷♂️

Talk about an absolute over-reaction
DeBoer did a great job on the field here … would have loved to have kept him if he wanted to stay
He wasn’t a great recruiter here … wasn’t bad but wasn’t great
When he left, combining what he took with him to Alabama, the open door it led to others to leave, and the gaps between the Lake and DeBoer recruiting classes as it was …
I don’t care who coached this team this year there were going to be limitations due to talent
This winners win shit is great when you’re operating with a full deck …
First thing for this program is rebuilding this program starting at the LOS

I know for sure he wasn’t going to stay at a place he needed to give a million dollars of his own money to.

Terrible? Was recruiting really that much worse or has that just become the accepted narrative?

Chinned for comparison of Plato to HHusky.
I'm more of a Cato the Elder guy ("Eugene must be destroyed!"), but still.

Thanks Kirk Cameron.

The big thing was that he only had the second portal window to work with. Plus, there was that period post-DeBoer where anybody could poach our dudes even though we couldn’t get anybody. Not ideal.
