Goddamn right, pal
-
My pods!

Listening now.
Wasn't Will Rogers a DeBoer recruit? Do you all think Rogers would have been different (i.e., significantly better) under DeBoer? He clearly wasn't "the guy" last year.
-
Thanks for the pod gentlemen. Anytim you can punch the ball in from inside the three is a big play and impeccable blocking at UW. PTSD on bad goal line offense the last decade is real in theknowledge mind.
-
Longtime listener. First time caller. Yes, Rogers was the guy coming in. He was actually in a jersey with no pads warming up on the sidelines before the natty last year in kind of a weird moment. I think he would have been somewhat better under DeBoer and had we kept some offensive talent like Bernard and Brailsford at least. Still don't think he was a guy who could have gotten them to more than eight maybe nine wins last year.
-
I was actually more talking about general NFL announcing with that. Yes, for UW getting any successful blocking on the ground is a win for me.
-
Thanks @WoolleyDoog!
-
Randomly decided to just absolutely murder the cougs 😂
-
In that scenario, DeBoer’s starting center and guards stay (instead of starting at Bama and Ol Miss), his other top WR and TE stay (instead of Bama). They’d be able to protect him and he could run the offense much better.
He wouldn’t have RB Jonah Coleman, though, and rapist RB Tybo would be gone. Cam Davis would’ve been a decent fill in.
Probably an 8-4 team if DeDutchman stays. -
well, don’t hit play in the middle of the living room with your family all around.

Thanks Taft!

Loved by millions of Antifa followers.

Thanks for the FREE PUB, pods.

Some of the biggest cheerleaders I've ever seen in public not at a game were cougs and beavs.
Where once they couldn't shut the fuck up about their delusional takes and it was at least entertaining, now they get all weird and insist that college football is dead.
It's their choice to take their ball and go home and become just like every other boring Pacific Northwest chudtard that needs to remember to mow their lawn and get to Home Depot on a Saturday morning instead of getting excited and talking shit.
-
As much as a ton of having to be the Big 10 sucks ass it's 100x better than being where the Coug and Beav are now and for all their chuckling about travel and losing to Rutgers and sucking in basketball, they'd love to trade positions. I would like an eventual return to an actual west coast conference, but those two schools might be so far behind at that point it won't be possible for them. I thought they in the long run might actually enjoy being more of a power Mountain West program but they don't really even have advantages of Boise, San Diego State, Fresno State, etc.
The Cougs actually had a chance to have a magical fake playoff run last year because they still had Pac-12 talent but Dickert did his usual thing of trying to get another job halfway through and they fell apart.
-
That being said it's pretty bad that the big 12 wouldn't take them but took Arizona and Cincinatti. Colorado is going to go back to being a dead weight soon as well.
But I didn't see Boise fans upset about the system last year.
-
That's what they don't get. We?d all like a West Coast division of the remaining old Pac schools that didn't die of AIDs like Stanford.
They would go through some Utah-like years of transitioning back to true Power 4, but that's what they've always looked like anyways after they make a bad hire in the old Pac 12.
-
I like to hope it happens but I am not optimistic about a west coast football conference coming back in reality. UCLA should be the second or third best program out west and they have barely been even above average more than a few years the past 25. Stanford had national title contending teams and couldn’t fill a small stadium. I don’t know if anyone in LA other than 97 year olds and a few Orange County flat billers give two shits about USC even if they came back. BYU might be few viable programs out west outside of Washington and Oregon.
-
It's true, a top 4 of a real western conference based on size of fanbases would be Oregon, UW, Utah, and BYU.
A complete bursting of the TV 💰 bubble would give Utah and/or BYU the excuse they need to go beg the B1G, after which the national conference thing is already out of the bag and it would make too much sense if you're getting them for nothing. A B1G division of those 6 schools would feel a lot like the old Pac 12.

@RaceBannon 's beloved NYD 1985 ain't walking back in the door anytime soon.
This was the first HCH pod I've listened to a while and it seems the college football apathy has taken hold in so many of us.
-
Washington won a Sugar Bowl trophy and made it to a national title game. That just walked through the door 2 seasons ago.
Fuck the West Coast, those fags cry about us no matter if we win 0 games or 14.
-
You're missing the point. NYD 1985 was the peak of the Pac-10 being the SEC of college football.
UCLA beat @creepycoug in the Fiesta.
Washington beat Oklahoma in the Orange.
USC beat Ohio State in the Rose Bowl.
I'd go back to that era in a heartbeat.
-
Dude we JUST took the SEC's trophy from their current top program. 2-0 against them in fact
Were you in New Orleans?
San Antonio?
There's Texas fans that would read this and think we're just a straight broken fanbase.
-
Agree. 100%. Even though I hate that faggy term 100%, it applies here.
-
You could always use the criminally underused "+1"
-
No, I wasn't in New Orleans. Mrs Snow decided to book a 2 week holiday in Australia for our family w/o understanding the imminent BPE 14-0 storybook season. Home against Oregon was my only in person 2023 game.
I'm hesitant call Texas the class of the SEC just yet. Sark is still their coach after all.
I understand and appreciate how much fun and great the 2023 team was but that was eons ago and a different era of college football entirely.
-
Put things back together a bit under Judd this year and next and we should be back on board. I don't think the magic of 2023 will ever be brought back but even this year we have a nice nucleus of guys who have been around for a while and very few transferred out this offseason. As much as we shit on the expanded playoff and Big 10 too I think there will be a new excitement generated if we can actually be relevant in those things the next couple of years.
-
Eons ago you mean when our newly hired coach was going around poaching quarterbacks he knew were great from lesser programs? Then when he knew he had a stacked team he went after Mud Dawg U's stud back the next year?
And we had to beat a 9 year veteran quarterback in our biggest games?
-
Most of the key impact players on the 2023 squad with the exception on BPE and Mud Dawg stud back were Pete and Jimmy recruits who had been at UW their entire careers (coming in pre pro CFP). That seems like a bygone era to me.
It's not QBs didn't transfer to other schools back in the old days- e.g, Aikman to UCLA or a Warren Moon/Aaron Rodgers type coming up from the JC ranks. The BPE transfer never felt to me like it was driven by the portal mess.
