            Thanks Taft!

            That ref should be suspended

            DARTH VILLAR: “ I have already altered the penalty, pray I don’t alter it any further.”

            First game of the season where it looked like Jutt's 2023 team. Taking shots and making plays in all phases to the point where the two worst calls I've seen in years didn't matter. Nothing about Illinois is top 25 except the QB. Washington doesn't deserve to be ranked, because we scored 13 points combined against Ohio State and Michigan. Curious where these additional UCLA rumors are coming from? UCLA isn't SC where SC just shamelessly tries to steal our people. 
- 
            Wisconsin is here to play school, even going back to Gary Andersen, and Fickell not embarrassing them in Eugene cemented that he's staying for at least another season. Any loss up until the Oregon game is unacceptable and both Jutt and his paid media guy Butt both know that. 
- 
            2 interceptions that were both completely on Illinois taken away. How many times has that happened in a game? 
- 
            The Judd to UCLA stuff I was ignoring until Caple on his podcast pointed out the Wasserman thing that the owner of Judd's agency is the #1 UCLA booster. Jedd seems to really rely on his agency for a lot of stuff, possibly even talent acquisition now, so I wouldn't be surprised if he gets a lot of direction from them. Throw in thinking his wife and kids would rather live in LA than Seattle and I have some worry. Blowing things up again after just two years to rebuild a program that hasn't done anything in 25 years and is second banana in a market that is hard to succeed in now makes no sense though. 
- 
            Okay, I had already read that before the caple thing. Your last sentence kind of spells it out: with NIL in full swing uprooting staffs and rosters is pretty hard going from P4 → P4. It'll end up being Eck or Smith pulls the rip cord from MSU. 
- 
            It's pretty simple and sensical to me even with how flighty Judd is to get to 10/2 or 9/3 here this year, probably get an extension with a buyout which sets you up for life even if the wheels come off. See what you can do with Demond and co and the schedule in 2026-27 and see if you can spin it into an NFL job, or like one of the college jobs like Bama with DeBoer where you're coming into a humming system, not rebuilding shit that hasn't worked for decades like UCLA or Florida or Penn State (kind of). 
- 
            Jedediah is a schemer. But there's not just one script. He'll get his 7 pounds of UW flesh one way or another. 
- 
            Or Washington can act like the big program they are and if they want Jedd then keep him. Stop surrendering before the battle starts For now let's see if they want him. UW wasn't sure about DeBoer so no guarantees on how they handle this Let's finish the season before we crown his ass Win out and we can talk 
- 
            If we? decide to extend Fisch's contract, could we? put in a "no mustard hoodie" clause? 
- 
            Fisch gets an extension at 9-2 heading into Oregon. Wears the mustard hoodie in pouring down rain during the Oregon game just to troll the fans. 
- 
            I am honestly lost about the mustard hoodie. It's actually tan, which I think now is an official Husky color. I really don't mind it. The visor on a rainy day is a little more curious. You're losing your hair Jedd. Protect the scalp from the rain with a man's hat. Trying to look like Kiffin or Spurrier isn't working and you're not golfing. 
- 
            Even RN knew when it was time to throw away the visor 
- 
            Is Darrell Boston gonna be a first rounder?🤔🤔 
- 
            Grok no longer does a quality Jedd Fisch 
- 
            You guys talk like @HuskyFanInBC is Steve Nash or something 
- 
            
- 
            I think Florida > UCLA but I bet in Jedd's mind, NFL > Florida > UCLA Maybe the Dolphins will come knocking.

            Florida scares me because they are a legit program and the personal connection. UCLA scares me because of the Wasserman connection and location/culture. I do feel like there's momentum for coaches though in the current setup to stay at somewhere you are established and have a good gig right now over trying to rebuild some broken power like Florida. The whole I'm bringing my players thing has really only worked thus far at Indiana. Judd's track record is so small though that whether we care if he leaves and his stock can change week-to-week. Lose to Wiscy or UCLA and we probably don't care much and he's a hard sell to any program other than UCLA maybe. Get through the three easy games and at least make it a game against Oregon and it's a whole other story. 
- 
            Scares you? 
- 
            Seems to me the I'm bringing my players has worked pretty well for The Dutchman 
- 
            Germie baby 
- 
            Didn't he only bring 3 players? 
- 
            Worked well enough to lose to a Florida State that has not won a game in the ACC. The SEC is down, and DeBoer hasn't done shit there yet besides beat Goergia. Let's see how the playoffs go. 
- 
            I wake up in the middle of the night, terrified, that Jedd will leave me. 
- 
            He basically brought three players. That wouldn't be enough at somewhere like Florida or UCLA. 
- 
            Just stop embarrassing yourself 
- 
            DeBoer's doing great Race, you were right. He wasn't just Penix, as the evidence shows. Doesn't mean I'm watching another Bama game or reading another Bama thread on the main board. UW has quite a bit going on right now anyways. 5 teams for 1 playoff spot or however the NFL/NBA bots like to harvest clicks with on the dead Internet.
