    LOL.

    UW is constantly reloading that 7-6 bullet in the chamber.

    I would like to hear the excuse machine when it comes to his weight.

    Must be running low on shower gel too.

    Rinse. Lather. Repeat.

    I think that the rot from Roof and FFF has had more of an impact on UW football that most think. They've helped to maintain the perception that UW has recruited well and met needs when in fact their homerism has obscured significant personnel problems. UO fans like to joke about F3 and the "King County All Stars," but when you look at the overrating Fetters regularly gives to PNW recruits considering Washington, which goes into the Scout database, which Rivals and ESPN have to look at, its a problem.

    The question is are Sark and company smart enough to keep their own boards without being impacted by what the services are saying? I think the best coaches have someone look at the recruiting/teenboystalking websites (like a GA), but largely do their own evaluations. I've heard that some programs actually pay attention to what the recruitniks think. That strikes me as a huge mistake - someone like Fetters who (to my knowledge) has never played a down of competitive football is not going to really understand how to identify talent. Talent in the PNW is also magnified by the lack of serious competition - this problem is worse in Oregon than Washington, but present in both PNW states.

    Of course the fags ($75k) at Doogman used that thread to bury Price.

    They deserve 0-13 next year without Price.

    Even if we go 0-13 you can't possibly expect much from a team with a QB starting for his first year.

    I'm pretty sure FattersFS doesn't get to rate players. Not even Fox is that stupid. I'm sure he gives input or whatever, but the big dogs at scout (figuratively, of course) dole out the stars.

    "How were we suppose to know?"

    or

    Remember when 2013 was "being held up as a watershed year?" That was awesome.
