So an OKG pussed out and skipped the Rose Bowl to avoid injury
Pete doesn't take risks on guys with questionable decision making, or guys with poor grades, or guys from risky families. Don James would have taken those guys, if they were athletes and winners, but not Pete.
Don James would take them, and make them into a team.
Pete doesn't want to work that hard. He only wants the guys that are model citizens. Prudent decision makers. Guys that keep their emotion under check.
Should we really be surprised that a prudent decision maker chose to avoid the risk of playing in the Rose Bowl? He looked at the risk and reward. He made the prudent choice. He made an OKG choice.

Pressing.

It's an issue that is really bothering people. Or at the very least, it is making them THINK and CARE.biak1 said:Pressing.

Of course it’s bothering people. It feels like that’s a game we could’ve/should’ve won. Everybody’s pissed or dejected. We are Husky fans it’s what we know.
Still a pressing take though. -
I don’t care if a guy sits out a bowl game outside of the playoff. The college football playoff has made all other bowls, including the Major bowl games when the games are not in the current playoff year rotation utterly worthless. Make the playoff or GTFO.

Just don't lie TO OUR FACES about why you couldn't play. That's my gripe. Take the criticism like a man.greenblood said:I don’t care if a guy sits out a bowl game outside of the playoff.

People who understand the game and the business, appreciate the honesty. These people also understand and support the decision.
I also don’t mind these guys sitting out also being able to make the trip. The bowl game is a “reward” for the regular season, which the player contributed to. So be adults and let the kid do all the fun stuff and let him sit if he wants. -
Is the only source for this still just second hand story from 2 retired gladiator legends who got liquored up in front of some wide-eyed fans and talked about how tough you had to be back in their day? And a mom who may have just been repeating that?BleachedAnusDawg said:

Quit on your teammates in their moment of Glory AND travel with and Party with the team?
Take down the scoreboards now.
Invest in Juice boxes companies.
The end. -

A major bowl non-playoff game is no longer glory worthy. If you quit during the playoff, then yeah for sure, that's a problem. But to expect these high level NFL prospects to play even a Rose Bowl that doesn't provide any merit is ridiculous. Willis Mcgahee killed his career in a title game. Imagine if that happened in a meaningless bowl game...sarktastic said:Quit on your teammates in their moment of Glory AND travel with and Party with the team?

The Rose Bowl, Fiesta Bowl, Sugar Bowl, Orange Bowl, and Cotton Bowl are only relevant the years they represent the playoff...period -
Nah. I call bullshit on that. Football is and will always be a team sport. You start with the precedent of kids sitting out bowl games then the next step is kids sitting out the last two or three games of the regular season because they are meaningless too. Fuck if you don't want to be a good team mate then take up golf or darts.greenblood said:

Fuck the playoff
Watch the NFL and get the fuck out of here -
That precedent has already happened with Nick Bosa playing 3 games, getting surgery and then saying he’ll sit out the rest of the way.whuggy said:

That said, he’s likely a top 3-5 pick in the draft compared to Rapp who is maybe a 1st rounder if he does well at the combine.

Anyone that was there knows how much that win meant to Buckeye players, coaches, and fans
As much as it would have meant to us -
Next they'll start sitting out the cupcake games, especially all the ones the SEC schedules in mid November. "Yo, coach, I uhh have a groin injury. I can't play against Idaho." Then it'll be the easier conference games and so on. You can get injured playing pick up basketball or skiing, skateboarding, or doing anything. Should there be some sort of insurance set up for them? Sure, probably but they still are getting a free education. They're letting down their teammates, coaches, the alumni, and fans. It's not all about them. It's not tennis or golf. It's a team game.

At the end of the day I hope he makes the first round and reps washington throughout his NFL career.
I mean, he be haff Asian.

Disagree. This has some valid points. There are players that Don James would have taken, that Petersen won't take. That hurts our on the field product.biak1 said:Of course it’s bothering people. It feels like that’s a game we could’ve/should’ve won. Everybody’s pissed or dejected. We are Husky fans it’s what we know.
Still a pressing take though.
Instead, Petersen takes prudent guys that listen to their elders and authorities. Guys that listen to actuaries and odds makers about the chances of making an injury worse and having that hurt their draft stock.
I doubt anybody on a Don James team would have sat out a Rose Bowl, and tried to hide behind an injury that many know wasn't that bad.
The points might be presented in a tone that some view as pressing, but that doesn't change the fact that the points are 100% valid.
So, fuck off. -
sure

100%
The better talent we have coming in are the same as ever. -
