Re: Bowl win shine already worn off?

Law, you make good points...and the generalities of what you are describing could definitely be at play. Could you clear up some things? You said " what is missing is the drive, determination, resolve, and willingness to hold our leaders, fans, and players to account for the goal ". Who i...

Watching the game

Lots of options: 1) CW network (whatever your local CW channel is) 2) WGN from Chicago (found on lots of cable packages) 3) FUBO (cost $$, but they do have a free trial, I believe) 4) Barstool app 5) if any of these are not available, hook your laptop into your TV using an audio cable and a VGA cabl...

Re: Jay Sawvel named head coach

It just comes down to whether or not those external factors, whatever they are, are real. Even in the case that they are real, but can be mitigated by talented administrators or coaches...the more resourced programs will buy whatever advantage has been realized and the lessor resourced program will...

Re: Jay Sawvel named head coach

Seems to me that perhaps some of the people who would have preferred the old model of going with a national search for a new coach are forgetting the fact that college sports is currently in a state of chaos (basically unrestricted transfers, NIL, big programs buying players, etc.) and nobody knows ...

Re: Jay Sawvel named head coach

As screwed up and crazy the whole college football thing is now, with the transfer portal, NIL (basically unlimited $$ for the big programs to buy players), no idea where this will all go, etc. - I definitely feel this was not the time to make a huge change with the "national search" appro...

Re: What MWC bowls are not "crap bowl"?

Living in an urban area, plus not really watching much TV has meant I've never really subscribed to cable. Streaming services like Netflix basically give me what I want, but in this case I won't be able to get the CW on services I already pay for. I definitely don't intend to pay the big bucks for ...

Re: What does December 4th bring…..

Just noticed that Toledo's QB, Dequan Finn, entered the portal today. He seemed to have pretty good stats. The backup played in most if not all games, but only had 199 yds passing for the year.

Re: Peasley needs to sit

So I am in Spain on vacation and I'm trying to follow the feed on Yahoo in the middle of the night and wondering WTF is going on. It just sounded like worst offensive performance all time. From all of you who were there or actually able to watch, it must have been. The defence must not have been hor...

Re: Portland state game thread

After last week's big win, this game was kind of a letdown. We won, but there certainly shouldn't have been ANY drama, especially in the 4th quarter. Don't understand not giving your (inexperienced) back-up qb at least a few pass attempts.

Some thoughts on why this is important

Some background first, so everyone (hopefully) gets where I'm coming from. Born & raised in Wyoming, got a great education at UW - no debt to drag me down later in life, too. But career and other things I wanted to do in life took me very far away, both in distance and lifestyle. Haven't even be...

Re: Former Player

Before 2016, Josh Allen was still a 0-star recruit from JuCo with a broken collarbone. NIL or not we were still the only school that wanted him at that point. You are probably right...I remember thinking he was really good before he hurt his collarbone....I can't be the only one that saw that, but ...

I just noticed on the On3 portal site that Titus Swen is now listed as having withdrawn from the portal. Does that mean he coming back, or just declaring for the pros?

Re: Football Transfer Season, Part 2

It sucks so bad. I think we should stop recruiting overlooked high school prospects all together. What's the point? Invest a bunch of time and money so they can leave?? Pregnon was vastly undersized coming out of high school and his only other offers were Colorado State-Pueblo and Chadron State. D2...

Re: Ike gone

It's happening. College sports is now professional sports. Can you imagine if a player gets a failing grade in a class and is ruled ineligible? Maybe it was rare before but it will never happen now. The investment in these players is too high to ever keep them off the court or playing field. The te...

Well said. Living in different parts of the country definitely opens your eyes to what preconceived ideas people have about a place. Most of them unfair or half-true. It's hard to see the true pros and cons of a place (and EVERYWHERE has pros and cons) until you have roots there. As far as UW athle...
