Difficult for me to believe the love and praise scandalmongering Condotta receives here from so many claiming to be true Dawgfans. I still believe Condotta is the fucking Snitch who blew the whistle on Neuheisel's Final Four pool gambling, thus bringing about the follies of Summer 2003, the collapse of Husky Football into Gilby-Tyrone farce, the $4.5M out-of-court settlement in RN's favor, and a decade of decay at Montlake. If not Condotta, then his Seattle Times ownership-boss is the Snitch with a willing Condotta nothing less that an ....sucking accomplice.
As for the seemingly part-time Jude, I have my suspicions that the newbie's quiet periods are occupied with silent investigative activities that may eventually have a scandalous purpose. Afterall, Jude must have the same UW-hating, Huskybating, boss as Condotta and while the former Snitch is off having fun in the NFL and providing copy on former Huskies at the combine, Jude is apprenticing as a Snitch-in-training. Things have been going far too well recently for Husky Football to expect that the local media piranha breaths, led by The Seattle Times, can long stay away from cruising Montlake waters in search of blood and Husky flesh.
Am I paranoid? Well fuck you if I am. Here in the midst of our good feelings about Husky Football's future, The Seattle Times decides it's time to once again publish their old saw about how state taxpayers are subsidizing UW athletics and by extension, Husky Football, through tuition waivers for women student-athletes in compliance with Title-IX statutes. Of course, it's a nonsensical stretch to take this cost out of the pockets of a taxpayer base that's done all it can through the state political process to avoid supporting the public higher education provided at the UW. Boiled down to actualities that can never fit The Seattle Time's agenda, the miniscule (0.75%) cost of Title-IX compliance as added to the general undergraduate tuition is, as it's always been, a student athletic fee that's possibly the lowest assessed in the Pac-12.
Apologies for this post being so fucking long and now I'm going to go do what I can to salvage my day.
