Hardcore Husky Podcast: The Jimmie Dougherty Emergency Podcast

Yeah, I didn't really think of it until the podcast yesterday but that's the way to think of it. It was silly to spend a ton of money on a RB, especially one that seemed like he got banged up in 2024, and when you had a guy like Mohammed on the roster. One year contract things are always going to be curious to watch going forward when it seems like younger guys you can get into a two-year and get more run out of them.
Yep, and the frustrating part is UW could have actually done more in 2025 had they taken the money for Coleman and put it somewhere else, namely a difference making veteran receiver of a dynamic pass rusher.
Fuck, thinking on it now, the 2025 had to be one of the most stacked RB drafts ever. Skattebo went fourth round. You had really really good and proven college backs going really late. MONANGAI went 7th round. Coleman I'm sure saw the cemetery that was the 2026 RB draft (nothing after Love), figured it would be easy to cash another check from UW, and then go probably day 2 in 2026.
Jedd is always mentioned with Howie Roseman. Maybe he should’ve consulted with him before blowing his wad on a couple legacy position players who were always halfway out the door.
I would usually think that but this RB draft class is abysmal.
We spent around $2.5m combined on Davis, Jonah and Manu last year. And we had another $500k ready for Thad Dixon if he wanted it. David Bailey and Mesidor went for like $3m each. There should always be money put into one of those game wrecker types first.Jedd is always mentioned with Howie Roseman.

Order of position I'd want to spend big portal money on:
QB
Edge
OL
DT
After that I don't really care that much and unless your program has been fucking up you should already have guys on your roster who can fill in.
Nice job.
I'm trying to understand how football is worse today because of teams getting a lead and trying to run out the clock. When has that not been a thing? Only retarded coaches don't do this, for all of CFB history.
Seriously, what evidence do you all have that this has changed?

I think they're just speaking to the fact that with the clock stoppage changes, if you have better personnel, score first and get up by ~9-12, you can aim on stringing together first towns in a handful of 6+ minute drives for the next 3 quarters and your chances of losing the game are now much smaller if you don't have to ask your quarterback to throw it more than 8 yards.
Ohio State rode that game plan all season long until they finally hit that low percentage fluke event missing the field goal, and then of course Miami punched them in the mouth and they weren't used to Plan B.

Better at explaining it than me. The clock rule changes I think are a huge part of it. I'm not doing any more research on anything. It just seems like it.
Think about what Stanford used to do to you guys. Everyone is Stanford now stylistically (or NFL) including the ducks.
I think these final 4-8 teams were plenty talented…they’re just faceless mercenaries and the guerilla nature of teams like Chip’s ducks and Leach’s Red Raiders doesn’t get to exist anymore.
College football has always been haves and have nots. It’s always been transactional. But there used to be some mystery and pageantry to it all.
If we still had Unicorn DeBoer I’d probably feel different, but instead we’re stuck with a tennis pro hustler who can’t wait to leave. And that puts us in the category with about 95% of CFB fans. It’s about the casuals now and we ain’t them.
People forget that Chip's ducks were always run-first. And mostly short, spread-option passing.
Team offensive stats don't back up any claim that anything has changed significantly, on average.
I think we (UW and Cuck fans) are feeling this way because we're experiencing B1G football on a weekly basis.
For Oregon, getting up by 17 on the teams from 7-18 means game over if: 1) we? don't turn it over or 2) go 3 and out in 60 seconds.
That's not new. That's the B1G. And it sucks.
I was called idiotic here for saying that the bottom 2/3 of the Big12 was more DANGEROUS than the B1G. This was the reason. Much like the old P12, these teams can light you up if you're not prepared.
The B1G 2nd tier model is built around ensuring that one doesn't lose more than 6 games.
In other words, if the B1G were gay, it'd be a bottom. It's a floor over ceiling league.
Agreed that the bottom half of the old Pac12 and the current Big12 are vastly superior than the bottom half of the current Big10. At least in terms of being able to knockoff a top team every now and then. And that is basically because they could actually pass which creates more variance.
Are we for or against bottoms?
Quality work here, Flatus. Now back in your crate.
Surprisingly it seems like the SEC went more of the way of the Pac-12 with having a better middle and bottom and teams having better offenses and QBs top to bottom while the Big 10 is much more tiered.
