By the way, who said Love is leaving early? I think that he might stay for his senior year. His desire to become an MD is well known. Another year on the Farm would help him reach that goal.NVBear78 said:
We seemed to deal with Philips pretty well yesterday.

Personally I've stopped anticipating a down year for Furd based on losses to graduation.
They are reload, not rebuild, program.
Between Love's career goals and Laird's love of books, it really does make me happy that the student in student-athlete isn't entirely dead.71Bear said:By the way, who said Love is leaving early?

Yeah, I've fallen for that type of logic too.NVBear78 said:heartofthebear said:

Except their Offensive is very dependent on Love, see OSU game...

And you are forgetting that they will have a whole year to revamp their offense so it isn't entirely based on anybody that it is based on now.
I will grudgingly give Shaw credit for keeping it going as long as he has, but I see the program slowly settling back to earth.heartofthebear said:

Hate to tell you this, but go die in a fire if that is your line of thinking. Washington had a 12-game losing streak to Oregon because of that bogus idea, programs rise and fall but Furd has not dropped off at all under Shaw, and waiting for your rival to "fall back to earth" is a loser mentality. Yeah, let's wait until the mid-2020s when Shaw decides to jump to the NFL and maybe we can end a 15+ year losing streak in Big Game when that happens.Big C said:I will grudgingly give Shaw credit for keeping it going as long as he has, but I see the program slowly settling back to earth.heartofthebear said:

Phillips, Okereke, Kalumbayi and Alfieri -some of their top D players are graduating along with Cotton, Palma and Alexander on D and OL starters Bright, Burkett, Fanaika and Tucker.NVBear78 said:

Furd post game announcers suggested that if he is "feeling less than 80%, he won't ". Also, what is happening in Washington may matter. They also said he may come back to do grad work or have a second major (he is pre-med, and chase a Heisman) My vague recollection is they thought it was 50/50.slobear said:
I am wondering if Love will play against ND. They don't need the win there as much as the following week and it seems that his ankle is not getting better, but worse.
It was a senior and junior dominated team, which means making the QB change so late may have cost a New Years day bowl.MoragaBear said:Phillips, Okereke, Kalumbayi and Alfieri -some of their top D players are graduating along with Cotton, Palma and Alexander on D and OL starters Bright, Burkett, Fanaika and Tucker.NVBear78 said:

Lots of seniors in the 2 deeps with eligibility left, too. You have to figure at least a couple of them will graduate.
Most think Love will declare early. That's what I'm thinking, too, unless something more definitive about him coming back comes out.
You shouldn't have to hate to tell me that: As soon as I posted that I thought Shaw's program had begun a mild decline, I was like, "What a thing to write! I should probably go die in a fire!" Unfortunately for just consequences, I then remembered I have little kids, so I really can't do that.Strykur said:Hate to tell you this, but go die in a fire if that is your line of thinking.

Unless we set our expectations on seriously competing for the PAC-12 and New Years bowls every single year, we are never getting the Axe back.
