Laiatu Latu, a former edge enthusiast at the University of Washington, appears on social media wearing a UCLA uniform, a former Husky defensive tactic in a Taki Taimani Oregon shirt. According to ESPN, retained broad coach Junior Adams appears ready to support Ducks.
This comes after local 4-star recruited Dave Iuli, an advertised Seattle area offensive lineman, has issued a statement claiming he did no harm to UW, as the newspaper reports.
All of this happens when Alabama, Georgia, Michigan and Cincinnati play in a couple of CFP matches where they are virtually the only teams in full force after the season without opt-outs.
Did anyone watch Sun Bowl and a virtually unrecognized Washington State team that was missing nearly half a dozen players due to personal whims or team violations?
Oh, did we forget to mention that those semi-final games were terribly one-sided and virtually unseen, offering us another, yawning, SEC SEC national championship match.
It has been a confusing 24 hours for university football, especially UW.
In the midst of all this confusion was this: MJ Tafisi, the reserve player who defeated the Huskies this season and is now in Utah State, sent a very public, unfiltered message via Twitter to Laiatu:
“Get money brother!”
No, this is no longer your grandfather’s Husky football, where fans and players joined together to celebrate an occasional win from USC or UCLA and often a win from Oregon or Washington State, and where UW players were better at showing team loyalty and hiding. their personal needs.
College football has changed with the pandemic and will not come back.
“Get money brother!”
Now, no one is harassing any of these athletes for enjoying the new freedom to benefit from their name, image, and image in athletics, especially when your sport can leave you permanently unhealthy or injured for the rest of your life and someone is redeeming. elsewhere.
However, the danger of all this is a complete violation of the model of college football, even that. We already have the NFL, where every player on the player list is their own little business dedicated only to themselves, while he pays an agent to help him make large sums of cash wherever he finds it, and a personal doctor tries to keep him away. there for as long as possible.
Taking two of the same approaches to football makes one of them completely irrelevant. Especially when the NFL seems to be demanding a level playing field when crowning champions, while NCAA football is content to be SEC and seven dwarfs.
The attraction of Husky football has been its bond between players and fans, how the legend can be brought back to every game to greet once again.
It seems like no one is willing to stay there long enough to become a UW legend.
Now we look at Taiwan when he has a strong relationship with his D-line teammate Tuli Letuligaseano – you know, the Taki and Fire show – wants to come back and beat him.
Then there’s linebacker Jackson Sirmon, who answered endless questions with Edefuan Ulofoshio about becoming roommates, teammates, and lifelong friends, and he could now get on schedule and try his best with his friend in California uniform. Or could he wear an Oregon shirt too?
Two things come to mind about all of this turnover and the supposed jacket stuff.
To be honest, none of these UW players signed up to play for Jimmy Lake, let alone Kalen DeBoer, so there are several reasons to jump on board. The door is over there.
But what’s too worrisome and falls on the shoulders of each of these huskies is that they ranked just 4-8, the worst record in a dozen years, and look more pathetic with every loss.
We don’t hear anyone of these guys like their own team or individual shortcomings and want to fix things, they just want to leave. Talent existed, it is undeniable, but apparently there was never a collective commitment.
Are you blaming Lake, the players, or both?
The former Husky quarterback, one of the legends mentioned above, openly told how he didn’t like the false arrogance seen by this latest UW team, where players shouted and mocked and behaved like fools. games early and went home.
DeBoer clearly has a mission: he finds talented players who are committed to the Huskies, not a competitor, while he checks on his character, guys who can disguise their need to get rich and who can basically win. again.
If not, Husky Stadium will be an empty and cavernous place on Saturdays for the coming seasons – Tyrone Willingham showed us it – with fans deciding that one NFL team in town is more than enough.
A year ago, offensive tackle Jaxson Kirkland and tight-lipped Cade Otton made public statements about the delay in NFL interests and the end of the UW and a new struggle for university glory.
Now this has come.
