A couple of these quotes made me chuckle.
I guess even when the team wasn't as good last year, they always had 65,000 fans coming to the games.
No freaking way they had 65,000 in the stands. Based on watching the games, they were lucky if it was 35,000.
I guess the Seattle Times said that it's like an Ivy League school on the west coast
Ivy league? ROFL.

Lemmesee... Failed to qualify at Oregon... Oregon State didn't offer, yet, "I talked to their academic people, and they told me when I get my AA, I'll already be ahead 15 credits at Washington. They said that if I stayed on track I could even start going into my master's program during my second year."

Does this bother anybody?

Oops! I guess (Maybe) that says more about the 'quality' education available at UW, than against the standards at Oregon!

I prefer to give UW the benefit of the doubt here...I mean it has never been proven that the UW school every broke any rules or covered up any crimes by football players. Oh wait I guess it has been proven. haha So who gets nailed first UW or Weasel at UCLA????

Funny stuff indeed. After I opened the link I didn't bother reading anything more than the authors name. Fetters is a bigger homer than the UW Athletic Director, I would rather spend time watching the grass grow.

So did he actually get into UW? Unbelievable if true.


And his quotes actually boggle the mind.

This ones the best: "When I committed to Oregon out of high school, I should have weighed my options," Wade added. "This time around, I don't want to make the same mistake. I just want to be able to say to myself that I know I did it the right way."

Really? You had options? I didn't realize that.

Well, he has the "option" of going to an "Ivy league school" that "he hears is only about 3 hours from Portland." How can you turn that down?

At this point I almost hope he does go to UW. Although, it pains me to see them get talented athletes.... regardless of how "special" they are.

Did Wade acutally get accepted? What a joke

He seems to be insinuating/suggesting he probably could have qualified at UW straight out of HS, instead of going to JC... Brilliant!

If he did that though, he wouldn't be ready as close to his Masters as he is now. So I think he chose wisely..... :lol:

Are the "tutors" going to help with his master's feces, er, thesis, too?
