Was the Stanford victory Washington's Antietam? - JohnR34231 - 11-04-2021

Perhaps I'm overdramatizing this, but the Seattle paper has been playing up the victory last Saturday as a big turnaround for the Husky program.

So just like Lincoln waited for a (sort of) Union victory at Antietam to issue the Emancipation Proclamation, the Huskies are now launching a NIL program that they are claiming is peerless. Some heavy hitters are behind it.

Let's be honest here.

These NIL programs are just fancy ways to launder money for recruiting benefits.

It's replaced bag men on the street with "clean" corporate money. Kind of akin to how the Mob ran Vegas until corporations like MGM and Caeser's moved in. No longer is it street hustlers with bags of a couple grand. Now it's wire transfers from corporations like Montlake Futures.

But schools STILL don't have to pay for their labor, which I believe is wrong if they are trying to profit maximize with big TV contracts and paying coaches absorbent salaries.

Does that make Jimmy Lake their George McClellan? Because that's not a compliment.

and would that make Shaw then Robert E. Lee consigned to fighting a losing battle of attrition for the next 3 years?

like Lake to McClellan, not a compliment either.

Well, it does absorb a lot of money that possibly could be used elsewhere.

So we need to find a Grant!

One good thing. Lee hoped venturing into Maryland would help his recruiting there. It didn't.

He probably believed the confederacy recruited itself.

Lee was never known for his fast-moving offenses either. he was often accused of unfathomable delays in issuing orders and then sending such complicated orders that were too difficult to fulfill leading to execution issues. a bit thin-skinned too.

even as the losingest general in the Civil War, Lee still has a small vigilant cohort that will defend his actions to the bitter end.

HAH! Indeed, Slide. Indeed!

Yes, but Grant kept running the ball into a stacked box at Cold Harbor. Later on, his QBs were guilty of two critical DOGs at the beginning of Petersburg. He isn't a good choice either. Everybody knows his success at Vicksburg and Lookout Mountain was due to the Ferrari he inherited from "Old Brains" Halleck.

I always thought what Grant inherited at Lookout Mountain was the equivalent of what Harbaugh inherited from Buddy and Wlat.

His orders relied on having talented subordinates like Jackson who could execute them in the correct manner. Which reinforces the belief around here we need better OCs/DCs!

I think last week's game says more about Stanford than it does about Washington.

It was, but allowing facts to get in the way of the narrative often complicates the issue.

Buford chose the ground at Gettysburg, employed his wideouts to hold it for Reynolds. After Reynolds got fired (on) it was up to the boys to climb the hill and stay there. Bobby Lee went for it the next day but his speed boys (Longstreet's Corps) was blocked by some defensive ends from Maine on the extreme end of the Union line. Alabama boys charging (without Saban) had no air game and were running back to Richmond. Hancock's DL, composed of many Gardners, Mauros and Murphys held fast. After the Third of July they were ranked #1.

Another winner.
