No he didn't. Following '99, UT became an "also ran" 2nd tier program. They "appeared" in SEC CG's in a time when the East was nowhere near as competitive as it has become... but didn't win the game even when he "should" have. The game passed the guy by like a bullet train. I hate it but he never changed or even admitted that he needed to.

And that we should appreciate. But it does not mean he should be allowed to drive the program into the ground.



I am not "angry" at him whatsoever. I am also not in denial about how the program got to where it was and is. I am very appreciative for what he accomplished and truly wish he had had the opportunity to leave more gracefully. But it was his ineffectiveness that prevented that and landed the program in trouble. He was ineffective in program discipline, recruiting, and coaching. And many would also argue he did a poor job of choosing and leading his staff.

Fulmer needed Cut. Their chemistry along with Chavis worked. But that ended and so did Fulmer's run.

You can dissect to validate your point but you're wrong. You're angry at the state of the program like everyone else but you take it out on Fulmer. Its the same old argument.

Let me get this straight. You conclude that the Huskies have recruits because weed is legal inthe state. And you gained this information based off reasoning or actual knowledge?

I would guess, based on all the emoticons, that he was joking. UW is also not exactly tearing it up with recruiting so far, they've only landed 7 commits.

It is legal in the state of Washington. That is why the Huskies are picking up some recruits.:loco::tease2::focus:

1) Are the Huskies still in the NCAA?
2) Are the Huskies' drug tests any different from the NCAA requirement?
3) Shouldn't you add FACT or some other such nonsense to your post to make it more believable?

Weed is illegal in the entire country.......period. Put the bong down and stop confusing Barry's refusal to prosecute with legality or decriminalization.

Weed should be legal and have an age restriction just like alcohol does.

And....Eric Gordon's absence isn't going to make or break our secondary but both parties would be better off if he was still an active member of the team.

Just curious ... are there any drop-down-a-level-schools who are known for having a better than average record for sending guys on up to "The League" ?

Not arguing that he has everything he needs to go on to a higher level, but a man's gotta try.

First of all...pretty sure it was a joke! Secondly, who is this Barry u speak of. I'm pretty sure there are many states that aren't intesested in prosecuting people for smoking herb. Don't u think they should have higher priorities? States are having to layoff teachers and police officers. Does throwing people in jail for smoking a little herb really make much sense?

IIRC, ol Benji had some issues with opium.

Alcohol, pot, sweet tea, whatever.....it's all bad for you.

Moderation is the key word missing in this thread. If you can't consume responsibly, don't blame the drug for your lack of will.

MMMM, alcohol and sweet tea.....I can get behind that :).

Moderation is certainly the key. Like most of my age group, I am well versed in the lore of the bong. It was unusual in those days to find someone who did NOT smoke dope. In my case, as with a lot of others, I lost interest and moved on. These days I drink lightly, but tend to prefer sobriety as my natural state. Not preachin', just sayin'.

I believe that blaming the drug is misguided. You either have an addictive personality or you do not. Addictive personalities will find things to get addicted to, legal or otherwise. People are snorting bath salts, fer crissakes.Treat the disease, not the symptom.

Oh, yeah, thanks for your efforts EG, and good luck.

Actually, I don't think his insinuation is that far fetched. There has been a persistent "urban legend" here in Oregon that the reason the Ducks pull so many recruits out of SoCal is because the Oregon staff tends to look the other way in matters of the bud. Eugene is definitely hippie central, and there is plenty available. Couple that with the fact that Oregon is prime growing country, second in the US only to Humboldt. The evidence is all anecdotal, but I wouldn't dismiss it entirely.

Legalizing yet another judgment disabling substance will do just one thing. It will exhibit the irresponsible and often downright stupid behavior of its frequent users. Tobacco kills and/or cancerizes, but folks continue to commit suicide with it. And destroy their health while whining about healthcare costs. Alcohol destroys families, lowers job productivity, destroys health, and kills via mishandling machinery, especially cars. But folks keep on guzzling it. Since humans have no sense of self-preservation anyway, why not back off and let us self-extinct? Then the roaches and rats will have a chance to evolve. Well, maybe the rats, roaches haven't changed much except in size since dinosaurs ruled.

BUT BUT BUT, some of us are responsible users!!!! Very true. I freely admit that with a meal ONLY, I too imbibe with a glass of wine or bottle of beer. When the food is no longer going in, I pour out what's left of the beverage. So yes, some of us are responsible users. Problem is, not enough of us are. Adding yet another known incapacitating agent to the mix doesn't help.

To haters: This is just my opinion, doesn't mean I'm right even though I believe I am. Won't be changing my mind either. Now go ahead and hate.

Wasn't my objective, was stating my views. Human stupidity is always dependable and reliable so I have no illusions about changing anybody's mind when it comes to ingesting mind clouding substances.
