Sellers Beware-Stubhub Policy
Posted by Froghair on 8/20/22 at 12:44 pm
Full disclosure--I sold my season tickets (football) on Stubhub.
Stubhub has changed its policy for sellers. It used to be you'd get paid about a week after the sale, NO MATTER WHEN the game took place. Now, you won't get paid until about a week after the game takes place. That means, for exam...
re: Rumor about UW job — possibly LSU related
Posted by Froghair on 11/10/21 at 11:24 pm
I grew up in BR and went to LSU undergrad, and my family has strong ties to LSU going back many years. But I moved up to Seattle in '75 for a job and went to grad school at UW. UW is a very good public school and honestly LSU is nowhere close by comparison. UW football is big up here and you shou...
Pete Carroll re Damien Lewis and CEO
Posted by Froghair on 1/5/21 at 8:48 pm
FWIW on the local (Seattle) sports radio this morning Pete Carroll was asked about Damien Lewis. Pete had high praise for the young man and said from the moment he got to camp he's been a great addition to the team, and he could play center (Pocic is the starting center) if needed. He also said th...

re: Rules question re Alabama's on-side kick
Posted by Froghair on 11/14/19 at 12:43 am
I believe there is a rules exception for intentionally spiking that was instituted in the (relatively) recent past--maybe 10-15 years??? I don't believe it used to be the case....
Rules question re Alabama's on-side kick
Posted by Froghair on 11/13/19 at 11:51 pm
Watching the replay, the kicker's planted (L) foot was about half-yard ahead of the 35 yardline (and football) when contact was made with the ball with his R foot.
Why is the kicker allowed to do this? Is there an exception in the rules somewhere?
Thanks in advance!

In the future, try using a VPN and connect to a US server. This "tricks" the provider into thinking you're in the US rather than overseas. Caution: If you're trying to log on to your cable provider, usually they only allow live games on your in-home network, so this would not work in that case. ...
re: Wilcox to Cal
Posted by Froghair on 1/12/17 at 9:46 pm
He did a great job turning Washington's defense around. The difference he made in his first year here was like night and day. Of course there was no where to go but up because Sark, in his probably-drunk stupor, brought his friend in to be his first defensive coordinator. The change was comparabl...

In my case, I graduated from both schools. Grew up in BR but have lived in the PNW for 40 years. I have W on my posts because when W was going through such a terrible time a number of years ago I figured they needed my help more than LSU. Not quite time to switch back, yet. BTW, I have three LSU...

...Petersen would ever leave UW for Texas, LSU, etc. Scott Woodward (an LSU and BR Catholic HS grad) hired him at UW so he might have some insight.
The sports radio guys up here in Seattle said they heard when the UW job came open Petersen had his lawyer make the initial contact because he wante...
Foley/Alleva/Game observations
Posted by Froghair on 10/10/16 at 11:35 pm
Random thoughts...
* Alleva intentionally said "there will be a home game on the 19th" to specifically echo Foley's "the game will be in Gainesville". If Foley can issue a diktat like this, so can Alleva. Nice play, Joe...now hold your ground.
* SEC by-laws could be changed permanently or ...
re: Chris Peterson?
Posted by Froghair on 10/8/16 at 11:41 pm
I'm listening to the UW post-game show and one of the hosts said he has been told by many people that when the UW job came open, Petersen had his lawyer call UW to start the conversation. He WANTED the UW job. He's not leaving unless some school's crazy alumni offers unbelievable $$$$$.
BTW, LS...

Posted by Froghair on 10/1/16 at 1:02 am
There is no fear up here in the NW that Peterson will leave. From what I know, he is much like Don James and Nick Saban in the way he approaches the job of coaching football, but a nicer person. Very, very thorough in his approach. ...
re: Nick Holt for DC?
Posted by Froghair on 11/27/15 at 11:12 pm
NO NO NO NO NO NOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Holt is the the absolute worst DC you ever imagined. Never saw defenses so bad as his at UW. A friggin idiot that spent all his time yelling and running up and down the sidelines ACTING. So many players out of position all the time.
