I'd love to be a fly on the wall when coaches are talking to recruits

it may be good fortune they haven't got many verbals so far. It's a long time before early signing period. Just wondering if there's been an uptick in calls to and from some higher rated recruits.
 
#WSU's Mike Leach, coach of the nation's 10th-ranked football team, on a Halloween store in Pullman: "The ironic thing is there's stripper costumes in there. I didn't even know you needed a costume to be a stripper and yet they have them hanging right there on the racks."

This is what he talks about.
 
I would just call every Oregon/Stanford recruit that fits our needs and say.

Alright you can play for us or we can beat you next year. It’s a lot more fun over here and I think you would enjoy it because you seem like a hard working kid who wants to see his potential truly develop.

If they are an Oregon kid. Look I know they have flashy uniforms but there isn’t a kid over there that has been there the last 4 years and has beat us. If you aren’t interested in winning then hey maybe you aren’t the right fit and you’d be a better fit over there in the fancy uniforms.

Don’t worry i’ll still shake your hand after we beat your ass so you’ll see me around.

If they are Stanford. Hey the academics there are great, but we have one of the highest graduation rates too. Alumni like Paul Allen, Klay Thompson, Drew Bledsoe, Keith Jackson all had successful careers and went to WSU. We’d love for you to join them. We have just about as many fans at the farm as they do so if you do go there make sure you listen for them (they’ll be the ones actually cheering) instead of reading the newspaper when we beat you. Borghi came here instead of Stanford if you want you talk to him about his experience, although he’s hard to get a hold of (just ask Stanford)

If it is Washington I would just say I hear Petersen pees sitting down I don’t know if there is any truth to that rumor but I do know he likes his darling QB to sit down from time to time and they lose.

If it is Cal. Her Berkeley is a great school no question. Berkeley is a nice town but it smells like b.o. and patchouli if you know what I mean. But hey if you are into drum circles and stuff it might be a good place for you. We just play ball and have fun in fresh air and blue skies. We’ll send you postcards from bowl games.

If it’s Oregon State. Kid...do you want to have a winning season?

If it’s UCLA - look powder blue is what you put on babies, and honestly that’s what you get over there. Yeah yeah chip Kelly. look he can’t even handle the parents of his QB how the hell is he going to handle our offense.

If it’s USC. Pete Caroll left USC to come to our state and they haven’t been that good since. You can live in the past or create the future with us.

Arizona / ASU - the desert? Really. What are you a lizard? Look we have water here it’s the snake river. During summer workouts you want to work out in a cactus or nice breezy green hills? If dehydration is your thing go for it.

Colorado - you like cold weather, we have that. You like weed? We have that too (but don’t do it on the team), you like oxygen? We have that they don’t. You like consecutive winning seasons? We have that they don’t. Hey I know they have that buffalo do you know if they clean out its sh*t stable during bowl season? We always wonder what they do during that time since we rarely see them traveling.

Utah - great defense no question about that and their student section is great. We love Utah because we typically beat them. We’ll enjoy beating you too unless you want to come up here we’d love to have you celebrate with us when we see you than seeing you walk off disappointed all the time.

Ok Tron that was pretty good.

Well played. Made me laugh!

Ok, maybe not the Stanford kid because their response would be, yea, but you’ll be working for me longer than I’ll be losing to you.
 
Tron, now and then you have a really good post. This one qualifies. Good job!

Now and then. So what would really be cool is if our friend Tron would get rid of his stupid PW CJW pictures, and change his Jesus picture to be Godshew's face with a new spiffy quote.

I would have a lot more good ones if they would just boot CougEd, Flat, and Sponge. That trio of stupid wastes a lot of my time that could be doing good material.

When the board is cleansed of the detractors like CougEd, Flat, and Sponge I will gladly take them down.
 
I’m kind of jealous of those guys for being on your wall of fame. How do I get on there?

You are too good of a Coug to be on there. I relegate that area to the terrible fake fans. And there are lots of things on here that I disagree with from time to time just fans disagreeing which is all good to me. Like El C's love for the backup QB but these people have been so consistently obnoxious. You missed the 2012-2014 wars on here where I was extremely polite trying to show people that Leach was building us towards success and these, in particular, wanted none of it. They hated Leach trashed the program, defended Paul Wulff incessantly. Finally, I was like already you want to be jerks I will be a jerk like you have never seen in your life. Because some people that's how you have to treat them for them to change, but as you can see they will never change. They are just rotten unapologetic people.

I would much rather prefer to take it all down and go back to posting history and state, and charts and facts all the time, but these guys are basically like poison.

Here you go lying again. The only time I defended Wulff was when everyone was blaming him for Tuel getting hurt and the stupid Flu theory that breaks collar bones.

Leach would have played Tuel that game...especially coming off an a year long hiatus to get some reps.

Could you imagine telling Leach "Sorry coach...I can't go in. I have the flu"?!

I was glad Wulff was fired, ecstatic when Leach was hired, had higher expectations than I had for Wulff with Leach and expected him to win more games than Wulff did his final year. So when that didn't happen in yr 1 and 3, I was less than impressed.

As of right now, I think he should be coach of the year.

But you are lying as usual when you say that I always defended Wulff. Feel free to go back through my posts. You won't find them. I just didn't trash the guy every F'ing day on this board.

Reminds me of Bill Hicks talking about jagoffs that live in LA and taunt other people about the weather in winter...
"Only reptiles feel that way about this kind of weather. I'm a mammal, I can afford scarves, coats, cappacino, and rosy-cheeked women, and all are available for sale on the streets of New York"
 
Some funny stuff here, but seriously, I could go on for pages. Tons of arguments in our favor. Perhaps the most powerful is this:

"You see what we can do with lower-ranked recruits. Just imagine what we could do with you, and what you could achieve for yourself, your teammates, and your family. If you'd rather go be one of four or five highly-ranked players at your position at Oregon, with some chance of riding the pine or transferring to UC Davis, with a best case of watching us in victory formation on your home field, no problem. Why not instead come here and win a championship?"

I do find you humorous if nothing else . Yes we are in control of your time . If I may quote Mr Hand from Fast Times at Ridgemont High—-If your here and I am here isn’t it OUR TiME?
