Wow.
UW alum. Lived through a few instances of the wheels coming off the bus, and the glory days with Petersen and Deboer.
The sad part is this season has been so bad, even losing this Iowa game has me optimistic. It’s only one half, but Elijah Brown looked like a proper QB.
And that team was a different team entirely when he was playing. More energy, playing harder. Even that last second garbage time TD… they looked proud. Almost like the whole team has been so burnt on Demond (can’t imagine why!).
Even more heartbreaking, those two losses to MN and USC were close games, both with dumb turnovers by Demond resulting from rushed or stupid decisions that led to points for the opponent. If Elijah had been playing, would we be looking at a very different season?
And if the whole team looks different with Elijah in, and Jedd STILL wants to start Demons, what does that say about Jedd? He’s also lost the team?
You know, in people management they say that “dive and saves” (where you offer money or title to keep someone who was planning on leaving) rarely work out. If they’re leaving, let them. And they also say: all it takes is one toxic person on a team to poison the whole well…
