I thought the uproar over Jimmy Lake "hitting" one of his players was way overblown. He was holding some papers in his right hand and that hand glanced off the players facemask while still holding on to the papers. It was more like he was swatting him back. There was almost no force behind his action.

Can you imagine if that was CBK in the video? ESPN would be calling for his head.

Couldn't agree more. Bobby Knight is laughing somewhere

He got suspended for that? That's some Charmin soft shit right there. Kid has a helmet on. He didn't punch the kid in the face or dick.

Jimmy Lake suspended for saying and doing dumb shit week after week. Washington excited to trial run future interim Head Coach options...

Woody Hayes is grumbling in his grave, "If that had been me, I would have knocked him on his ass."

Is Turner doing anything worth noting?

No. Right now he's injured and didn't play against Oregon. I'm assuming most Husky fans probably cheered. He plays the deepest safety known to all man kind and he HAAAATES contact. He would've never made it as a linebacker here and thus probably the reason that he chose Oregon to start with.

Agreed 100%.

I think a high majority who played the sport would agree this isn't anything worth reporting about. I was "hit" by my coaches back in the day worse than that, and still nothing that I would've considered egregious, even to this day. You're not paying attention, slap across the back of the helmet, I've gotten grabbed by the collar and yelled at, etc.

I don't think that warranted a suspension nor the media attention it got, but here we are.

They tried to start an uproar when he botched that 'execution' joke after FSU... I imagine there would've been three or four heavy-hitter columns written about how BK deserves criminal charges for something like hitting a player in the helmet.

This is the real reason for the suspension lol. Lake is falling apart, and this probably gives them a 'for cause' out when they fire him in a couple of weeks.

You are joking right?

There are a dozen threads on the Washington site about how much he sucks over the years & is too slow & no instincts to play Safety.

Kid has been BENCHED MULTIPLE times. Notice the fact he hasn’t played a full season at Washington, because he keeps getting yanked & sat.

They literally have film breakdown of him messing up over & over.

He and Foskey signed at the same time & all the Washington fans talk about is how ND was lucky.

Kid is not playing the position he should. He has been getting sat by multiple different coaches there.

Not counting the Covid season of 2020, he lost his spot and was sat every season.

Granted, I didn’t follow him much this past year, but the kid appears to hate contact. So while he may not be a great free safety, he probably would’ve been a worse SS or Rover.

No, I'm not.

Me saying he's turning out to be pretty good is about last year rise. He didn't lose his spot last year, he missed 3 games due to injury. He played the year before with broken ribs and a broken bone in his shoulder. Both years he came back and retook his starting spot The fact that he got any clock at all early in his career (not to mention starts) is a testament to having some tools. UDub was loaded on the back end when he go there.

As far as his position, he doesn't have the mentality to live in the box and with Dom Hampton there, that's covered. With their roster and scheme, he's the best option at FS. Barring injury, I'm expecting those two to have solid years.

As far as the Foskey mention, you'll be hard pressed to find anyone who didn't think Foskey was the better get out of those two.

I know he’s had an up-and-down career… but he was one of the guys who seemed to look like he actually belonged on the field against scUM, even if he did miss a bad tackle on one of the long TD’s.

At the very least, he’d be on the field as an extra DB against teams that spread the field to run the ball

I wonder why he’s transferring? Their safeties looked abysmal in the NC. I think the other was directly responsible for at least one of those long TDs.

It seems like their entire team is transferring or heading to the draft. Probably just doesn’t want to be the last guy in the locker room.

You guys need to spend more time on Hardcore Husky. Husky fans have about as much love for Asa as ND fans have for DJ Brown.

The tweet below sums up Husky fans thoughts on Asa.



The best thing that I could find on Asa was that many fans appreciated that his return allowed other DB’s to play their more natural positions.

He's painfully slow and that was on display vs Michigan. If he was a LB, sure, but he's not.
