Dot...Dot...Dawg (Waiting Game Edition)

"Never cut a tree down in the wintertime. Never make a negative decision in the low time. Never make your most important decisions when you are in your worst moods. Wait. Be patient. The storm will pass. The spring will come."

What this means for Marques Tuiasosopo is the $64,000 question — in short, if he wants to remain as a coach at the UW, it'll have to be somewhere other than his former position.
  
  
• Bishop and ASJ were named to the AP All-American second and third teams, respectively. Chalk this up as just one more reason why I don't think either player will be returning to the collegiate ranks next year.
  
  
• According to Forbes, Washington's football program was the nation's 17th-most valuable in 2013, and trails only No. 13 USC among Pac-12 schools. The only other conference team to make their cut was Oregon, coming in at No. 19.
  
  
• Unless I'm very much mistaken, our very own Chris Landon got some love from Kevin Gemmell in his most recent mailbag. Readers want to know, Chris — what's your secret?!
