Ochs and Rick: Friends Again?
filed in Players on Oct.04, 2002
You had to expect it. I have actually been quite surprised that the media hasn’t talked about it more. The signs were obvious..
Ochs leaves upset with the coaches..
Speaks with Montana, but there is no mention of enrolling.
Has option to not miss any football by attending a school on the quarter system that hasn’t started yet.
Rick Neuheisel coaches at a school on the quarter system that hasn’t started yet.
Rick hates CU.
CU hates Rick.
Ochs hates CU.
Rick loves Ochs.
It is a match made in heaven. So the University of Washington has requested to speak to Ochs. Actually, Ochs dad asked if Ochs could be released to speak with all of the Pac10 schools on the quarter system. Dick Tharp said no, so UW contacted Dick Tharp and he said that they could speak to Ochs as long as they promised they hadn’t tampered with him before.
That is my favorite part of the story. Barbara Hedges, UW athletic director, says that they haven’t spoken to Ochs yet. Yes that is the same Barbara Hedges that lied about speaking to Rick N in Hawaii about leaving CU. And we all know how that story ended.
(I guess this really doesn;t go in the players category since Ochs no longer plays for us, but where should it go?)
