Dont be a fucktard, be correct, and then run your mouth.
Its a simple formula that HHBs have always followed
I heard there was a thread yesterday about what members wanted in a new and improved DM; multiple people saying "More vent boards" "Keep anyone being negative about Sark, players, play calling etc.. off the football board" and "Make it so I can filter out posts to only see the ones from Fleenor and three stooges".
Even so...fuck them.
Instead his customers get, "Our credibility is shot? Subscriptions are at an all time high and we have a radio show on KJR every weekend. We are obviously doing something right. I only reported what I was hearing. Nobody ever gives me credit when I am right, but when I am wrong all the haters love to rub it in."
Fuck Kim. He's a cunt, and has no business running the biggest UW football website. He doesn't even know shit about football. I don't even think he watches the games very closely and I know he never goes back and re watches them, yet he acts like he knows what the fuck he is talking about. Matter of fact, I'm sure he barely watches the games because he is too busy pretending to be a photographer. The saddest part is, there are dumb fucks who actually value his insights which are about as valuable as Section 14A's. Only difference is, 14A probably watches the games.
Although I'd LOVE to see Krisvashon, Husky Clause, Section14AFS, Fleens, and Fetters over here to fend for themselves without the safety net of Kim deleting your thread or putting you in a "timeout".
Kim is self-righteous and narcissistic. He will never admit any wrong-doing or fault. Case in point, now is his chance too and he comes up with that BS that its only what he's hearing, etc. That is going to be the downfall of Dawgman. Admit mistakes & fault and you'll gain more respect over time. Kim's crowd will diminish over time.
The Dawgman crowd doesn't want to watch Pulp Fiction. They would rather watch Shrek 4. While Pulp Fiction is the better movie, Shrek 4 made more money because the drugs, sex and violence of Pulp Fictions is too much for some people. The HH crowd prefers to let loose with hookers, cheap liquor, and blow. The dawgman crowd likes to have 2 beers at the Dub Pub or a glass of wine at Vino's and go home.
Example: kim was actually convinced near signing day that thomas tyner (5-star RB from oregon) might sign with UW. I have a law school classmate that lives in oregon in the same area as the tyner family, and he assured me there was NO WAY that tyner was going anywhere but "white trash u" (oregon). I told kim that he was way off, and he ABSOLUTELY TORE INTO ME: "Have you spoken with tyner's father? NO." "Do you know that his father is afraid to fly? NO."
He completely lost his mind and - surprise surprise - told me that I was just being a jerk.
Pure lunacy.

would lead to humility after awhile.
Ever since Husky Football went in the tank in Summer 2003 and perhaps a little before, it seems to me that most of the complaints on Dm.c boards have been about the venting posted by so-called nega-Dawgs (we all know who we are) rather than the poor quality of performance by our football program. Dm.c had to ride it out while Husky Football continued to slide under Gilby and Tyrone, but with the hiring of Sark and the program turning around from 0-12 to near .500 the past four seasons, Dm.c management and staff appear to have decided to clean-up what they have and promote the product they want to sell: mediocre to above average football, mostly positive vibe with only lightweight negativism if any, and a glamorous new stadium to hype as more important than The game on the field.
Some things which we may prefer to play with such as DFI are just too difficult for an inexpert amateurish small-time Internet enterprise to deal with and to stay alive, they must find another swamp to swim in or an alternate tundra to woof on. All this likely would now be mute had 1991 and 2001 been preserved as it should have been.
