Best Of

@pawz was an OG and brought a refreshing curiosity to the world that's frankly inspirational.

Happy I had a chance to meet him @Cal wearing his Purple HH hat.

The news hurts in many ways and he'll be missed greatly.

RIP Brother

If we? decide to extend Fisch's contract, could we? put in a "no mustard hoodie" clause?

He knew by the time both of those games happened that he had a Washington problem. He also knew in '23 that if that Oregon team couldn't beat Washington he was going to have a hard time doing it.

I love that every time he faced the program he bolted on he got his ass wiped. You know damn well that's personally embarrassing to him and, short of beating Alabama or Georgia, there's probably no program in the country he'd rather beat than UW.

Man … I really hate hearing this

And while people may be critical of sharing info like this after the fact, I sincerely do thank @DerekJohnson for sharing this type of information

I've known @pawz for close to 20 years …

When I still lived in Dallas and the online poker world was still a thing we'd talk a lot about poker and would sweat each other if somebody was making a deep run.

The last DM messages that I had with him here was tied to talking through the winning hand at the WSOP Main Event back in 2021 and some general political discourse around 2022 and the mid-term elections.

My favorite UW related moment with him was meeting up with him before the 2009 game vs USC as we were tailgating in the same general area. I told him before the game that I really did think that UW would win and listed off the reasons (and they weren't the Cinco Reasons) … he mulled them over and thought that they made some sense. Of course we all know what happened that day.

He was a smart dude and a good dude.

Fuck Cancer

Pawz wasn’t jabbed. He told me face to face. I’m not gonna go off in the weeds about jabs and cancer theories in the man’s Hardcore obituary thread.

Except he currently coaches for the Yankees or the Dodgers with zero salary cap. What’s he gonna do when every team has the same payroll? If he can’t win at Texas he can’t win anywhere.

Regarding Fishstick’s wife moving back to Tucson with their kids, I’m not too worried about it. I think his oldest 2 are in high school and Arizona was probably the first time they spent more than 2 years in the same spot. Even the Army recognized the value of having your kids finish high school where they started and lets dudes choose to homestead at the same assignment if they have high school aged kids.

Gonna wear this around for a week like when someone dies in tha hood.

Didn’t know the guy very well. Think I met him once a long time ago at the tiki bar get together. I had a childhood friend die from cancer at age 31 and I never got to say goodbye (during covid, very sudden stage 4). Shit sucks. RIP in peace pal.

P.S. Who’s starting the goooo huskies chant at the funeral?
