    It's weird to think about thousands of people lurking these boards. I liked the write up @DerekJohnson what was the HHB board all about and why did it shut down?

    Husky Half Brains started in October 2007 by @iDawg and @RaceBannon. They felt that the Seattle media was not making a fair and accurate assessment of the UW football program. The team was failing but the bizarre media and fan talk was all about how it was succeeding in ways other than wins and losses and how WIllingham was helping the players comport themselves better, etc.

    The website and podcast were simultaneously created. The website was on a cheaper website and virtually no moderation, save for the Friday Sacrifice when Sven got to pick which poster's account was to be deleted.

    The website was such a breath of fresh air but also sometimes a horror show. It finally got shut down when a poster reported some pornographic material to the server company and the site went dark never to return.

    I think I got all those details right.
    Interesting and hilarious thanks

    He came to a book signing for me and Dave Hoffmann in 2012 and as I signed my autograph he said something like he regretted doing it and sorry.

    Wasn’t it reported by the guy from Longview (can’t remember his name) who would post pics of himself with stacks of cash he won playing poker at the local casinos? And wasn’t the picture of someone’s girlfriend? Maybe Gavin Army of Dogs GF, pruny fingers?

    I think the guy who got it shut down later regretted it and said so here.
    He was from Longview or somewhere in that area but he wasn’t associated with Pruny Fingers or the Army of Doogs.

    His photos with stacks of cash was more like him holding 5 $100 bills or having them spread out on his full size mattress.
    I know he wasn’t associated with Army of Doogs, but he reported the pics because they were of someone else’s girlfriend. Possibly prunny fingers.

    Gavin Army of Doogs dropped dead in 2017

    The most history I’ve learned in years. The Friday Sacrifice 😂
