Nice of you to fit a little scribbling in between oil changes.

Good article..but I have to point out that .they were not called the Purple and the Gold back then. Everything else was spot on
-
"Maybe they should have gone with Indians, or Redskins. At the same time the UW was variously called Injuns or the Vikes, most local media referred to UW as “The Purple and Gold.” This really beats “All Purple All Gold” if you ask me."
Disagree.
Everything else was kickass. Though I doubt the Lemon Party Trio were very old in 1903. They I am hearing they were molestered by the teen boy stockers from Vikesman.com which is what caused them to citrus molester the eyes of the world decades later. Hence I'm on the side of leniency in sentencing. -
Not your best effort.
When this continues, can we get some coverage of the Ballard Meteors? -

Some thoughts. The "All Purple All Gold" was a clear attempt to bust APAG's balls, whom I love as a person.
The part with the old guys showing up to the party originally had more to it, but when DJ put it up it was missing. Not sure if that was editorial license, or a mix up because I had sent him a couple versions - one more hardcore that we jointly edited down to R from XXX so it could go up on the front page. For those who care, the missing story of the old dudes went like this:
Legend has it that orange slices and lemon wedges were passed around and gleefully enjoyed by the entire team and three old dudes who showed up that nobody knew. The old men were naked, and under intense questioning by the police all claimed to be named Sven. They were released for $20 dollars bail and never seen again. In a sad turn of events, the orange slices were determined to be poisoned and one of the team mangers died. “Never trust post game orange slices” became a rallying cry for the program faithful.
It's a shame that didn't make it because I worked in Sven and his 20 dollars and PGOS, whom I also love as a person, into one section. Good chit.
The original version also had lots of pictures, but due to ownership rights we could not run them. I can show a couple of them here, and you can guess where they went. It's like an Easter egg hunt but without the fun. Or candy. Fuck off.
There were a few more, but you get the picture. -
I didn't change anything except a couple small grammar errors.

Yeah, I think in the two versions, one included that line, and one didn't. You must have gotten the one that didn't. I just like that we now know the legend behind Sven's missing 20 bucks.DerekJohnson said:I didn't change anything except a couple small grammar errors.

Oh yeah....I am no writer that's for sure. Imagine trying to get all this down in between oil changes. It's like playing a ranked Oregon State. Fucking hard.DerekJohnson said:I didn't change anything except a couple small grammar errors.

Dobie won, but mostly by playing high schools and refusing to travel to scary places like Eugene Oregon where there is a long tradition of rape.

Dobie was concerned his Grandma would get pushed down the bleachers. All two rows of them.AZDuck said:Dobie won, but mostly by playing high schools and refusing to travel to scary places like Eugene Oregon where there is a long tradition of rape.

I remember crisp fall Sundays at Denny Field with my frat bros, walking on hallowed ground, playing the toilet bowl against our pledges. I liked to think that Dobie was smiling down on us, watching us puke cheap vodka while twisting our ankles on that shitty field.
-
He was probably thinking "What a bunch of snatchel asses. Rub some dirt on it pussy!"

There was plenty of dirt. Have you seen Denny Field recently?Swaye said:He was probably thinking "What a bunch of snatchel asses. Rub some dirt on it pussy!"

Yeah. It's like half sand, half grass. Rocks are a problem, too. I really wish they would restore it as a historical site. It would help the little shits on campus to understand and appreciate the history.

Last I heard all the students are from countries in Asia and none of them give a fuck about UW history. Just what I'm hearing.PurpleJ said:Yeah. It's like half sand, half grass.

Most of the white kids don't get it either. Lot's of Cali kids and lots of kids from Washington that grew up with Ty and orange slices.Swaye said:

Well, they got Peterman now. Maybe they will grow up with a winner around and know what it is like to celebrate Rose Bowl victories by getting so fucked up they fall down and piss themselves. I have fond memories of that.PurpleJ said:
