Contrarian Thought on Oregon News

The loser pussies that unfortunately comprise much of the UW fan base and 100% of Dawgman (minus a few poasters that will end up here) are so obsessed with Oregon returning to mediocrity, that they think this is a big loss for UW. Fuck that.
I don't view it as bad for UW. I think it's a good thing. Perhaps its a fucking wake up call to Sark, Woody and the Bill Fleenor's of the world that UW ain't doing shit or going anywhere until it strives to be a championship program. Its inevitably going to result in fans becoming less patient and increasing their expectations.

When are you guys going to build a new facility in honor of Mark Emmert? He's done more to help Oregon over the last decade than just about anyone else out there.
It shows how cunty the fanbase is. They support a mediocre coach and don't get that upset when we get blown out 3-4 time a year, but they lose it when Oregon doesn't get punished.
I don't think it was a matter of not wanting to win, it was a matter of not wanting to do what it takes to win at the level the championship level. When Rick started making headlines for things other than winning, it was war over. Now UW is entrenched in a culture of mediorcity that seems palatable to most fans and the admistration. 7 wins a year. Sometimes a couple more, sometimes a couple less. No big NCAA issues, no emabarssing news stories (when players do run into trouble they are dealt with in a way that favors the univeristy), football is in it's place along side the other sports. No better, no worse.
I have more...but have to run. Banana, blonde...
I have always believed that it was this extreme media attention, which actually began before Lude was forced out and built to it's scandalous crescendo under Bab's incompetence, that resulted in UW power folks on campus beginning with the regents and Gerberding turning on us and deciding the only way to clear the University's name and reputation was to bring Husky Football down a notch or several, whatever it took.
I don't believe this was a conspiracy so much as it was simply disgust amongst the UW academic community and Seattle high society created by the attention Husky Football's success had attracted. It's now become interesting to contrast UW's totally fucked-up academics versus athletics hypocrisy in 1992 with today's pragmatic UO policy of protecting what for them is good and wholesome if occasionally cheating success of duck football.
