Still want to kill someone.
Still want to kill someone. @46XiJCAB true?
I was damn close to letting college football become the shitshow it has become and came as close to walking away as possible. Gave up season tickets after 20 years, club seats, e-12 parking, and ready to watch games on TV. Then 2023 happened to renew my interest. Was hoping for one incredible goodbye sex year and got damn close to it. Dribbled down my leg. I figured 2024 would suck but a few holes might be plugged with the transfer portal. Now 2024 looks like why I was ready to give up on the sport as the last 10 days has shown what the NIL and transfer portal can and will do. It’s a joke. Yes, we can play along But this isn’t what I signed up for as a fan.

Yes, we can play along But this isn’t what I signed up for as a fan. Good post. You're right, my fandom is grandfathered in at this point. When the rosters and coaches turn over every year or two, what are you a fan of? I heard Softy trying to cheerlead on this last week - he was searching for the core message and in his stream of conscience ramble, I think he realized he'd trapped himself. "Coaches are gonna change, players are gonna change. What's important is... (and this is where he realized he didn't know what the fuck to say next that would be honest) ... your fellow fans that make Husky nation great." Well fuck. Between the perverts here and the suckups on Dawgman, who is this fan base that makes all these hours and attention worthwhile? For me it's not the fanbase at all. I disliked Seattle passivity so much that I moved to Jedd Fisch's coast. But I loved something about the UW that's deep inside. Those memories of us being great year after year and knowing some of the players - are a favorite part of my life. So I guess once you're hooked you're hooked.But back to LawDawg's point. Yeah this new sport sucks.
Still want to kill someone. @46XiJCAB true? Only here because you requested my presence. Want to make that clear. Come over to DR and I’ll give you an answer. Certain candy asses over here will cry if they don’t like it.
If all of the rumors swirling about Deboer’s behavior leading up to the natty were true then he was completely checked out before the game. You can’t help but wonder what could have been had he been all in.Also, no real parting message to the fans after leaving. You have to wonder if the guy truly feels anything.
Today is the first day I haven’t been super angry or blinded by frustration from the natty and my wet walk back to the car in Houston and then drive through typhoon that night to San Antonio .. then the subsequent kick in the balls of DeBoer leaving and then learning he interviewed in Houston.The season was amazing .. just short of the ultimate goal … I’m glad I went to Houston with my son who met me via LA. I just wish his other Dad could have been there with us …Time will soften all the hard edges eventually. Hopefully I’m still alive for the next visit to a natty … The walk on the beach really helped …

Engrish, man. And who the fuck is Sale?
I think what’s damaged my fandom and Doogism is the fact so many players portaled so quickly. I get coaches leave and are pricks. My core belief is 90/100 coaches absolutely suck balls and are vastly overpaid at the players expense. But the fact so many underclassmen bolted fucking sucks. That hurts. I get testing NIL and getting improved shares, but Kalepo, Brailsford, Hatchetts, guys who could’ve been leaders, no warning, just gone. You can rationalize each’s reasoning, but no one had any pride. They all bolted. Edit: which is so different how Petersen’s last class behaved. The OKG thing was so shitty from a branding perspective. The substance of it was so fucking legit however which underscores why the current group behaved so differently I guess.
