Musings from an old fuck

I found Dawgman in the summer of 1999 right after Rick got hired and the first of many times that Fleenor threatened to pull his donation from the program because he hated the hire.
I had got Sports Washington most of the 90's when Heckman ran it. Didn't really care about the recruiting but liked the way Jim ripped Babs all the time and accused her of siphoning program money for her husband. Allegedly
The early internet experience and Rick's flashy emphasis on recruiting sucked me in some for a while. Practice reports and working harder than ever in the summer and winter conditioning under whoever was Ivan back then. All the stuff that has become a punch line for jokes that aren't funny anymore after 23 times.
If you think about it the internet fan experience covers the absolute worst times of Husky Football ever. EVER! So I am completely jaded like all the rest of you gaybobs. I said I'd wait and see on Peterman even though I loved the hire and was shocked that pool boy didn't fuck it up.
But I can't help it - I like what I am reading and hearing about practice, the weight room, and even the OKG recruits. I like Peterman on the videos on the Times. I have a good feeling about this year and beyond. I well..... I (cough) believe? Can I expose my heart to being broken yet again? I think I can. This time he won't beat me up. I think he's changed for real.
Reminds me of the one and only Dawgman Golf tourney before the 2000 season when I played with Ted Miller and a couple of ducks. I was telling Ted that UW was a lock for the Rose Bowl. I just felt it. Ted was a skeptic, new to the area from the SEC and a writer not a fan. His logic made sense but my gut told me different.
It's been a long time but I'm getting the Chris Matthews tingle down my leg about this team and this season. Could be special in a special way not a sarcastic way.

I want to be a doog again.
(Oh, and great work as always Race)
But I agree with you, for whatever reason, I have this feeling that this is going to be a pretty special fall to be a Dawg ... I'm bullish on what I'm seeing and hearing ... when you see so much of what doesn't work it makes it very easy to identify the things that do work and that's Petersen who is a 180 from the loser fuck mentality that so many Washington coaches before him have had.
There's always a team that starts the season ranked somewhere between 20-30 that comes from nowhere and inserts themselves into the National Title picture by the end of the year. A team where everybody looks at and goes "where did they come from" and "how did we not see that." Washington has just about every attribute you'd want to see to be THAT kind of team ... I'm not saying that they will though so stop twisting ... fuck it, go ahead and twist it because I do think that we are THAT kind of team.
ANOTHER JACKASS POST!!!ELEVEN1!!!
You should lurk around and get a feel for the boards. If you have any questions feel free to shoot me a PM because I have this place dialed in.
This isn't the fat wife getting on Jenny Craig and buying new lingerie. This really is a hot new chick.
Petersen wasn't on my list because due to my own battered spouse PTSD, he didn't exist. I never, ever even considered him a candidate. Like many on here, I have created many threadbare spots in my Russell Athletics hoping we had another shot at Coach "Should have used Pie not Cake" Mora.
When I heard Petersen was not only in play, but a done deal out of the blue, I actually laughed it off. Then all of a sudden, it just was. No warning, just done.
This cynical bastard has no where to go. So he's been DFR'ed and replaced by a Poon of legendary proportion. You're absolutely correct. Although there are some similarities, this doesn't feel like LRR. It just doesn't. It always did before. And I gotta admit. It feels really fucking good.
