Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Throwing “the dubs” up.

Am I the only one who rolls his eyes at people making the “dub” signal with their hand? I think it’s so stupid.
In my day, if you threw up that sign it was strictly about west coast rap. Then it got absorbed somewhere during the dumb sark era. I realize it’s forever a part of the progrum and it’s probably good for marketing…but does anybody else think it sucks as much as I do?🤔

Your pretend thumbs downs suggests that you do☝️☝️
Agree 100%. But as with the white helmets, sometimes you can't fight city hall.
i throw dubs up in about every photo I'm in, UW related or not
I mean as an east coaster it encompasses all of it. West coast, Washington, winners win.
as an old man, throwing dubs up is fucking retarded
I only make a “W” with my fingers when eating a club burger with cheese.
I threw my dubs up and a drive by shooting broke out
Even at a funeral for a loved one?
Eugene Wallmart?
If I could still use the cross out feature I'd cross out "club burger" and replace it with "… when eating a crispy eggplant parmesan sandwich"
Our marketing has much greater problems than a throwback gang sign.
Honestly, it felt like it came up during Oregon's run as an answer to the vagina symbol they do with their hands.. Right around the time that we? got shiny mirror helmets and Sarkesian was bending over for Chip. Seemed like Washington FB was the least cool thing in the world at that time, with old people like me who don't like anything to change yelling at everyone to get off my lawn, and Sark and his legion of followers (and lest we forget, he had a fucking legion of followers that pied piper mf'er) were ushering in a new era of cool.
So, I basically associate it with Sark. I can tell you definitively as a graduate of the class of 1990 and having attended my first game to watch Charles White and USC, before the north side erector set existed, I never saw anybody do that thing with their fingers.
Personally, I don't do things like that. I don't throw up the U either. Beneath me. All of it. I wear a Husky hat to games, maybe talk a little shit depending on who's with me for backup, and that's about it.
"Winners win" might've been my favorite saying this last year. I could do without the Dubs Up stuff, but my drunk self would disagree.
Bunch of bigots in here hate equal opportunity fandom for our deaf frens.
I've never liked "Go Dawgs" or "Dawgs" at all. Another thing that sounds you're a doog version of DuckZone503.
It's "huskies". There's a million college teams called the "Bulldogs" including the fag one on the east side. Own having a great mascot that is only copied by 2 other schools (that suck at football).
A they don't put fucking german shepherds and snickerdoodles on the Iditarod for Christ's sake.
The old school unexploded stadium side to side cheer was
GO
HUSKIES
Not Dawgs
Vanilla edit to unexploded
Kept it for Bazey
My usually quiet and reserved dad always got into that GO HUSKIES cheer
I thought Dawgs was always good as an "alt name" due to the W in the middle. DAWGS in the middle of the helmet is an underrated part of our uniforms.
