I just gave a quick read to Swaye's introductory announcement for the Truck Stop from like 2018.
Kudos to him. That was somehow informative, ominous, welcoming, off-putting, profane, and classy all at once. You'll get no such quality from the new administration. I linked his post so that, if anyone feels the need to see how a higher level poster and moderator does things, they have that right at their fingertips.
This board moderates itself from what I've seen so I don't expect to have much to do. If it were otherwise I wouldn't have agreed to it. Maybe the odd, drunken post will need moved to the board it was meant for. Maybe you can collectively convince me that every new poster is Damone and I'll ban them. Maybe, when PGOS or someone else comes to the TBS board to announce their disdain for TBSing, I'll tell them to fuck off from a position of authority.
Aside from fuckery of that sort, I'd like my administration to be remembered as one of the greatest ever. A perfect administration. Everyone says so (say so motherfuckers, that's new rule #1).
Aside from brutal enforcement of rule #1, here are a few guidelines that should keep things orderly and reduce the need for a bloodbath of deleted posts and timeouts.
2. Just fuck off and follow the few rules this site has.
3. Tread carefully with the TBS theme. Make sure that aomeone with an IQ over 90, reading the board for the first time, can be reasonably expected to see that this is a HH schtick and nobody here is actually as foul as some like to pretend.
3. If family members of recruits show up here, only treat them like shit if they're really stupid or obnoxious and we don't care about their kid signing with UW. Don't be tone deaf either. Some PSA parents like Papa Brailsford get this place, but most won't. Don't let Hardcore Husky be the cause of someone looking elsewhere. The last thing anyone should want is to insert their influence into the recruiting process. That's for the Twatter fags.
That's about all I can think of.
I don't do Twatter hence you won't be getting cryptic tweets or any other content from X out of me. I'm trying to think about what I like to see on this board, and what I'm willing to put time into, and I'm coming up blank. I like videos and will do my best to compile recruiting highlights from commits or even recruits thought to be looking hard at UW. I like summary posts listing recruiting needs, scholarship trackers, projected landing spots, projected rankings, and other shit like that. I'll try to start making time to generate some content along these lines.
So this is going to be a trial run. If I feel like I'm doing a decent job at helping keep the board active, informative, and enjoyable I could see staying with it for a while. If I find I'm just a lazy fuck who comes here to be spoonfed info (status quo) I'll probably bow out within a couple of months.
Feel free to fuck off, but then also feel free to weigh in on what you think I should use my new powers for. I may have a few of my own ideas after the glow of this historic day wears off.

I cheered.
I propose a password protected thread to share and discuss pictures of recruit's moms.
seconded.
If Fisch has been spotted at local middle schools be sure to let us know!!!11!!
Thanks ChuckHIV!
Fuck off
Not using Twitter means you're the first person to know who just committed over 24 hours after everyone else knows.
Of course, you're also sparing yourself from all the "Jonathon Smith is building a Monster in East Lansing!" and "Dante Moore is going to look so great holding the Natty trophy!" retards.
As well as the "UW is the 2023 national champions!" dipshits.
Yeah the truth is that I'm not a great choice for this position. There could be many reasons that's true, but the big one is that I don't use twitter and that's the front line for recruiting now.
It can still be OK if I decide I'm into it. Others provide the twats and I will find other ways to earn my pay. We'll see.
Derek left me a message yesterday asking if I was okay with Chuck taking the keys to the 82 Buick and revving her up. I said "we have a recruiting bored?" I recall taking this place over as a moderator years ago after the Great Schism. Only to provide some sense of stability. I forgot about the board like 2 years later so I for one welcome our new HIV overlord! I fuck for Chuck!
This reads like a Bob Gregory postgame quote
Harsh but fair.
but can you relate to the young black players?
I read the headline and thought Fish's first name was Chuck, that is how close I follow the Dwags
Charles "Jedd" Fisch is an American football coach, currently the head coach at the University of Washington. (Wikipedia)
Damn - had to look it up, just a fluke that I was right
Ari?
I welcome this new, perfect administration.
Our? corch is a royal Jew who embraces gender neutrality.
Charles
The German boy’s name Charles means “free man.” Charles is a royal name that dates back to the reign of Charlemagne, the first Charles the Great. Ever the well-traveled name, it has graced monarchs in England, France, Spain, Hungary, and Portugal since. Then there are pioneers like Charles Darwin, the father of evolution, and silent-film star Charlie Chaplin. Aviator Charles Lindbergh took the first transatlantic solo flight, and jazz great Charlie Parker helped invent the musical style bebop. This name comes bursting with historical figures to learn from, so if you’re hoping to give baby an education in just two syllables, Charles is a strong contender.
Jedd
Jedd is a masculine name that not only scores handsome bad boy points but also comes steeped in holy significance. Meaning “beloved by the Lord,” Jedd stems from the Hebrew name Jedidiah, a well-known appellation with an adventurous spirit. In the Hebrew Bible, God bestowed the “blessing” name Jedidiah to Solomon through the prophet Nathan. Trapper-explorer Jedediah Strong Smith is renowned for his ventures throughout the American West in the 19th century. Whether baby Jedd will be God’s bestie or an adventurer of the world, this studly name is a worthy contender.
Ari
Ari is a popular gender-neutral name with roots from across the globe. Its Scandinavian origins suggest Ari means “eagle,” while its Hebrew origin means “lion.” In the Badaga language, Ari means “sun-like.” This beautiful title is attractive for its humble melodiousness. Ari can be a nickname for an array of names beginning with “Ar” but shines brightly as a standalone title. Regardless of its origin, Ari will make a stellar name for baby—who can channel the energy of the lion, eagle, and sun whenever they desire.
Having a head coach named Jedidiah is the ultimate church school move
