    There is no threat of the true doogs coming over here, lol. Its middle of the road people who've become fed up with Kim's BS & censoring and frustration over Sark (especially as of the last two losses).

    Kim is self-righteous and narcissistic. He will never admit any wrong-doing or fault. Case in point, now is his chance too and he comes up with that BS that its only what he's hearing, etc. That is going to be the downfall of Dawgman. Admit mistakes & fault and you'll gain more respect over time. Kim's crowd will diminish over time.

    Basnight (Rivals) and Ruth (Realdawg) have both seen what happens when you start making an ass of yourself. With dawgman, however, it's different because they are the only game in town at this point. Kim knows he can be king douche because people have nowhere else to go if they want to follow recruiting and have somewhat rational discussion about the team. Put a recruiting board, a basketball board, and an off topic board on this site, add a gameday thread, and turn the repeated inside jokes from 5 years ago down a tad and watch Kim's Empire fall

    I would love to see Kim's empire fall, but I don't think this place is going to be the one that destroys dawgman. This place is like a Quentin Tarantino movie. HH is too bloody and vulgar for the PG crowd at dawgman.

    The Dawgman crowd doesn't want to watch Pulp Fiction. They would rather watch Shrek 4. While Pulp Fiction is the better movie, Shrek 4 made more money because the drugs, sex and violence of Pulp Fictions is too much for some people. The HH crowd prefers to let loose with hookers, cheap liquor, and blow. The dawgman crowd likes to have 2 beers at the Dub Pub or a glass of wine at Vino's and go home.

    It'll never happen. Never. They are so delusional with their own perceived stature, that suggesting some "modesty" and "contriteness" is like speaking a foreign language to them. Even when you specifically point out where they're wrong, kim's mind has been programmed to think you're "just being a jerk." kim has a classic Napoleon (Bonaparte) complex, minus the tangible victories, of course.

    Example: kim was actually convinced near signing day that thomas tyner (5-star RB from oregon) might sign with UW. I have a law school classmate that lives in oregon in the same area as the tyner family, and he assured me there was NO WAY that tyner was going anywhere but "white trash u" (oregon). I told kim that he was way off, and he ABSOLUTELY TORE INTO ME: "Have you spoken with tyner's father? NO." "Do you know that his father is afraid to fly? NO."

    He completely lost his mind and - surprise surprise - told me that I was just being a jerk.

    Pure lunacy.

    You'd think that....

    1. Humiliation
    2. Humiliation
    3. Humiliation

    would lead to humility after awhile.

    Derek, could you be missing the point of Kim Grinald's What I'm Hearing agenda? The basis for KG's What I'm Hearing along with the radio programs and current flavor of content in his Sports Washington magazine have for some time now led me to believe that it has less to do with obsessions such as what's happening to Oregon as it does with a concerted effort by the Dm.c staff to get absolute control of their product. Could What I'm Hearing just as well be What I'm Saying is what you Dm.c customer must accept on my message boards or else take a hike and good riddance?

    Ever since Husky Football went in the tank in Summer 2003 and perhaps a little before, it seems to me that most of the complaints on Dm.c boards have been about the venting posted by so-called nega-Dawgs (we all know who we are) rather than the poor quality of performance by our football program. Dm.c had to ride it out while Husky Football continued to slide under Gilby and Tyrone, but with the hiring of Sark and the program turning around from 0-12 to near .500 the past four seasons, Dm.c management and staff appear to have decided to clean-up what they have and promote the product they want to sell: mediocre to above average football, mostly positive vibe with only lightweight negativism if any, and a glamorous new stadium to hype as more important than The game on the field.

    Some things which we may prefer to play with such as DFI are just too difficult for an inexpert amateurish small-time Internet enterprise to deal with and to stay alive, they must find another swamp to swim in or an alternate tundra to woof on. All this likely would now be mute had 1991 and 2001 been preserved as it should have been.

    it's pretty clear that Husky football is a depreciating asset (despite the 'hot ticket' spin the intern cum AD expounds to the friendlies in the media). As the fanbase has split into 2 divergent factions, Dmc had to choose one to address as its target market. They chose the doogs. It's okay with me.
