My point was not everyone bought it, and those that didn't were marginalized and silenced in the town square.PurpleJ said:
All of that may be true, but let's not act like the issue doesn't exist outside of the confines of the internet.MikeDamone said:
Everyone? Here's the deal. Not everyone.... Some people thought "That's nice, but Sark needs to do something that suggests that is the direction we are heading, and we will be on board".PurpleJ said:
Me neither. In fact, it was a very inspirational quote at the time. One that told everyone how much Sark "got it". A lot of people still buy into that shit, just because he said it back then. It's just an example of how badly everyone wanted to believe in Sark as a savior of the program, and many still do. One of the biggest houses on campus put that quote in front of everyone's faces on a day to day basis, and it was bound to sink in.DerekJohnson said:Unto itself, I don't have a problem with the above quote. It was time to get back to that stuff. The problem, of course, is that he bullshitted his way into the position and had never run a team before.
What happened next? FREE PUB! at the Rose Bowl with USC and a bunch more talk about "getting it", breath of fresh air...yadda yadda
Those of us who had seen the same irrational exuberance over Gilby (return to tuff Husky football) and Ty (Molder of men), thought maybe rather than lather..rinse..repeat, we would wait to see if an unproven hire (after we were led to believe a bigger name hire was going to be made) would be worth a shit.
Sharing that opinion on dm.com led to being attacked. Being attacked led to fighting back and eventually mocking the doogs for blindly buying the bullshit for the 3rd time in a row. I was perma-banned on 2/3/2009, essentially for shitting on the Sark parade and saying that we've been here before and should be skeptical until proven otherwise. (That and not being funny after 23 times, being 5% as creative as Race, and a little bit of my act going a long ways and getting way past a little)
4 years later, that proof hasn't come in any meaningful way.
My point was that we one of the biggest frats on campus was putting that quote out there from the beginning, and barking all over campus about how great Sark was going to be, before his tenure had even begun. Just. Like. Dawgman. It is no coincidence that the Betas had Sark and other UW admins giving speeches at their house. It is no coincidence that they are one of the big money houses on campus.
All I am saying is that Kim and pals are a symptom, not a root cause. I'm just giving you another example of a symptom. It is the marketing approach to propping up our football program that pisses me off so much, and that happens on all fronts. You don't need to pump up a coach in order to boost ticket sales, you need a coach that can pump up the program with the product on the field.
1. They can't afford Seattle.
End of list.

can't afford to live in seattle so you get to choose between:
Everett, Tacoma, Puyallup, Lacey, etc. -

I just love after that clip we immediately give up a long KOR for the loss. Just really sums up the Sark era in a nutshell.DerekJohnson said:Although I am still laughing every time I see the Lawnmower. I laugh to keep from crying, I think.

plus Tacoma's a little dark for my taste. -
When I graduated UW, I had 3 months remaining on a lease in Seattle. Paid off the 3 months just to move out of that shit hole. Hope that helps, shit for brains.TheGlove said:

It's a "nice place to visit", though.

Lol this, people who think Tacoma > Seattle are the same people who probably still think Sark is Pool Boy.He_Needs_More_Time said:

I grew up in Seattle ( mid 30's you can do the math). It was a cool place until 1995 give or take. nowadays its cool if you're a rich vegan fag (75 k)/dykebi who loves orange slices, abstract art, fat pasty white hipsters with beards, traffic circles, and people who have an obsession with emulating San Francisco.

Found it, listening now. That's how I felt and what I recall others expressing on various sites. No matter how you slice it, the Sark hire was an unnecessary reach.DerekJohnson said:
If you've got an hour to kill, go listen to the HHB podcast "Introducing Random Coach" in December 2008. You'll see what the general sentiment was in real time, recorded the day Sark was hired.Southerndawg said:
*********** is right. Not everyone was thrilled with the hire. In fact I think many were at least initially disappointed. After a decent showing against LSU and then beating USC, I think a lot of folks were starting to believe there may be light at the end of the tunnel. But then losses started mounting, many of which were due to game day errors by the best play caller in the country and doubts crept back in.MikeDamone said:

By now it should be clear to anyone with half a brain (or more) that the odds of this guy really turning things around are slim at best. Face it, O-line recruiting has pretty much blown since he's been here and last year the offense was generally terrible ... and yet, not one coach of consequence on that side of the ball was fired OR replaced. That in itself is telling.
We'll see what happens this year, but I expect more of the same. Some decent performances at home followed by shitting all over themselves on the road and the obligatory three or so plunger rapings.
BTW, 20/20 hindsight, iDawg lost that Carroll debate. Race was right, Pete Carroll is great football coach. -
Sark cares more about the zoo than he does winning championships.
-
Looking at how quickly Pete turned around the Seahawks and how all his assistants have bombed when they don't have him around it shows what a great coach he is.Southerndawg said:

For the Seahawks though he didn't feature flash though. He built a defense and a tough running game. He was able to turn that mess around in just three years.
We are in year five of Sark and still doesn't get it. -
