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. -

Although I am still laughing every time I see the Lawnmower. I laugh to keep from crying, I think.

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.
