Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Spring ball is here, water is wet, and Kent Griswold is pathetic

The CEO took time from his busy day being CEO and wrote a piece for his public yesterday called "5 Takeaways from Spring Football".

His first 4 were comments on several UW players similar to the lame analysis you would find anywhere (Buddha is more experienced this year, it's a 3-man race at qb, etc.)

Then you have the 5th takeaway, which, of course, both a self promotional ploy, and a backhanded slap at the current coaching staff.

"Husky football has completely lost it's relevance" lamented the CEO. KJR is talking about March Madness, Seattle Mariners baseball, and NFL draft but hardly a mention of husky football this time a year. The "winning cures all" tag is lame and tired. UW needs to reach out to local media (I wonder who he could be referring to?) and market itself to the fans. There's no excuse for not using the resources they have (ahem) to broaden their audience.

Of course it's been this way for the last 15 years but the CEO wanted to make it very clear that there is a huge disconnect right now (hmmm what could have changed in the last couple years?) between those running the program and the fans.

    I pointed out that Kim would've nuked all this talk if sark were at the helm and got a timeout.


    Anybody ever think Kim looks like the dead British guy from the bathroom in The Shining?

    It's not a shot at the staff, he's setting up the narrative for why the site is in decline. Also, how can you have "5 takeaways from Spring Football" after 1 day of Spring Football?

    Well what would you expect from a 5-4 140 pound 55 year old ex male cheerleader from BYU who graduated in 78?

    Kin is trying his best

    Maybe you should stop acting like a jackass and cancel your subscription.

    Also, LEAVE!

    When KJR had the Huskies, they promoted them way more. Kim, you dumbass.

    I'm using someone else's account, thus providing no material support to the fucks.

    Re: The Shining, it's the butler looking chap who killed his family. Some pasty Kim pic from recently looked exactly like that guy.

    Waiting for the script "why are so many here obsessed with doogman" post.

    Also waiting for Beezlebub Kim to downvote every post that shits on Kim him or Sark.

    FTFY.

    I agree with Ken on one thing and that is that the UW marketing department is a fucking joke and has been since I enrolled there in 02, if not longer. I didn't pay attention to marketing tactics when I was a kid I just loved the dawgs. While the simple solution to it all would be attempting to put a winner on the field, there's no denying that the athletic department sucks major donkey dick. The gameday experience is terrible, marketing and creating buzz is pathetic (crazy larry) and there is a huge disconnect between the AD and fans. But Kim insinuating that it's somehow Peterman's fault...he can go fuck himself with his 4" dick. Because despite what he says, he knows that it's not. For years, people have been lamenting the horrible gameday experience, lack of appreciation for the fans, their inability to create buzz in the community, etc. And I've seen plenty of poasts on the CEO's bored about this over the years. Except that when sark was the coach, when someone would make a similar point, Griswold would either a) Delete the poast before anyone could see it, (b) tell you to kick your dog, (c) tell you to stomp your foot, (d) tell you to take a long walk to gain some perspective or (e) "you might want to step away from the keyboard for a while." Option (a) was the overwhelming favorite of KJV but in the rare case one would slip through the cracks, options b-e were usually combined (except when discussing the deterioration of his weird sexual fetish with the dawg pack and this Akita fag). He wouldn't even acknowledge that a problem existed when they were running crazy larry ads and sark was embarking on his memorable run of 7 win seasons while attendance continued to dwindle.

    Yet Peterman has only been here one season and all of a sudden something that's been apparent for the better part of 15 years has gone from non-existent and ridiculing/censoring those who dare breach the subject, to full-fledged disaster. And this while insinuating that the new coach is somehow a major reason for the problems he refused to admit even existed 16 months ago? As I said, the CEO can go fuck himself. His power trips and egomaniacal behavior is embarrassing. And his obsession with taking passive-aggressive jabs at the new coach, censoring those who disagree with him yet still zealously defending the 5-year coach with annual 3 game losing streaks, 4 blowout losses per year, who never won more than 5 games in conference, left a team with no depth/holes up and down the roster to his replacement and widely known character issues to boot is not only pathetic, but transparent and wreaks of desperation.

    When is the UW AD going to go the way of WIAA and cut off this midget's access to the program? He does far more harm than good and his obvious agenda is obvious to everyone over the age of 12 (or with the equivalent IQ of someone over the age of 12...hence pdf, huskylawyer, terry dell, krisvashon s14aFS, etc. still paying $120 a year). I would like nothing more than to see that happen. Not only because he deserves to be cut off. But also because observing the CEO transform from his current downward spiral of being a disheveled, delusional, paranoid, predictable enemy of the program with little dick disease and inferiority complex simply because he no longer has a fellow alcoholic coach in power to make him feel important by giving him little nuggets of irrelevant info...into full blown meltdown mode while his once great website finally goes under would be pure entertainment gold.

    If he was just a harmless idiot without the most disproportionate ego relative to height in the entire world who genuinely thought that sarkdashian was the greatest football coach that ever lived...fine. I would still make fun of him for his stupidity, but all he would be is an equally irrelevant fucktard good for a few belly laughs once in a while. But his out of control ego, temper tantrums, outright lies, manipulation, censoring of dissenting opinion and his agenda-driven crusade against the current coach for no logical reason while pretending to be impartial is too much. What a worthless piece of shit.

    TL;DR version - Kim is a fucktard

    WIAA? I thought they crashed and burned after losing the almighty support of *******.com? Are you saying they still exist?
