I wish I had the passion for Husky Football that Chest has. That ship sailed for me in December 2007.

Which is why you have a web site dedicated to the Huskies in the year 2015?DerekJohnson said:I wish I had the passion for Husky Football that Chest has. That ship sailed for me in December 2007.
That ship hasn't sailed, it's just lost its rudder after taking on copious amounts of Patron and slamming into a coral reef. -
Love the passion and podcast from you guys. Thanks for putting in the time on the show. I believe this this team will compete for the Pac-12 North next year provided the offense can take the next step and be just average, and the defense can generate more turnovers and learn to get off the field on 3rd and long.
At the start of the year, everyone thought this was a 6 win team (+/- a win) and unless it goes in the shitter they will be right there.
I'm still in the Chest camp, but if we are having any discussions NEXT year about this offense being still putrid then "houston we have a major problem" with CP as our head coach and I will be giving kudos to Roadie and JC.
Chester, do you think CP should remove Jonathan Smith as oc/playcaller at the end of the year, and will he if the season plays out like it has so far offensively? -
I sat with my dad for the Oregon game. When we would give up a long touchdown pass, I would shout "damn it!" and then shake my head in disappointment.Southerndawg said:

Simultaneously, my 76-year old, mild-mannered dad would be so upset I wondered if he was about to pitch himself over the ledge. He took losing to Oregon very personally. I realized for the 100th time that the extreme level of passion I used to have is not there anymore. Maybe it will come back one day, but it's not there now.

Well, I can only speak for myself. I'm still passionate about the Huskies and at the same time I do find myself numbed by the continual disappointment, so I get what you're saying.DerekJohnson said:

Someone posted regarding the trials and tribulations of the latter Owen's years. Just my take, I agree they were bad, but Sonny Sixkiller and company broke up that stretch, excited the fanbase, and for the most part the Huskies were still mean tough SOB's, win, lose or draw. One could argue that Price and company provided some temporary relief during this current stretch, but it doesn't feel the same to me, especially with the physical and mental weakness this program has had since Neuheisel's latter years, really starting in Miami, 2001. If Petersen can fix that, make these guys physically and mentally tough (and I think he is making progress in that area), then I think we'll see light at the end of the tunnel and the lidocaine will start to wear off.
Anyway, one does not stand up and maintain a website like this without being passionate, particularly now. This stretch from 2003 to current may be the worst for this program in at least 50 years. In fact I'd be curious to hear what your dad has to say on this subject since he's been an adult through many eras. My point being that to stand up and maintain this site now takes thankless work, and one only does that for something they're passionate about. -
I hear you but we're talking slightly different things. It's not just that we've had shit football for over a decade that sapped me of enthusiasm. It was Emmert and Turner doing what they did in December 2007, in bringing back Willingham and spurning Mora.Southerndawg said:

Then seeing Grinolds stab me in the back and sell me down the river, astonished me. Then seeing the petty way the UW athletic department dealt with me on numerous occasions.
I loved the community that HHBv.1 had, though it was doomed to implode. I yearned to get back what was lost, and that drove me, because we didn't have anywhere to go.
Currently, Petersen's shitty offense is bothering me a lot, so there's passion there. But I'm not at the point where I would blow my top against Mike and Kyle on the podcast (a la Chest), because I don't care to that level, if that makes sense.
This website HAS taken a large amount of work and time from me, and it's basically breaking even.
I would love to see how much this site would grow if we actually had a good team. -
When looking at UW's future chances, you also have to look at the rest of the conference. Stanford will likely regress a little bit next year, but they will still be good. Their downfall has been predicted for 3 or 4 years now and it hasn't happened. I don't think anyone can definitively say UW will be better than Stanford next year.
Helfrich is kind of a dumbass, but if Oregon can find anyone to play QB, they will probably have the best offense in the conference. A new DC could obviously pay dividends too. They have the best RB's and skill guys in the conference. USC is close.
Cal is Cal and the Coogs are the Coogs, but those are the teams that are currently UW's peers. Nobody outside of UW fans will be picking UW to win the North next year. They will be picked third, which is basically where we have been the past 5 years. -
