Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Dumbest TBS myth on Dawgman
The facial reaction when recruits talk about a school. Doogs over there over the years have tried to gauge recruits' enthusiasm for UW by watching their response when talking about certain schools. Based off of their analysis, Myles Jack, Fozzy, and now IPM is all UW because their "face lit up" when they talked about UW. God I hate the idiots on that site.

I knew Fozzy was all Stanford just from reports from his reaction during the beatdown UW gave Stanford.
He had a "confused" look.
That suggested he was all Stanford but realized that the environment, team performance and the love from the fans shouting his name was something to seriously consider.
What UW could not overcome was the Stanford resurgence to have a good season. UW never lost what they never had.
If Stanford totally imploded there was a chance.
Moving on...
But with the video game thing. I think it was more people annoyed with Sark. As the HC, you pick a host for each visitor who you think will bond well with the specific recruit and show them a good time. And keep in mind this was before they had the cardboard "Pete" in the shellhouse. So once Sark found out they weren't allowed to use smoke in the tunnel, he was at a loss. And far too often you would hear kids say "we went for a steak and kinda hung out playing video games." Maybe Sark didn't want any 17 year old competition but if Louisville can hire hookers, he can at least pretend like UW has good parties
