How would you define doog?

The word is expressly prohibited on UWDP and has its roots in the great Dawgman purge. Although it seems everyone defines it differently.

Derek defines it in our glossary thread as follows:

An alleged Husky fan who is obsessed with Oregon. Would like to see Oregon lose as much (or more than) seeing Washington win. The UW equivalent of a Coog.

It's also over-the-top excitement for anything that is currently happening in the program, regardless of what it is. Kick ass pressers, FREE PUB!, incremental progress, best recruiter in the nation, best assistants in the nation, molder of men, five tough questions, no rap music at practice, rap music at practice, finally a coach with discipline, finally players coach, Gilby/Ty/Sark is a breath of fresh air....

I don't entirely agree. I always thought of doogs as the angry militant pollyanna types who would attack anyone who questioned the AD, questioned the coaching, had standards that weren't being met, etc etc. Someone like Section14aFS. Someone who posted fallacious arguments like "why don't you put the headset on then big guy if coaching is so easy" or "we were 0-12 five years ago and you expect us to come within 30 points of Oregon? You aren't a true Husky fan." I didn't always think being a doog and being a homer were the same things, although their creative lines did blur at times.

Anyone who reads doog poundin in the roundin is a doog.

This is the official definition:

An alleged Husky fan who is obsessed with Oregon. Would like to see Oregon lose as much (or more than) seeing Washington win. The UW equivalent of a Coog.

The other characteristics often overlap though.

A Doog is a Washington fan who is a Cuog.

The most important thing to these people is to lower standards to avoid disappointment. At all costs.

Instead of rooting for signing 5-stars, they say their 2-stars are just as good! Instead of being critical of the coaches, they say 'you try it! it's not so easy' (same for players, although I NEVER bash the players). Instead of saying 'Oregon won' it's 'Oregon cheated'.

They become more obsessed with their hated CHEATING rivals than themselves, because (as a product of lowering standards) they become obsessed with their CHEATING rivals and they want standards to be brought down to their level. Everything else becomes UNFAIR!

Doogs these days HATE Oregon (I don't) and view them as our MAIN RIVAL (how?). They apologize for the Cuogs (this is because they intuitively know the Cuogs use their logic, so they don't hate the Cuogs and their low standards like they should).

They loved Sark because he was the ultimate Doog coach: there are no real standards, but we know he's better than Ty. He let them keep their low standards and hatred of everything with high standards while winning some and providing excitement. Doogs love excitement because they are dumb.

This is why Doogs don't like Pete very much: he ruins all their narratives. This is why Doogs have to credit Sark for SOME of Pete's success (even though it's obvious he contributed nothing to it).

Doogs HATE Ty (although they loved him when he was here until '08) because they can't figure out it was already fucked under Gilby and they want to blame an outsider (Doogs are dumb like that).

Doogs ended up hating Neuheisel because they could blame another outsider (I hate Neu, too).

Doogs are people who instead of wanting greatness, prefer mediocrity because they are unsure greatness is achievable and it hurts them to admit it. They become bitter because they lack confidence in general about the world. And they should all be shot. Along with Cuogs.

That's pretty much correct, a doog is a UW coog.

Those were the Posidawgs who battled with the Negadawgs back in the dark ages of Gilby and Ty. The term died off around 2008 with the end of Ty and the era of the Doog started with Sark in 2009

it seems like the meaning has morphed over the years but boobs coined it right?

Now most opposing fans (and some Huskies) will just fling it as a general insult without really knowing the context of it.

Softy started the Doog movement when Oregon played in the Seattle Bowl. It just took @tindal22 a few years to coin the term.

Stated simply, a doog is a Dawg who thinks like a Coog.

I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced within that shorthand description [doog]; and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly doing so. But I know it when I see it.

I often ponder this very question

Oregon is our main rival. WSU is a joke.

You lying fuck j. You never played sports.

Oregon is our NW rival. The hate is there on both sides. Both programs have had success.

WSU is not a rival. They suck ass. Then they make claims about how Oregon has dominated us to refute this point, as if it's even close to the same situation. Aggy schools are just happy to be Power 5. They are no ones rival.

SC is our true rival, and really the rival of the entire conference. I don't care if the feeling is mutual or not. They are the team you want to beat 17-12 in their own empty stadium.

At first glance I thought that was Bob Hope.

A doog is anybody that listens to KJR

I believe it's the Pacific Northwest version of the VFL (Vol For Life) that calls anyone with expectations and criticisms a "Negavol"

Statements like "the coaches are at practice we aren't" define the species, and they love "state run radio" where university approved hosts have call in shows

They often "hang up and listen"
