I guarantee that 81% of people that have read the "take the gloves off" rant have absolutely no clue what it was targeted at.
If you think I supported Ty coming back for Year 4 you are clueless. I was adamant about him being fired halfway through Year 3 ... when Turner played his cards with the NAACP and threatening funding down in Olympia, I did recognize the fact that politically Emmert had little choice but to bring Tyrone back and waste a year.
The thing about recruiting is that you should never get too excited about any of the kids until they actually submit their LOIs and then really not get super excited until they get into camp. As soon as recruiting becomes about a specific player you are already in serious trouble. -

Emmert is indefensible.
Take the gloves off is indefensible.
Just own it, and laugh at your doogy self (like Coker above re: Gilby) and everyone would move on.
We're all doogs to some degree. The worst doogs are the ones who aren't self aware. -

Yeah, I quooked after the natty appearance. You fuckers should try one. They're like cocaine, but legal.
Let's not forget those among us who wanted Ty to get that fourth season. I mean,yeah, I was one of them but still.
Or those who beat their meat at the St Tosh Day Massacre.
I've never been anything but LIFPO about Lyles-Taggart, although he seems to be a pretty good recruiter. But I don't really know shit about recruiting. Clearly.
I was very anti-Helfrich in Y1, but I felt like I had to give him his props for Y2. Y3 it was clear that unless he has an all-conference QB he can't do shit, and oh yeah, Pellum. Y4 I was actively rooting for Owen Twelve.
OTOH! Tequilla authored the "take the gloves off" rant, and regularly tells us about how he THINKS and CARES about teen bois. He's not Iron Laws Doog, but he's damn close.
If Helfrich got UW to the title game, this bored would be in doog orbit even more than it is now.

Wait, the Taki Tiki meet up was real? I always assumed you guys were kidding about that...CokeGreaterThanPepsi said:
I've never seen someone quook as much as you did at the taki tiki, I remember you talking about how helfrich will be better than Chip because he actually recruits, unlike Chip. And you talked about how there would be no end in site to the streak.AZDuck said:Taggart wins or he's fired. On the other hand, you'll always be a Doog.
I just felt this needed to be said, I still love you. -

What I was pissed off about with respect to Race's position at the time (and still to this day believe) is that the destruction of UW Football was all at the feet of Emmert ... it started way before Emmert ever got on campus ...
There was also this idea that Woodward was very culpable as well when during the entire Tyrone fiasco Woodward was nowhere near the AD and would have never had the authority to make the move as an interim AD ...
Emmert's been a disaster at the NCAA and clearly his imprint on UW Athletics wasn't great ... his imprint on the UW as a whole probably a little better.
Woodward was an average at best AD that was made to look better than he was given the dreck that came before him.
What I don't own is when people twist the narrative of what I write and the context it was written in ... particularly when they omit key facts of the comments such as Emmert above, my pre-2013 season assessment of the talent on the UW team and what Sark needed to achieve to prove that he was the coach going forward (full well knowing that the odds that he reached that level was slim to none). But when those key facts are omitted, what comes out of it is that I'm saying that Sark would do that in 2013 ... which isn't what I said at all.

COOK IT?BallzDeep said:
Nah, currently the actual Doogs are reminding other UW fans about Oregon's previous success and predicting Taggart to win 8 or 9 games his first season. A non-Doog like myself can see that Oregon's defense will be atrocious again.AZDuck said:Taggart wins or he's fired. On the other hand, you'll always be a Doog.
They have one good defensive lineman. ONE! on their entire roster! And it ain't that fat little pig Jordan Scott. Then you go to LB and they have ONE good LB. Then you go to their secondary and they have ONE DB who's allegedly good and he's a true Freshman so how good is he really?
On top of that Slick Willie has promised these true Freshman coming in early playing time. What's that going to do to team chemistry when the veteran players on defense realize Taggart wants to replace them with Freshman as soon as possible? What's going to happen when it becomes clear Oregon will be fighting just to make a bowl game at the end of the season. Nah man, it's gonna be ugly, again.
You're a total Quook if you're expecting more than 6 regular season wins. -
I would hope nobody here (including Duck fans) think Oregon won't be getting plunger raped this season by UW. They will.BallzDeep said:

The thread was about Oregon's current recruiting class.
