    A bone to pick with Chest: If UW wins 8 this year it's because of the OOC schedule and nothing else. Going 5-4 with Wilcox is no better than going 5-4 with Holt.

    If we are going to use the advanced metrics against Sark then when have to be fair. Right now both SRS & Sagarin have UW in the top 20. The schedule right now is top 5 and that will finish lower, probably around 30. If UW goes 8-4 it will be in the top 25 of these rankings which would be a huge jump from the last 4 years. Thats the only pro-Sark argument anyone can make, however my point is that jump is 95% because of Wilcox.

    To be totally fair, if UW goes 8-4 this year then the metrics will finally match the record. Sark's W/L have been above metric for several years, no?

    One of your nine listeners here; Being somewhat out of the loop on inside info (this was the first I'd heard of the Army AA Party Bus incident) - what are some other instances of sark's 'frat boy' behavior? Nice to have these anecdotes to help argue for his firing for the people who cant be bothered to look up his W-L's on wikipedia.

    Your best effort. Stats, profanity, humor. Well done.

    Have you guys tried to promote the podcast? Tweet it to condotta, Jude, etc? I know Condotta linked to a HH article once. You'd figure "New Husky Football Podcast" would get some love from uwdawgpound & husky haul & Softy (as long as he doesnt listen to it) & whomever.

    I've tweeted it to a few people. Excluding our Dawgman rant which made it to Scout, our ASU post-game podcast was a record and was about twice the listenership as other podcasts. I'm also posting on UWDawgPound and will tweet it directly to some people.

    Spoonie, check the other threads on this site. There is one from yesterday that documents some of Sark's transgressions.

    A very good and mostly relevant rantcast chunked full of fun stuff about the not so funny.

    One thing I believe you all should have a better clue about by now is the obvious fact that Huskyfans and especially boosters, regardless of their individual or collective football intelligence or addiction to frontrunning,.... are not fucking responsible for the quality, good or bad, of what we see from our football team on Saturdays. And if you really think the deep pockets supporting Husky Football are going to do something affective about what's happening to our football program and somehow get it turned around, how can you explain or rationalize what happened to us twenty long years ago, and again in Summer 2003? Think about this for a minute, is the typical UW booster-fan a Tailgater..... or a Phil Bleener?

    After skipping the Oregon game which was kind of tough to do given how the Sarkies competed at Stanford, I have decided to travel over and join my crew for the CAL game. I haven't yet detected any excitement anticipating the nighttime football we can expect to see in Husky Stadium, but a party is forming for family and friends in E1. For me, a home game with CAL regardless of kick-off time or season records is traditional and the Bears by now have to be hungry for some glory. Above all perhaps, I'm curious to see if the Sarkies are as bad as they looked on TV in Tempe. Renewal time is coming soon and it's shaping up to be another tough decision.

    For this team to go 5-4 in conference they'd have to beat either Oregon State or UCLA on the road.

    Sark has never defeated a good coach or a good QB on the road. I was confused by the 8 win talk myself.

    My thoughts exactly. 6-6, 7-5 seem far more likely, unless the team completely quits on him over the next two games, then we're looking at 4-8 or 5-7.

    I thought this was a family podcast - sure is a lot of foul language in this one
