Almost forgot to credit DDY and Coker for being solely responsible for Smalls choosing UW. Zero chance of UW ever getting Smalls without DDY sucking off Joey Thomas for 2 years.
I've been doing some thinking and reading of tea leaves. As I said in another thread, I texted Coker yesterday afternoon and said that we love him and DDY and never mind whatever else, they should come on back to HH... He never responded, but then later that evening I saw his tweet about how much he loves his Twitter Army of doogs.
I thought back to last September, when LMC PM'd me and said he hoped that I could iron out the tensions between me and DDY/Coker. I was totally confused what he was talking about. I texted DDY and asked him about this. He said that there were no issues and that LMC "was probably high LOL"
But a few weeks later in mid November, DDY asked if it was okay if he started posting as Crow T Robot instead of DDY. I told him I didn't care one way or the other. He posted briefly as Robot. He then only posted when he needed to plug his podcast. When I politely called him out on it, he vanished from HH and never posted again.
So in my final analysis, I think Roadie is probably right about Coker and his feelings. His ego got bruised from Hardcore Husky or other issues, and it caused him to withdraw and vow to never return. Coker then asked DDY to not post here anymore. DDY made an ill-fated attempt to stay here by changing his name to Crow T Robot. But finally, he saw that he couldn't play both sides of the fence. DDY's brotherhood with Coker caused him to leave HH as well.
So there you go, that's my take. As much as I've loved those guys, I'm ready to move on.
They’ve both been twatty on the twitter for a bit. Everything to do with the new brand I’m sure.
Don’t forget about ROOTS (horrible movie BTW alleged slavery, total BS)
They leaned in way too hard with the "Pete is racist" stuff, even if some of it was portrayed as tongue in cheek. Quite honestly, Softy, I thought they became enemies of the state. The recruiting board has slowed down for sure with them gone, but that board has also become much more digestible. Not sure then being gone is such a huge loss there. DDY was much more interesting in the Shoppe talking about music and booze.
This. Condoning that Oregon Bullshit narrative played right into UW critics hands. Extremely Rookie move by DDY, politically naive, and confirming a bullshit narrative that hurt the program and played into the hands of the worst old stereotypes, i.e., if you want great players from the ghetto, you need to pimp things up and run a ghetto program.
The program grew stale and Pete was burned out. That's all it ever was. Watching DDY fold like a cheap lawn chair on the fake racism issues sullied his reputation and credibility. Too bad, but some guys just can't stop ramming into trees, no matter what.
I just don’t buy that message boards impact recruiting. Because if they did, the people whose paychecks actually depend on this shit (ie the coaches) would be much more aggressive about trying to moderate their content.
Derek, anyone at UW ever tried to contact you about HH?
