Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
"If you don't have steak, you'd better have sizzle."
Back when I was a dumbfuck dm.c subscriber, Grinolds used to repeat this idiom a lot. Especially during the Gilbertson and Willingham eras, when UW had neither. Then along came Sarkisian, who had lots of sizzle: Open practices, kick-ass pressers, spring "flings," active twatter feeds, and a backwards-ballcap attitude that recruits allegedly liked. Oh, and bullshit like this:
If there is one thing to learn from the Sarkisian era, it is this: Fuck sizzle. None of that shit matters. Either you've got steak or you don't.
Can you imagine Saban concerning himself with "sizzle?" Or d'Antonio? Or Tressel? Or Harbaugh? Or even Chip? Like those guys, Petersen doesn't give a fuck about sizzle. He's a steak man.
