OK!DerekJohnson said:On November 26, 2012, Hardcore Husky launched. Both incarnations of the Husky Half Brains sites had been shut down and there was a group of us that were homeless Ronin roaming the UW countryside. We wanted to create a place that we could call home. We were also thoroughly disgusted by the arrogance of Dawgman's Kim Grinolds and wanted to be the bane of his existence. Finally, we wanted to be an entity that would hold UW accountable to a high standard of football, when we felt no one in the media was doing so.
We came very, very close to naming ourselves Operation Husky. We had a logo that featured a periscope view from Lake Washington trained upon Husky Stadium. But at the last minute, Stalin opted for Hardcore Husky.
Actually, I wasn't called Stalin until a couple years later. I announced to the board something like we were no longer going to have signatures, and APAG (TheKobeStopper) said "It's getting to be like Nazi Germany around here." One thing led to another, and suddenly I was given the nickname Stalin.
Eight years later, all three of our goals have been reached. We have a home that we enjoy. We surpassed Dawgman in traffic about three years ago and from our vantage point watched them become irrelevant and no longer something we think much about. And we have certainly annoyed UW through the years but also have given voice to fans that want to hold UW to high winning standards. When a former player reported to me that he had been in Jen Cohen's office and Hardcore Husky was on her computer screen, that made my day.
So to the basement-dwelling incels who make this place what it is, thank you. Here's to another eight years.

Thanks for putting this cesspool together Derek. Gives me a place to waste my days as an unemoyable looser.

Ditto.

Anyone ever wonder what they could have achieved in life if Derek didn't make this place and suck 6 hours a day of life into the toilet for 8 years?

Nothing would be changed with me.Swaye said:Anyone ever wonder what they could have achieved in life if Derek didn't make this place and suck 6 hours a day of life into the toilet for 8 years?

In all seriousness I often do. I’d probably be healthier, have a boyfriend, gotten a promotion, maybe taken up an actual hobby, and be happy.Swaye said:Anyone ever wonder what they could have achieved in life if Derek didn't make this place and suck 6 hours a day of life into the toilet for 8 years?
But being miserable in my parents’ basement works too. -
My kill:death ratio on Call of Duty would definitely be higher if I hadn’t wasted so many hours here.Swaye said:Anyone ever wonder what they could have achieved in life if Derek didn't make this place and suck 6 hours a day of life into the toilet for 8 years?

Of course they auto renew; in the great Irish tradition, you actually have to tell them to fuck off and cancel the renewal.pawz said:

After the third tim, and missing the call-in window by 30m, I disputed the charge on my CC. It worked and my account went *poof*DawgsCanDance said:
