When I interviewed Todd Turner, he kept calling me "man" or saying "man" repeatedly.creepycoug said:
I read "bud" in that context to mean, "quit bugging me about shit you don't understand and fuck off."RaceBannon said:The more I go back to the bud line the more cunty it sounds. She was probably trying to be cute but that doesn't always translate to the written word

Bunch of malarkey.

THIS! We all know hiring a Coach is a complete crapshoot most of the tim, and that they will fail 4 out of 5 tims. But places like Bama just keep sweeping them out until they strike gold. No mercy. We play grab ass with a 7-5 guy for years on end. We do not have the will to win. We have the will to be mediocre.RaceBannon said:
Recency bias would give SC credit for a couple of natties this centurycreepycoug said:
No sport suffers from recency bias quite like college football. And no fanbase does it better than the DWAGs!YellowSnow said:

Not looking solely at this season. Looking at the history of this program in the past 30 years...Canadawg said:
Improve? You mean win a natty? Not every year is going to be your best year and this was never going to be it. The fact that anyone is making judgments on this season is ridiculous with covid new hc oc and qb with a young lineup. All that and we lost 1 game to a decent teamPurpleBaze said:
But we? failed to improve upon that. Never mind losing the big bowl games. Losing conference games, often to the same teams multiple years in a row doesn't help with building any kind of momentum for the program. Wins get fans excited. Wins also bring recruits.Canadawg said:
We were in the playoff FOUR years ago. Its possible to look at a situation objectively without doogingPurpleBaze said:Thanks for sharing.
Total disconnect from the AD on all fronts... They are not going to lift a finger unless there's a huge drop-off in doogs buying season tickets and merchandise. They are very much business-minded about the whole thing and just living in the moment. They don't even treat Oregon like a rival, as they have emotionally detached themselves from that concept. They've enjoyed the doogdom that lives within many of our fans, because of the success in the 80's and early 90's. That won't last long as old doogs will eventually die off or they'll get jaded and walk away (which is what happened to me). There's only so much of mediocre play and losing to the same teams (Cal, Stanford, & Oregon) in the same stupid fashion a fan can take. It's obvious that the AD doesn't hold the coaches accountable.
The UW AD surrendered a long time ago. Years ago, on doogman, there was discussion of the Marinerization of Husky football. Well, the process is complete. Competing for championships is hard and it also raises expectations. Why bother with that. It's hard! As long as your fanbase keeps spending their money on tickets, replica jerseys, and donations, all is well. Just enough revenue to keep things running.
Quite honestly, I have many other things I can spend my money on and they are all a hell of a lot more fun than Husky football. Detaching myself from this program has also been good for my psyche.
Fuck this team, fuck the AD, fuck the upper campus, fuck Seattle, and fuck King County. We'll never have the type of championship caliber football team that we expect with the clownshow "leadership" on all levels.
The "oh well, we went out there and tried hard" feeling that comes from the coaches and the AD is tiresome.
There's a mediocre/loser mentality that permeates UWAD.
As went Mike Lude & Don James, so did accountability and the will to win.
It's fucking over! It's been over coming up on 30 years. The upper campus can't stomach a winning football team.
Yet we've still had some really good runs at times.
Alabama - mediocre from 1983 to 2008 with the exception of beating @creepycoug in 1992.
Ohio State - No Natty from 1969 to 2001. Lost to Michigan like 9 years straight.
Notre Dame - not really elite from 1992 on. Last Natty in 1988. Could this be the year for @GrundleStiltzkin ? Prolly not.
USC - lol.
And the subject was conference titles and USC has some every decade like our DAWGS only more of them. SC won natties in the 60's, 70's and oughts. They dominated the Pac 10 with UW in the 80's and 90's
Then they hired Carroll
What schools like Bama did was fire the fuck out of everyone that did not win big. David Shula went 10-2 then got fired after losing 5 games the next year. Then Bama hire Saban

If the roles were reversed, Oregon would have found a way to play in the title game

My ticket rep called me today, seemingly to take my temperature about whether or not I'm renewing my tickets. Was too much of a fag to yell at her about the CCG; what purpose would it serve to abuse some nice lady working her job?
I am among those who care too much about seat priority points, even though those were only good enough to get me nosebleeds in the endzone at the Rose Bowl. Would me angrily cancelling my Husky Heritage tickets with a sternly worded letter get a response from someone higher than my sales rep? Probably. But, would it move the needle? I'm certain it wouldn't, when the mega-donors/upper campus seem to be fine with the status quo. -
Honestly that reads like a candid response. Agree or not, kudos to Jen for not giving you canned bullshit.MakaDawg said:

This is exactly where I come down. Covid has thrown a wrench in everyones' plans. Nobody has a blueprint for this.NoWarningJustDawg said:I said this to a few of you months ago:
The same shit is happening everywhere, but when people aren't actually sick it gets swept under the rug...in programs and conferences that care about football.
If you're telling me our OL is in the hospital? JFC, obviously no game. But if it's being asymptomatic, and contract tracing is fuckin your team...real football schools know how to take care of it.
...that just isn't UW. In retrospect, it's a big part of why I haven't dooged in more than a decade. I've seen this before, and I ain't impressed by anything they've done.
PS - Jen, you got that Michigan game rescheduled yet...? Yeah, thought so.
But the nimble organizations, the ones that know how to hit the curveball are thriving while the flat-footed ones are crying about the circumstances.
Can't get recruits on campus and show off the program in person? Not ideal. But those teenage shits have to sign somewhere and apparently we couldn't throw together enough of a virtual sell-job to cling to the greatest class in WA history. Massive failure.
Covid tracing procedures made you ineligible to play? Well shit. You had two months of knowing exactly what the conference's insane restrictions were and you have a multi-million dollar organization at your disposal with millions on the line. Figure it out. Fake the tests. Fudge the tracing. Publicly lobby the conference to delay the game. Fuck if I know. I'm not the one making seven figures to come up with solutions to these high stakes problems.
Jimmy and Jen were caught flat-footed in a situation that required them to be nimble. 2020 has been a historical squandering. -
