All those bullshit excuses are getting exposed now

dhdawg

the minute sark left and was replaced by a guy who valued in state recruiting kids suddenly want to stay in state, coincidence? I think not.
All of that weather, and kids just want a new experience, and the fence doesn't matter anymore bullshit holds no water. It's about the coach, and nothing else.

What's seems at first puzzling is that Sark did win a majority of the games he coached and the program was improving ever so slowly and that didn't seem to sell Husky Football to most of the best instate recruits. But then considering that the kids and their parents and HS coaches probably knew more than we could ever know about what was going on at Montlake and given what we at HH thought of Sark, it all makes sense. Even though he had such a short recruiting season at UW, a real genuine head football coach arriving at Montlake evidently was able to convince the very few best-in-state recruits to stay home and become Huskies. It just keeps getting better.

Coaching is everything.

Everything.

I thought we didn't care were the players came from, even didn't care if they came from Jupiter as long as we got the best. Who cares if they are from Washington. Wasn't the the party line?

That was the Doog line ....yes. Spin ANYTHING....

What I'm hearing is there's no such thing as the fence anymore. Since Al Gore invented the internet and this thing called twitter, kids don't need to stay home anymore. Again, that's just what I'm hearing. Learn the fucking difference.

I don't care what the party or doog line is when it comes to sitting in Husky Stadium watching a game live. I know I'm old and outdated, but I like to watch a mix of local kids, California kids, even kids from far away places like Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Arizona or Texas. It's our tradition to have a roster diversified and mostly west coast. Bottom line, when we have been good, I mean really good, the Husky core group included the best from the Puget Sound's area, Bay Area Californians, L.A. Basin Californians and a smattering of the best UW recruiters could find from other places. It's what we'll always have to have to compete with and beat the football powers down south.

I think almost every Doog excuse is going to be shot dead after this next year.

-You can't expect a good recruiting class in only two months time(Mora proved that was stupid)
- You can't expect to win with a new starting QB
-You can't expect to win with no coaching continuity
- You can't expect to win if your coach doesn't use twitter
- You can't expect to win with young players
- You can't expect to win with Oregon playing payers
- You can't expect to win when Stanford has academics as a recruiting tool

It all comes down to coaching. All these reasons over the years why you can't expect UW to be like the Don James era were pure bullshit and Petersen is going to prove that.

Once again, we were right and the Doogs were wrong.

Other than charging people for inaccurate and often fictional bullshit, one of my biggest complaints about doogman and their shitty posters is that they spin everything and make bullshit excuses. Josh Garnett goes to Stanford and you never fault a kid for going to Stanford. Banner (a true wdwha, he's terrible) goes to USC and it's because Lincoln Kennedy and him aren't close. Myles Jack went to UCLA because he's a Hollywood guy who loves the spotlight. You can't expect to compete with USC for Max Browne, besides he didn't fit Sark's offense anyway.

You can spin any recruit choosing another school, and of course there are reasons why they chose the school they did. A coach that knows what the fuck he is doing might lose a guy here and there, but they are getting almost every one of those guys.

They were already starting to spin McGary. I don't give a fuck that McGary wants to major in agriculture or that Seattle is too big. It's not hard to convince the kid that he can still be whatever he wants even without an agriculture degree and that a UW degree in anything is better than an Agriculture degree from WSU or OSU. It's not hard to give him a list of mountains, fishings areas, and places to hunt a fairly short drive from Seattle.

I find it funny that Ecklund thought McGary might pick OSU/WSU because he is a country kid who loves hunting/fishing as if Western Washington had a shortage areas to do that. What was he just going to take a gun and go into his backyard and hunt? Christ you will be driving somewhere regardless to go hunting/fishing.

There was a relatively small section of The Husky Hitman that Hoffmann and I removed that detailed him and his teammates going into the wilderness and Olympic Peninsula to fish and hunt.

This was fucking annoying me all year when my Doog friends were making excuses about how we'll end up losing out on McGary. To how Oregon State fits his style more, Sark is recruiting better kids from Cali, how today's HS kid views Oregon State as better because you know we did go 0-12, etc.

It was so annoying, I kept saying those are just weak excuses they use because local coaches know Sark is a drunken frat guy who is in over his head. As always the Doogs were wrong.

Petersen is blowing up every Doog myth and will continue to do so next year.
