Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Osbourne's dad/Dawgman debate
Austin's dad has had a little running feud with Kimmy about his son and what is going on in the program. I never found anything he said disrespectful, untrue, etc but Kim basically said he was a helicopter dad, didn't know what he was talking about, and they had dealt with several other kids parents just like him.
Of course the doogman minions sided with the site and shouted him down.
Austin's dad told everyone that his son and Spiker would be transferring back in January. When he confirmed that it was happening April 1st, Kim went radio silent as I suspect he knew it was happening as well, as then all of Friday as well when the news broke. Nothing about how dad was right, 5 of 9 returning wr's from last year have tranferred out, etc. Everything is just fine, nothing to see here, happens all the time at other schools, blah blah blah.
So yesterday Hugh is on with Softy and he more or less confirms what Austin's dad was saying with how the coaching staff went from only playing the senior upperclassmen in 2019 until they were FORCED to play Bynum and Puka at Arizona who became and would have had Puka not gotten hurt our two best options that year, to last year in the 2nd/3rd practice of the year jumping Rome/Jalen over them. He understood that with Spiker who might have had commitment (along with injury) issues, but was completely baffled why that happened to Austin.
I am biased and Love Millen so talking my book, but to think he doesn't have information about the program is foolish, and why Hugh is a computer about everything else in terms of emotion, when it comes to Husky Football, the longer he talks, the more emotional he gets, and once that happens his internal truth syrum comes out which I love and appreciate about him.
It took an act of god for Kim to finally admit Hopkins was the person who put the men's bb roster together that is leaving in mass, and isn't in the same universe talent wise versus most teams in the Pac-12 then followed it up with a condescending, snoty comment "there are you happy"
Austin's dad, you'll be waiting until hell freezes over to get the same from him.
Good luck to your son in the future.

That being said, running your mouth on your son's team's fan message board and whining about his playing time is on the same level as a parent e-mailing their kids college professor and asking them to change their grades.
He was clearly overly emotional in his posts. Kept referencing his son's high-school stats and claiming that he had the inside scoop on how messed up the program was (because his son was not playing).
Good luck to Austin and Spiker wherever they end up. I think we’ll be fine but we sure could’ve used them in the shit year of 2019.
When Osbourne came in, in garbage time, he was a possession receiver.
We use Bynum for that role when everyone is healthy. So his dad thinks his son is better than Bynum? I disagree.
It has to be brutal for a parent in his situation. His kid's dream seems completely realistic and well within reach,as a big kid who looks every bit the part of a future NFL receiver, but seems to be eluding him for reasons that are hard to grasp. He still should have stayed out of it, at least in public, but fuck man. That's his son and the stakes are high.
The higher you go in football the more it matters to be very good at at least 1 or 2 things. Bynum can do sweeps and he always catches the ball. Ergo he plays.
I'm not defending Fuller. I'm not even defending Bachellia, but at least he was highly productive in getting us to a Rose Bowl. Watch the last 2018 games. Ok I'm defending Bachellia but it's not his fault he was slotted as a #2 receiver. That wasn't his role when he was successful in 2018.
Again, Pete fucked up 2019. But last few games of that season we got the right guy, who was Bynum.
Also, no doxxing.
Fast forward to year 1 of Jimmy. Puka, Jalen, and Rome are all better than Spiker and Osborne. Plus Junior never recruited them, so they don't play.
Two seasons, two different reasons those guys didn't play. Also, maybe the coaches were pissed about Austin's dad on Dman. He's been bitching for a while.
