    Inspite of there being a lotta of water under the bridge, I think our community would be better off with @CokeGreaterThanPepsi and @Dennis_DeYoung than without. I’m sure the ship has sailed but I would not boo their return.

    Only petty, jealous fucks who desire more recognition for themselves or who let politics drive their opinions about stuff that isn't political think otherwise. Either one of those guys were more valuable to this board than all of the guys batching about them combined.

    Here's the deal retards. I didn't need to like or agree with anything those guys ever said in order to appreciate them being here. They created content and drove activity. Don't like it, don't click on it. Or you can weigh in and argue with them like big boys.

    You know, it's funny how many vocal critics there are of DDY and Coker since they've been gone. I dont recall half as many when they were still posting So it to their face pussies.
    I called DDY an enemy of the program to his internet face a few times. Rather than crying about bullying he chinned the poasts everytim.

    Dennis could dish it out but he could also take it. He took his pet theories a little too seriously but he never took himself too seriously. I respect the dude.
    DDY is 81% hyperbole.

    He's also one of the smartest and funniest dudes to ever post here even when he's full of shit.

    We'd be a better site with him back.

    I always thought DDY was a retard with the race takes. Coke's problem was that he took that schtick and tried to mold it into a serious thing. He went full-retard and became an enemy of the program.

    I remember Coker hardly every bringing up @race. At least on the boards, I didn't listen to most of the pods.

    Those guys are the EE and JTT of husky fans, and took their shit to the Columbus, Ohio of sites. Fuck. Them.

    They took themselves a lot more seriously than many of you believe. Remember Husky Twitter and them genuinely believing their tweets helped get recruits?

    Orange is right about Coker telling him about studies.

    That being said, who cares?

    Doogs love their cult of personality. Lot of denial here regarding BDTW

    They definitely took Twitter too seriously, no argument there.

    Specially @LaMichael_Corleone , who was close force selling his own couch for whatever the reason was

    Coker defended it. He told me to look into the fucking research. It was eugenics level misinformation and incredibly fucked up and fucking stupid.

    Some nice dick sucking going on, but as soon as they went all-in on the race bullshit they became enemies of this website, football team, university, and humanity in general. A lot of you like to laugh it off, I encourage you to go reread some of the shit they were talking about.

    DDY did have thick skin regarding a lot of that stuff...but this shit he was and probably still is dead serious about. It was fucking cringe at best and incredibly damaging at worst. Coker parroted the same exact talking points.

    As a reminder, those talking points were:

    - The program doesnt recruit "black" players
    - Players with one white parent aren't actually black
    - African immigrants aren't culturally black and dont count
    - OKG is at it's core a racist philosophy
    - White players aren't/can't be as good as black players
    - Black players (or those they deemed black enough) were needed to toughen up the program culturally because they might not come from "OKG environments"
    - Black players needed black names, not white sounding names

    This was while UW had/has one of the most diverse rosters in football white white, black, poly, and even a Chinese starting safety and a Phillipino DB..and of course it ignored demographics and the rest of the Pac 12 rosters

    Lots of rose tinted glasses going on here because of the funny shit takes they had on their pod and how they initially rallied the community with humor. It turned toxic and withered rather easily, says 34-17. Really embrassing shit.
    Agree with everything, but this statement. Isn’t the nfl like 60% black? Data support this statement no?

    I begrudgingly admit that I too was a listener of TSIO. It had entertainment value to me, that much is true. But I also thought DDY was a huge assclown. It's still unclear to me if he was actually gay? Black? Paraplegic? Had any football credentials besides self proclaimed ones?

    I would be glad to see Ballz return cus that guy is gold in every way (except ruining threads sometimes). DDY and Coke can get fucked tho. Last thing we need is them returning with tails tucked from there massive failure and getting built up a lil by being welcomed back. That would catapult them into another dimension of undeserving arrogance. Trust that it's better without them.

    Ballz can walk in that door anytime as far as I'm concerned tho.

    Ballz is the worst kind of race baiting cunt. He talked shit, called names, threatened, boasted about his size and ethnicity, then was hypervigilant about finding any opening to label someone as racist. Simply disagreeing with him enough times or too strongly was all it took. Fuck him.

    Dennis went off the deep end from what I could see. His DDY shtick, at the end,, wasn't even a caricature. It seemed like he got lost in it.

    I dont know what his original background in football was, but he had some connection to the original site/s that became dawgman. He's been evaluating football recruits for a long time. It didn't make him right all the time or even often, but he is experienced at it.

    You left out "fast strategy" and how black kids were prone to making bad decisions due to their environment and that those things also made them physically mature quicker, etc. I think I paraphrased that about 81% accurately.

    Correct, and this made them more aggressive or something and therefore our football team wouldnt lose to Ohio State or something.

    The entire thing was a dystopian racist nightmare

    Oh fuck, I kinda forgotten about that, and your right. Maybe I won't go trolling the Everett reststop tonight looking to bring back @Ballz . Or I might.

    Did DDY or Coker's commentary here or on Twatter or on TSIO have any impact whatsoever on the trajectory of the football program? Doubtful IMHO.

    Who cares if they are 2 guys who are full of shit on the above talking points? Does it make Hardcore Husky a less respected hive of scum and villainy than it already is?
    Apparently it was used to negatively recruit? Im not sure though

    It absolutely does. Almost all of the stuff joked about on here is tongue in cheek and it would take a real square to take it seriously. This was a notable exception. It was straight up racism..."black people are aggressive and violent thug ballers, Eddie and Levi arent really black, lighter skinned players don't really count as black by my Ivory Tower ignorant deductions"

    Your weird enablement of this shit is noted I guess

    It's not weird enablement of anything for Christ's sake, PGOS. I never agreed with their shitty takes on the subject.

    DDY and Coker - in spite of their delusions of grandeur - are nobody's in the world of Husky football punditry.

    Their opinions aren't influencing shit.

    It's okay to say that the racist shit they were posting was incredibly bad optics for this website at the very, very least. Especially since most of it took place on the recruiting board...which parents and recruits do read.

    It was really fucking bad and people are being disingenuous by glossing over it. Case closed.

    I agree wholeheartedly that a lot of their theories were B.S.

    But I have a hard time believing that their commentary on our board had any influence on our recruiting one way or another. Why would a recruit and their parents decide not to commit to UW based on DDY/Coker vs a 100 deciding other factors.

    I always thought DDY was a retard with the race takes. Coke's problem was that he took that schtick and tried to mold it into a serious thing. He went full-retard and became an enemy of the program.

    Lol wut??? DDY brought up race more than Coker
    Coker defended it. He told me to look into the fucking research. It was eugenics level misinformation and incredibly fucked up and fucking stupid.

    Some nice dick sucking going on, but as soon as they went all-in on the race bullshit they became enemies of this website, football team, university, and humanity in general. A lot of you like to laugh it off, I encourage you to go reread some of the shit they were talking about.

    DDY did have thick skin regarding a lot of that stuff...but this shit he was and probably still is dead serious about. It was fucking cringe at best and incredibly damaging at worst. Coker parroted the same exact talking points.

    As a reminder, those talking points were:

    - The program doesnt recruit "black" players
    - Players with one white parent aren't actually black
    - African immigrants aren't culturally black and dont count
    - OKG is at it's core a racist philosophy
    - White players aren't/can't be as good as black players
    - Black players (or those they deemed black enough) were needed to toughen up the program culturally because they might not come from "OKG environments"
    - Black players needed black names, not white sounding names

    This was while UW had/has one of the most diverse rosters in football white white, black, poly, and even a Chinese starting safety and a Phillipino DB..and of course it ignored demographics and the rest of the Pac 12 rosters

    Lots of rose tinted glasses going on here because of the funny shit takes they had on their pod and how they initially rallied the community with humor. It turned toxic and withered rather easily, says 34-17. Really embrassing shit.
    Did DDY or Coker's commentary here or on Twatter or on TSIO have any impact whatsoever on the trajectory of the football program? Doubtful IMHO.

    Who cares if they are 2 guys who are full of shit on the above talking points? Does it make Hardcore Husky a less respected hive of scum and villainy than it already is?
    Apparently it was used to negatively recruit? Im not sure though

    It absolutely does. Almost all of the stuff joked about on here is tongue in cheek and it would take a real square to take it seriously. This was a notable exception. It was straight up racism..."black people are aggressive and violent thug ballers, Eddie and Levi arent really black, lighter skinned players don't really count as black by my Ivory Tower ignorant deductions"

    Your weird enablement of this shit is noted I guess
    It's not weird enablement of anything for Christ's sake, PGOS. I never agreed with their shitty takes on the subject.

    DDY and Coker - in spite of their delusions of grandeur - are nobody's in the world of Husky football punditry.

    Their opinions aren't influencing shit.
    It's okay to say that the racist shit they were posting was incredibly bad optics for this website at the very, very least. Especially since most of it took place on the recruiting board...which parents and recruits do read.

    It was really fucking bad and people are being disingenuous by glossing over it. Case closed.
    I agree wholeheartedly that a lot of their theories were B.S.

    But I have a hard time believing that their commentary on our board had any influence on our recruiting one way or another. Why would a recruit and their parents decide not to commit to UW based on DDY/Coker vs a 100 deciding other factors.
    People have said it was used to negatively recruit. Whether OKG was already being used to negatively recruit by other schools before or after they went off the deepend, I dont know.

    I know Derek doesnt go on the recruiting board as he doesn't really care about it, but to have a power user like DDY spewing that shit all over the website was, like I said earlier, incredibly cringe at best and damaging at worst.

    I thought DDY and Coke were funny and even listened to the pod every now and then before they went full on psycho with this nonsense. Like literally labeling race in the title of their threads about high schoolers.

    It was bad. Case closed.
