    No complaints here - which makes this bored difficult, nothing to bitch about

    Even jamming some Springsteen on Tues

    This board will be more intense I think. The more winning you do the more it hurts when you lose, the more joy you gain when there is a big win.

    Dawgman back in the late 1990's and early 2000's was very much like that. There was several people punching their fists on the key board after the Miami loss in 2001 and they allowed it. That was the mindset back then that blowout losses like that were fucking unacceptable as they should be.

    So I think even in wins you'll see posters more critical of individuals as we are looking big picture. Like if UW defeats Hawaii for an example 34-24(same score as Illinois) there will be some major angst in here while last year nobody cared because we knew the season was over the minute Sark was allowed to have a year five.

    I remember beating Indiana (around 2002 or 2003) something like 38-13 and going onto Dawgman to vent about how that wasn't Husky Football and why do we suck so bad.

    Conversely I remember in 2011 being like "This is going to be a long year" after the Eastern game and being told "a win is a win" by several doogs.

    "Three years ago you would have killed for a win and now you are complaining? Damn you are negative!".

    While like you said back then being disappointed in wins was normal because the expectations were so much higher. I remember leaving Husky Stadium in 1995 after barely beating Army and walking out feeling like we had lost.
    Huh?

    Same.

    Also, this thread reminds me that Cockus was responsible for 81% of the posts on HH back when he was still alive (RIP Ts and Ps). I imagine if he didn't leave he'd be approaching 100,000 posts by now.

    Fuck, More_Cockus must have worn out the keys in his mom's basement typing this much. Can you TL:DR an entire thread?

    ...I can see WilcoxMarques bailing on Sark though after 2015 when it's pretty obvious Sark could be in trouble. I think Sark will be on the hot seat going into 2016 and as an assistant you don't want to be on a coaching staff where head coach is facing death watch...

    Crisperization complete.

    You must have went to one of them fancy injun boarding schools where they yardstick your balls for using the native tongue.

    There was the famous "Can't you just be happy with 5-1?" When I pointed out that UW went through the easy part of the schedule in unimpressive fashion and the reckoning would soon come. They went 2-5 after that.

    How a team wins or losses in very important. I remember after watching the Colorado game in 1990 thinking, UW has a very good team and could very well be one of the best in the nation. It was a well played game by two good teams. I think Colorado won the MNC that year (even though they got a 5th down vs. Missouri). Then there are games where they play like shit, but are lucky to beat an inferior team, and you know they aren't very good and it will catch up with them. Like a bad golfer who who maybe skips one across the water, or hits a tree and gets a bounce that puts him near the hole...maybe he gets a par or a birdy on the first couple of holes, but everyone knows he will still shoot a 110, becuase he isn't very good. (see the Arizona foot bounce pick 6 for reference)
    Looks like I have all the screenshots I need.
    Great 5 month bump at 3 AM as always
