I want to get my Husky Mojo Back Again
With the departure of Sark and the dawning of the Chris Petersen Era, one man wants to rekindle his passion for Husky Football again.

You are correct about Sark there was something about him that I never did like. I hated the Tybots but I didn't hate Ty necessarily. Hated him as a coach but I truly didn't like Sark. Felt Sark was an embarrassment with claiming UW would go undefeated at home to losing to Nebraska by 35 points, bringing a tiger to practice only to lose 41-3, proposing to a recruit, just being overall slimy not to mention wasn't winning.
The guy was a whiner, an excuse maker and overall just lazy. The Sark fans were the worst as they'd just repeat shit ad nauseam. The guy was disrespectful as well just by the way he acted towards James memorial. I thought that was even low for him and figured he'd show James some respect.
I'm so glad that nightmare is over. I'm so glad that I can actually start going to games and feel good about myself. Wear Husky apparel with pride now instead of not wearing Husky stuff at all. The guy was a joke as a person and a joke of a coach. I really don't understand how the Doogs defended this guy when there is no likable aspect of him as a coach.
I'm not sure there's any recovering from this, though. I'll gaf about the outcomes again, but I'm not sure I'll ever be able to care as much as I did before Ty took a ginormous shit all over my fandom.
The thought of Husky football ever having a losing season in the late 90's wasn't even fathomable let alone having six consecutive losing seasons. I remember teasing Coug/Ducks/Beavers that to UW rebuilding is 7-4 with the occasional 6-5 while when they hit bottom they go 2-9 that's the difference between us.
Can't say that now.
I was never sold on Sark being the long term answer until he proved that he was (which he never did).
I thought that he had an opportunity to rebuild some aspects of the program with his youthful energy and his recruiting ties. And for all intents and purposes, he was successful with that initially. It was once you started getting to Years 3-5 and you realized that his holes he wasn't capable of fixing that you began wondering whether or not Woodward would have the balls to more on Sark. While the program may not have been a high profile job in the 2008 time period, it certainly was in the 2013 time period. And that obviously was proven by the hiring of Petersen.
The great unknown through all of this was the answer to the question of whether Woodward would have pulled the plug on Sarkisian. The heat was definitely turning up and moving in a direction that would make you believe that Woodward would have had a solid foundation to make the decision.
I just want to win. It's hard to put in so much time and attention to something so mediocre. The 2000 Rose Bowl season seems like so long ago.
BTW, for some reason I don't remember the sky as an orange and pinkish hue the for 1992 night game against Nebraska. I don't remember shit from that game
Even though this is the start of another great era in husky football, I don't think the excitement will return for a few years. After DJ left it took a few years to realize that era was over. Think of the second half of the season in 1994 and then blowing so many games in 1995. In 1993 we were still considered a top program.
We could have a great year this season winning 11+ games but unless we beat Oregon and win the north I don't think it will be a huge deal. 2015 will be somewhat of a rebuild bc of Sark's awful OL. I think 2016-2017 will be where Petersen really kills it and when you see the enthusiasm back to its prior peak.
Don't get me wrong, I'm super excited. Petersen is a home run hire and he will be here for 10+ years. I'm just saying it could be a few seasons before Husky Football becomes a huge deal again. However, if we win the north this year then it would be a big deal quickly.
I guess I just don't have the extreme acrimony toward Steve. He proved to have shortcomings, & sure I wanted to ass gone too, but it seemed likely he would either get fired or try to climb the ladder. As far as the infidelity s***, it sleazy and I'd much prefer, the wild rumor mill didn't circulate so much. Sure I'd rather have an upstanding coach, but we already had that in Willing ham. It's mostly about wins and losses baby.
We've had one eleven win and two nine win seasons in 21 years. We've only been ranked in the final poll five times since 1992. This will all change. I haven't been this excited since 1997 and possibly since 1992. The future is bright kids.
