This thread gives me hope for the future. It's nice to know that even HHBs will write checks for mediocrity and back a known POS like Woody as long as he is right once every eight years.

Uncle Phil is heading into the final two minutes of his fourth quarter. That is what gives me hope.

Are you trying to steal the HHDOTW from PGOS?

The Oregon AD or Phil Knight's assistant hired Helfrich and Altman. Those aren't looking like great hires. Jeremy Foley at Florida has a mantle full of championships in football and basketball. He also hired Ron Zook and Will Muschamp. I would love to see the AD with a perfect track record.

The only sport that truly matters at UW is football. The rest is a luxury, with basketball being at the top of the list. Woodward hired a highly sought after coach and got the stadium built for cheap. Football is how he earns his keep.

You can quibble all you want over how he did it, but ultimately it makes no fucking difference if he fired Sark or Sark left for USC.

It's awfully cloudy out for late September.

Woodward has definitely improved at his job since 2008. I feel kind of bad having called him "Pool Bitch" a few times, but that's my passion for winning. I know the award is probably ultra faggy and p.c., so it encompasses 287 Olympic sports, and we're probably doing well in those. In terms of the money sports, he's done okay, maybe decent, but retaining Romar after three years of missing the tournament is a bad move.

Congratulations to PGOS for winning the HardcoreHusky Doog O' The Week!

Saying Woody has done a good job is not being a doog. It's calling a spade a spade.

That's not what earned you the HHDOTW award.

You earned it for your lameass response to a legitimate take calling Woodward mediocre. AZDuck made some legitimate points and you gave a typical Grinolds response.

Ehh AZDuck was pressing and not really making legitamite points. He wasn't giving Woodward credit for Petersen which he deserves.

He's also coming off as hypocritical since Oregon was nothing until Knight so happenly decided to be in their program. He even dismissed that point.

I hate it when @AZDuck‌ is right.

For my ignorant friends, a requote:
If I thought your AD was good I would say so. I think Peterman is a great coach and will likely be a difference maker in our little rivalry. But the fact remains that Sark was here for the long haul until Pat Haden FS took him off your hands, your basketball program is a #flamingshittydreckfest and building a stadium is a nice accomplishment, but really only checks the block when one considers the size of UW and the resources at its disposal.

Hiring Peterman = great
Hiring and keeping Sark for five fucking years = horrible
Basketball = dumpster fire
Stadium = great, but well overdue

Summary = mediocre, but trending up.

The fuck?

The guy at Dook or maybe whoever's in charge at Stanford (Sears Cups holla)... but Helfrich is still an unproven commodity and Altman is looking pretty fucking good. Woody isn't even a top 50% AD. Oregon has gone from being near last in the Pac-12 in revenue to the top in the last few years, and I don't even think our AD is that great.

How we are ahead of you fucks who are located in the middle of the largest city in the PNW with a 70K stadium and twice as many living alumni (320K for UW vs. 160K for UO)... our guys are doing some shit right. And that is argument one for why your guy isn't all that.

It really amuses me that so many people think that building the stadium is a great accomplishment. Getting the stadium done is what I would call "minimal competence." Let's see, the UW owns the land, and has for over a century. There was already a stadium there, so zoning wasn't really an issue. It was a matter of knocking heads and getting donors to open up their pocketbooks, and of the 320K UW alums worldwide, 215K live in the state of Washington.

Earth to so-called halfbrains, your AD isn't all that great.

I'm hearing that Peterman wanted the UW job more than the AD wanted Peterman, so there's that as well. But please, let this guy and his cronies continue to run your AD. We probably need another ten years or so to really solidify our position as the premiere sports program in the NW.
