Question for Doogs

I get the idea, but 45 - 0 is still pretty verbose. It's not too bright printing that kind of stuff, but we are talking about a frigin bird.

I do understand (and agree) with the writers total lack of respect. There are only two teams next year that probably don't have much of a chance against us (ID St. and Illinois.)

This is a combo shot too. I just pissed all over Cream Puff's shoes.

Agreed.

45-21 may as well be 45-0. The 21 will be garbage points that they allow UW to score against Oregon's towel boys.

"The big games on Washington’s schedule before they face the Ducks include BYU to open the season on August 31st"

We open the season with BYU?! Staff true?!

BYU in place of BSU is no misprint, I believe. All who are associated with duck football have difficulty acknowledging their two game, home and home loses to BSU during their coaching transition from Bellotti to Kelly. It's not just this mini-losing streak that causes the ducks to choke, but the fact reported at least in Boise that Phil Knight wanted Chris Peterson instead of Kelly first as OC and then as Bellotti's replacement before Peterson totally rejected the prospect of returning to Eugene. Some truth to this seemed evident when Peterson was reportedly seen with Knight around town in Boise and photographed on the field in Bronco Stadium before that infamous second BSU pounding of Kelly's duck football. I think actually it was just that Peterson and Phil Knight are close friends.

I think we beat Oregon this year 31-28. WTF is 45-0? Mariota is going to get killed

When Sark was hired, if you knew that five years later oregon writers would be predicting a 45-0 Duck victory in Seattle, would you feel Sark was the right hire?

Even though the firing of Tyrone Willingham was a relief in terms of UW finally correcting the 2005 mistake of hiring the incompetent fraud and worst coach in Husky football history, Emmert-Woodward's hiring of under-qualified raw rookie Steve Sarkisian was disappointing to me. While continuing to flog their public funding stadium renovation concept to the death it deserved, Emmert-Woodward once again insulted our football intelligence by not searching for and hiring the proven head football coach that Husky Football desperately needed following the oh-for-twelve 2008 season.

Given what had happened to our football program prior to Sark's arrival, I can not avoid being somewhat encouraged. Compared to his two predecessors, Tyrone and Gilby, some excitement has been regenerated by Sark's first four seasons. Although there's still plenty of questions about his head coaching abilities, I can still muster some hope while Sark remains on a learning curve with his changes in staff and schemes. The defense could be good even this coming season while Sark's offense........ is a work in progress especially in fundamentals and discipline. The recruiting must get better at positions away from the ball and glory zone........ but then, everything needs to get much better.

I actually think that if he goes 7-6 for a fourth straight year, the chances are pretty good he gets canned, probably in the area of 70%. The higher-ups in the Tyee Club will start to call for it. 6-7 will get him fired for sure, unless he has some pretty good dirt on several people. I can't see even most Doogs standing for that.

Good poast and I agree with you except for the above.

If he goes 7-6 again. It's easily over 51% that he's back for his 6th year. 6-7 and I think he's back as well. The higher ups you speak of...there was a good amount of them that lobbied for Ty to get a 4th year. I agree that some doogs will start to jump off the bandwagon, but idiot jagoffs like S14aSF, DugtheDoog, and DiggyDoog will go down with the ship and Kim, Fatters, and Ektard won't say shit until their access is cut off. Then Dave Samek can write about how Sark should be fired after Sark gets fired after his 18th 7-6 season.

If Fetters is on the ship it will sink fast.

I agree with tailgater here. Husky football was put to rest almost a generation ago. Us old die-hards forget how long it's been. There were brief rays of light in the 20 year death spiral, but a decent into football hell none the less.

I'm so cynical at this point, that I fail to see any possible positive spin on the state of the program. The incompetent PC technocrats that run the athletic department and prevail on upper campus almost preclude any hope of ever hiring a decent coach or Athletic Director. A good friend of mine was a college coach. He explained that the support of upper campus and the make up of the athletic department are the most important drivers in creating / maintaining a successful program. As he said, "Who wants to work for an administrative train wreck like Washington?" Even if good people were interested in these two top spots, the power structure wouldn't be able to land them.

As far as Steve, he's here until he goes sub 500 a few times. What then? They'll hire another loser or marginal hack. Nothing short of a revolution will turn things around. At an institution driven by political correctness above all else, the house cleaning from top to bottom is in all likely hood impossible. You see, it's not just Cream Puff that creates the disease, it's the horrid marketing people and most everyone connected with Husky athletics.

The Husky athletic department is stage three cancer.....there is no gentle solution.

If by higher-ups in the Tyee Club, you mean AD ass-kissers like Bill Fleener, I wouldn't count on that Insider bunch to apply any pressure for more scoreboard success on the gridiron.
