Embarrassing Doog Memories

I've selectively forgotten most of mine. I hated the Sark hire. Then UW came out and punched LSU in the mouth for part of a game and I flip flopped in a heartbeat. It took me a while, maybe until the second three game losing streak, to come to my senses.

There's a great collection of them here

Thanks for saying so, but for the record there's no need to point to examples.

Edit...didn't notice that was a link. I dont remember if I even posted in that thread but now I'm going to check. May be a bad idea...

This thread is pretty fun. It's so long now I can't remember if I already posted my confession. Here are a few things I haven't selectively forgotten:

I stayed quiet but was cautiously optimistic about Gilby and Ty when first hired.

I kinda bought in to the Gilby undefeated hype stirred up by Samek.

I thought president Emmert was going to be good for the program.

I did speak up in defense of Ty in years 1-2 when his louder critics hammered on things that didn't seem justified. One example would be his shit canning Hemphill and Braunstein, both of whom sucked so I was right. Still doogish.

I thought UW might hire Herm Edwards.

I liked Locker and made excuses for him, same as I did for Stanback.

I got excited about what I saw in Sark's first game against LSU...classic moral victory.

I thought keeping Wilcox and the rest of the staff might be a good idea when Sark left.

I thought we might have a chance against Oregon EVERY year during the streak.

I'm sure there were plenty of others.

Sark had a lot of momentum in 2010 that he never capitalized on. People forget that.


We wanted to like him.

After Tyrone "Who" Willingham left this program in a tailspin, we were all craving (yeah I said craving) some semblance of respectability.

Basically we were in the Battered Doog Syndrome loop.

I made the poster!
