Easy question. Is everyone on here a bigger fan of the huskies or a bigger fan of being a self proclaimed degenerate saying bad words on the internet?
If its the former then why not just trim the rough edges and carry on? If the latter then why not start a degenerate site separate from uw fandom that doesnt hinder the program?

This. So much this. Except for a couple of deranged tards all the black shit and fags stuff is total schtick. I thought everyone got that? Well, everyone I would want to hang out at a bar with, which is really the only people I want here anyway. All the uptight straight laced sissies can get fuct.whlinder said:I always thought the “racist” side of this board was just next level sarcasm and intentionally lazy labeling of players and recruits. I’ve never once thought of it as real actual racism.
Yes, it’s hard to get it. That was the fucking point of this board in the first place. -

Also this. DDY and Coker brought up legitimate "optics" issues that needed to be discussed. A couple of retards of course took that "all the way" into full on racial bullshit territory. I quite clearly stated back then that all the tomofoolery hijinxs "make fun of red men and Asians and Jews and BBC" was still cool, but that I would hammer any actual racist bullshit going forward. People have behaved pretty well since then or I have missed it.GrundleStiltzkin said:

No worries Coker. I agree that the racial stuff started with TSIO, but it got obsessive and went the wrong direction once the degenerates here saw the opening and ran with it. You guys started it in a way, but aren't responsible for where it went.DefinitelyNotCoker said:

I'm a little bummed a couple of them have left here entirely, mainly @CokeGreaterThanPepsi and @AIRWOLF. I know Coker left after the failed launch of BDTW at the beginning of the year and I don't know when Airwolf left.
From interacting on Twitter with quite a few of the folks who've left: Coker, Airwolf, Chest, I get the impression that some of the borderline or even overt racist remarks drove them away. Quite a few of them lean to the left and we all know Stalin is a right-wing dictator so there might be some of that.
Regarding HH overall, I like it being the Wild West. When Stalin started this place, I apparently was one of the first people he talked to about it (I'm kind of a big deal I guess) and I remember him saying something along the lines of no censorship and he's kept pretty true to that. I liked the idea so much that I helped fund it to get it started and also because I have an intense hatred of Kim, F3 and Eklund (I hate Eklund the least). Someone in the Wam noticed I didn't have a Wam donation badge. Stalin grandfathered me in because of my early donations. Going back to me liking this place so much, I said fuck it and made a Wam level donation this week and will do so moving forward (mostly out of love for our Noble Red Savage).
While I like the Wild West aspect of this place, I also realize that people associate us with UW football and that parents of recruits really do read the message boreds. Because of that, we can't have dumb motherfuckers making racist remarks and dogging on players to the point that kids or their parents don't want them going to UW. When Smalls gave the interview to the recruiting guy saying he dropped UW, I was like whatever dude but damn, some mother fuckers out there lost their shit over a 17-year old and acted like a bunch of bitches calling him names or hoping that he sucks wherever he goes and that kinda shit is over the line to me.
Anyway, this might be my longest poast (hardy har har) ever but before I go. This gif sums up my feelings about the Tug. By the way, I stopped at the real Tug in June when I was in Seattle, it's slightly better than our? Tug.
I don't think the racial stuff drove most of them away, though it probably did with AIRWOLF.
And I'm sorry, but the "parents read this bored" stuff is dumb. They probably do, and who cares? Cut out the race relations bs, but if people start advocating for censoring honest opinions about players and TBS'ing "we" will have lost the war.
All that being said, Jake Browning still sucks.
Fuck off. If you want to argue we don’t love the program that is some bullshit. And HURTFUL.
Saw OKG as a potential problem, and months later that problem came to light in a big way. I’m glad the program has made some changes because of it too.
XOXOXO
But let me be clear, if you see serious no shit racial crap at the ETS then add a @me in the thread and call it out so I can see it. Bug killing is busier than you might expect, so I don't closely read every thread. Call it out. I want wild wild west and as little moderation as possible, but outright real racism will get smashed in the ass around here. Period. Full stop. -

Let's just be real and kill the revisionist history. You were the NUMBER ONE person I had to rescue the bored from re: racism. No walk backs allowed. Own your shit. I will say you haven't gone buck wild since then that I have seen, so good on you, but you were PATIENT ZERO for the actual racism narrative around here. HTHFirePete said:Sure the whole racial stuff way apeshit, but it made the program messaging better. Because the retards like us made it an issue, and others used it against us (Oregon). But the messaging had to improve so that it resonated with kids we were targeting. Not proud how we got there
edit: Read @Gladstone 's reply to you after penning this. It appears he already called you out. So happy to see we both came up with Patient Zero independently. It is very fitting, and shows that we share the same brain. -

I should have voted for youGladstone said:
This is rich. You are patient zero in the category of "sub-50 IQ retards who read Dennis's rant, understood the absolute lowest common denominator of his most macro-level points, and started propagating the anti-UW racist narrative". If the Smalls meltdown was the Titanic, you're the extremophile bacteria eating away the rotted hull decades later. Hope that helps.FirePete said:Sure the whole racial stuff way apeshit, but it made the program messaging better. Because the retards like us made it an issue, and others used it against us (Oregon).

Have I told you lately that I love Asians? Yellow and crafty yes, but very chinsightful.RoadDawg55 said:I also think some of you believe you’re more important to the recruiting process than you really are. Recruits like passionate fans, but they aren’t choosing schools based of Twitter love or message boards. Maybe a rare one, like one out of 100 recruits.
Fuck being censored. We used to mock Kim for saying the coaches were pissed about the boards and that they hurt recruiting. Don’t be like Kim. -

A cleaner more sanitized version would still hurt recruiting.
And I don’t believe the “hurt” is very significant. It may be a minor barrier the staff has to overcome when we’re recruiting kids that are considering schools that don’t have a strong message bored presence but at this point those schools are either a. Far less significant than a UW offer and kids aren’t taking their offers over ours anyway b. Stanford.
Who was the last kid we really pursued that picked Stanford?
It’s a non issue.
Having psychos like Ruth directly contacting kids and tweeting nonsense is a much bigger problem but our staff is even overcoming that just fine. -

Did it really, though? I guess that's my point. It's strange that I could come on here every day for a while and it would be a coin flip whether I'd be looking at a chart tracking UW's blue chip ratio explosion or a heated back and forth debate between a bunch of white guys (with a few pretending to be black), arguing that UW has a messaging problem and is in trouble.Swaye said:

These two things are not compatible.
What I want to know is whether the staff had to put out a fire that was already there or one that WE? started. Specifically, who is the player that UW did not sign because of poor OKG optics--prior to this theory being floated on the board/podcast? How many of these players did UW lose relative to players signed thanks at least in part to that branding? Did the staff "take steps to correct a problem with messaging" or was messaging fine until well-intentioned fans made it a problem that needed corrected? I'm not @sonics1993 or anything, so maybe I just missed it, but I'm not aware of OKG messaging costing the program a recruit prior to the Smalls fiasco--and therefore well after Cristodick was handed that sales pitch on a silver platter.
As for calling out serious no shit racial crap at ETS, I would start with the notion that a kid with a white parent doesn't pass some threshold of blackness required to be a desirable football player. If you want to talk about "potential messaging problem," I would suggest this to be one of the bigger ones here at HH.
