Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Love the way he handles the press.

CP is very direct, no nonsense, and he makes the reporters feel like they shouldn't ask stupid questions.

Love his response just after the 5:00 mark to fetters' question about Timu: https://youtube.com/watch?v=-Qo8IfuOZbc

    He is probably not only irritated with the question but also irritated that it is coming from such a fatass.

    Exactly. When you are a big time Coach and you look out at reporters, you can probably imagine that at least a lot of them played ball at some point. Maybe not high end, but JV, maybe some Varsity, and even a few D2 types sprinkled in. Dudes that don't know a ton, but have at least hit a sled and been in the pit for an Oklahoma manhood test or two.

    When he looks at Fatters, he's thinking "there is no fucking way this guy knows anything about competitive athletics. Why am I wasting my time with a fat fucking poetry class reject that all the football players stuffed in trash cans when he would still fit."

    He didn't look that irritated to me. If I had just watched this without reading some of the commentary here and other places I wouldn't have't thought anything of it.

    This.

    Perhaps a little irritation with the Timu question. The rest was a guy doing a part of his job he might not like very much but fully accepts that it is part of the deal. In other words, a professional.

    its unfortunate for Peterman that he doesn't preface everything with "I think that" or "I feel that", he's really painting himself into a corner with these definitive responses where he'll be accountable for his statements. Apparently he learned nothing from dude brah.

    I like to read too much into facial expressions at post practice interviews.

    Fatter's questions, stupid or not, allow Peterman to state his philosophies.

    e.g.

    - We are all Huskies
    - School is first
    -etc

    So my guess is Peterman loves these types of questions and Fatters is his straight (yet gay) man.

    Not really Fetters related, but the stupid looks on Softy's fat fucking face in this video annoy the absolute shit out of me.

    no shit, he's got a face i'd literally pay money to hit

    I like how he isn't pulling a Sark and bragging how great we are going to be in spring. He is being very honest and not sucking the players dicks like Dude Brah used to do. That will get more out of the players.

    Last year Sark was celebrating a mythical 9-4 like it was an accomplishment while I'm sure Petersen is bitching at them "That's why you only went 9-4!" because 9-4 to him is a bad year.

    Fetters' brother played for the Mariners.

    I know you are being sarkastic but nowhere does it say he played for the Mariners. He did however play for Milwaukee and Minnesota.

    Yup. My mistake. Serves me right for relying on my shitty memory, rather than actually looking at the stats I was linking.

    Fetters' brother did some weird breathing thing when he pitched. I remember watching him as a kid.

    Unfortunately, I couldn't find a video. I meant watching the pitcher, Mike Fetters when I was a kid.

    "Fetters is best known for his head movement while on the mound. Prior to pitching, he took a deep breath and moved his head quickly 90 degrees to the left. He claimed that he was stressed when pitching as the reason for his head movement. While with the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2002, Mark Grace imitated the same move when invited to pitch for one inning. During one game in the 2004 season, Houston Astro Craig Biggio imitated Fetters' head movement and scowl while batting against him, drawing laughter from the Houston crowd."
