    Spot on Derek. I used to be able to name every player and number, now I couldn't name a dozen players. Thanks Willingham for that......Sark didn't inspire me either.

    I'm not sure there's any recovering from this, though. I'll gaf about the outcomes again, but I'm not sure I'll ever be able to care as much as I did before Ty took a ginormous shit all over my fandom.

    That's true. Husky Football is like that beautiful wife who you loved and saw no faults in her. Then she got chubby and cheated on you. Now she's back on track to being beautiful again and faithful. However, you'll never trust her again.

    The thought of Husky football ever having a losing season in the late 90's wasn't even fathomable let alone having six consecutive losing seasons. I remember teasing Coug/Ducks/Beavers that to UW rebuilding is 7-4 with the occasional 6-5 while when they hit bottom they go 2-9 that's the difference between us.

    Can't say that now.

    Well written Derek.

    I was never sold on Sark being the long term answer until he proved that he was (which he never did).

    I thought that he had an opportunity to rebuild some aspects of the program with his youthful energy and his recruiting ties. And for all intents and purposes, he was successful with that initially. It was once you started getting to Years 3-5 and you realized that his holes he wasn't capable of fixing that you began wondering whether or not Woodward would have the balls to more on Sark. While the program may not have been a high profile job in the 2008 time period, it certainly was in the 2013 time period. And that obviously was proven by the hiring of Petersen.

    The great unknown through all of this was the answer to the question of whether Woodward would have pulled the plug on Sarkisian. The heat was definitely turning up and moving in a direction that would make you believe that Woodward would have had a solid foundation to make the decision.

    I've lost some excitement due to getting older. The bad football didn't help. I still get excited and enjoy the games, but I doubt I will ever recapture the excitement from when I was a kid.

    I just want to win. It's hard to put in so much time and attention to something so mediocre. The 2000 Rose Bowl season seems like so long ago.

    Even in September, if we see a disciplined type of football from the Dawgs that hasn't been seen in many years, that would get me excited I think.

    I love Husky football and I'm very optimistic. I had a similar thought process to those shared 5 years ago. There was serious doubt as to the future of Husky football. Tyrone basically ruined the program to an extent. To be fair Gilbertson did his part, as did slick Rick. That garbage is over. It's okay to be hopeful.

    I guess I just don't have the extreme acrimony toward Steve. He proved to have shortcomings, & sure I wanted to ass gone too, but it seemed likely he would either get fired or try to climb the ladder. As far as the infidelity s***, it sleazy and I'd much prefer, the wild rumor mill didn't circulate so much. Sure I'd rather have an upstanding coach, but we already had that in Willing ham. It's mostly about wins and losses baby.

    We've had one eleven win and two nine win seasons in 21 years. We've only been ranked in the final poll five times since 1992. This will all change. I haven't been this excited since 1997 and possibly since 1992. The future is bright kids.

    4-4 cover 3 defenses will never be played
    Missionary position can be changed up

    I've said enough about Sloppy Steve and more importantly, this is going to be a great ride for the next 15 years or so. 2015 may be just ok but Husky Football is now locked and loaded to blow up. I expect at least 10-11 regular season wins this year because we finally have a real head coach again for the first time in a long time (was Neuheisel Sarkisian with a Rose Bowl?).
