Season ticket sales are up.

Here is the problem....This group follows, they need to start leading. This crew and Sark have history to build from instead the history and tradition is ignored. The 25 should have NEVER been taken off the field, THAT should have never happened.
Minus Jerramy Stevens 2001 was an incredible football season, and Curtis Williams should be honored appropriately. That 2001 team wasn't incredibly talented they had guys with heart and battled. The national title team is easily had one of the greatest defense's of all time and the offense virtually unstoppable.

Once Sark decides to get out of his own way and commit to the run, special teams and defense he might just might be able to change his future at Washington.

I know Sark wants to create his own era and all that stuff, but people love history. People love stories and epic games of the past. For all the kids that only know the losing of the last 10 years and average seasons need to recognize this program was actually relevant. If anyone has read about husky football in the 20's it put Alabama football on the map by coming on train and beating mighty Washington. That started Bama football.

I know these guys have a business to run and college athletics is a very profitable business but this group needs to understand what could be.

Scott Woodward Director of Athletics LSU
Jennifer Cohen Senior Associate Athletic Director San Diego State
Paul King Senior Associate Athletic Director
Stephanie Rempe Senior Associate Athletic Director University of Arizona
Shondell Reed Senior Associate Athletic Director Cal St. Fullerton
O.D. Vincent Senior Associate Athletic Director

People involved in the game day experience, and marketing efforts. Fail...To them its about entertainment and ensuring the top "dawgs" continue to earn their unearned 6 & 7 figure salaries. Making it fun for the kids and stuff, develop huskies for life and all that. Make no mistake this about winning and winning creates more money and more money make the elite happy.

There is history and tradition at Washington that is not being leveraged. The story needs to be built on what was and what can be, not shiny helmets and flashy uniforms.

Develop and create the right message and people will follow the leaders.

If you are going to bitch, at least pretend you know something about football. The Dawgs have had 4 straight 1,000+ rushers. 1st time in program history I believe, but I could be wrong.

In today's game, you cannot just RUN the ball without a threat of a decent passing game.

The problem is we cannot RECRUIT athletic Oline guys and we have a position coach who does not understand, or at least cannot develop guys to PASS protect. For some reason Sark has chose to stand behind Cozz, and that has been his biggest mistake.

Look at our national ranking in rushing yards per game under Sark:

2012: 86th
2011: 63rd
2010: 38th (peaked)
2009: 68th

In comparison, Oregon was in the top 10 every year he has been here.

You are right about one thing. Cozz has done a shitty job and Sark kept him here, and recruits know that.

Pretty racist that you post a link to a blog written by a white guy.

"As noted above, our running game has been mediocre at best under Sark, even compared to other teams in THIS ECONOMY."

Our running game will improve when Obama gets serious about THE ECONOMY.
