On November 26, 2012, Hardcore Husky launched. Both incarnations of the Husky Half Brains sites had been shut down and there was a group of us that were homeless Ronin roaming the UW countryside. We wanted to create a place that we could call home. We were also thoroughly disgusted by the arrogance of Dawgman's Kim Grinolds and wanted to be the bane of his existence. Finally, we wanted to be an entity that would hold UW accountable to a high standard of football, when we felt no one in the media was doing so.
We came very, very close to naming ourselves Operation Husky. We had a logo that featured a periscope view from Lake Washington trained upon Husky Stadium. But at the last minute, Stalin opted for Hardcore Husky.
Actually, I wasn't called Stalin until a couple years later. I announced to the board something like we were no longer going to have signatures, and APAG (TheKobeStopper) said "It's getting to be like Nazi Germany around here." One thing led to another, and suddenly I was given the nickname Stalin.
Eight years later, all three of our goals have been reached. We have a home that we enjoy. We surpassed Dawgman in traffic about three years ago and from our vantage point watched them become irrelevant and no longer something we think much about. And we have certainly annoyed UW through the years but also have given voice to fans that want to hold UW to high winning standards. When a former player reported to me that he had been in Jen Cohen's office and Hardcore Husky was on her computer screen, that made my day.
So to the basement-dwelling incels who make this place what it is, thank you. Here's to another eight years.
Welp there goes any future employment opportunities for me!

What’s a job anyways?

Holy shit. That’s awesome. The war has been won. But good to know we’re always ready to battle.DerekJohnson said:When a former player reported to me that he had been in Jen Cohen's office and Hardcore Husky was on her computer screen, that made my day.
Amazing how the hatred for KG and Doogman built this place to more than I ever thought possible. Seems like just months ago we were re-grouping and trying to find a way to scrap together a victory when Kim had his lips around Sark’s Patron soaked dick and defeat was imminent. -
Query for @FormerPlayerDawg, was Jen Cohen looking at the BOUNCE! thread?DerekJohnson said:

Already better first post than @Arizona123. With that said, I still reserve the right to tell you to DIAFF... and odds are good if you're a fire dancer like the fella in your avatar.AlohaDoog said:Long tim lurker and first tim poaster here.
