Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Which Sarkism will you be most thankful is gone this season?

For me, it's that whole, shitty "Committed" bullshit campaign that we had last year.
Remember how every home game, even Idaho State, we were committed to something different? "Committed to Tradition", "Committed to Community", "Committed to Noise", "Committed to Rivalry", etc. Every game had one of these 'themes' to them, that were never extrapolated or explained or employed in anyway. In fact, these tag lines were largely empty and served no purpose to connect the fans or make the game any more exciting or fun. Instead, the common theme between these is the word 'committed' which flashed itself on the jumbotron and was blared over the loudspeaks 40-50 times per game. And what do you think about when you associate the word 'commit' with college football?
That's right, the shitty aspects of recruiting.
It was obvious, right from the start, that Sark wanted to constantly drill the idea of committing during every goddamn football game. He didn't care who or when, he wanted to those kids to commit early and enjoy the FREE PUB! Nevermind how many kids flip or decommit between now and January... every day can be a St. Tosh's Day Massacre! I feel bad for the kids for being bombarded with such blatant and insolent recruiting tactics. I can't imagine the pressure Sark puts on these kids every time they visit, even before all the screaming and proposing and misuse of James' National Championship trophy that goes on. It pissed me off every game, that we had this stupid 'committed' theme going on, and I'm sure others here saw through this ploy and were pissed off, too. So with Sark gone, I'm glad that whole "Committed" campaign will be gone, too.
What else can we be thankful for that will be gone this year?

the penalties, we now have a coach that doesn't find them to be an "overrated stat"
Total BS -
I am looking forward to not getting our ass kicked every time we play a good team on the road. That is the least favorite of all of my traits Sark has as a coach. That and getting his ass kicked by Oregon.
