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.

The only Sarkism I give a fuck about is not winning enough.
-
The annual 3 game losing streak.

You think Marketing consulted Sark about their Commitment tagline??....
Wow...just wow. -

"Hey Nansen, you should coach Special Teams!"

What a cool thread man.

At Coaches Show with Bob and Elise:
"You know Bob, I looked at the tape and that team wasn't us. You know what I mean? That wasn't us, that wasn't Husky Football. We gotta look at ourselves and dig down deep and play tough, physical, fast at all times. We gotta play Husky Football"
*Crowd drools, applauds and forgets we just got raped by another random team who should not be plungering us* -

Probably the end of "GO HUSKIES" cheers during funerals.
-
Hopefully the "Duckade"
Nothing else matters! -
"I think that" "No doubt" "Awesome" "crisp some things up" "de-emphasize the offensive line"
-
Speaking of funerals....when I die of full blown aids, I request that either one of these be given as a eulogy:
They're all the same and they are all packin the HIV or the groin acne. I hand baristas' latex gloves when they make my my double - short, 1 raw, dry cap. Sometimes I require 2 gloves per hand for the baristas with semen on their thread from the 'slow' periods. (They pass it off as steamed milk. BULLSHIT!) 160° milk looks a lot different than the sticky.
OR
Why waste good blow? Stop the turntable and enjoy. Feed the hooker 1st , do the bulk yourself but keep enough in the ziplock. Stick hooker, then keep hook around fer another bump and get a freebie on a reload. Hooker-line-sinker. Extra blow gets extra poundins;)
On second thought...read them both. Abundance. -
The most irritating Sarkism to me was, after getting plungered again, Sark would come out and say something to the effect of "the score is not indicative of the team we have" or "that game is not indicative of the type of team we are". If something happens once or twice, it might not be indicative of your team, but when it happens repeatedly, year after year, you need to come up with a new tagline.
Fuck that guy and all praise to PatHadenFS. -
"Finish"
Great insight like this:
"I think that we in general need to play better as an offensive football team consistently. That has been an issue quite honestly all season"
Trust issues:
"I want to make sure that they know they can trust me, because with trust comes honesty, and with honesty comes a really good relationship where I can help develop them as young men." -
Passing on 3 straight downs, inside the opponents 30, with 2 minutes in the fucking game and tied.. Worst series of play calls I've ever seen. Nothing compares. BTW the opponent got the ball back down 3 with just under two minutes. Brilliant Snark! (Wish he lost)
Oh, he did the exact same thing , similar scenario on the road @ illinoise. This time just before halftime. Way to give the opponent momentum going into the half Sark u fat fuck ya! -
The crying game
