I remember reading that thread on BroncoNation and how everyone there was so happy and relieved Pete was staying.CokeGreaterThanPepsi said:After the Mora ship sailed on Wednesday, I admit, I lost my shit a little bit and was CONVINCED Nuss was going to be the guy. And then the news broke Thursday around 4 that Woody was flying to Boise (I tracked down his private plane and watched it on the internets). Shortly after the meeting ended (around 10pm) a BSU booster who was at the airport, said he was hearing that Petersen turned Woodward and Cohen down. I went to bed that night thinking all was lost and Nuss would be announced on Friday. @MrsPetersen woke me up at 6am and said to me, "It's Petersen!". Ever since then I have been doogin' it up, with a major boner in my sweat pants.
Then after he announced he left, they were in full WDWHA mode.
Good times. -
Absolutely. I was so ready to throw it in my Boise friends' faces but was met with the typical "Harsin is the real reason for the success" bullshit.whatshouldicareabout said:

And this whole OKG thing is way overblown. When I lived in Boise (08-13) I was good friends with 2 players who played for Pete and I'd go golfing or to the bar with guys on the team every once in a while. Like most college kids, they were about slaying tail and getting hammered. And I'm sure quite a few dabbled in some drugs. People take that shit way too seriously. You work your ass off every day, in your down time you're going to boink sorority skanks and get wasted. Who fucking cares. As long as you do your shit and don't make the school look bad, Pete doesn't really care. From what was relayed to me, he's actually a pretty hands-off guy and DGAF as long as you get your shit done. Players respected him, but they weren't meeting him for shots at the Bistro or China Blue on Friday nights. -
The Indian (Sioux actually) quote is "Hoka Hey" if you're interested in specifics there Derek. Indian quote superiority guy, I know. YBE.

Thanks for creating the best UW Huskies site out there and fighting the good fight, Derek. Cheers.

I hope this post doesn't offend anybody, but I have thought about what it would take to move this board to the next level. And i know what it's like spending money for a cause, I self promote a site out of my own pocket, not sports related, because I'm passionate about the cause.
I don't know anything about growing a sports information-fan site. What I suspect is that this board would need to hire some insiders who can or already have respect within the Husky football inner circle. There would need to be an official board presence at the team functions. Probably similar in nature as what the other fan sites have in structure. And there would need to be advertising and fan support.
I like the open format, I like most of the content here, but i do believe it needs to step up and fill the void. If you want this to happen on a large scale, then a budget and plan needs formulated, and the fans that care will have to step up to the plate. I could see the advantage in coughing up more than twenty five bucks to a well planned and executing cause such as this.
If I'm full of shit, just say so, and I will deal with what we have. -
I will gladly waste Sven's 20 on this site. And mine, too.

You made a bored for your pretend rivals instead of your real rivals. Mistake #1

You should lurk around a bit and get a feel for the boards. If you have any questions feel free to shoot me a PM because I have this place dialed in. -

GRAA ... and I mean that, a most sincere tip of the cap to both you and APAG. I have to say though, I agree with your dad, and that might be because I'm probably closer to his age than yours, but there is no way seven win Steve was going to get by with that mediocrity ad infinitum, and he knew it. He was feeling the heat, you could see it in his mannerisms and general state leading up to and during big games. In the end, he did what all posers do, LEAVE, before he was tossed. He got lucky. USC's athletic department is being run by a very smart man who made a very big mistake. UW got lucky too. We're rid of the poser and at the expense of our historical nemesis. And our mighty cajun leprechaun pulled a friggin rabbit out of the hat and hired one of most credentialed coaches in the country. It's a great time to be a Husky Derek, enjoy it! .. but in the true HH spirit, LIFPO! We'll celebrate big when this thing is finally turned around, whether it's under Peterman or someone else ... but keep the faith, fight in the shade, this fucker will turn around!
