Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

All Husky players and coaching staff have received copies of The Husky Hitman

Petersen said he wants his players to have a better understanding of UW history. It's a start.

    FREE PUB?

    I'm happy that they'll be able to somewhat experience Dave's life and Husky career.

    Rather generous of you, good to hear that Peterman isn't afraid of that era of the program.

    Husky Hitman and Rooting From Afar are the only two DJ books I have not read. I will eventually get around to reading both. It seems a little egotistical of Dave to be giving copies of his biography to teach the current players about Husky history. There was a proud history before 90-92, even if those were the glory years. I guess that is probably the book he has control over donating, but Husky Football in the Don James Era seems like it would be a better choice to give Husky players a better understanding. Not to mention it is a fantastic book and a good lesson for a younger Husky Fan like myself who was not around for those years.

    Whatever though. As Chest said, you deserve it Derek, and any book on Husky Football is good with me. Maybe I'm off base. As I said, I haven't read the Hoffman one.

    I have not made any request for access and have no plans to do so. In fact, the SID won't return most of my messages (related to other issues).

    It was my idea and I ran it by Dave and he said let's do it. He's very humble.

    The Don James book went through multiple printings and sold out after a few years. I saved about 20 copies for myself, but not enough to donate to the team.

    I stand corrected. Good chit, Dave and Derek.

    I just wanted to let everyone know that I have thought of a joke for this but I'm not going to say it.

    Did you leave your coat threadbare sweatpants in his office after delivering the books?

    But why does Peterman want his players to be bitter and political?
