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

I've received a handful of PMs in 2022 from posters thanking me for being consistent with the podcast during the offseason. It's true that the podcast came close to shutting down last year. But the support shown for Hardcore Husky during the last fundraiser, especially given the general lack of enthusiasm for UW football, was a vitamin B shot in the arm for me mentally. I felt like I should make sure the pod keeps going regularly during the offseason as a sort of thank you back to the posters.
But I'll also say that working with @JoeEDangerously and @WoolleyDoog has been a blast, so that makes it easier. They are both rabid fans. Talking Husky football with them has rekindled my interest in the program, which is supremely ironic given that UW football is at a low ebb.
Hardcore Husky doesn't have the best of reputations amongst the general UW fan base. But one comment I hear pretty regularly is that we (most of us here) hold UW football to a high standard and call a spade a spade. Many people out there do find it refreshing.
So as we head into Spring Ball, I just wanted to say those things. Let's hope Michael Penix can lead us to the promised land ofPasadena Dallas to taste sweet victory over Wake Forest in the SERVPRO First Responders Bowl.

You guys and podcast of champions are the best out there.

This is wonderful but I'm still waiting on doing our extended pod on the sociodemographic of the former WIAA 3A Northwest League.

I got my fucking ass kicked by one of those Jake Locker Ferndale teams when he was an underclassman. He just handed it off to the rb for 6 yards a carry while I watched at corner, but still.WoolleyDoog said:This is wonderful but I'm still waiting on doing our extended pod on the sociodemographic of the former WIAA 3A Northwest League.
They viewed us as the pussy rich kid school with artificial turf and soft players, and they were right. I always wondered what the rest of their league was like, because we always played Olympia teams in the playoffs.
So even the OL brothers are a great get because of that school's rep. Well, hopefully we get the younger brother. -
They called us Skid Row Woolley because we were tough and scary and wanted to fight and play dirty but shitty at football. I know it makes little sense. Jake was too young for me to play against him.haie said:

Some teams were dangerous but couldn’t cut it in organized games. I remember playing Spanaway Lake at Central camp and they were destroying us. The game ended once one of their players beat the shit out of one of ours. I thought they were great, but they ended up going like 3-7 in the SPSL.JoeEDangerously said:

I was in middle school when Arlington bolted Northwest 3A for the “greener” pastures of Wesco. I shed a tear when we traded Sehome, MV, B-E, Bellingham and SW for Everett, Lynnwood, Medowdale, Lake Stevens and Monroe. I identify Arlington with the old NW league and I identify myself as a unicorn.

This thread would be much more interesting if we could fold in a little Bothell Couger football chat.
