    Doogs hate Gonzaga.

    I can't really hate a program that UW SHOULD be like. UW, through incompetence and indifference, instead is a fucking joke.

    It's more like their fans act like they're Duke when their coach, who should at least be at Pepperdine or UCLA (or UW), chose to stay in Spokane.

    There is nothing to suggest that they can sustain this after Few crashes into a stoplight.

    And if you don't have a football program, then shut the fuck up.
    Meh. They can be as arrogant as the want. UW is their bitch in basketball.

    If they talk smack outside of basketball, fuck em. But in basketball I say let them chirp. UW is an embarrassment.
    UW being an embarrassing under-achiever and Gonzaga being a light-conference bully who Schembechlers the tourney every year are independent facts. HtH.

    Haie is right: they think they’re Duke. If OTOH they played in the ACC and got to the tourney a lot and lost it would be a slightly diff conversation. As it stands, lolz.
    they've had FAR more success in just the last 6 years than UW has had in the entire history of its program

    they do pretty well OOC

    who cares about Gonzaga. UW needs to get its shit together
    Again, independent facts.

    Everyone should have to take and pass logical reasoning (Philo 117) b4 getting their UW degree.

    Meh. Gonzaga has two elite 8s and two natty appearances in 6 years.

    They are good. You sound a bit bitter.
    I am bitter. Philo 117 would have to taught you that doesn’t help your position. The real title game in ‘17 was Quack and Heel. Zags Utah’d in and got Utah’d out.

    Everyone’s downvoting you. They think I’m right.
    Imagine suggesting someone pays money for a class like Philosophy
    People are still downvoting you. Read the room. You’re out on your own here on this one.
    Is this the biggest whoosh of all tim?


    He was initially whooshed the fuck out a few months ago

    Now it's a meme.

    Didnt take How to Spot Woosh 117
    Read the room. I don’t actually care and just like hating on the Zags. Do you want me to like them or something? Don’t be a weirdo.

    I’m having fun with your meme and laughed right along with you at my own expense for initially being whooshed.

    More succinctly, lighten up Francis and leave me to my hate’n.
    I hate UW basketball much more than Gonzaga

    But I get it

    The criticismhatred of Zag fans and the program's success is similar to what I've heard for the last 40 years as a Husky football fan talking to my cuog friends..."Why can't we have nice things?"

    Agreed. I find it extremely easy to hate them. What? I'm supposed to NOT hate them because they're good?

    Also, fuck those fuckers. Have they ever won anything?

    I would say the exact opposite.

    Zags are similar to cuogs in that they could be a natural in-state rival for the specific UW program.

    As a true DWAG, not a DOOG, you are REQUIRED to strongly dislike all things cuog and zag.

    Hate? All the better.

    Gonzaga has been to the Natty game twice recently. It's not a fluke.

    They also recruit like a big boy school now, always seem to have some eurotrash skilled big, and talented roll players.

    They will be fine in any conference they play in, it's weird to assume they wouldn't.

    Dialed in, as usual.

    I've stopped caring so I wouldn't have a problem if they finished the deal. After they beat my Bruins I was ready to see it happen

    I watched a recording of the Conn game. To the end. Still enjoy a good curb stomp. Can't help it

    I had no idea the Huskies were that good
    Top 3 metrics wise on offense. Top 5 on defense. Chest's darling. They were super underseeded they had a weird start to conference play.

    Gonzaga fans make Florida fans seem grounded. By their logic, winning the vaunted West Coast Conference, getting an undeserved high seed, beating a couple of liberal arts schools then getting bounced by the first real team you face every year makes you a "perennial." Zag fans love to delusionally wax poetic about there being "something special at Gonzaga." Gonzaga, if you didn’t know, is in Spokane. What Zag fans don’t realize is they’re not a big fish in a small pond; they’re a big fish in a bathtub. Gonzaga’s roster mostly consists of guys from legit programs who transferred so they could see what winning was like by beating up on St. Mary’s and Loyola Marymount. The dirty fact no Zag fan wants to admit is when they face big state schools, the team is average. Beat Ohio State, lose to Florida. Beat Duke, lose to Tennessee. There’s a word for that in big-time basketball conferences: "mediocrity."


    Literally its the fans. They keep comparing their accomplishments to Duke or Kentucky, but it was done by being an absolute Goliath. Remember Butler? Remember how they went to two finals in a row. The Gonzaga of the Midwest. Remember how once they joined the Big East it became much tougher to make the tourney every year? Gonzaga's run has been incubated by their presence in the WCC. The run is impressive, but lets not act like it happens in a major conference.

    Most teams that a 1 or 2 seed make the sweet 16.








    As the article states above most of those sweet 16 runs, were against a 16 seed, and a then an 8 or 9.

    Exactly. Winning four games in a row against decent teams is very hard (winning the first two games as a high seed is almost automatic and isn't unlike GU's conference schedule). There is a good reason why the Zags have never won the NCAA tournament. If they were half as good as their fans think, they would have put together one good string of wins in 25 years. NOTE: They HAVE NOT.

    I think I see the problem. GU doesn't offer any classes in logic. And, I guess, for good reason.
