    First time I saw that Crazy Larry image I thought it was a Fark. It is shocking that it is an actual attempt at "marketing".

    I would have fired Woodward the day Crazy Larry debuted.

    Seriously, as university president, I would have asked Woodward to come to my office. As soon as the door was closed and we were both seated, I would hold up a Crazy Larry ad and ask: "Scott, what the fuck is going on in that office of yours?"

    You would say it to his FACE?!!! Or are you just talking tuff behind a fake computer name hiding a boner in your sweatpants?
    I've been in the president's office. I remember the flash of anger across Emmert's face when I asked about what sources close to him had told me about his decision to keep Willingham.

    I've said this to a few friends but I will mention it here publicly. When I sat in Emmert's office, he had trouble maintaining eye contact with me. But when I sat in Woodward's office ten days later, the conversation was very cordial but he locked eyes with me repeatedly. It was an interesting contrast.

    Emmert body language superiority guy.

    He also waved his hand with dismissive flair when I asked the question.

    Did he slip you a note the second time telling you that he would soon take his powerful 2 inches of thunder to Indianapolis?

    The company that actually put together the Crazy Larry campaign is the "Wexley School for Girls" advertising agency... Needless to say they were an absolute disaster.

    From the link to Wexley. . .

    "We created Larry, a Frankenstein of our dreams and nightmares, and he helped us get tickets sold at a record pace."

    If this isn't the biggest whoosh ever I don't what is.
    Who in their right mind would think "Crazy Larry" is funny, clever, interesting, or whatever?
    If this is the UW's response to Oregon's marketing we're totally screwed.

    Gotta love it. Doogs constantly bitch about Nike destroying everything from our logo to our shade of purple to our uniforms to sabotage us for Whoregon (lol!).

    And then the Wexley School for Girls Frankeinstein happens.

    There is something massively wrong with UW marketing, but Nike's clearly not it.

    Seeing that website made gave me the sudden urge to grab the nearest jagged object, gouge my fucking eyeballs out, and then pour rubbing alcohol into the open wounds.

    Kind of difficult to post a video when you can't see and are dying from blood loss! But you knew that....didn't you???!!

    I hesitate to laugh. It still hasn't been that long since the UO marketing train rolled out fucking Roboduck, or whatever they called that monstrosity.

    Emmert may have been reeling from my attack on his facebook page, shortly after the decision became public.

    He really represents Pool Boy's incompetence.

    No self-respecting person would approve of this chimo looking guy.

    Our A.D not only didn't get pissed but thought it was a good idea.

    Even the Doogs didn't like crazy Larry.

    I was pretty neutral about Woodward before I started posting here, but there are numerous examples that he may not be all that competent. Crazy Larry, the broadcast team, "Hot Ticket", even the way he holds the football in the photo from the other day. I know he never played, but this guy has watched plenty of football. Hold the ball the right way, it's not that hard!

    The more I learn and analyze his job performance, the less hopeful I am that he makes the right call on Sark and hires a good replacement.

    Road Dawg why you do think so many of us want Pool Boy gone even more than Sark.

    We know if Sark is fired and Pool Boy has to make the hire nothing changes we are still fucked.

    The scary part is there is absolutely no heat on Pool Boy either.

    Anyone who complains about the Nike connection is a fucking idiot. I may be wrong, but I believe we get one of the highest checks from the swoosh in the Pac 12. We have a very good contract with them and I hope we keep it in place.

    I have gone to one Sounders' game (to see my Blues) and most of the women there looked like Crazy Larry.
