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

Do we? still hate the kids with hyphenated names?
Eventually
It's cool that these two guys are also talking the talk after walking the walk - repping the hometown/home state pride stuff. It feels like it means there's less of a chance of them walking things back barring something major happening and it's clearly sending a message. The only recent times I can compare to this are ASJ and Kasen committing the same summer and landing Budda and McGary and those felt different. I don't remember any hometown talk from Kasen/ASJ and it felt like McGary actually wanted to go to a country school like Beav or Coug but someone helped him make the right business decision and I've always heard Budda's girlfriend wisely sold him on UW over Oregon.
I love our shitty local media. UW has had a couple mid/bad seasons in the past 10 years then had the bad 2000s run. Outside of that there's no metric that doesn't present UW as a program that isn't a top program that can keep local talent home. Go look at TBS ratings, there's plenty of guys who don't necessarily go to Ohio State or Texas etc and go to their local school.
It reminds me of an old good TSIO point where our commits go to those stupid Army All American games and have to combat with the BS of other players and the losers who hang around those things talking down about UW.
Somebody cooged that headline☝️☝️.
Fuck everybody at the Seattle Times. Fuck Sportsball Andy, Fuck Vorel, fuck all of them. A bunch of losers that want everybody to respect Blue Friday and keep track of a 160+ game regional sport but treat the last Seattle team to play for a national championship like they're nothing.
Local sports people usually seem pretty lazy and pro sports are just so much easier to cover and contextualize. Transplants also seem to have a tougher time understanding big time college sports in a pro sports market.
give him a break, you know ChatGPT wrote that title for him.
If you look at his own post about the article, it's complete different than what the Seattle Times tweeted out.
ST intentionally wanted this to be the headline on X.
I think the last point is very relevant. Not many metro areas outside of Seattle, Miami, and LA (maybe UGA if 1.5 hours to Atlanta is considered close) that have real NCAA programs that try to compete with the NFL.
Whoever is making the decision to hire transplants to cover an inherently local, history-rich team should be fired.
When the ST actually hired a local guy to cover UW football they made sure it was an Oregon grad.
Fuck the Seattle Times.
The Seattle Tims is awful, let’s not even start with the false climate meteorology shit they roll out, @CliffMassDoog
it’s the industry that dictates that… they don’t make shit so you get what you pay for.
The Not-Giving-A-Shit headline would have just been "Local football player commits to UW".
It's possible the Twitter specific headline was to troll to draw engagement…and here we are.
ASJ actually did a bunch of it. He said he wanted to bring a title to UW.
Sad what happened to him, I hope he got his alcoholism under control
That's what it is, and I guess it worked. But it's still unacceptable.
