He's telling his readers today that Dawgman, and not the so-called NegaDawgs, was ahead of the curve to warn people about Willingham. Maybe he would like to explain how in a January 2008 column Dick Baird wrote: "Tyrone Willingham is one of the most respected men in the coaching profession." And how Scott Eklund told readers on the message boards in December 2008 after Willingham got fired, "You guys have no idea the damage Willingham did to the program." (What stopped you from reporting it?)

    It was impossible for them to be ahead of us on this one.

    Tyster the Dud was a for more obvious bad hire than Sark. (Steve didn't have a resume so by default he was a better hire.)

    Resume: Lost in the Rose Bowl, in a year when U$C, Wa and UCLA were down. Going to the dance was no big deal. Getting fired at ND after year three. What else? That's about it.

    I got tons of crap in the summer of 2008 on Dawgboy when I predicted a three win team in a post called, Huskies, DOA. Yeah. The boys on the staff are always ahead of the curve.

    That whole site is nothing more than a pay per use mouthpiece for the athletic department. They talk a good game about "being beaten up out here" for voicing concerns about Tyrone yet no one remembers it that way but Kim and Fetters.

    Can't wait until Sark's gone and suddenly Kim will have been "voicing strong concerns" about Sark way back in 2012. Rinse, wash, repeat

    I got into with fatters when he wouldn't admit Gilby sucked and needed to go. This was about 2 weeks before he was canned/resigned.

    There are two things of which I am "guilty"... I predicted that Woodward wouldn't get the stadium built, and I publicly supported Gilby back in '03 and thought he could succeed as head coach.

    But for Dawgman to claim that they were ahead of Race, Sven, myself and any other assortment of HHB or Negas about Tyrone is so beyond the pale that it ventures into egomaniacal insanity.

    And yes, SQC, it sticks in my craw.

    Maybe if Kim and the rest of the Citrus Fiesta crew took some time to unlock their lips from Woodward's 2 inches of thunder and unbuckle their knee pads, they might be able to readily admit the most they ever did was post cryptic bullshit and write a column calling for Ty's removal AFTER he was already fired.



    THIS. Plus a thousand.

    Truth time for me. I "supported" Tyrone until 07 UCLA. I was never more than lukewarm over the hire but publicly I wanted him to do well. Call it white guilt, call it uberdoogishness.... whatever. Honestly, I desperately want Sark to win....I fucking hate losing. I am the biggest poor sport you know....I throw shit at opposing fans, mouth off like a prick, challenge them to fights....I lose my cool. I'm sick of it. I want to party in Pasadena a bunch before I die.

    No, it was registering the handle with your company email that did the trick.

    Too many paint fumes.

    Wait a fucking second. I've given "The Dawgman Guys" a pretty wide berth, but that statement is flat out wrong and nobody with a brain or half brian would believe that. The biggest joke was having Samak post his Op/Ed the day AFTER Willingham got canned and Samak went out on a limb to say "Willingham needs to go [sic]."

    They need to stick to what they do best and slap stars on high school kids, but don't try to rewrite history to their favor.

    Say what you want about Sven being a dumb ass, but I was in a casino with him the day that Willingham was hired, and paraphrasing him regarding the hire: " We are fucked." That was almost four years before Dawgman.com admitted publicly on their boards that Willingham was a disaster.

    I admit I am guilty of giving him the first year pass, much like I gave Corky. I'm too nice of a guy I guess.

    I was posting on the premium bored that we were fucked the day they hired him. I almost got ran off the place. There were some good posters that shared the same sentiments that are not around anymore. And the mods were silent.
