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

I think that....

I think that I have noticed something about Sark....

I think that around 90% of his sentences start with "I think that...."

I think that he picked it up from Carroll, who I think also uses the phrase a lot.

I think that coaches use the phrase "I think that..." in order to make it appear as though they have thought about something.

I think that it is a completely unnecessary distraction, because I think that they can simply say what they think, rather than telling us that they thought it. I think that we generally assume people talking have a brain, so I think that it is unnecessary for them to explain that they thought....

I think that it is a very annoying speech pattern.

I think that fortunately Sark changes it up sometimes by saying "I thought that...." I think that otherwise it might be even more annoying than I think it already is.

I think that some of you may enjoy my sharing this precious thought with you.

I think that I will finish now.

    I hadn't noticed this, but now that you've pointed it out, it's going to drive me nuts. Thanks, you just ruined Sark for me. Oh, wait. Nevermind.

    I think that Sark is still in over his head.

    I think that a REAL football program would clean house at the end of this season that is already over.

    I like that the "season is over" but I bitch about it every 5 minutes like it is going to change something.

    I like that...

    The season is over because Sark is still Sark.

    Keep up the passive aggressive non-defenses of Sark though. It's the only value you provide here.

    I like that you still don't get it despite posting here for almost 10 months now.

    Enough to keep pool boy happy and the stadium with strong revenues....7 or 8 win Sark is perfect for the script. Sark is a good public cheer leader and is liked. For some reason being liked at UW keeps you around.

    3-0, I would SAY TO YOUR FACE!!!

    Sorry all.

    I think that I have an apology to make.

    I think I stated Sark says "I think that" or "I thought that" around 90% of the time.

    I think I may have overstated it. I thought that it was that high, but I think that I was overreacting.

    I think that I just listened to the Times video of Sark's post game remarks. I think that Sark only says "I think that" or "I thought that" around 18 times.

    I thought that it was more. I think that I am sorry.

    Sark thought a lot today:

    (Opening statement) “That’s a good football team and their ranking is deservedly so. I thought our kids played hard, I thought we fought, I thought we showed a lot of resolve there in the third quarter, battle back in the ballgame. Just unfortunately had a hard time containing Marcus....
