People forget

The season is over is not actually just an annoyance from Sven that is still funny after the 2,300th time.

It started years ago on the OG podcast when most of us were still at doogman. Or maybe in the early days of the half brain bored.

In August the doogs were doing the usual we're young but look at what is coming up and we are going to be good next year or the year after.

We noted that the administration was charging full rate for an exhibition season since the insiders were bailing on it before it started. Hence, the season is over before it began.

What was funny and annoying has now become full doog lore repeated endlessly through Gilby, Ty, Sark, and now Petersen.

If it had ever been true it wouldn't be a big deal. Ok we had a rebuilding season or two. Who cares in the long run?

But when you are in double digits for wait until the year after next and on your 4th coach at some point you would hope doogs would just shut the fuck up already.

Speaking of Ted Bundy I was a senior in high school when it was first known that a serial killer was on the loose. A gal from Evergreen State was found in the Capital Forest. The name Ted was released to the public but it was a mystery as to who he was.

So we are at a party drinking and talking abut who Ted was and this weirdo from our class named Ted peered in the window. So we beat him to death. Not really but we asked him if he was a serial killer.

Serial killers were not yet celebrities but Ted fear gripped the region. It was an interesting phenomena. Ann Rule would become a best selling murder writer because she worked with Bundy. Ted would kill across America before his date with Sparky in Florida. The Lake Sammamish two in one day was what really freaked people out.

As Washington was preparing to win the Rose Bowl and pop off New Years 1978 Ted was escaping from prison and heading to Florida for his date with the FSU campus.

Ted made serial killing marketable both in print and on TV. So there's that.

Husky football has made serial bad football marketable or at least profitable enough to inflict it on us for a decade or more.

You enable them to continue by continuing to make excuses and call of seasons before they start. UW hasn't played a meaningful November game since Rick yet we get the same old shit analysis year after year. It's a free country, post all the bull shit you want. I'm not buying.

If you can't see how rebuilding under Petersen is different than rebuilding under Sark and Ty, then I can't help you.

Too bad the HHB Podcast had a date with Sparky in its prime.

Ted actually watched the '78 Rose Bowl in Michigan.

We grew up on the opposite side of Lake Sammamish State Park. He kidnapped those girls on a Sunday afternoon with thousands of people around.

Yeah, and he had the killer instinct our program has been lacking for years.

I was also in high school when the name Ted was released as was the make and model of his car, a VW Beetle. We had a guy named Ted at Edmonds High and he drove a Beetle. I don't recall any of my classmates even making a comment...young and dumb.

So you're saying Petersen is doing it the right way?

I dated a chick from Gig Harbor in the late 90's. Her Mom went on a "ski weekend" with Bundy when she was in college. I am pretty sure she banged him. Cool story, I know.

No, I didn't sleep with the Mom. Fuckers.

Read Race's story. Googled Ted Bundy. Browsed his life story on wikipedia. Felt a sense of overwhelming sadness when I read the names and ages of his victims. Momentarily forgot why I was reading about gruesome serial murders during my lunch. Oh right, Husky Football. My overwhelming sadness intensified. Grabbing for my top desk drawer...

Theodore Robert Bundy (born Theodore Robert Cowell; November 24, 1946 – January 24, 1989) was an American serial killer, kidnapper, rapist, and necrophile who assaulted and murdered numerous young women and girls during the 1970s and possibly earlier. Shortly before his execution, after more than a decade of denials, he confessed to 30 homicides committed in seven states between 1974 and 1978. The true victim count remains unknown, and could be much higher.

Bundy was regarded as handsome and charismatic by his young female victims, traits he exploited to win their trust. He typically approached them in public places, feigning injury or disability, or impersonating an authority figure, before overpowering and assaulting them at more secluded locations. He sometimes revisited his secondary crime scenes for hours at a time, grooming and performing sexual acts with the decomposing corpses until putrefaction and destruction by wild animals made further interaction impossible. He decapitated at least 12 of his victims, and kept some of the severed heads in his apartment for a period of time as mementos. On a few occasions he simply broke into dwellings at night and bludgeoned his victims as they slept.

Initially incarcerated in Utah in 1975 for aggravated kidnapping and attempted criminal assault, Bundy became a suspect in a progressively longer list of unsolved homicides in multiple states. Facing murder charges in Colorado, he engineered two dramatic escapes and committed further assaults, including three murders, before his ultimate recapture in Florida in 1978. He received three death sentences in two separate trials for the Florida homicides.

Ted Bundy died in the electric chair at Raiford Prison in Starke, Florida, on January 24, 1989. Biographer Ann Rule described him as "a sadistic sociopath who took pleasure from another human's pain and the control he had over his victims, to the point of death, and even after."[3] He once called himself "... the most cold-hearted son of a bitch you'll ever meet."[4][5] Attorney Polly Nelson, a member of his last defense team, agreed. "Ted," she wrote, "was the very definition of heartless evil."[6]

Early life
Childhood

Bundy was born Theodore Robert Cowell at the Elizabeth Lund Home For Unwed Mothers* (now the Lund Family Center[7]) in Burlington, Vermont on November 24, 1946 to Eleanor Louise Cowell (known for most of her life as Louise). His father's identity has never been determined with certainty. His birth certificate assigns paternity to a salesman and Air Force veteran named Lloyd Marshall,[8] but Louise later claimed that she had been seduced by "a sailor"[9] whose name may have been Jack Worthington.[10] (Years later, investigators would find no record of anyone by that name in Navy or merchant marine archives.[11]) Some family members expressed suspicions that the father might have been Louise's own violent, abusive father, Samuel Cowell,[12] but no material evidence has ever been cited to support or refute this.[13]

For the first three years of his life Bundy lived in the Philadelphia home of his maternal grandparents, Samuel and Eleanor Cowell, who raised him as their son to avoid the social stigma that accompanied birth outside wedlock at the time. Family, friends, and even young Ted were told that his grandparents were his parents and that his mother was his older sister. Eventually he discovered the truth; he told his girlfriend that a cousin showed him a copy of his birth certificate after calling him a "bastard",[14] but he told biographers Stephen Michaud and Hugh Aynesworth that he found the certificate himself.[15] Biographer and true crime writer Ann Rule, who knew Bundy personally, believes that he located his original birth record in Vermont in 1969.[16] Bundy expressed a lifelong resentment toward his mother for lying about his true parentage and leaving him to discover it for himself.[17]

While Bundy spoke warmly of his grandparents in some interviews,[18] and told Ann Rule that he "identified with", "respected", and "clung to" his grandfather,[19] he and other family members told attorneys in 1987 that Samuel Cowell was a tyrannical bully and a bigot who hated blacks, Italians, Catholics, and Jews, beat his wife and the family dog, and swung neighborhood cats by their tails. He once threw Louise's younger sister Julia down a flight of stairs for oversleeping.[20] He sometimes spoke aloud to unseen presences,[21] and at least once he flew into a violent rage when the question of Ted's paternity was raised.[20] Bundy described his grandmother as a timid and obedient woman who periodically underwent electroconvulsive therapy for depression[21] and feared leaving their house toward the end of her life.[22] Ted occasionally exhibited disturbing behavior, even at that early age. Julia recalled awakening one day from a nap to find herself surrounded by knives from the Cowell kitchen; her three-year-old nephew was standing by the bed, smiling.[23]
Bundy as a senior in high school in 1965.

In 1950 Louise abruptly changed her surname from Cowell to Nelson,[8] and at the urging of multiple family members, left Philadelphia with her son to live with cousins Alan and Jane Scott in Tacoma, Washington.[24] In 1951 Louise met Johnny Culpepper Bundy, a hospital cook, at an adult singles night at Tacoma's First Methodist Church.[25] They married later that year and Johnny Bundy formally adopted Ted.[25] Johnny and Louise conceived four children of their own, and although Johnny tried to include his adoptive son in camping trips and other family activities, Ted remained distant from him. He later complained to his girlfriend that Johnny wasn't his real father, "wasn't very bright", and "didn't make much money."[26]

Bundy's Tacoma recollections varied from biographer to biographer: To Michaud and Aynesworth he described roaming his neighborhood, picking through trash barrels in search of pictures of naked women.[27] To Polly Nelson he spoke of perusing detective magazines, crime novels, and true crime documentaries for stories involving sexual violence, particularly when illustrated with pictures of dead or maimed bodies;[28] yet in a letter to Rule he asserted that he "... never, ever read fact-detective magazines, and shuddered at the thought [that anyone would]".[29] To Michaud, he described consuming large quantities of alcohol and "canvass[ing] the community" late at night in search of undraped windows where he could observe women undressing, or "whatever [else] could be seen."[30]

Accounts of his social life also varied: He told Michaud and Aynesworth that he "chose to be alone" as an adolescent because he was unable to understand interpersonal relationships.[31] He claimed that he had no natural sense of how to develop friendships. "I didn't know what made people want to be friends," he said. "I didn't know what underlay social interactions."[32] Classmates from Woodrow Wilson High School told Rule, however, that Bundy was "well known and well liked" there, "a medium-sized fish in a large pond".[33]

Bundy's only significant athletic avocation was snow skiing, which he pursued enthusiastically using stolen equipment and forged lift tickets.[15] During high school he was arrested at least twice on suspicion of burglary and auto theft. When he reached age 18 the details of the incidents were expunged from his record, as is customary in Washington and most other states.[34]
University years

After graduating from high school in 1965 Bundy spent a year at the University of Puget Sound (UPS) before transferring to the University of Washington (UW) in 1966 to study Chinese.[35] In 1967 he became romantically involved with a UW classmate who is identified in Bundy biographies by several pseudonyms, most commonly Stephanie Brooks.[36] In early 1968 he dropped out of college and worked at a series of minimum-wage jobs. He also volunteered at the Seattle office of Nelson Rockefeller's presidential campaign,[37] and in August, attended the 1968 Republican National Convention in Miami as a Rockefeller delegate.[38] Shortly thereafter Brooks ended their relationship and returned to her family home in California, frustrated by what she described as Bundy's immaturity and lack of ambition. Psychiatrist Dorothy Lewis would later pinpoint this crisis as "... probably the pivotal time in his development."[39] Devastated by Brooks's rejection, Bundy traveled to Colorado and then further east, visiting relatives in Arkansas and Philadelphia, and enrolling for one semester at Temple University.[40] It was at this time in early 1969, Rule believes, that Bundy visited the office of birth records in Burlington and confirmed his true parentage.[40][41]

Back in Washington in the fall of 1969, he met Elizabeth Kloepfer (identified in Bundy literature as Meg Anders, Beth Archer, or Liz Kendall), a divorcée from Ogden, Utah, who worked as a secretary at the University of Washington School of Medicine.[42] Their stormy relationship would continue well past his initial incarceration in Utah in 1976. In mid-1970, now focused and goal-oriented, he re-enrolled at UW, this time as a psychology major. He became an honor student, well-regarded by his professors.[43] In 1971 he took a job at Seattle's Suicide Hotline crisis center. There he met and worked alongside Rule, a former Seattle police officer and aspiring crime writer who would later write one of the definitive Bundy biographies, The Stranger Beside Me. Rule saw nothing disturbing in Bundy's personality at the time, describing him as "kind, solicitous, and empathetic".[44]

After graduating from UW in 1972[45] Bundy joined Governor Daniel J. Evans's reelection campaign.[46] Posing as a college student, he shadowed Evans's opponent, former governor Albert Rosellini, recording his stump speeches for analysis by Evans's team.[47][48] After Evans's reelection he was hired as an assistant to Ross Davis, Chairman of the Washington State Republican Party. Davis thought well of Bundy, describing him as "smart, aggressive ... and a believer in the system."[49] In early 1973, despite mediocre Law School Admission Test scores, Bundy was accepted into the law schools of UPS and the University of Utah on the strength of letters of recommendation from Evans, Davis, and several UW psychology professors.[50][51]

During a trip to California on Republican Party business in the summer of 1973 Bundy rekindled his relationship with Brooks, who marveled at his transformation into a serious, dedicated professional, seemingly on the cusp of a distinguished legal and political career. He continued to date Kloepfer as well, though neither woman was aware of the other's existence. In the fall of 1973 Bundy matriculated at UPS Law School[52] and continued courting Brooks, who flew to Seattle several times to stay with him. They discussed marriage; at one point he introduced her to Davis as his fiancée.[26] In January 1974, however, he abruptly broke off all contact; her phone calls and letters went unreturned. Finally reaching him by phone a month later, Brooks demanded to know why Bundy had unilaterally ended their relationship without explanation. In a flat, calm voice, he replied, "Stephanie, I have no idea what you mean ..." and hung up. She never heard from him again.[53] Later he explained, "I just wanted to prove to myself that I could have married her."[54] At about the same time Bundy began skipping classes at law school, and by April he had stopped attending entirely,[55] as young women began to disappear in the Pacific Northwest.[56]
First two series of murders
Washington, Oregon

There is no consensus on when or where Bundy began killing women. He told different stories to different people, and refused to divulge the specifics of his earliest crimes, even as he confessed in graphic detail to dozens of later murders in the days preceding his execution.[57] He told Nelson that he attempted his first kidnapping in 1969 in Ocean City, New Jersey, but did not kill anyone until sometime in 1971 in Seattle.[58] He told psychologist Art Norman that he killed two women in Atlantic City in 1969 while visiting family in Philadelphia.[59][60] To homicide detective Robert D. Keppel he hinted at a murder in Seattle in 1972,[61] and another in 1973 involving a hitchhiker near Tumwater, Washington, but refused to elaborate.[62] Rule and Keppel both believe that he may have started killing as a teenager.[63][64] Circumstantial evidence suggests that he abducted and killed eight-year-old Ann Marie Burr of Tacoma in 1961 when he was 14, an allegation he denied repeatedly.[61] His earliest documented homicides were committed in 1974 when he was 27 years old. By then he had (by his own admission) mastered the skills needed—in the era before DNA profiling—to leave minimal incriminating evidence at a crime scene.[65]

Shortly after midnight on January 4, 1974—around the time that he terminated his relationship with Brooks—Bundy entered the basement apartment of 18-year-old Karen Sparks[66] (identified as Joni Lenz[67][68] or Terri Caldwell[69] by various sources), a dancer and student at UW. After bludgeoning the sleeping woman with a metal rod from her bed frame he sexually assaulted her with a speculum, causing extensive internal injuries. She remained unconscious for 10 days[69] but survived, with permanent brain damage.[70] Less than a month later, in the early morning hours of February 1, Bundy broke into the basement room of Lynda Ann Healy, a UW undergraduate who broadcast morning radio weather reports for skiers. He beat her unconscious, dressed her in blue jeans, a white blouse, and boots, and carried her away.[71]

TED BUNDY WAS A UPS LOGGER!!!

RaceBannon

I dated a chick from Gig Harbor in the late 90's. Her Mom went on a "ski weekend" with Bundy when she was in college. I am pretty sure she banged him. Cool story, I know.

No, I didn't sleep with the Mom. Fuckers.

Ted used a hook up at a ski resort as an alibi for one of the Colorado murders.

Quite honestly it does sound like a cool story

People forget that Bundy was a husky, it's something people forget.
