But visits with dozens of fans, boosters, administrators and alumni on a recent game weekend suggest that behind this exalted ambition there's something that might stand in the way of intergalactic college football domination: perspective. The highest priority here may not be winning.
RIP WASHINGTON football, forever buried under the manboobs of its former (and current) coach.
Also, this article confirms that Seattle is the worst sports city on the planet. -

I can't believe somebody actually wrote that article. They should have three options. Option 1) DIAF
Option 2) Get stoned to Death Option 3) Have Fetters and Softy dogpile on top of them, suffocating them to death. Option 3 would be my choice, but all three are fine. -

Exactly. If you shoot anyone, shoot me, as the messenger of the messenger, and one who would welcome the 1st or 2nd, but not the 3rd, option so as to escape the emasculation of Husky athletics.TierbsHsotBoobs said:

Even I am slowly being worn down by it all. Last week, for but a nanosecond but a nanosecond too long, I cared that UW volleyball lost to Colorado.
Fuck.
Shoot me.

When the WSJ basically says you are big pussies, you know you are fucked.
Scarves up.

I live in Seattle and have for all but three of my 47 years. Here is the problem in a nutshell. It is not that Seattle is "too civilized." Hardly. Come up here and look. Dress casual is a huge STEP UP from what passes for attire here. You also will find more females with tattoos than you will find males with tattoos in probably any other city. Really. And, oh ya, we recently legalized pot, and the main newspaper in town, which pushed the initiative non-stop, seems to still be able to find nothing much else to write about then what the wonders and issues will be with "legal pot," which of course is not legal, regardless of what the state says, but that is an entirely different issue. As an aside, we are now also the U.S. city with the most gay couples.
No, as indicated, "civilized" is about the last thing Seattle is. PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE, however, is an entirely different matter. Furthermore, I believe Seattle truly is the female capital of the world. Really. And I do not necessarily mean that negatively. Just simply as a fact. So you throw everything together and you get wimpy males amongst the freak-show Seattle has become, and you also get, in turn, no great community push for sporting excellence. Er, I mean male sporting excellence. The women's professional basketball team. which we kind of got stuck with after we got punked out of our men's professional team (Oklahoma City did not want the women's team, even though it was owned by the same entity as the Sonics) is held to high standards. Between puffs of pot and bike rides that is -
That guy should get a HardcoreHusky invite. Unless he's already here?DerekJohnson said:

I glanced at one of their games ( the championship I think) in a bar in Montana next to my brother and my cousin who was shooing away a guy who probably wanted to buy meth from him. Whatever. I don't have a problem with them being successful, the problem lies with neglecting the money sports and political correctness run amok.DingaLing said:

As for Seattle, It's definitely more pussified than it was 20 or 25 years ago. I used to walk with amigos to the (south)east Queen Anne 7-11, near Aurora. Back then there we saw more real life, middle class TUFF liberals, and not as many prissy Frasier Crane and hotshot East Coast transplant types.
