    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.

    Don't shoot the messenger. She exposed the ongoing pussification of this formerly great program.
    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.

    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.
    As the "messenger of the messenger", you're not worth the wasted bullet.

    I read this article. They didn't understand the city well enough to pin point the problem, but the article was pointing towards this: Seattle has become a pussy, Politically Correct, progressive town.

    The rough-and-tumble unionist and hard working liberals that were part of the City's backbone are a thing of the past in terms of their sheer numbers. This group of people loved football. They've been replaced by pussy progessives from points East.

    It is a freak show now. The freaks could care less about football. Football for the elitist, academic snobs is just not that important. Even the bosters are pussies now. (The article hit both of these on the nose.) Couple the upper campus jelly fish with the changes in the population and you have a picture of why Washington football is dead.

    PS: I lived in inner city Seattle most of my life.

    I didn't realize cities prided themselves now on how many gays you have now.

    Hey Seattle strives to emulate San Francisco in that aspect.

    Noyt to get overly serious, but scientific evidence points toward gays being born that way. Great. I'm fine with that. Does that mean the rainbow flag needs to be flown over the Space Needle 10 times? Are the Mariners homophobes if they don't let the rainbow flag fly at the same level as the American flag? How many fucking Pride parades are necessary? 3? 4? I went to an REI Website a few years ago to apply for a second job (GAWD BLESS MERICUH) and instead of a marriage question, they asked about a life partner. Hey assholes, most people get married. Are you really that politically correct?

    Like Load sock said, Seattle is going out of their way to outdo San Francisco.

    I wouldn't take this article too seriously - she's right on some things and got good quotes from the right people like Kenyon, Crockett, and Nordstrom. But the rest of it is just rehashing everything we already know.

    The one question she asks "In such a setting, a question pops into one's head—a question that also suggests a potential problem with Washington's football ambitions: Are these people really willing to do what it takes?"

    She never answers this important question. A writer w/ guts would of done so, and we know what that involves - taking a controversial stand on current AD/coaching.

    IMHO, she's still just a yellow bellied Oregonian transplant to the WSJ looking for an easy story.

    This is a positive in my book. Much prefer the gays to the fat, smelly, ignorant southerners (every day of the week). Not that they are all fat, smelly, and ignorant or anything.
