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

Dawgs were blown-out of Husky Stadium by the ducks again today. Oregon's win streak is as safe as ever and still counting at ten games. So much for removing the track and how did so much green and yellow pond scum gain access to the Terrace Club?
At five(5) losses in five(5) opportunities, Sark is now the all-time leader in coaching failure against Oregon in football...... having passed up Tyrone's four(4) losses in four(4) futile attempts. The way today's game went for Sark, who can think about this losing streak ever ending?
How did everyone like the blackout? Just before halftime and again late in the 3rd quarter, it reminded me of the last blackout I saw in Husky Stadium two years ago against Oregon, a different flock of ducks, but the same result......... so much so that it felt like an afternoon deja vu all over again. The flat black helmets were special and I've come around to believing that if the Dawgs are going to play like they did today, perhaps they shouldn't be allowed to don the Purple and Gold while we're present.
We knew that the Husky defense would struggle against the duck offense, didn't we? Of course we did. However, I had the feeling during the game that Oregon probably could have scored 70+ points and would have except that Sark managed to tweek the defense against kick-offs during past week's practices forcing the ducks to march at least half the length of the field for each of their TD's. This special team's improvement wasn't quite offset by the Huskies' mediocre punting.
I imagine you doogs who gave us your pithy wisdom last week about how Oregon's defense this year wasn't up to duck standards must be in shock and awe. The second or first ranked team in the country doesn't get there with weak LB's and DL's. If the Husky offense has any potency, which now is a bit questionable, they made the duck defense look mighty tough.
After soaking up some rays in Tempe next Saturday, the Dawgs of mid-season mediocrity will begin the final stretch of five games of which three are winnable and two on the road are probably not. The only question after today is will our football team fade to worse like they did at the end of last season or show us some charactor. What we saw today could be as good as it's going to get in 2013.
After today, it appears certain that Committed to Rivalry is still as far away as it's ever been.

I was like, who is overseeing this three ring circus? Get the fuck outta here!
Around that same time they play the Rocky clip about how life is about getting back on your feet after getting the shit kicked out of you, followed by th Rudy scene of "NOBODY pushes us around in our house. NOBODY!"
At which point I turned to my dad and said, "Says the team that has allowed 31 points and over 500 yards through 3 quarters of football."
that said, Husky Heroes was good and it was cool to see Clifford. that more than anything in recent memory took me back to what it was like to be a Husky fan.
Fuck Emmert.
Fuck Woodward.
Fuck Sark.
UW in Sark's fifth year is as close to beating Oregon as they were in his first year.................they are a long fucking ways away.
When the the teams came out on the field I was confused for a few seconds as to which team was which.
While we were still in the old stadium watching attendance decline as the winning changed to losing and we had to sit on our infamous Husky arrogance far too often in silence. Management of football Saturdays at Montlake became noticeably more and more nonchalant and incompetent and the atmosphere went from Husky Fever to What-the-Fuck.
It was to a degree all about taking football out of Husky Football and that degree always depended on the importance of winning and that old Husky competitiveness to each of us bothering to still pay attention.
The Husky marching band not only was never the same after Bill Bissell retired, but nobody early seemed to care anymore probably still don't. Halftimes have become carnival and food circus in The Zone.
I hated the Husky Tron, it's noise and commercialism trying to put me on a couch in front of a TV when all I wanted was to warch football live out-of-doors. Speaking personally, I will not be shocked by the irritation bound to be considerably larger for the scoreboard with it's monster screen.
The new stadium is swell especially knowing that it has been downsized as it I suppose it must be to reflect some aspect of a de-emphasized Husky Football program. With my ancient mind, I can't figure out if I actually heard the new PA guy announce repeatedly: "And that's another Husky first down!" It's weird, but I swear I've heard that refrain someplace....... just not sure where.
And lose macklamore at the end of the third quarter. No one is getting into and macklamore is getting fucked out already.
Then a few years ago I realized I like them more than the real band. They play Husky Fever and Tequilla and just seem to care about what they remember Husky football being. I noticed it again Saturday.
The highlight of Dr J Brad's UW tenure is still dotting the I during the Friday warumup for the OSU band in 2003. And our mascot is a raccoon.
The people you're handing these awards to couldn't give a monkey's fuck about the football team, but they're more than happy that they get the platform of 70,000 doogs giving them courtesy applause so they can go home at night and jerk themselves to sleep.
