The Athletic Department doesn't give a flying fuck what fans think of the program.AtomicDawg said:Don't disagree with anything Swaye said but for me the real frustration stems that I think this site really could overtake Dawgman and be a legitimate voice of Husky Football or at least something where the Athletic Department could go to get a real pulse of what smart and demanding fans think of the program.
@CokeGreaterThanPepsi can confirm this for you.

Some of the posts are a little over the top, and I'm guilty as anyone sometimes, but this site has a good balance between the fball talk and frivolity right now.
The gifs, memes, and girls are great. You're not going to find that on the corporate sites. -
It's rare that I disagree with Boobs but in this case, I do and here's why.TierbsHsotBoobs said:There's nothing intelligent to discuss about Husky football.
Hope this helps.
It's true that we've been saying the same thing for years and that we've been consistently right ever since Rick was fired. If it's unintelligent to keep repeating ourselves to the ignant (Hi PL_SS!) masses of Doogs, then Boobs is correct.
I believe the conversations that take place are intelligent because unlike Kim or Eklund or F3, we're not simply trying to appease the coaches and AD so we can maintain access. Unlike the Doogs, we are blinded by unquestioning loyalty or simple ignorance. The intelligent conversations break down why Sark and Pool Boy suck. Why Emmert was and still is the worst enemy of UW and college football.
That's why this place still has intelligent yet crude conversations about UW football. -

If said poster did post this, you and I both know not only what the responses would be but also who they would be from.dnc said:There's a lot of truth to what he's saying, but dude needs to man up and post it on the bored himself. That's the beauty of this hellhole, you're allowed to say what you think whether it is kissing the asses of the admins and core contributors or not. PM'ing someone to complain about not liking certain content is exactly how a few idiots ruined the Dawgman that we mutually hate.
Man up or shut up.
P.S. Vashon's ryk
The acronyms and inside jokes (the ones I actually know) can be funny as hell at the right moments but this board falls into some trends where that's all you read and to the unfamiliar types, I'm not sure there's much reason why they'd actively participate on this board.
Many people dog on the Passions and the Steve Bowman's of this board. I personally found their POVs on Dawgman and on this site great but even when they provide their thoughts, they are ridiculed at every opportunity. Like him or not, Passion has always been a great poster on all things Husky football.
If said poster revealed himself, I think it would be great because I pretty much agree with everything he wrote to Passion.

Lets not cyber in the middle of the store fellas.

Interesting pov. The issue is, I am not sure this site isn't already the legitimate voice of Husky Football. I mean, ultimately DJ will determine where this goes, as it is his site. But, look at the content here. MUCH better than anything Roof or the tard crew at Doogfarm ever puts together.AtomicDawg said:Don't disagree with anything Swaye said but for me the real frustration stems that I think this site really could overtake Dawgman and be a legitimate voice of Husky Football or at least something where the Athletic Department could go to get a real pulse of what smart and demanding fans think of the program. Because Dawgman really is a disaster, I have not been to the message board over there in months and don't care. It is worthless info for the most part. The only thing enjoyable to me is the summaries of what Fleenor actually writes and most of the time that has nothing to do with football.
Like it or not the extreme profanity and tails (See what I did there) of banging co-eds, gifs etc... make the site more dismissive to outside observers despite the intelligence of the football posts here.
It's Derek's site and it would be a lot to ask and very time demanding for someone to moderate all of this and I respect that. I find it worth it to come and filter through all of the Internet Tough Guy fights, barely legal photos and all else to get my husky fix and premium content. But for people that are offended by that type of stuff you are exactly right, this place is not for them. The frustrating part is this is where the most intelligent conversations about husky football take place but it is too extreme to be main stream.
Just my thoughts.
Ramblings > Meanderings
DFI > Thoughts from the Weekend
Fearless Friday Forecasts > Doogfestival weekly picks
DJ's articles with quotes from REAL Husky Legends > Boy stalking Ektard lies
Also, I am pretty sure the AD SHOULD be tuning into this site. DJ will never say how many active (once a week types) posters and lurkers we have here, but it is a ton. Sure, 10 or so dominate the conversation, but I bet you ten times that many read it all the time (HI KIM). And, perhaps most importantly, why would the AD need to monitor a site like Doogfarm? It's a rainbow circle jerk Sark is great unicorn fart land over there.
However, here, you have people like me, who used to give thousands per year to the AD, and have not gone to one game, bought one shirt, or sent one dime in donation to the AD since 2007. And look, I am not some big wallet type at all, but I still used to contribute, as much as I could afford, because Husky Football was SUPER important to me. I am not the only one here who used to contribute and no longer does. The AD should be all over this site, because it IS the target audience they are trying to woo back - Scott, if you are reading this, knock off the in game theatrics, light whoever started the Crazy larry ad campaign on fire, and get a real coaching staff, and I will begin sending my steady stream of donations again.
You are correct, the over the top nature of this site will deter a segment of the fanbase. However, sometimes mockery is the best medicine, and this stuff needs to be said. Other than Softy's FB page, and the Times comments section, where can you go to see the people who are sick and fuckign tired of losing or being mediocre? Well, here. So, if you are here, then take the good with the bad, contribute or lurk, but realize this won't be happy unicorn land until we start winning, and I will not stop posting picture of hot chicks with tats until I can replace those with a real Coach hoisting a Rose Bowl trophy. -
