Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Scott Woodward: will he be a Stone Cold Savage or a wilting flower?

I respect the DM guys. They turn out rumors for a living, treat their customers like dog shit, yet always seem to have an endless supply of doogs lining up to send them money.HFNY said:Because I think it's important for Hardcore Fans who want to strive for more continue to read opinions that don't toe the party line.
I kind of feel sorry for the DM.com guys (please don't hate me for saying that)...they just aren't in the best spot right now...they probably know deep down that Sarkisian isn't "The Guy" but they rely on his and Woodward's good graces for program access, "insider" knowledge, and coach/player interviews.
Only in America.

If we finish 4-5, Woodward is full of shit because he was pretty clear in a Seattle Times chat that he expected improvements. He was asked about 7-6 and 5-4, and said he would not give a win total, but he expected more wins. Of course, he will have bullshit excuses like tough road schedule, banged up Price, incremental progress in other areas, stability, etc. I think we are fucked.

Inside access is the biggest load of bs. All they do is follow twitter and hound recruits a bunch of times. Maybe get an interview here or there with sark every few years and a couple of assistants in the off season. That has very little to do with the success of their site.HFNY said:Because I think it's important for Hardcore Fans who want to strive for more continue to read opinions that don't toe the party line.

These toolbags just like to feel "in the know" and be around the program for their own egos. I can get better info that has actually been put through multiple sources on the Seattle Times Blog.

See how this works? Doogs are like fucking Obamacrats. Here is your answer...Nothing! They don't care about our interests.HFNY said:
Organize a march? Organize a press conference? What can we do to getWoodwardthe Gubmint to act in our and theprogram'scountry's best interests rather than their own?
Sark says "we're closing the gap" after getting hammered on the road, by an unranked opponent, for the 3rd straight year. And after the 3 game dreckfest for the 4th straight year.
It's not that Sarkingham believes this shit....it's that he knows all of the doogs will.
What we can do is absolutely nothing...I suggest taking up golf or fishing on Saturdays.

I just don't think it's good enough to complain but to channel that frustration / energy towards getting RESULTS.
Does anyone have any better ideas than mine? Surely some of you are more creative / intelligent than me, right? -
Why is this a weekly discussion?
He is the Pool Boy. He will act accordingly. People wishing and hoping he somehow magically stumbled into competence whichever week this thread gets started again after 6+ years of historical data saying otherwise are living in a fantasy land.
And on the off chance something external forces him to hire somebody new (Oakland Raiders or even USC are bigger morons that I'm guessing they are and decide to hire Sark) does anyone really think this time around he'll get the hire correct?
This is your Husky football....7-6 for the forseeable future on a dumbed-down schedule with an occasional 8 or 9 win season balanced with a few stinkers (5/6 wins), and 50+K people willing to go each week to enjoy it.
Cha-ching...

Not go to the games would be the biggest thing you can do. I remember when people said this before they were fearful of losing their seats once they came back on the bandwagon.
We can't fill the stadium as it is anyways. I am sure that they are going to have less student section tickets going forward anyways since they only fill about half of that section.
Just stop buying tickets. An empty stadium is our only hope. THey will realize that nobody is going to go to the games a few games into next year and as soon as sark loses you will start to hear about how he has lost the team and doesn't work hard, you know all the same cliches you heard with tyrone. And we will be well on are way to 3-6. -
But doogs will go....will by tickets...will continue to happily lap up any shit Sark and Pool Boy shovel their way. And at the end of the rainbow there will always be the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl Classic and a "special" next year.
Unless Sark totally implodes (0-12 like) it's a lost cause... -
I still think one could rationally make the argument that hiring a very good head-coach would actually be better for future revenue streams than keeping our current in-over-his-head-OC-for-only-two-years HC.

Doogs will go but the stadium is full of handouts and empty student section. They will give free tickets to all the high school bands and all that crap but it will start to drain on the finances. With the shit schedule people are not going to just keep showing up for a bad product on the field. And if they do the prices will significantly drop. I remember the attendance in the Ty era was horrible but it got inflated by ohio state, boise state, notre dame, and oklahoma brining in tons of fans. Georgia State and Hawaii and all these crap schools will not produce attendance. They have a stadium to pay off now which is a lot different and before. I don't have the math but I am guessing that 45k to 55k a game is not going to be enough to pay it off.
