    Pussification and Marinerization of Seattle and WA

    It has nothing to do with Seattle & Marinerization. Thats a common belief here but its wrong. If thats the case then how are the Seahawks the best team in the NFL now? Why have expectations for UW football changed from 1998 when Lambo was fired for 6-6 until today? Seattle isn't much different than it was then. Eugene is a pussified liberal city who had the #2 program nationally weeks ago.

    Mark Emmert's tenure (2004-2008) is what lowered expectations all around….from fans, media & UW.

    I actually think the success of the Seahawks makes the Husky mediocrity more tolerable by most, what with the shared fanbase and all.

    Thank you, Chest. Our non-Seattle posters -- bitter and cynical as they are -- somehow view Seattle in a negative light. Which makes no sense given that we have some of the best fans in the country.

    Seattle is the worst fucking sports city on the planet and it's not even close.

    Hope this helps.

    No coach gets fired for their record, they get fired for empty seats and loss of revenue, which is a symptom of poor records ... caused by a bad coach.

    Lambo was fired because Babs wanted more Olympic Sports funding and needed a splashy hire to do so.

    I don't live in Seattle anymore, however, nobody seems to care the Mariners suck, no seemed to care when the Seahawks sucked ... and the NBA team actually was taken away.

    Seattle has major bandwagon fans ... they go when people are winning ... could care less when they lose.

    LSU survived Emmert, but Seattle can't ... why? Because Emmert is as political as they come and knows his audience.

    Ty Willingham and the complete lowering of UW expectations going on over 10 years now due to losses
    Lambo was fired bc the boosters demanded it. Check with Race on Emmert @ LSU. Hiring a football coach there was of extreme importance.

    There is some Marinerization of husky football…other than that you guys are off base.

    When three of the four biggest games in town have been Marinerized or Sterned, it's a sign that the city sucks ass as a sports city.

    Doogman.com, SeattleTimes and the like. No one with the stones to call out UW/Sark for mediocrity.
    I voted for the media one because although no mentioned in here Softy was the original Doog. He is still the biggest Doog even though MykFS and Cody Woofkens try their best to out doog him he won't give up his crown.

    I get that Softy can't just come out and be like us on the air. However, you can tell even if he didn't have his show he'd still be a full blown Doog.

    Look at how he acts when Oregon loses or when UW defeats a shit opponent.

    So they care? Is that what you're saying? They have more care they could give?
