I’ve watched like 10 games from the Pete era

Over the past couple days.

1. We missed black people on our team last year. We are turning into an emotionless, joyless team. Like our coach. We miss Kevin King a lot.
2. Myles Gaskin is having the greatest RB career ever as a Husky.
3. We need some emotion.
4. Our team has the temperament of an accountant.
5. We are getting a lot, a lot whiter.
6. We have no black people on our team.
7. I just want to wake up and have it be 2019 and hear that Trey, Hunter and Jordan Miller redshirted.

Thanks to my sick sense of humor, it was at first really funny, too, to be able to read intentionally on the nose and faux racist/sexist/homophobic jokes in a country that’s swerving toward the ditch in a series of overcorrections with regard to political correctness and compassion/decency. Eventually, it just started to seem a bit less "faux"… Bottom line, even if no actual racists participate there (and that would be a huge shock to me were it true), that sheer volume of satirical racism eventually blurs the line between itself and the real thing.

Which brings up a question that I had a hard time shaking: For claiming to be the shining beacon on the hill for demanding higher standards from the athletic department and fan base (particularly with regard to recruiting), I wonder how many recruits either stumbled upon or were linked to that forum, scrolled down to the first thread with a subject line listing a PSA’s details that included "dark skinned," and stopped answering the phone when UW called. Or read dozens of threads heaping vitriol on guys like Browning, Manu, Harris, Chin—young amateur athletes busting ass every day for the team they love—for not meeting the lofty standards of some scrawny internet pantywastes and conflated this behavior with that of the average Husky fan. For being the "Hardcore" fans that are going to push this program to the next level by demanding a raising of the bar in recruiting, how many sensible kids have read their shit and said, "If I’m going to be playing for fans like this, might as well live in freaking Alabama"?
