Maybe Sark can get a fat gut and we can all turn into white trash fans so the conversion to oregon will be complete.

If alabama doesn't need to change its helmets to recruit well and win games, why do we? Of course, I could be just a curmudgeon.

Because we suck and our fans suck. There are two ways to recruit well: to win games or to do everything else. Our program has chosen the latter.

Fixed. The trash in eugene has done both.

Actually, I heard these helmets will help our OLs play better.

Most doogs would like these helmets. Not surprised one bit.

I like the helmets, but I don't like the timing or context of it. Sark is going no huddle just like Chip did. We're modeling our helmets just like the Ducks design theirs. This all sends a message that we're disregarding our own traditions in order to try to be like Oregon. And I don't like it, nor do I think it's necessary in order to be successful.

Ohio State, Michigan, Florida State, Miami, Texas, Oklahoma and Notre Dame all have alternate uniforms and helmets. If they do "need" to change what makes you think UW doesn't? Shitty anecdotal evidence, as always.

And those helmets are dope btw.

They don't need to change. Those are just bitter and political money grabs.

He's just finishing Todd Turner's work of turning UW into Oregon(minus the wins).

I think you're over thinking this. Sarks going no huddle because lots of people are and it works. They're changing the helmets because lots of people are. I don't know if it helps in recruiting or not though.

Oregon was the first or one of the first to start a lot of things that are popular now. UW is just following the herd not trying to be like Oregon. Although there would be nothing wrong with trying to be like Oregon IMHO.

I think "everyone else is doing this, we should do it too" is different from "let's try and be just like Oregon".

I agree with that.

The problem I see is that Sark isn't doing any of the Oregon stuff better than Oregon does.

It's just further confirmation that Washington is truly Oregon's little brother now.

I've been reading a lot lately about the bebop guys that shook up the jazz industry in the mid 1940s to mid 1950s. In fact, they were a lot like the HHBs. They thought that the swing bands smacked of conformity and did everything the opposite of the mainstream until it came to pass that THEY became what was hip and cool.

Charlie Parker led that revolution and played a totally different style of music. He REALLY stood out. But in subsequent years, and even after his early death, lots of imitators tried to dress, act, talk and play like him. But they were just cheap imitations. Had he stayed alive, he would have been doing something different by then.

So... Washington is like those cheap Charlie Parker imitators.
