The boards are still suffering from a post season hangover

[PurpleJ]

We're going 15-0 next year.

 

[sinceredawg]

We saw something in Jan that really fucked with a lot of fans' sense of why give a shit.
Coach fucking bailed - really sucked but fine that happens.
But then all the fucking players bailed. And at that point you HAVE to ask… what am I following? If not a coach. If not a team. What tangible thing have I been giving a shit about? And there's nothing. Some fading memories from college? Purple and gold and chrome and black? Seriously what possible nexus ties me and my heart to this new whatever donor purchase that's being rolled out? Cheer for this? Cheer for what? We're a bag team now. We're cynical as Oregon now but without their shamelessly effective marketing.
Traditional conference rivalries gone.
You can learn the names of new players you haven't seen play yet, but they'll fucking split. You can't give a shit because you'd long followed their recruiting arc, because it was some other coach at some other school who recruited them and we weren't watching that then. We just dropped a bigger bag than Arizona could.
Memories of a great year? Our dick was chopped off the second we stuck it in. All those personalities bailed.
Things have dropped off because there's no actual thing to give a fuck about anymore.

don’t forget to pay money directly to the players you don’t know or care about….or else

 

[haie]

Everyone will be back come August. Cook it.
The off-season is definitely less meaningful but there hasn't been a real national signing day for a few years now.

 

[dannarc]

So, do we start following the NFL? Go Hawks? Same shit happens there, just longer contracts. We follow a team that plays in the greatest fucking setting beat the likes of those fucks from Eugene, Pullman, and now Ann Harbor I guess. It's harder for a jack Doog like me

 

[HairyBallsDawg]

There also might be trauma fatigue. As I've said as someone who started to really understand football in the mid-90s I've been through the Lambo malaise, Neuheisel's descent and firing, Gilby, Losingham, 7-win Sark, Petersen quitting, Jimmy, and now losing a game they could have won in the natty, the coach immediately leaving and the roster bolting. Good times.

Yes, all of this. Plus, the way DeBitch left (and a handful of players) just added fuel to the narrative that Washington is currently a stepping stone school… which is a narrative that we used to enjoy applying to Oregon. Before DeBitch jumped we hadn't had a head coach leave for another college job other than Sark all the way back to a coach that coached here before I was alive.
Now we've had two HCs leave and one is at Texas and one is at Alabama
I want a HC that tells bigger brand schools to Fuck Off like Don James did, and then wins an NC here. And until I get what I want, I will just always be dissatisfied.
On the bright side, we've made the CFB under 2 completely different coaching staffs — something that no other Pac12 school can say. So there's that, which is kinda cool.

The Chiefs want to extend a county sales tax on their fans for an additional 40 years that would hang 500 million on them while they only personally contribute 300.
For stadium renovations. And yes they have already publicly dropped the "if we don't get this, all options are on the table."

This. I have nothing left to add because this was perfect. My give a shit meter is pegged on zero.

[haie]

I wonder what this board would be like if it was a UCLA site.
Chip Kelly was a pathetic failure, then bolted to be an OC in THE SAME FUCKING conference.
They turned around and promoted a former player that has no experience doing anything.
And in basketball where they're supposed to be a top 3 job in the country, yet Michigan immediately went after their head coach and he seemed to actually consider it and might still be.
They're going to be Cal in the B1G.

Yep.
Once fall camp starts I'm sure I'll get interested again. I'll have the roster open on my phone for most games, trying to figure out who the hell everyone is.

I never learned names before unless the player was good enough to MAKE me care. I like this strategy even more now. Plus, it’s kinda kinky.

I usually know anyone returning if they played much the season before. Takes me til mid season or so to get the new contributing players.
That's when there would be close to 70 returning players though with at least 40 that I had seen play before. How many are there now?

 

[haie]

Sure we lost our coach, lost all our best players, fucked up our best chance to win a natty in 30 years, are entering a tougher conference with almost 0 buzz, but the UW Lulu collection just came out.
