TSiO Episode #50: What is an OKG?

[Dennis_DeYoung]

Because blackness is so strong it looks like we take over everyone, so I get why people want to call people with any blackness “black”.

But just one drop of white blood makes the resultant child more likely to be an accountant who eats mayonnaise.

I prefer purity. Once you have non-black people genes, what’s the point of caring about whatever kind of freaky shit results?

Have you seen some of these white people with translucent skin and orange hair? JFC.

Hyperbolic DDY aside, you know there are actually no black people in the US w/o some white blood right? Jus' checking...

I just got around to listening to the pod, and I really enjoyed it.

About the OKG thing. I suspect that Coach Petersen's early experiences at the UW with Naijiel Hale, Darren Gardenhire, Marcus Peters, Lavon Washington, and Drew Lewis, and even Kentrell Love (whose Twitter currently says, "I need $") have made him even less likely to take risks on guys who don't fit his OKG profile.

It's a risk-management thing. For every JoJo Mathis, there was a Lavon Washington. While his program could change the lives of a lot of guys, he still wouldn't be able to reach many kids too. The risk-reward calculus just isn't there, in his mind.

If that's his thinking, I agree with it.

I'm not saying that the UW should focus recruiting resources on three- and two-star guys who work hard and want to be developed. I'm not saying the UW can win a championship with Boise State rosters. I am saying, however, that the UW should continue to screen out guys who don't take coaching and don't handle adversity well.

Jimmy Lake's recent interview boiled down his recruiting criteria into three points:
- Toughness and physicality
- Takes coaching
- Handles adversity

That's it. Nothing about academics. Nothing about a preference for dudes who are into deferred gratification. I'm fine with that.

It's not a perfect process. No process is. But it fits Coach Petersen, allowing him to be authentic with recruits and their parents.

Rather than take greater risks that could endanger the culture and result in more attrition, I'd prefer to let his recruiting strategy play out with the caliber of recruits who are now committing. LIPO.

It really has changed over the years. You can look it up. Hispanics were such a small population that they were white since they weren't black. I've come to realize that even in little old white Olympia we had a lot of Mexicans. Like my high school girl. But she was white. Her dad was full blood and her mom was a blonde (IKW). No one gave a shit. We had 1800 kids before the high school split and one black family. Lot of white trash though so we had that going for us which was nice.

White trash? In OLYMPIA?!?!?!?

Good points, 'lil piss, BUT I'd hate to see Pete get too conservative. We'll still going to have to take risks on some kids who are rare humans if we want to win an NT.

Fuck this Doog bullshit. Seriously.

If you think the coaches know what an OKG is you're a fucking sheep. They have no idea.

Also, all those guys - fuck that. Risk management? What the fuck is this?

How could you listen to the pod and conclude that the coaches know what an OKG is if they thought fucking Brandon Kaho was.

GTFO

Have we gotten an explanation for why Chest is no longer persona non grata? Because that guy is a fucking idiot

TBH I wasn't paying attention when Chest left here, but I don't really remember any of the acrimony or anything. Maybe there was... who knows? IDGAF - he's my dude.

Here are the tiers of Husky fans.

1) Not a Doog (Chest qualifies)
2) A Doog, but is basically smart.
3) A dumb Doog, but generally agreeable.
4) A Doog who is dumb but can take abuse from me.
5) White supremacist Doog (a/k/a "the coaches know more than you about Browning and OKGs"

All of my friends in real life that like the Huskies are basically #2's. Hence, my resorting to the stupid internet to make some non Doog frens.

Doog things Chest did:

Thought his shitty little pod was gonna make it big because he booked Papa "feces in my throat" Victor and Christian Caple.

Brought on HowlingHusky, the number one Doog at doogpound, as producer ("the move to Friday Harbor did wonders for the content.")

Censored himself in order to try to follow through on moves one and two.

Predicted this site would die if the Huskies ever started winning.

Lil Jimmy.

Probably more but I stopped paying attention.

GTFO

For me, one example of a bad result doesn't mean the process should be changed. (Incidentally, I don't buy the argument that Kaho did not meet their character criteria. Having a perfect family is not part of their evaluation, as far as I can tell.)

And even if a recruit can bamboozle a credulous Coach Petersen, as you say Kaho did, the UW's due-diligence process (reviewing transcripts, talking to coaches and teachers, etc.) guards against recruits' false claims. It's not like the coaches just take the kids' word.

Of course I concede the process has flaws, but no process is perfect, particularly when evaluating human beings and projecting how they will perform in new environments.

I'm also confident that Coach Petersen is capable of adjusting as needed. I mean, he's the guy who once banned his players from using Twitter.

But in my opinion it's too soon to make the significant (and risky, in my opinion) adjustments that you advocate.

P.S. Dennis, just because you went to Kent-Meridian and are fast strategy doesn't mean that Coach Pete wouldn't have loved you then or doesn't love you now. He would have. He does.
