Sorry, Seahawks, your time has passed. Seattle is Husky town

[HawkGA]

So is it still a Husky town?

Where did anyone say that?

 

[Seafan]

Huskies need to try another Jake.

 

[getnasty]

Huskies need to get by the Sounders first.

The article you posted. The premise of this thread.

(side note, because the article is more for fun than anything, That would've been such a nice win.)

Again, no one here said that, so why ask the board?

In the OP I stated it was "too early" to proclaim that, THAT was the premise of the thread.

A better question might be, is Alabama still Georgia's team?

Huskies need to try another Jake.

Browning is the best option currently. That game was not on him, two t/o's: first one was an oft-practiced scramble drill, receiver was supposed to come back to that spot - second one was an option where an o-lineman blew his assignment allowing a d-lineman in our backfield. Jake didn't lateral late, that's the way the play is designed - you gotta sell it.

It's addressed in the Countdown thread. JSeahawks asked.

Half the damn city went to Wazzu anyway. Attended at least.

It's an optical illusion, they just populate the bars more.

The article that you started the thread with did, however, Dome, so that is what people are well within their rights to respond to.

If you wanted a general conversation on your feelings on it then don't post the article. But you did, and titled the thread as a statement.

Don't get upset because people are challenging that. You don't own the thread, its content or direction simply because it went a different way. If people were all "yeah it is!!" you'd be right there virtual high fiving them

Lol, where did I ever state that people didn't have a "right" to respond?

Me: What I responded to was a fan of another team making a dig at people (me) right after a tough loss by asking if "it was still a Husky town." My intention was to clarify that no one here had actually stated that so: why ask other than to troll? (I never posted the "troll" part)

As for the title, I made it as a "title," referencing a link, not a statement. I made a "statement" right above the link that it was too early to proclaim that it was Husky town. I didn't expect anyone to discuss anything other than what they want to, other than to NOT ascribe statements made by the author of the article to me.

As for being upset, it's bad enough when people assign words or thoughts to you that you didn't profess but then to also assign feelings? Lol, too funny and BTW, I am not the one who felt the need to call people "hotshot" when they got "upset" at a perceived slight.

Now you are telling me what I would be doing if a particular scenario arose? Why would I be "high-fiving" people when I had just stated that it was "too early" to proclaim this Husky town?

This article is an example of the main reason I didn't grow up liking the Huskies. I generally am neutral about them until they play WSU, but the arrogance of Husky fans is insufferable. They just assume everyone is a fan of the Huskies and likes them. I dealt with that shit growing up in a Husky family. My dad loves the Huskies and couldn't leave alone the fact that I don't, and ALL Husky fans I met are just like that, completely incredulous that I don't worship at their altar.

Still better than the Ducks, though.

Edit: I'm jk but c'mon - lighten up, it's Seattle, the height of provincialism.

It's human nature to share with others that which we enjoy ourselves, is it not?

And either way, that's miles better than Cougar fans...seems like every Cougar fan, upon hearing that I'm a huge Husky fan, has to be an asshole and try to undermine my fandom. "Did you even go to UW? I'll bet you didn't even go there. You're everything that's wrong with college football. Blah blah blah."....I've seriously heard all that.

It's obvious bitterness because the Cougars don't have nearly the same level of non-alumni fans due to their lack of success in any major sport in the entire history of the school.
