PrintWhen John mentioned how the Steve Kelley article brought some hatemail out of the woodwork it got me thinking.
Rather than hating, I want to say thank you.
I want to say thank you - thank you to everyone who has helped contribute to this blog, thank you to everyone who has made the boards exciting and interesting.
Thank you to our fantastic managers for a ton of great content and keeping the blog running smoothly. Thanks for putting up with our fanaticism and for running my favorite Husky message board on the web.
Thank you to Kirkd and everyone else who has edited and provided fantastic analysis of recruiting and all the twists and turns over the last few weeks.
Thank you to Lear and others for excellent pieces on Husky stadium and critiques of the team and coaches throughout the season. Opposing opinions interacting and debating civilly and with a genuine interest in persuasion and facts are what help to make this blog so fantastic.
Thank you to all the contributers who have helped to bring so much great content to the blog and helped keep the fanbase informed and interested. You dedicate your time and it is trully appreciated. Thank you Gekko for consistent excellence and thank you Todd for the great contributions you make when you have the time.
Thank you to the many new faces who have stepped up and provided fantastic content of late - I for one am absolutely ecstatic to see all the great new content the UWDawgpound is providing - I know a lot of us basketball fans have been starved but CODawg and Ben Knibbe have provided a fantastic run of consistently well written and interesting content of late. Thank you.
Furthermore, thank you JLee for the awesome comics during the football season! I already can't wait to see the ones for next year (maybe you want to make some for spring ball as well!?) and they really were a great piece of weekly content to keep us all from getting to obsessed and help keep the fun around.
Finally, thank you to each and everyone of the posters for helping keep the content and discussion here fantastic and well versed!
Thank you.

Thank you Purple!!
I love how you turned that negative energy around! I would also like to say thank you to all the contributers here – the regular blog posters and the community as a whole. I have only recently found this gem of a blog, and can’t believe how lucky I am. I am always starved for information and this place has been a cure for my fever (that, and a good dose of cowbell)! The quality of the posts is only outdone by the quality of the people – it is so rare to find a community so respectful and mature in this age.
So I just wanted to say thank you all! I look forward to a long stay.

thanks to everyone here
This place has grown into my favorite Husky community, and it’s been fun to see contributions from everyone grow to where John doesn’t have to shoulder the entire load. I’d love to see us grow the way CougCenter has, with all kinds of great contributions coming from the community, and I see that happening.
100% Agreed
Tons of potential
That is exactly my goal

Thank you guys too!
We had 12,850 unique visitors yesterday! There is just no way that I can please them all.
That is quite an amazing feat for a little old blog that started off with only three regular readers during the dark days of Todd Turner and Tyrone Willingham.
I never tried to intentionally make it the John show but I have had a pretty heavy hand when it comes to directing the way the culture has evolved. It is has really been a pleasure to have been part of building something like this over the years.
I would like to see more young guys like Ben Knibbe step in and use this as an incubator for a career in journalism. The site needs to keep evolving and bringing in young blood is the way to make that happen.
At the end of the third year I took the gloves off with Willingham and Sark deserves the same type of scrutiny. It is part of the job. That is why these guys get paid millions of dollars.

Seconded (eighthed?)
Living on the East Coast, I’m pretty disconnected from Husky sports, at least geographically. John, the rest of the writers, and all of the commenters provide a great place to talk Husky football and feel like I’m back home in the U-District. Thanks so much to all of you!
San Diego here.
Love this blog, but wish I could check it once a day (instead of 10-15 times a day)! Too much good stuff and too many great comments.

It's a great group of HUSKY fans!!!
It wouldn’t be what it is without all the diehard Husky fans that comment on the blog.
