Ha, you said “beat you off.”

WSU is opposition in the Pac-10 the same way the Green party is opposition in the presidential election.

. . . do you really believe that Kelly allowed Blount a second chance only because he wanted to beat [insert school here]? He set the reinstatement date AFTER our games against Cal and USC, and even after the reinstatement, kept Blount on the bench until the Civil War against OSU. When Kelly announced the reinstatement, I don’t think anyone was predicting a Civil War for the Rose Bowl.

. . . do you really think Kelly should have suspended Masoli and James when they were arrested? What happened to “innocent till proved guilty”? He waited until their pleas, then announced their punishments the same day.

. . . do you really think that Kelly cares only about wins? If so, you’ve been reading the headlines but not the articles. It seems to me that Kelly cares more about the kids he’s coaching than about getting wins (and not at all about what the press or fans say). When Blount’s punishment was announced, I thought it was overly harsh, though not unjustifiable. (I mean, we’re talking a one-game suspension in the SEC.) When he was reinstated, I took a little heat here on the ATQ site for arguing that Kelly’s reversal sent the wrong message. I changed my opinion as I learned more about what Blount had had to do to earn his reinstatement, and saw how he was being used (not at all until the last game of the season).

. . . do you really think that a full year’s suspension of the team leader, and one of the country’s best QBs, merits a “So what”?

. . . do you really have a problem with Kelly’s clear policy of allowing his players to earn back their places on the team, and in any event to finish their education, even if they never again suit up? These are kids; they made mistakes. No defense here of what they did. But have you ever made a mistake? Did you get, or want, a second chance?

I’ll echo Benzduck’s warning from his post – DO NOT go to other message boards. I made the mistake of wandering over to ESPN’s boards yesterday and every post was similar to this, except not nearly as well written and with a lot more insults.

Thanks for the parody, cougfan.

Should someone maybe just c/p the discussion from the Staples article over here? I have a feeling it’s gonna happen again.

It is clear that Copy-and-Paste skills are thoroughly covered at Wazzu, but absent a single (derogatory Nike reference), I must return this with a grade of incomplete.

 Hah! you are utterly pederstrian, and an amatuer in the art of duck bashing. We have been blasted by the best of the best and like “water off a ducks back”, your post has been duly round-filed. I could return the favor, but that would take time and effort. I, like much of the western world, are totally indifferent toward the cougs, and bashing cougs would be akin beating a dead horse. At least you finally had the opportunity to post something about a football team.

Nice job as usual, cougfan.

cougfan: I can understand why a coug fan would bash a duck! Not much going on in that hole in the ground you call Pullman WA.Plus that group of retards you call a football team,is a huge joke! So go ahead bash away at, the ducks! Wont be the last time, we have heard it al\l befor and it makes no differance what kelly does he will all insults over and over again!! So lets see what is said about the ducks,after this season is over,and they have kicked ass on the pac with a new QB!!! GO DUCKS GO THUGS!!!

But when are the details of the ATQ bracket contest going to be announced?

I don’t see how 2 percent of the team misbehaving has something to do with Chip Kelly. He isn’t their Daddy. These are 18-22 year olds, no one is blaming my parents if I get an MIP (not that that is possible now at my age). But seriously I fee like people have some sort of unrealistic perspective of what chip or ANY coach is to play in the life of a football player and their role in society. My guess is he doesn’t go around telling players he condones drinking while driving and spousal abuse.

Do people really have to know who cougfan is in order to understand that this is sarcastic? I do know who cougfan is, but come on — it’s perfectly, 100%, completely, totally obvious from the content alone (rather than from the context) that it’s a tongue-in-cheek post.

For a bonus context clue, how would it have been forced onto our front page if it was serious?

It appears that everyone has their guns loaded and are ready to fire at the first sign of someone pissing on our team. Guys, people are going to piss on our team. It’s okay. It’ll fade eventually.

That was brilliant. I got what you were trying to do instantly and it was genius. That’s why I can’t believe you’re actually a (derogatory name for drunken stupid Coug fans).

I don’t understand how with the things that WSU is going thru this offseason you can in a right mind point your finger at Oregon. I mean take a look at your own program before you start to bash us over here.

I wish the mods would just ban people everytime they came on here and made derogatory statements about the Oregon program.

How can we have a reasonable conversation about what a great school Oregon is when we have to deal with all of you guys coming over here and interrupting our conversation with your asinine opinions.

Go back to your own blog and try and fix your own program before coming over here to tell us what you think is wrong with ours.

Also, everybody remember…

Sometimes A Takimoto Is Rendered Embarrassed.

also sarcasm via text is hard to detect. Especially when half your friends attend OSU and actually believe that crap.

got a great laugh out of the original post and an even better one from the hilarious (and hilariously predictable) outraged responses.

This thread is making Phil Hendrie smile.

I loved some of the reactions. It was classic. It got some people fired up, so they started attacking the Cougs (or Beeaavers?). For some readers that was a smoke-and-mirrors, tongue-and-cheek, lampooned, snow job of a satire.

Nobody may see this, but I’d like to point out this is the first result for “sarchasm” google image search.
