If you need some smack talk in the office......

Priceless. And although UW has no (none)(zip)(nada) team natty's, they have many individual natty's. Not nearly as many as WSU, but still a healthy number.

Thanks, CD. I have one particular arrogant Husky for whom I will hold this info close and use at the right, slightly drunken, moment.

True, they will never catch up to our individual national titles in their lifetime.

Many of you may not know this, but UW has 0 men’s national titles in any sport that are recognized by the NCAA. They are one of a very few teams. I believe Pacific has 0 and Hawaii had a tennis NC that was vacated. Anyway, here is the glorious link to save for when you need it. Lol

Kind of a tired refrain. Big-time football has no recognized titles before 2014. Men’s rowing and a few other college sports aren’t governed by the NCAA. The Boys in the Boat have about 18 national championships.

So UW is a canoe school
 
I was going to run some lake property smack but apparently that violates acceptable board protocol.

They’re student run, participation club sports. Club sports have no scholarships and don’t provide an NCAA sanctioned experience. Rugby is another good club sport..... Record books are record books. UW is one of just a couple schools with nothing in the books. Just admit that it’s kind of embarrassing and move on.

The Sport Club Federation is comprised of student-run sport clubs that work together under the umbrella of University Recreation to provide competitive programs for the students. Each club elects their own officers, provides a representative to the Sport Club Federation Council, raises funds, arranges their competitions and activity schedules, and promotes their organizational activities.

You don’t actually know what you’re talking about. The IRA is older than the NCAA. Crew is not a club sport at UW, Cal, Stanford and OSU.
 
NCAA Boxing had a rich athletic tradition back in the day. I just hope football doesn’t eventually go the way of boxing. Anyway, thanks for posting the link.
 
Speaking of National Titles. Ray Wells Jr has a very good shot at bringing one home in track. He’s #2 in the NCAA in the 60m. If you see him run, he crushes the field.

Sadly, this is more a product of our past prowess than the current state of our athletic programs. I the last 25 years, we have only won 5 individual national tiltles, three by one guy, Jeshua Anderson. Chaplin was responsible for 34 champions in 21 years. That said, I don't think the UW has won 5 titles in the last 25 years.

Seriously? Are you into that ridiculous “Nazis were leftists” nonsense the Right Wing likes to go on and on about? It’s anti-historical.

What part of Nationalist Socialist Party do you not understand? Germany, under Nazism- continued their national health care program...enjoyed complicity with privatized industry (yes, they had privatization, but it was applied within a framework of increasing control of the state over the whole economy through regulation and political interference)...and they ruled all parts of society...etc. You think that is conservative or free-market government rule? Really?

Germany under the Nazis were a socialist, nationalist (not a contradiction), racist big government regime. Not conservative by any means.

This is why I say that I'm conservative, and reject the "right-wing" label....as the academics/media/left have created a false dichotomy of "right-wing" vs. "left-wing".

Both- under their definition- are big government, centralized, and ultimately oppressive. I want nothing to do with big government and centralized power. Our government is way too big as it is. The "right-wing" vs "left-wing" dichotomy should instead be "small, decentralized" vs "big and centralized" government.

Silly and unnecessary to make your larger point. I guess you think East Germany really was a Democratic Republic then? Cuz they put it in the name!

Don’t do bad history just because some John Birchers decide it’s time for a rewrite. If you want to make a libertarian argument, you can do that without doing violence to history.

Poor effort HHusky. I thought you were generally a facts and data guy...not an ideologue.

What matters is behavior/policy/government actions.

It is beyond dispute that Nazi Germany was not conservative (small, decentralized government). You can call them "right-wing", but that doesn't make them conservative...and doesn't escape the realities of how they ruled. They took over the entire economy and the ruled with totalitarian effect. It is not that difficult to understand this.

Use your mind. Yours is generally pretty sharp.

You might want to read this before you try to equate the Nazi party with socialism. For the record, I don't think that I would want to see our country become truly socialist.

You are very confused about the attributes of the right and left. Both include a lesser government faction and a greater government faction. The Nazis were trying to recapture some (largely imagined) glorious past and enlisted big business in a nationalistic effort to do so. Much of the spoils of the effort went to private business interests as well. Little got nationalized, even in a society mobilized for war.

And btw, the German national healthcare system dated from the 1880s, give or take. Your argument about that would be like telling me Reagan was a socialist because he didn’t dismantle social security in 1981. German national healthcare was 50 years old by the time Hitler took power. It was also widely popular.

Nazis are right wing. Communists are left wing. They’re both out at the authoritarian/totalitarian edge of the liberty spectrum. But there’s no need to be dumb about this. The Nazis weren’t leftists. That’s the new know nothing history. Friends don’t let friends rely on Dinesh D’Souza for their history lessons.

Boy, what we talk about when there isn't a lot of sports news.

For the record, both Hitler and Mussolini were fascists. Look that up and compare it to history. The only aspects of either economy that bore any resemblance to socialism were imposed due to a desire for control, not due to a desire to distribute wealth, access or opportunities.

I recall some recently suggested Leach bring him on the team as a kick returner, but opponents would need only to employ a wind machine to prevent big returns.

Women, not men.

UW men wont ever win NCAA in XTC.
Not a good distance town for training, the crappy guy who got fired last summer one of the reasons was whining by some of the rich kid partiers on men's team in Seattle Times (better reasons for firing that guy)

Moos ex assistant now at UNA has had men's NCAA title on lockdown for awhile.
