Subject: Consideration of new term for inclusion in Poke lexicon.
Gentlemen, I propose we label the Poke debacles, such as that witnessed against CSU, as the “Ole Number 6.” While not a completely regular occurrence, the Pokes put forth enough “WTF just happened” type of (terrible) performances to justify a common term for reference. Term will encapsulate the inexplicability of these performances and the utter disbelief, frustration, despair, and depression produced from one of these performances. When used, the simple term “Ole Number 6” implies an ass kicking that defies belief and also infers the questioning of any or all of: 1) Why God hates UW fans, 2) Coaching ability and acumen of the HC, 3) Coordinator/s ability, 4) AD ability / dedication, 5) Motivation, 6) Pride.
Advantages of use:
1. If a fan simply cannot reconcile the event just witnessed, said fan can simply acknowledge the term “Ole Number 6.” Example- If asked the result of the CSU game, the reply can be as simple as- “Damn, Pokes just got Ole Number 6’d.” No other descriptors or conversation needed and fan can go on about other business.
2. Journalism- Only a headline required. Example- Headline of Texas State game could read “Bobcats Served up the Ole Number 6.” No article required.
3. To specify past events- “The Ole Number 6 Utah State Game.” All fans know exactly the game in question….eliminates the need to look up year, score, etc.
*It is intended / expected fans will further creative use of the term.

Taggart: I got it! I got it!
Hedley Lamarr: You do?
Taggart: We'll work up a Number 6 on 'em.
Hedley Lamarr: [frowns] "Number 6"? I'm afraid I'm not familiar with that one.
Taggart: Well, that's where we go a-ridin' into town, a-whompin' and a-whumpin' every livin' thing that moves within an inch of its life. Except the women folks, of course.
