Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

When I saw this come out I was looking forward to learning something. I posted it tonight in the Wam. But... Caple lobbed softballs at her and she gave non-answers or canned, cliche'd responses. She was not challenged at all and the whole thing was just a waste of everybody's time. I came away with even less confidence in her ability to lead this athletic department.

Her only strong statements were she's excited about new LED lights in the stadium for the gameday experience, and they're halfway to getting 5,000 new ticket holders. (Net or gross?)

I don't like to be negative about her but this is how I see the situation.

    With LED lights how can we expect to get 20 minute cool down periods when the lights go off during our 11pm games?

    Derek, as head of the largest fan forum for UW sports, why don't you try to set up an interview for your front page/podcast?

    Just make sure you don't end it by shouting "don't tase me, bro" as campus police pin you down

    Did she mention the non-carcinogenic purple smoke they’re introducing next year?

    I’ve got a couple questions for her.

    You had any confidence remaining?

    There’s no way she’s granting any interview that poses hard hitting questions

    Being excited about seizure inducing LED boards sums Jen up in a single comment

    Let's see the questions you would've asked her?
