    Horrible presentation, over-analysis of the mediocre M's, seahawks shit talking, and a film review of D3: The Mighty Ducks. Great site.

    Way too much fluff, but rallying the old dawgpack guard is awesome and deserves praise. Nice work Alex and everyone else.

    If there is one thing I know, it's that the targeted demographic of potential DawgPack members definitely reads Scout.com Fatters articles.

    I'll wait until DawgNews, PurpleDawgFan, AuburnDawg and Taft weigh in before I make a decision though.

    This was tequila long article for " if the team is good the dawg pack shows up." The whole premise of this article is the return of the dawgpack as if gano or Akita somehow were the gasoline. Um, it's called winning and putting interesting players and gameplan to watch on the floor. Gano hasn't been able to rile up fans to attend this year till game 15??? Great poont

    I gotta say, really enjoyed the part where Alex tosses in skipping class after the zona game and the very next section mentioning being responsible and going to class. Nice work gents.

    I saw that article as well ... two of KJV and the LPT's favorite topics:

    1) the importance of the Dawg Pack

    2) sucking off Alex Akita

    I'm sure there is a round of back slapping over at dm for the admirable efforts of the dawgpack. By no means will anyone deny a full house can effect a game. But to act as if these two have anything to do with it is downright laughable. Gano probably also"hosts" recruits as well

    What a novel idea ... offer free tickets and people show up.

    If they want to know why people aren't showing up to UW hoops games, it's because the price of the tickets are way too high.

    As for "hosting" recruits, well ...

    And Akita is a fucking idiot ... he acts like he is a somebody when he really doesn't have a fucking clue.

    The difference in the dawgpack last game was staggering. From 12 people to full capacity. That's impressive and we'll need showings like that in conference. I knew Akita at UW and he wasn't always a weird Kim-esque sycophant. His blog is dumb and his pro-Sarkisian comments the last two years forever damned him.

    I'm just happy the pack is showing up. And I don't just think it's winning that turned it around so fast. I was contacted several times on FB and LinkedIn by old pack members telling me that admission would be free for old members.

    Also, he's right about the type of students at UW now compared to just 10 years ago when we were there. The fobby international kids don't give two shits about basketball. Local h.s. kids who plaed or were into sports and had GPAs in the 3.6-3.8 range don't get into UW anymore.

    The geeks and Asians at UW don't give a shit about sports. Or getting drunk. The student section looks like the revenge of the nerds.

    This part is 100% true ...

    The only part of the story that rang true to me at all was about how getting a game at the IMA (particularly on a Friday) in the past was a 45+ minute wait and the quality of play was strong. Today, there's hardly ever a wait the 1-2x per year that I show up to play and it's hardly worth the time or money to go down there.

    IMO, the UW needs to get back to making sure that they are bringing in the best/brightest of the local students into the UW. As the Seattle market continues to grow going forward, part of the buy-in from the local companies will also be tied into how their kids are able to get into the UW.
