Griswold is also incredibly stupid re: basketball
One poster ventured a guess that maybe, just maybe, people don't like to pay money and spend hours of their weekend watching a team with no star players and terrible fundamentals lose by double digits.
It seemed like a logical conclusion but Kent dismissed this as a lame and lazy excuse from someone who obviously didn't understand how things work.
I'll update everyone when Kim makes his "get Alex Akita and the Balla Twins involved" response....or he might just jump straight to blaming Petersen.

I thought for sure this was going to be about the DawgPack.

He's such a fucking retard.
Even during the last couple year of the Holmgren era and the one year with Jim Mora the fucking Seahawks had some empty seats at home games. The games were probably sold out, but there were obviously people with tickets who didn't go to the games.
Why? They only won 4 and 5 games those two years!
Who are you going to blame there? The shitty marketing?
Die in a pool of AIDS. -
I was just about to say that it's about time that KJV starts blaming and deflecting everything away from Romar and onto everybody else. It's clearly the fans' fault that the team is losing because of a lack of support.
Anybody that can't see that this was a flawed team to start the year that had a nice stretch due to Upshaw being able to find ways to erase their flaws/mistakes but finally started to get exposed for what they were (being highly mediocre) early in the conference season and then Romar deciding to get out in front of it all by dismissing Upshaw so that the average idiot would blame the dreckfest on Upshaw's drug problems and not on the fact that Romar's recruiting for YEARS has been terrible and that's before talking about player development, preparedness of his team, or in-game coaching ever comes to the table that Romar's been lacking in for at least 81% of his tenure, then I don't know what to tell you. -
Grinolds has a poont. It is possible to deliver atrocious content and still find fucktards willing pay good money for it. Just look at his website.

The UW should hire Ken, as a marketing expert to generate buzz and fix it. He did such a great job with Dawgman.

the marketing department organized the blackout vs Arizona. All that work, all the fans who worked to show up were blessed with a god awful performance than just showed the difference in the top of the pac12 and the base.
If anything, kem should be blaming the basketball team and the architect for laying an egg when they had a chance to get more butts in the seats by being even slightly competitive or entertaining. -

A shitty basketball team can't compete with a sunny weekend in February, I went to the game but really thought about just staying home and cleaning the gutters instead. When fans would rather do chores than go to the games, you have a problem. When you've lost the students it's game over. Walking over to Hec Ed there were tons of students out running, playing soccer, playing football etc.. yet only 25-30 of them bothered to show up for the game. Marketing? The team does their own marketing by losing constantly and based on attendance I'd say they're succeeding.

I played 54 holes of golf this weekend ... the only time I thought about the Dawgs yesterday was in wondering how much they lost by without even knowing the outcome yet.section8 said:A shitty basketball team can't compete with a sunny weekend in February, I went to the game but really thought about just staying home and cleaning the gutters instead.
