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

Griswold is also incredibly stupid re: basketball

    I heard a Mariner radio spot the other day, where some actor is pretending to be a business owner who bought four season tickets and then took a client to the game and got more business (or something like that). He was like, "Shazam! The tickets already paid for themselves."

    I found it off-putting in the sense that this is not what going to a ballgame on a summer evening is supposed to represent.

    I wonder how Griswold would explain the Seattle Mariners phenomenon. Here's a team where all they do is marketing. They personally cater to the game attendee who does not care about the outcome of the game, and their attendance is abysmal.

    I guarantee that if someone started a thread a week from now on dawgman questioning why people don't attend mariners games, Kent would say something like "who wants to go watch bad baseball? Until they fix the team, no one will want to waste their day going."

    I shake my head every time I hear that radio spot..

    I'm hearing a good way to get people to go to games is by winning more often than you lose, being in contention for post season.. things like dat.

    I could be incorrect though, it sounds too simple to actually work

    Kent has some ideas. First he would like there to be an application process for getting into the Dawgpack. Only fans who demonstrate on their application how WILD AND CRAZY they are will get to sit in the coveted Dawgpack section. Second, he would like them to dim the lights when the team enters the court. Third, he would like the BBQ to be brought back.

    He finished his business plan by reiterating that saying the product is bad is just lame and lazy. After all, "we didn't close down dawgman when Tyrone was here" (real quote)

    All I can say is, "how do I hire this guy as a consultant to manage my business?"

    I'm gonna go way out on a limb and predict you could get him, and probably for a price...
