They can be butthurt about getting their seats moved, they're still probably closer to the game than in the old stadium setup (#MyTrack) and paying 5% the price of anyone else there.TierbsHsotBoobs said:
Stick the students in the rainy end zone a mile away from the field...what do you expect?Tequilla said:

There was no need to market that hard when they were drawing 70k plus. Now they have to try but there really isn't a demand. If they have the year I expect this year I think eyes gonna be a lot of empty bleachers. I still have not seen a game where they fill the student section.
The duck is right. The only way this is solved is with wins.

Went to the 2013 arizona game when we were both undefeated and there was justifiably a bit of buzz among the doogdom. We sat close to the student section and granted it rained 3+ inches, the student section, which was never full, was 3/4 empty by halftime. That was the worst weather since 2006 OSU when Stanback got hurt and it was raining sideways, just an all around shitty day. but we didn't leave early when we were students because we hazed anyone who left a game early.

Student see bad weather and would rather go back to their frats/dorms and watch on TV ...
Alumni are jumping up and down in the stands and enjoying the fuck out of watching Arizona run and hide on the sidelines and mindfuck themselves out of the game because they'd rather be anywhere that was dry.
But then again, what do you expect when the University's strategy is to bring in a higher percentage of out of state/country students (higher tuition $$$) and losing out on some of the in-state kids who have always had a chip on their shoulder thinking that those of us in this region are always slighted. -

Yo DJ, I'll proofread your stuff if you want. -
Arizona only had a RB named Kadeem Carey. He wasn't very good though.PurpleJ said:
A good running team would have plunger raped us that day. Luckily, Arizona was fucking soft and had vanilla Vick at QB.AtomicDawg said:
I was at that game. Sankey ran the ball like 40 times and Kevin Smith dropped a play action to that was set up off of running the ball all damn day. Go Hawks.PurpleJ said:
I was at that game. Perfect example of why a passing offense on Montlake is fucking stupid.brchco12 said:

A lot of you older fans would be just as pissed if the students still showed up in droves out of school spirit. The Marinerization would be 100% complete, the program would be fucked without a doubt, and they wouldn't even bother to fork over the money for a Chris Petersen.
Instead WE realized it was fucking pointless (I got 3 years of Ty and 1 year of Sark) and spent the extra time getting fucked up and letting the school know they suck in that department. And this despite all of our doog dads bitching at us for not going to the games anyways.
Can't have it both ways. -
Good read and yes I convulse at the night games.... how many times can you loop same shitty ads for three hours straight. It's sorry.
At first I was pumped for the name drop, but then I realized orange pickle and honder were the other two posters mentioned as well. Oh well.....free Pub! -
The Arizona Diamondbacks and the Florida Marlins winning the World Series didn't make their horrible unis look any better. Winning will make average unis look great but won't make awful unis look good. UW's current unis are awful. Also awful are Rape U's and ASU's unis no matter what they win.

why? Do they play a lot of football in high school in China and the Middle East?AtomicDawg said:

Yes they are awful, ASU hasn't won anything since Jake the Snake led them to a Rose Bowl, so not a good example. Oregon also has horrible uniforms, but it hasn't had any effect on their following or support, because they win. Didn't Damone put it best, "they can wear pink tutus as long as they win"KoolAidMan said:The Arizona Diamondbacks and the Florida Marlins winning the World Series didn't make their horrible unis look any better.

Disagree. The current uniform, executed in the former school colors of green in yellow, is fucking awesome.greenblood said:
