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

Scott Eklund knows why Husky football isn't as popular today as it was in '91

    Gameday atmosphere will never be what it was before social media, mobile devices, and HD tv.

    I'm a loser and self proclaimed sports historian who watches way too many hours of classic old footage. Whether it be college basketball, football, NFL, etc the common theme I see is that the crowd is completely engaged in the game every second. There are no selfies, phone calls, stat checks, whatever. The only thing they can do is watch the fucking game.

    The ADD nation reigns supreme now. Except for rare, heightened moments, the crowd is never fully there. It will never be the same. 4th and goal? Get your phone out and SnapChat what happens so you can show your friends you were there!

    Then how do you explain the great-as-ever gameday atmosphere at C-Link and Autzen?

    Hint: It rhymes with "spinning."

    Oregon has zero gameday experience and Autzen is packed except for the drunk students.

    Not true - I've been there with a friend and their indoor practice facility (Moshofsky Center) is packed on game days. Food/drink, live music, cheerleaders, team walk through and stuff. Not saying it's the best out there but it's way more than Zero. Of course they're all expecting a W, mostly lopsided, so that sets the tone.
    Only fags go to the team sponsored drinking clubs.

    Hope this helps.
    Why would I leave my seat? The beer is colder

    I think you're missing the point. UW has all that bullshit too. The Zone, food, drink, cheerleaders, team walk through.

    The difference is Oregon has been winning. None of that other shit matters.
    No! That isn't the only difference! Oregon has their duck mascot riding bitch on a motorcycle. We don't have anything to compare to that.

    Tailgater Magazine recently voted Oregon the #1 tailgating school in the country. No word as to whether "tailgating" means "parking lot rape" in the context of this particular periodical.
