I Get Surveys ...

I know it has been mentioned already, but the student body composition is a huge issue. A bunch of fucking nerd Asians are not going to fill the stadium. Half the student body aren't even Washington kids anymore.
There are tons of issues, but the big three are shitty team, student body, stupid gimmicky gameday atmosphere, in that order. So, get a real fucking coach, start letting normal kids back into the school, burn Crazy Larry at the 50 for halftime entertainment. Viola.
We are so fucked. -
Because all the Doogs were patting each other on the back watching their fucking social experimentMuttzen said:I had the (dis)pleasure of being a student during the willingham years. Even through most of 2008, it felt like the stadium was more full than it has been this year. At the point when I was a student, it had been about 7 years since being relevant. Now we? are at double the time span of being irrelevant (14 years).
Hey AD, maybe try not putting a shit product on the field for a decade and a half. HTH -
FWIW I don't think this shit survey went out to all season ticket holders, I actually didn't get it but someone else shared the link with me. Left my full, real name on it, I hope they call me but I doubt they will.

The game day experience sucks balls everywhere I've been in the last 10 years. Winning is the only difference. The NBA/NFL influence has made its way to the the NCAA and it's here to stay. Along with the BCS, college football will never be what attracted a lot of us to it many years ago.Tequilla said:There are parts to make comments ...
I haven't gone to a lot of other places in the conference ... a lot of the challenges that the conference has is that so many schools are in urban settings so they probably think that they should fall back to what professional teams do instead of college teams. -
This isn't the 80's anymore. UW is tougher to get into and the average commuter student of the past is going to Bothell or Tacoma these days. The dorms have more students than ever and the Greek System has seen an increase in residents as well.Tequilla said:
From a bigger picture standpoint, I think one of the things that the UW also needs to look at in more detail is it being a "commuter school." Is it interested at all in building community and forming long-standing relationships between its students, the community, and the University? Or is it simply interested in being an assembly line moving students in and out?
8pm kickoffs on Halloween are not good for student or alumni attendance. The P12 and UW has put its emphasis on TV rather than the stadium product. TV delays are too long, games are too long, kickoffs are too late or too early. Then there are issues at the stadium such as not showing controversial plays on replay. The game watching experience has increased immensly at home with HD and DVR. The game experience at the stadium needs to evolve too. Show the fucking replay. Show it lots of fucking times when the refs or commercials are delaying the game. The jumbotron should be there to enhance the experience, not decrease the experience with annoying advirtising and pointless week old tweets. Is there a P12 rule against showing controversial replays int he stadium? Then why don't they show more replays?

I believe the pussy Pac 12 does have a rule against penalty replays.
I'm surprised you're surprised (faggoty wink) -
Martin Stadium (in Pullman) regularly replays footage of plays under review.

The UW gameday experience is certainly lacking, but this is a dumb comparison and you acknowledged it's dumb but made it anyway.Tequilla said:
When you go elsewhere in the country, notably some of the more recent trips that I've taken that have included KState and TAMU, while I understand that they are in smaller towns and community, the fact of the matter is that on the day of the game, the only thing that matters in the community is THAT game. That's how it used to be at UW. It's not how it is treated now.
Whatever the fuck small podunk towns do on gameday is irrelevant.
And complaining about the videos they show during timeouts or whatever, who gives a fuck?
Sell beer at the concessions stands and the experience will improve ten fold. That's it. It's so simple, I have no idea what's holding it back. -
It's in Pullman?Sarksbrownbaglunch said:Martin Stadium (in Pullman) regularly replays footage of plays under review.

They're never going back to letting in 3.5 Washington kids, those new dorms over on 40th aren't going to pay for themselves.Swaye said:I know it has been mentioned already, but the student body composition is a huge issue.
