Penn State rushes the field after win vs Buckeyes in White Out game.
You wouldn't know it because all you could see was the two goal posts as there wasn't one blade of grass that wasn't being covered by 120 yards worth of fans locked in arms singing the schools fight song.
I know Apples and Oranges versus the Beavers, but after our game, there were no students/fans to sing to, so the players got in a circle and sang their school fight song surrounded by cheerleaders.
This group of kids deserve better than that.

The Huskies should start a tradition by running off the field and into The Zone, and sing their fight song for those standing in the beer line.godawgst said:

The zone might eat 2k fans at halftime that don't come back, but yesterday there were at least another 10k that never returned after halftime.DerekJohnson said:

If all you are going to watch is the first half of a game, why would you even come? I will never understand that.

Penn State, even when shitty, has a significantly better game day atmosphere than every single Pac-12 team.
Remember, those people care about Penn State football and nothing else. We have like 10 fans like that. -

I agree with you @godawgst, but until the quality of our (?) opponents improve *and* we (?) restore the tradition of winning, I don't anticipate this changing.godawgst said:

#4 ranking.
Undefeated.
What in the fuck are people waiting for other than perhaps a roster more inclusive of the Rainbow? -
Outside of Stanford, when I look at the garbage crowds of 30-45k 5 minutes before kick, approx. 1/5 of the crowds that leaves at halftime, a student section empty by the end of the third, etc, etc the posi-doog in me says "A generation of potential fans only know us as being barely average as a program so it will take more than 1/2 a season of being elite and special to get them in the stadium every week and to become invested in UW football"Doog_de_Jour said:

But the nega-doog chimes in and thinks "If being #4 and undefeated with this roster, how young we are, how recruiting is going, the apparent re-loading of the program so this thing looks like it is being built to last instead of perpetually re-building doesn't make a person want to get on this train what would?"
Sadly, I am more and more inclined to believe the nega-doog narrative is what ultimately plays out. When Scott W talked about making the new stadium have less than 70k, there was a outcry about taking seats out. I now believe the studies/data they had showed the late 70's-2001 Husky Football I grew up on was dead and not coming back -
Around 2002, there was talk of expanding the stadium to 90,000. It seems almost crazy now. I remember seeing artist's renditions of it.
My best guess is people are still in LIPO mode. Also, aren't tickets crazy expensive now? I haven't been to a gayme in Husky Stadium since Notre Dame in 2005. -
Tickets cost more than people are willing to spend. It's not the absolute cost as much as they'd rather do other things.whlinder said:Penn State, even when shitty, has a significantly better game day atmosphere than every single Pac-12 team.
