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

Further proof that UW doesn't care about its fans

@A_Jude
UW-Cal to kick off at 8 p.m. on Oct. 26 for a Fox Sports 1 broadcast. Yay.

    Sven, you of all people know that TV determines game times.

    Absolutely. UW cares about TV revenue and ticket sales (in that order).

    Nothing else matters.

    As does every other college program. So I don't see where you are going with on that. Without TV revenue and ticket sales, you have no program.

    What part of "nothing else matters" did you not understand?

    Programs like Oregon and Stanford actually care about winning too. Washington doesn't.

    Cal doesn't count. #hisven
    I was beating that drum before Harv joined in.

    Cal is Sark's bitch.

    The difference is if Oregon and especially Stanford doesn't win, their fans stop going to games. At UW the fans go regardless. So if you know you will sell out, even without a top program, what incentive is there? Look at the Mariners. How that team isn't 30th in attendance is beyond me.

    We've been calling the decline of this program Marinerization for over a decade. UW cares about its fans as much as the Mariners do.

    I hate to say just don't show up and the problem is solved. By having a max exodus you basically call on the killing of the program. However, if there was just a 20-25% drop in attendance that would be enough to spark some movement without killing the program entirely.

    The regulars on this message bored who also attend the games are the worst Huskie fans I know.
