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

Oh. My. God.

I talked to my dad a little while ago. He's pretty upset at the 8PM kickoff next week and isn't going to the game.

He mentioned that he's seriously considering not ordering his tickets next year.

Now, this is a guy who has only missed two home games since 1957, when he was a freshman at UW.

Wow, just wow.

    I don't know how much good it would do, but that sounds like a situation where he needs to at least write Woodward and tell him. Your dad is not the only guy who has been put in this sort of situation the past 10 years. It's a real problem.
  • I think a lot of the old guard has had enough. Late kick offs, bull shit uniforms, terrible product, Husky Stadium being so commercialized, etc.

    I don't blame him for not going to the game. It's a lame opponent plus a late kick off.

    I really hope we have a bad turnout that will speak volumes to the administration more than anything.

    Unless Sark is fired, I'm dropping the season tix.

    These tickets have been in my family for 4 generations. A lotta crisp Saturday mornings with dad stuff over the years.

    I'll just light my money on fire instead. At least that would be entertaining to watch.

    You make a fair point, but remember... He's the father of someone whom the athletic department considers to be an enemy. They probably wouldn't give a rat's ass.

    It means he would get home somewhere around 2AM-2:30AM. And he's 74 years old now.

    That's my point. It's a late start with a lame opponent with a lame team. If this was 1991 perhaps you would tolerate the late starts but this team? Fuck that!

    I asked him, "So if the Huskies were 6-1 and ranked #4 in the country, we're not having this discussion, right dad?"

    And he said "Absolutely not."
    Exactly! I think next week the attendance will be rough. A program going nowhere vs a shitty team(Cal) with a late start isn't going to draw well.

    I think lack of attendance will play a large role in firing Sark more than these blow outs will.

    Nothing to worry about! All the flashing lights in HS will keep everybody awake. This actually could turn out to be a close game. Cal looks bad, but.... well,....

    I hope people don't go. Watch it on TV.

    We need to get the message across before the season is over.
