Mad Son's Ramblings - October 30, 2013

"The season is over," Mad Son writes in this week's Ramblings. "A year we could be building a program with a coach who can take us all the way has been sacrificed to appease the wallets of the  Husky Zombie Apocalypse."

AssU. Lol.

Quidditch reference is pure win.

And yeah, all you idiots stop giving the AD money. That is our only voice here. Vote with your wallets and shit. I hate that I haven't been to a Husky game since 2007, nor have I given a red cent to the AD since 2007, nor have a purchased any UW gear (my sweatshirts are all threadbare now) since, you guessed it, 2007. But, I am also not supporting idiots and mediocrity.

When UW gets serious, I will get serious.

People wear sports gear to weddings?

People go to weddings wearing school colors? Must be duckfucking granolas or sodbusting cooglosers.

There was a time, a half century ago when I initially began my UW alumniship and first year of non-student season ticket buying, that Huskyfans shunned wearing school colors anywhere even to football games unless it were purple shirts-and-tie underneath a classy sports jacket with slacks and a long raincoat or wool carcoat when the weather got cool. Many of us had UW lapel buttons and bought our wifes or girlfriends if we were lucky enough to have one of those a gameday flower corsage of some kind to proudly wear.

Husky Football back in the 1960's was in some ways a stepping-out event and the schools colors were understated if considered at all. Hasn't it become mostly that way again when from one week to the next we don't know what the fuck our school colors are or will be for the next game and what the team wears is totally commercialized by the likes of Nike under the banner of "It's what the kids like"?

If you want to send the AD and head football coaching pretender a message, stop wearing the colors whatever they may be for the day's game: purple, gold, black, white, whatever and stop buying Husky and UW merchandise. Boycott shirts, jackets, hats, gloves, belts, ties, scarfs.......everything plus overpriced food and beverage. Put the Husky shops and stadium concessions out of business.

Above all, don't stay home and deprive yourself, family, or friends the enjoyment of live football. The players at least deserve that we show-up in some form. We simply don't need to look like Huskyfans until real Husky Football returns.

My dad went in a suit and tie and he and my mom would go out to dinner afterwards with the couple they took to the game. Then the Tyees came up with a purple sport coat he would wear. He was buried in it. True story.

Disagree. The players on the roster that aren't graduating this year need hope.

Empty seats at home games can only be depressing for all, especially the players........ and with the Nike boutique the kids love to wear these days while they struggle to avoid getting blown off the scoreboard, school colors don't matter.
