Got a chance to check out the dogs in person last night (flew out from the south for a few days, lovely city)

Just wanted to comment real quick on the in game entertainment at Husky Stadium.

I thought the Emoji cam was fantastic. I really enjoyed the BECU ad they played a few times as well, nice little jingle there.

Also though it was really cool to tease the students to stay in their seats for a special surprise and then they got little Itty bitty UW flags (jealous, I wanted one).

But shining moment of the night was when everybody turned their flashlights on their phones on and held their phones up high. I've not seen anything like that in SEC country. Amazing. Astonishing. SEC gameday environment could learn a thing or two from you our dogs and the gameday staff. So cool.

Just wish they'd bring back the Oberto Beef Jerky boat races or Chevron (with Techron) car races, those are so much fun.

Lastly, so glad we have places like the zone where you can head out at halftime and grab a nice beverage and some good food before heading back to your seat with 11:38 left in the 4th quarter.

Thank you Jennifer and team!!!!

    Cohen is on the record with the halftime exodus being her #1 gameday (champions) experience priority. Hot tip Jen - sell fucking booze in the stadium and these dipshits will stop leaving. Don’t get me wrong, fuck our fans for leaving early and throwing away a surprisingly strong home field advantage that we had in the first half last night, but selling booze will remedy almost all of it.

    I used to think of it as a booze thing, but now I think it's more that every game 10k people show up where they looking at it as a entertainment event just like going to the movies, casino, bowling, karaoke night at the bar, etc and once they aren't enjoying themselves enough for whatever reason just leave.

    Last night at half it was rainy/windy/the game looked over, etc etc they saw enough and bolted.

    We had 4 guys leave in front of us with 8 minutes left in the 4th, got there mid 2nd quarter.

    If Jen Cohen can fix the cultural attendance problems that are UW football, she is wasting her talent. Companies in America would pay her 20 times her current salary just in consulting bullshit fees.

    It goes far beyond booze at this point.


    This is a great, spot on post.

    I agree. The UW grad demographic is no longer one that lends itself to giving a shit about football. The non-grad fans have transitioned to blowing half their paycheck on nose bleeds at the Clink. So we have who we have in the stands. Might as well get them drunk and monetize the whole thing.
