    I recorded the 1992 Stanford game on our? Chinese Pac 12 channel and watched it today. All the young'uns here should watch that shit to see how Husky Stadium used to rock. I was at that game - I like to record as many as possible because some games were a little hazy although I did know if we won. This was the last game in the string of 22 in a row.

    It's not the dawg fans of yesteryear. I am thankful that I was able to experience the glory days and when fans CARED. I had wished Myles could have been recognized by a full house but reality bites. Getting the right pictures of tailgates for Instagram profiles MATTERS, and with so many other things to do in Seattle these days. Students and fans scurried out quickly in the 4th quarter. Not me, I watched the clock hit all zeros. Like a few mentioned, the game was boring.

    Because everyone knew this next game would be all that mattered by half time against Stanford.

    Our fan base doesn't deserve a playoff caliber team. Simply put, we suck.

    I'm thankful for experiencing a good chunk of glory days. Greatest life memories.

    Seeing it most stadiums, not sure you can point to anything unique to UW that's causing it.

    At least half the people I saw were chatting with people around them, taking selfies and fucking around of their phone. Probably watching 10% of the game. Came late, left early.

    Attendance issues have been a 20 year thing, but have really accelerated in the last 10 years. It's not about winning anymore since we are 19-1 last 3 years at home.

    What happens in next 10 years when the 8-10k season ticket holder blue hairs stop going to games b/c they aren't around anymore?

    The attendance trajectory were on, If it's not a rivalry/big game, we are going to be topping out at 50,000 people peak attendance and work backwords from there.
