    I have a tball game to watch at 10am so can't make it.

    Hell....I'd rather watch a tball triple header than a spring game...or spring preview or whatever it's called.

    I get it, who wants to see a practice, but cmon man. It's thinking like this that gets us our meek 1700 person crowd. TOSU, Oklahoma, Oregon etc all ran scrimmages that didn't involve tackling. No tackling. Who fucking cares what we do. Show up! Watch Eason throw some lasers, watch banked reps throw some pics, watch Trey Lowe be elusive, watch the young receivers try and make sense of our offense, watch the thick thighs of Dick Newton, watch our young and electric secondary. All live, not on a small youtube picture. If you live within 60 miles of Seattle just fucking show up. Christ, level up people! We say we are the best fan base on the west coast and yet we bitch about not being able to see a no tackling scrimmage. Show the fuck up!!! If you live in China like most of our fans then disregard this rant and enjoy the live stream.
    This is some loser ass bullshit. College football is a business and in business it's never the customers fault for not showing up. It's their job to motivate fans to show up. Not for fans to show up no matter what even though we're not getting what we want. That's not how you get change. That's how you get complacency. Until we get a fucking Spring game nobody should show up to that practice bullshit. You want change? You boycott shit. Nobody gives a fuck if they tackle or not! It can be thud tempo with just wrapping guys up until the whistle blows or fucking two-hand touch for all I care. But don't act like there isn't a huge fucking difference between a Spring game with alcohol and concession sales, and tailgating, and everything that goes a long with a real college football game compared to that Spring preview practice bullshit. You want to fill the stands in the Fall, you have to work for it and give the customers want they want. You don't ask the customers to "level up". You ask the business to "level up". That's the way the world works.

    I fucking hate our fans. If I lived in WA i'd literally go to every husky football event. it's insane that even for a shitty glorified practice people won't show up. I was sneaking into Husky Stadium my freshman year even just to watch ty willy "coach" our team.

    I did not. But what does it matter? I don't care about the weather the players already here play in. I care about the weather when top recruiting targets are on campus and so do the coaches. That's why they're waiting until the early Summer for most of their unofficial visits.
