While I hated the ad campaign with every fiber of my being, I don’t blame any of the actors/models that appeared in it.
So @CrazyLarry (if that is in fact your real name), what did you think of the whole thing? Were you paid well? Anybody recognize you in real life?
I’ll take my answers off the air.
UW wanted Wexley to pitch them a season ticket plan to fill a specific 300 level section of Century Link. It was an 11th hour pitch that they wanted done quickly to make up for a season ticket blind spot they didn't anticipate. Despite how much you all hated it, they sold the tix. I remember that was the year that Captain Husky retired and a bunch of people thought it was some lame attempt by the UW to fill the void. It was a different lame attempt.
I have been a Husky fan for years and I got paid well + season tickets. It was weird. Really fucking weird. I have been on posters around town for comedy shows, but this was next level shit. I would not do anything like it again. No regrets tho.
On the way to the game through that Crazy Larry tunnel, I would hear people talking shit and they would turn cowardly pretty quick when I would talk to them. I was at Safeco grabbing a couple of beers in the Pen before a game and these two guys came over to tell me what they thought, but ended up feeling bad and grabbed the next round. People were more nice than rude, tho. If people are dicks, they are the anonymous gunt-scratching incels yelling at sidelines to put Nick Montana in.
And my name is not Larry.
No offense, and I'm sure you're a nice guy, but the fact that it worked means Seattle is FUBAR
I just deleted the post where someone jokingly threatened to kill Crazy Larry. I sent the poster a PM saying if I see that again I will shut down his account.
This is supposed to be fun.
It feels like it has been on the upswing this season, but maybe I've always been dealing with it and then just erase it from my memory

Like it's different if people know who you are I'm not gonna be super mean
