The End Of Husky Football
Comments

What Harvey is saying...in a convoluted and somewhat inarticulate way, is that the husky fan base has become a lower class group that wouldn't otherwise be attending games if more affluent folks were still buying tickets. I go to games and haven't seen a shift. There are less people, but the demographic is the same. To be clear, Harvey puts me in the lower class, so what do I know?
On the flip side, WSU fans are all students or affluent alums. Everybody says so. -
English 102: don't use more words than you have to.
Lower class? lol, tickets used to be $8 and $25. I doubt if the lower class can afford tickets now. Yeah, the demographics are still the same but the people are different. I used to be drunk and rowdy, now I'm just rowdy. -
What a Huskie means to Harvey Road might be a lot different than what he means to you or I. Hold on, don’t start shaking your head just yet. Listen to me.HarveyRoad said:I commend you all for trying to determine what's happened to the Husky Football of old and putting forth a plan to revive it. The problem is that you're all pointing in the wrong direction. You're to blame. Each and every one of you. You *think* you're helping by starting new message boards and badgering the current and former coaches and administrators. In reality, YOU are the culprit. YOU brought it all crashing down around you.
Just take a look outside of the stadium before a game. How many Starter Jackets do you see? Wal-Mart jerseys? Hip Hop Mariner hats, Sea-Town socks and a Husky Hoodie? Beershoes? Fucking gold spray-painted shoulder-pads?
You see, while the REAL Huskies were abandoning the program (some heading off to Cali) with all the the anti-football decisions coming from Upper Campus and the AD, you fucksticks were given the opportunity to buy seats. Back when Husky football mattered, you slack-jawed, mouthbreathing Southcenter shoppers were blocked OUT of the program completely. Once the DAWG supporters abandoned ship, the tickets were snapped up by empty seats and single-game empty craniums. Consequently, the crowds look like a half-filled Horseshoe in Columbus. tOSU without the wins. Program leeches from Southwest WA, Eastern grads, Sonics fans and a few broke guys from Puyallup propping up their dying fathers who worked so hard to take them to Husky Stadium on those crisp, fall afternoons of their youth...
UW Football has lost its way. Is it Gilby's manboobs? Lambright's ineptitude? Neu's gambling? Tyrone's thoughtlessness or Sark's disgraceful mismanagement that's the problem? Is it Babs? Todd Turner? Mark Emmert or the current blowhard in the magic underwear? No. They're all rubes, to be sure. But, they're working with what they've been given. And, what they've been given is a once-proud program propped up by some newfound TV money to remodel the shanty. They've got a horse racing shyster and a stadium filled with people left with nowhere else to go once the bowling alleys started closing down. Seahawks fans have a new Saturday regular appointment.
Look around Dawgman and dawgboard. Hell, look around here! There's the problem. "Oh, Harv pollutes the board with his shit everywhere he goes and now he's HERE!" "I just want a REAL discussion of Husky Football and not all the crap from the trolls". I'll tell you who those "trolls" are. They're HUSKIES. And, they're fucking miserable looking at the lot of you.

Some people kiss their Huskies on the mouth. Some people let their Huskies eat from their plate. Some people dress their Huskies in suits more expensive than mine, if you can believe that.
And some people enjoy proving they have the biggest, toughest Huskie on the street. You’re probably not going to believe this, but I bet Harvey Road loves the Huskies that were the biggest and the baddest. Maybe, he identified with them in some way.
You can still choose to condemn him, but I’m trying to take you inside his mind so you can understand where he might be coming from.

This is an insane post. I'm not trying to be cute.
Blame the fans for pathetic AD performance over the course of more than a decade? The fan profile you describe is the result of a loser program, not the opposite. People like Harvey Road are the reason Husky football is dead.....they lack the courage to call out the enemy. -

2. Husky football became a loser program when Husky fans learned to love a bunch of losers.
