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.

Lower class doesn't always equal lower income.

Just look at Mark Emmert.

If you remove the flippant tone of the post and look at what he is saying, there is some truth there to what Harvey's saying. But here's the part Harvey's missing: Just like the current state of the country, had Romney won, then a lot of money that people have squirreled away and sat on during the Obama era would be re-entering the economy right now like a gusher. Investors and entrepreneurs we thought were gone would be back in play.

The same thing would have been true had we hired Mora in 2007. We would have seen a lot of DAWGS come back into the fold. But we stayed with Willingham followed by Sark, and the DAWGS continued to leave and not come back. Attendance is still down.

If we were to hire Mora or Gary Patterson now or next year, that would be the barometer by which to judge all this. If the new fans entering the fold were simply bandwagoners, then Harvey would be largely correct in his assessment. But I think there would be a big sigh of relief from a lot of DAWGS and they would come back with relief.

The nation went with Obama, and we live in an ever-increasing anti-business climate. If UW football continues along the same path it's on, a new stadium won't make much difference to the Huskies being what they were and could be.

There's all kinds of gushers in finance these days and the only kind I want to see are $250 million renovations of crumpling condemnable football stadiums where real man-jobs are unavoidable. But the kind of gushers that will blow us away are the kind you and the Mormon manikin want....... money chasing money at Wall Street casino, capitalism for capital's sake while bridges continue to fall into rivers of steelhead fishing fame. In truth, nobody wants to take care of business like we used to and for that we're left with watching Trees and ducks take our marbles.

This thread could use a crisp bump in lieu of recent massage bored activity.

You pander your stuff awfully hard, Harv, but it's no use. Not even you can pollute a message board with vapor. As for what wasted Husky Football, The Seattle Times got there before you could eat their shit.

Harvey Road was a prophet who died for our sins.


Lather, rinse, repeat.

Patterson? Got a nice ring to it. Real close to Petersen.

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.

BAM!!!
