On Yella’s Muzak Bored he questioned why members of grunge bands were depressed. Seattle was “way cooler” in the late eighties and early nineties, and UW football was kicking ass.

That got me wondering about Seattle and its relationship to UW and Husky Football during that era. That was a bit before my tim, so I’m curious - was Seattle as enamored with the DWAGS back in the day as it is with the Hawks Sounders Kraken now?

    Didn't live in the city either, but in a shithole county in the state. I remember the Seahawks being a joke and real football talk all around The Dwags. "You know, the Huskies WOULD BEAT the Chickenhawks loloolollloollo."

    Holy crap, I totally remember that argument!

    Prime Sports showed up on cable in 88 with a Saturday afternoon game and full Husky replays on Sunday night.

    Q13 took over the coaches show.

    When the Hawks talked about hiring James in the early 80s after 3 Rose Bowls people threatened to cut up their Nordstrom cards. Nordy got out not long after. The Hawks hired Chuck Knox and James got paid by UW

    Really?That’s amazing.



    Though I don’t like the idea of cutting up my Nordy card. 💄👠👜💍👗

    The only thing I'll add to what's been said by @dnc, @Fire_Marshall_Bill, etc. is that I believe there was a waiting for UW season tickets in the 80s and 90s while there were people trying to sell their Seahawks season tickets. That might be a bit of hyperbole but it's pretty close to true.

    All the faggoty liberals and the transplants hurt UW football's standing in the city. I despise the transplants who are HUGE 12s.

    Seahawks had a huge season ticket waiting list in the late 80s I know that. Wouldn’t shock me if UW did too.
