    With how long before the game the players arrive at the stadium, who exactly would this be broadcasting UW's awesomeness to? The tailgaters who already think UW is awesome? There would be no TV crew there yet or anything.

    It would be the entry of the telecast which is where 81% of the audience is. They do the dock shot now along with the fish toss and the Needle

    Something to add to it

    Edit to say on tape

    Or

    Instead of running out of the tunnel 5 minutes before the game hit the beach in a landing craft as Fetters suggests. I like that idea

    This Coker fella seems to be out to lunch. Logistics is not an issue. However, the team showing up on an Argosy Cruises boat would look cheesy. Unless, this Coker guy knows of some other types of boat that could haul the entire team to the stadium.

    How about not worrying about the silly "greatest setting" marketing ploy and instead prioritizing winning? No one cares about the setting, view, etc. if you keep fielding mediocre teams.

    Nothing is more trite than "the greatest setting in college football".
    Love this account, hate this point.

    Yes the greatest setting thing is way overdone.

    But bringing the team in off the water would be epic. Even if it were just once or twice a year it would badass.

    This would be letting the setting speak for itself, completely unlike sending a helmet car around the field with a flag declaring "Greatest Setting".
    Why so serious, Mr. Bully?

    I saw an opportunity to bash Coker and took it. If the image of the team arriving on an Argosy boat is not funny, then I can't help you.

    I’ve never watched a broadcast that covered it live but I’ve seen Clemson players rub that damn rock a million tims.

    There’s this amazing thing called recording these days.

    And it would be an awesome spectacle for those who see it in person. Including recruits.

    TV crews get to the stadium at least a day early to interview coaches, set up equipment, and film scenery shots. They aren’t strapping go pros to the salmon tossers at Pike Place in the middle of the game. They would absolutely be there to film the team on the boat even if it was 2-3 hours before kickoff.

    If you do it for a nationally televised, non-shitty weather September game (think next year when Michigan St visits), then it’s a perfect pregame video package to show leading up to kickoff. Just don’t do it for a gross rainy November game where everyone looks like they’re freezing their asses off
    I think it's a great idea and not thst difficult logistically. I actually think it would be popular enough as a spectacle that shows like GameDay would feature it even if UW was playing a shit opponent on pac 12 network that day.

    Worth the effort. Fans are homos and gobble up shit like this.
    Know your audience
