This but on a boat would be pretty awesome, ABC usually does a good job with this. But only for really big games, otherwise it'll look dumb.dnc said:
I’ve never watched a broadcast that covered it live but I’ve seen Clemson players rub that damn rock a million tims.1to392831weretaken said: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.
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.

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

Okay, team arrives via boat. I'll admit, I think it would be cool, too. That's because I'm an over-40 Huskies fan. Old people also like to go to parades, which is weird.
I don't think there's a recruit in the country who would say, "Yeah, at this school over here, I get a new car and $100K... but I don't get to ride to a game on a real boat!"
If we want to really impress recruits, I suggest an alternate plan: Take whatever money it would cost to put on such a spectacle and--now hear me out--give it to the recruits. That is what other schools are doing and why they are going there.
That and winning. Speaking of which, does breaking normal gameday routine for a publicity stunt (almost certainly in a big early-September P5 non-conference matchup, which the Huskies haven't been so great at winning lately) help or hurt the almost-certainly-more-beneficial-to-recruiting goal of actually winning the game? Would it be more or less helpful if they also put a live tiger in a cage on the boat? -

Small minded thinking. You put on the event, which you just admitted appeals to old people. Old people have old money.1to392831weretaken said:Okay, team arrives via boat.

Old people donate old money.
Give old money to young people.
Profit. -
