attendence has dropped by 20 fucking percent, if this continues there's a chance.
We're second to last in attendence to fucking wsu, with a fanbase that will support the team when good, fucking unacceptable

It's what I am hearing.
Be it by blind luck he did improve the coaching situation with the football program. I think Romar is in some serious danger this year and it has ran its course.
Regarding attendance, not only do they suck, but the players are boring. There are no local players. The local guys who people had followed in high school brought crowds. Not to mention, the doogpack had nerds who went to high school with those guys or watch them dominate their high school team. There was a connection.
IT, Conroy, and Nate were all very entertaining, energetic players who were local. They knew how to get a crowd fired up. This team is wooden, even the best players. Fuck, until Overton got in trouble, people loved watching him play. He pissed them off too, but he was a very entertaining player who played in your face, balls out every minute he was in the game. There is no connection with the team right now and I think it goes beyond them not being very good.
I was very fortunate to have been at the game when IT went up against Overton and dropped 51 but Overton got the win.
Even Tony Wroten when he was here he was exciting and we'd had all seen/heard of him for four years leading up to that.
With these guys you don't really know about them until they sign here.
There is no high flying guys who are athletic anymore. The team sucks, their OOC home slate is always shitty and the team is rather boring.
At least two years ago you had Ross and Wroten who had any moment could make you jump off your couch with excitement.
I listened to Rondeau the other night on KJR and he said this is the least athletic team Romar has ever had. Probably true, but who is responsible for recruiting the athleticism?
Romar is a good guy, good rep for the university, but he reached his ceiling a long time ago. If Woody wants to take the program to a higher level a change must be made.
Romar's not getting canned after this year ... not happening.
However, the interest is gone besides those that support him no matter what. He's got to figure out how to turn the tide. It might already be too late.
I'm still not convinced that Woodward would fire Romar ... he's been a good enough representative for us that I'm not sure that we'd want to door.ass.out him.
But I could see a scenario where Romar is casually asked whether or not he's interested in an early retirement.
How about this?
He had a lot of flaws but I'll stand by my exciting comment.
But there was so much about him that was so non-team oriented that it was painfully obvious that he wasn't at Washington because he wanted to win at Washington ... he was there because he had to go to college for a year and decided to stay home.
In many respects, I find behavior like that somewhat insulting.
Serious question, out of all the great UW players were any way better than Wroten their freshman year? I just wish we could have watched Wroten for more than one year, but everyone knew going into it that he was gone after his freshman year. I feel the same way about people who criticized Hawes.
Mods? Devs? Allah?
What kills me is that Romar had a recipe for success earlier in his coaching career with the run and gun style. For a few years we were Oregon Football on a basketball court. It wasn't perfect but was great for a nontraditional basketball school. Why he decided to slow everything down and recruit a bunch of slow Guys who aren't really great at anything is beyond me
