Kim Grinolds, the mouthpiece of Husky football, is encouraging all Tyee's, donors, and season ticket holders to e-mail AD Scott Woodward and demand that he force newly-hired head football coach Chris Petersen to open practices to the public and allow more access to the fans (and media). It is a well-known and proven fact that the Seahawks record level of fan support this season was not due to wins on the field but was based almost entirely to Coach Carroll opening up pre-season practices and UW needs to follow suit. Coach Sarkisian set up a fine model for this but unfortunately had to close practices in his final year due to stadium construction. Please, for the sake of UW football, e-mail the AD and let your voice be heard. You are encouraged to make reference to the amount of money you donate to the program in your e-mail.

Please tell me this is the second "whoosh" (albeit, nowhere near the rictor rating) of the day.
You have got to be fucking kidding me.
The G-O-Biz sale is on the horizon. Anyone need a nacho platter, or "Bark for Sark" mouse pad? -
Tyee membership = 23 years
Practices attended = 0
No one cares.
I guess I could go down and chant coach James or something. -
I thought I spoke for everybody. Or not.

It's time for the program to say Later Guys to the Multiple Dicks.
It's not funny anymore. -
Fuck off Kim.
-
I went to some practices in the day (when sark first got hired). It was fun, but I don't really give a fuck. Win games, who gives a fuck if I get to go to practices or not as long as we win fucking football games. FUCK.
Oh, I am also tyee for 10 years now. -
Winning games with sound play>>>>> > watching Jimmy Dougherty chest bump Sark at practice
-
I am second.generation Tyee and usually have gone to 2-4 practices each spring and each fall. I usually learn more about the team then, and enjoy seeing the games afterwards
But I know in this internet age that some people do the same and then say too much online. So though it is fun for me, I am not going to cry like a baby, especially for the media. -
Kim would talk shit on Don James if he was coach. Most coaches have closed practices. Saban and Urban Meyer aren't fucking worried about making fans feel welcome. Oregon has the best marketing of anyone in college football and Chip didn't open practices. Water is wet, Kim is wrong again.
He's so worried about UW making the fans feel welcome. The games weren't all sold out because nobody wants to see an average UW team play Cal at 8 pm. If UW was a perennial top 10-15 team, every game except maybe a dreckfest against Georgia State would be sold out. Maybe it's just this board, but it seems most people are more excited about UW football now than they were the past few years. Opening practices so 150 fans can watch isn't going to do a fucking thing. Those 150 will all be sitting in the stands on game day. -
if I don't get my fix of who lead Husky Jacks for practices I'm going to fucking go apeshit on someone!!!!!!!!
