Kim knows how to fix the dawgpack

I still remember my crazy-fun days in the mid-1960's UW student section at Husky Stadium and so does my son who was there in the 1980's. The marching band was great at the center of it with stuff like "Louie Louie" ("Tequila" was my son's time), but it was the football on the field that got us charged up standing in line waiting to get in hours before kickoff. Too much of the fun went away when Bitch Hedges cracked down on the....... craziness.DerekIsKim said:The Dawgpack for both football and basketball really needs to be figured out. Crazy student sections set the tone for the atmosphere inside. Just put some effort into it. Get a group of hardcore crazy students who aren't fair weather fans who show up when the team wins. It shouldn't be that hard to find a fanatical core. When the AD speaks of competing with big screen HD TV's and the comforts of home, you have to create an atmosphere inside the stadium. The Dawgpack is a good place to start
Whatever atmosphere is enjoyed by the Dawgpack and students inside the stadium cannot be manufactured, no matter how loud Kimberly and Bleener preach about ambiance, concessions, open concourses, luxury suits, fieldturf, blah blah fucking blah. It's not science and it's surely not high school. College kids for the most part beat their brains out during the week and want to let off steam on football Saturdays and there once was no better place to do that than Husky Stadium.
First, the losing to the likes of Oregon, USC, UCLA, ASU, and Stanford...... has to stop, then we'll see how UW students react. Unlike alums and the non-affiliated, students have a narrow 2 to 5 year window in their young lives to catch the FEVER and get truly hooked on Husky Football. It's been a long uphill battle of futility, but we're getting back our game. Unlike cooglosers, we expect excellence where there isn't any real reason to not have it.

He really doesn't have the slightest fucking clue how shit works in the real world...
It's almost unbelievable.
And to think he and AAAAANDY gargle each others nuts now .... -
If you want excited fans in the seats then focus all the energy on winning on every level of the program. The problem as I see it is having and promoting an enabling mindset. Fans vote with their pocketbooks and time. You want full stadiums and arenas then stop defending incompetence and mediocrity. I want to puke everytime I hear or read somebody saying that a program is getting better when the facts disagree. There seems to be no end to or creative means wasted when it came to defending 3DB. And right up until and including when he left. The same with Romar, is he or isn't his product superior?
I don't believe a fan site is a truly a fan site if the format and character is enabling of mediocrity. The site might provide information a fan wants which has a value in it's own, but once the site begins labeling the customers the fans as malcontents because they don't tow the mark and assume enabling behavior, it's not a fan site. I can remember being labeled a half brain because I was not towing the company line. At some sites you are not going to be allowed to express the truth or blow off steam. How does a program fill seats and gain a rabid fan base if it has fake fans sites and an administration that embraces lies and mediocrity? Sark needed to go after the losing streak in year three, by then it was clear that his potential was capped out. Romar's potential is capped out too. Anyway, I could go on about this but what's the sense, it is what it is. -
Wow Kim is really fucking stupid. Not even talking about the whole "give scholarships to kids so they can scream in the crowd" idea which is absurd. The only thing that drives excitement is a winning program. Cutting corners to gain attendance is something the Mariners do, maybe Kim should cover them (I would not be opposed).
I'm sure recruits would love to play for fake fans that some douche had to offer free shit to in order to feign cheers. -
There's so much wrong with this thread ...
All Little Napoleon cares about is buzz and sizzle ... he doesn't have the faintest clue what creates buzz and sizzle. -
Stop calling him Napoleon. At least Napoleon accomplished something. Kim is a failed real estate agent from south king county parading around as a journalist desperately seeking respect.Tequilla said:There's so much wrong with this thread ...

Have they thought of t shirt cannons? Those work pretty well in the NBA.

I'm all for a more appropriate slogan ...

Napoleon was also taller than commonly assumed. Average height for the time.HeretoBeatmyChest said:
