It sounds stupid, but emails actually do matter. ADs, even Presidents, are not as insulated as people think.
People also don't think Cauce is a football fan, which is wrong. She just - imo - doesn't know what to do. So it's important to reach her, as well as the AD, to balance out what she is hearing from Cohen ("we're fixing it. it's hard. we need more time"). Reach out far and wide.

100%. It can and will make a difference. I know it's easy to throw the white flag up and be cynical/do nothing, but everyone reading this thread (you too, lurkers) needs to be writing respectful-but-urgent emails to those aliases. Emphasize your love and enthusiasm for the program, and that it is because of this passion that you cannot in good conscience contribute monetarily to anything AD-related until Lake Jen is gone.
Cancel your season tickets and stop buying UW merchandise. I'd go as far as not watching games on TV either.
Money talks.
Short-term sacrifice for long-term gain.
I am not going to watch as long as JohnDon is OC. I made that decision yesterday after hearing some of the stupid quotes by Lake. It isn't fun watching this team. Losing is one thing, pure stupidity by the coaches is just something I can't stand. Why would anybody want to watch UCLA, Stanford, Oregon, and ASU curb stomp this team?
Empty stadium is easy to cover up and over look in THIS covid economy. Low revenue numbers can be handwaved away. UW doesn’t care if people quietly go away.
People showing up in paper bags, calling into radio shows or conferences, and generally making a scene about how much things suck get noticed and change things.
We all know Jimmy and Co are not the answer. I will not attend a game this season, didn't watch the OS loss. I don't want to completely walk away from my UW fandumb, been doing it since the late 80's. How can I/We effect change besides beating a dead horse via social media, etc...? Does anyone have an email address to the school prez? I feel like my bitching is starting to fall on deaf ears and I need a new audience, like every fuckin higher up in charge of decision making at UW.
There's a fascinating thread on this very topic in the Wigwam

There needs to be a huge emphasis on respectful because of what happened during the Willingham years and the football haters in the media. I can just see the Times doing an PDR and then publishing the emails that call Jen Cohen a dumbass only because she’s a woman. UW can then defend her and say look at all the mouth breathers out there

always kills me how much that dude looks like Sling Blade too
