Someone in this thread gotta lotta @haie is his life.

Which dad?haie said:Yeah, we get it dude.
You renewed? Why? Jesus Christ. what actual point are you trying to make?
Just buying single game tickets actually forces them to not schedule schools I hate. Like Portland fucking State (fuck Sven's loser ass)
Your whole argument about 'everyone cared more in 2008' they didn't actually, but they showed up because we were playing Ohio State and LSU and Notre Dame in that era.
Then dumb fucks like my dad agreed with Don Jame's dumb fuck comments that we shouldn't do that to pad schedule.
Now We Beat Idaho.
Fuck off. -
2008 had the advantage of having more people alive like my grandparents who had season tickets forever and were going to keep them even if the program was cratering but a lot of those people have passed and more and more pass every year.haie said:
Yeah, we get it dude.godawgst said:Watching where UW appears to be going in the world of College Football is like seeing a slow moving on-coming train wreck miles away and there is nothing you can do about it but just watch. As either Derek, Woolley, or JoeE said, it feels like we are dying by a 1000 small papercuts, as we march on to the inevitable outcome.
One last thing in regards to season ticket sales. Two years ago our account manager said we had moved as far down and in towards the 50 yard line as possible without going up a level in donation and ticket costs.
When it came time for seat allocations last week, we were able to move 10 yards closer to the 50 and an additional 4 rows down at the same price.
I can just imagine what the Season Ticket Renewal Percentage must have been, and imo is the #1 issue facing the Program and AD. A overall fanbase that is apathetic about Husky Football, and do not nearly have enough new fans buying tickets and going to games as the old guard age out/other.

It's going to be hard as fuck to fill Husky Stadium and get people in for one off games moving forward. This is also becoming a problem even in the more passionate college football markets. College football is a weird ass beast in the middle of massive change.
I have no idea how to fix it for UW but I have zero faith that the people who are supposed to be are trying the right things to at least attempt to.

Did someone say beating Idaho is a recent phenomenon? We’ve been beating them since I first gave a shit about Husky football.
Now, Nevada and Montana on the other hand … -
You could have just said college football is changing, UW is fucked, and we don’t have the leadership that cares or knows what to do about it.WoolleyDoog said:

I've seen (HBO, don't remember) that even schools like Florida have this problem and because of the general change in student body. They've also gone through a few coaches now that haven't approached the Urban years.WoolleyDoog said:

The schools need to adapt. One way to do that is to schedule matchups people want to pay for.
Even for the pros Blazers fill it up for the Lakers and Warriors but not the hornets. It's not hard. -

I've long thought that going back to the pre-2010s way of scheduling 3 non-conference games that are entertaining would do a lot for college football. My only question is sustainability. In 2018, I feel like the team was banged up for like four weeks after the Auburn game and the same with Oregon the next year after playing Auburn.haie said:

I'm going off the top of my head here. But you could make a rule that September is for 3 non-conference games with a requisite BYE. Then October/November are for conference games. No more Alabama vs. Inglemoor High School the week before Thanksgiving.WoolleyDoog said:
