Fuck the jumbotron and the Japanese vomit advertising

Also, tell Jen/athletic dept to give back to season-ticket holders. Give us an adidas promo for purchases, Alaska air promo for away games, and try and get an out of town highlights on Jumbotron. If I’m at home watching a Husky game, I’m flipping to another game (or grabbing another Rainier) during commercial break.

Nevermind season ticket holders this is basic marketing...which is something they should be doing...Beno4Life said:Also, tell Jen/athletic dept to give back to season-ticket holders.

At least improve the beer buying so I don't have to miss a huge chunk of the game to get one.
Throwbacks, throwbacks, throwbacks. I'd take fucking Gil Dobie throwbacks at this point.
Stop alienating the long time tailgate crowd and instead encourage it as part of the game day experience like Ole' Miss or most other normal football schools. -

The image above is weird. It seems to be entirely missing E1 and E18 to the north, which to my understanding, will not be touched.UW_Doog_Bot said:

But the folks that tailgate in E12 to the south are really pissed, and rightly so. Looks like half of that porking lot is slated to become a new building. Also, new buildings look to be going up at E8 and E9, which people also tailgate at, close to the stadium.

@TheDozer
Suggestions for Husky Fan Advisory Council:
1. Do not build any buildings where Husky fans currently tailgate. Buildings are slated to go up in E8, E9, and E12, which all hold tailgaters. Tailgating enhances the game day experience and is a UW tradition. Don't drive fans away from enjoying the gameday experience, however they choose to do it. Embrace tailgating.
2. Figure out the 'Goooooo... HUSKIES!!!' chant ASAP. Ever since the student section moved, the chant has been awful. I've emailed the UW Athletic Dept. at least once a season since the renovation, telling them they are saying the chant too fast. Slow it down! Especially the 'Go' part. It has way more effect when it's slowed down. But they have not tried to slow it down, for who knows why reason. If they can't figure it out, tell them to watch/listen to Husky games pre-renovation. It's not rocket science.
3. Throwback uniforms. Years that come to mind: 1960, 1984, 1991, and 2000.
4. Abolish, 'The Zone'; sell beer and wine in the stadium. It'll generate revenue to help pay for the renovation, and encourage fans to get to the game on time, and stay in the stadium the entire time. Fans have too many warranted excuses to not get to their seats by kickoff, and not staying the entire game. Give them some incentive to do so.
All I have for now, will let you know if I think of anything else. -

OK, so far the UW AD hasn’t responded to my application to join this secret organization (HURTFUL!) I’m going to leave some of my ideas here on the off chance someone in the department is wading through all the filth and reading what we have to say (they SHOULD BE ANYWAY! Modern marketing demands you monitor all social media...even this hive of scum and villainy).
**WARNING FOR THE BORED**
A lot of this shit doesn’t apply to most poasters here, but it matters to me, so I’m going to leave this gif to placate you...otherwise move along...
OK, Jen/Rachael Marie...I think that will distract these assholes for awhile. We don’t have much time, so I’ll be brief:
- The womens’ selection for UW clothing and accessories SUCKS. Go to Fanatics or some other site and you’ll see that on average, schools like Alabama and Oregon literally have *double* the number of offerings for their female fans than UW does. That’s bullshit. Pull whatever stops you have to with the licensing team and Adidas to fix that.
- UW is in rainy Seattle. Why is there so little in the way of decent UW branded rain gear? (And no, I’m not talking those cheap ass plastic ponchos). Instead of a sea of black North Face jackets in the stands on game day let’s have some nice PURPLE Gore Tex coats and boots for people to wear.
- There are lots of cute little old lady fans (and me) that love to craft (quilting, knitting, sewing, jewelry making), and if someone wanted to lovingly crochet a Washington Huskies themed beer cozy (hi Ruth!), they can’t find much in the way of supplies...I went into Joann Fabrics the other day and there was one sad bolt of UW fabric - and it had the FUCKING NIKE WEASEL LOGO! Again, get your licensing people to fix this. We should be flooding Etsy with our shit.
Thank you for your time. -
