Autzen looks good on the TV because it's 54,000. Same thing with the @89ute and the MUSS at like 45,000.
Point still valid. -
So on the “Hamilton to 520 traffic scale” of reasons why UW fans can’t be in their seats at kick off, where does lack of bros due UW being to hard to get into rank?RoadDawg55 said:
That and UW being so hard to get into nowadays. The instate bro types can’t get in. The sons of those loggers aren’t getting in. there are an outlier or two, but academis and big time football don’t seem to go together.UW_Doog_Bot said:
Seattle in general seems to have a bit of an identity(or lack of identity) crisis from the last two decades of change.MikeDamone said:
Not slamming the ducks. They have their gay thing. Point is we have nothing. Gay or otherwise. What we have is people driving boats and fancy coffee culture not showing up until late in the 1st quarter and a 61% empty stadium at kick off.Canadawg said:You don't need to be a musical connoisseur like @YellowSnow to get the crowd having fun and engaged with the culture. I'm sure the AD can find some fun local music to play that gets the crowd into it. I don't really get slamming the Ducks doing it because people are constantly complaining that husky stadium doesn't have that engagement
Without getting too tuggy the days of the TUFF logging camp are long gone, even the grunge days are way past. Seattle is now a couple of shallow stereotypes about throwing fish and coffee shops populated by a lot of transplants. Reminds me kind of San Diego in its lack of authentic character bc of the influx of out of towners.
A shitty AD, a large stretch of shitty football, late kick offs, etc. It has all contributed.

What’s wrong with the list? The Huskies are playing in Boulder this weekend.

That's a good poont. During the baby bust of the early 70's through the early 80s we were well below replacement (i.e., 2.1 kids per female). My dad and mom did their part to keep the country going though and had 3 kids.PurpleThrobber said:
People forget the bros of the 80's and 90's are from the Baby Buster generation. Pretty much if you could breathe, you were getting into whatever school you wanted. It was a supply/demand thing. Schools needed to keep enrollment up to pay the bills. Also about the time colleges started venturing out to high schools and setting up tables in the front hall promoting their school.YellowSnow said:

Maybe UW will get easier in 18 years after the current baby bust. -

Post baby bust and return to higher fertility rates, the SEC school were still easy for cousin fucker, frat boys to get into.MikeDamone said:

I’m going to need a citation on that as the cause of empty UW seats at kickoff.YellowSnow said:

It's a hypothesis that many have put forward here. I don't know if it's provable or not.MikeDamone said:

Seems to make sense to me.
