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:

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.

Well, back when I living there it was 45,000. I think you guysm added a few.89ute said:

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:

Death by a thousand cuts. Very few big non conference games, P12 has been down, team has not been good or exciting since 2016, really late kickoffs, Covid season, plungered by Oregon repeatedly, the list goes on and on... To get the excitement back pretty much do as they have done this season, the blunder to UCLA and ASU is tiring, but you can't win them all, beat Oregon, have some playmakers.. Bring back earlier kickoffs so old folks aren't out past their bedtime and/or getting home at 1am with any type of drive, more band nerd tradition, play a 10min video segment of past highlights with emphasis on clips of kicking the shit out of whomever they are playing that day, the UFC does this and the place fucking erupts, I dunno, so many things.. By having a playoff bid for winner of conference will be nice, so there is no more TSIO after the first loss of year and people find other shit to do. Make games matter. I'm done rambling

The academis prowess part has little to do with it IMO. Kids at high level schools go to games and lose their shit everywhere. Michigan and Wisky have no problem filling their stadiums, with the former being a clearly harder admit than UW, and Wisky is probably at or above the same level for admissions and is usually ranked higher. Texas is another that comes to mind. Florida now outranks UW and is also harder to get into. Look at Yella's US News list. Georgia is very solid public and is not a walk-in admit either and they lose their shit at games. SC is significantly harder to get into and outranks UW now and they don't seem to be any different from a football support standpoint. And ND games are always full and that fan base is crazy.RoadDawg55 said:

I generally think the academis prowess argument, insofar as it really having a negative effect on how football is supported, is more a thing at universities whose entire identity and culture is based on academis prowess AND that hackneyed fake "we don't care about sports" is internalized. Cal is the prime example. Vanderbilt ... maybe Northwestern. Fuck even Duke and Stanford care about sports.
And, of course, everybody's football players are equally dumb, so we're all TBS the same human beings.
I think it's a Seattle problem. Tech guys other than @haie generally prefer scarves and screaming "Goooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!" because it goes with listening to Cold Play and being progressive.

The TUFF south central guys are the new TUFF loggers.
Was on a jobsite this week with a bunch of TUFF pipeliners talking SC ball. I'm the only one who has stepped foot on the academis campus.

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.
45,807 (2014–2020)
45,017 (2003–2013)
45,634 (1998–2002) -

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:
Seems like the SEC didn’t have a baby bust. Packed stands to start the game.YellowSnow said:
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:
I might add that it seems like a lotta of the type of bros that used to go to UW in the 80s and 90s are Kewgs material these days in terms of academics but I'll let @creepycoug weigh in.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.
Maybe UW will get easier in 18 years after the current baby bust.
Remember @SECDAWG ?
Seems to make sense to me. -

The academis prowess part has little to do with it IMO. Kids at high level schools go to games and lose their shit everywhere. Michigan and Wisky have no problem filling their stadiums, with the former being a clearly harder admit than UW, and Wisky is probably at or above the same level for admissions and is usually ranked higher. Texas is another that comes to mind. Florida now outranks UW and is also harder to get into. Look at Yella's US News list. Georgia is very solid public and is not a walk-in admit either and they lose their shit at games. SC is significantly harder to get into and outranks UW now and they don't seem to be any different from a football support standpoint. And ND games are always full and that fan base is crazy.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:

A shitty AD, a large stretch of shitty football, late kick offs, etc. It has all contributed.
I generally think the academis prowess argument, insofar as it really having a negative effect on how football is supported, is more a thing at universities whose entire identity and culture is based on academis prowess AND that hackneyed fake "we don't care about sports" is internalized. Cal is the prime example. Vanderbilt ... maybe Northwestern. Fuck even Duke and Stanford care about sports.
And, of course, everybody's football players are equally dumb, so we're all TBS the same human beings.
I think it's a Seattle problem. Tech guys other than @haie generally prefer scarves and screaming "Goooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!" because it goes with listening to Cold Play and being progressive.
The TUFF south central guys are the new TUFF loggers.
Was on a jobsite this week with a bunch of TUFF pipeliners talking SC ball. I'm the only one who has stepped foot on the academis campus.
