    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?
    UW has plenty of bros. Not in short supply.

    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.

    A shitty AD, a large stretch of shitty football, late kick offs, etc. It has all contributed.
    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.

    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.

    Yup. The college fair thing was interesting. One guy almost hooked me into Gonzaga.
    Gonzaga in the 80’s was the fallback school when the fallback school of the fallback school of the fallback school didn’t work out.

    It was on par with a decent community college.

    SC has legions of followers(who never went to college) from the days that LA had no pro ball and the trooj was fighting for ships.

    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.

    It's definitely a Seattle culture problem.

    Getting out of that overtime Cal game last year and you're trying to find a fucking bar to go celebrate at. JFC.

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

    Seems to make sense to me.

    Did you make a deal with Union Oil to get your Kern field play out to the sea ? That’s where the real money is.
