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.
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 mismanagement of the $50 million per year football program over the past 3 decades has yet to show all its warts.YellowSnow said:
UW needed to get down its knees for us, to make us love the Dawgs like we used to do.TheHB said:

Disagree about the stadium capacity, due to design. For one, the design amplifies noise. And secondly still looks fine on TV as the most empty sections (other than student section, another discussion altogether) is out of general camera view.YellowSnow said:We’d need to go back to 58,000 seats, have the Hawks leave, and be in the running for the CFP.
The stadium is far down, if not at bottom of the list of issues with Husky Football.
At some point -- probably when the new stadium opened or close to it -- UW's braintrust (I like to call an organization's leadership braintrust. I do that.) thought it needed to replicate the Seahawks experience. Coming off the heels of really shitty football, the thinking was that it was vital to provide canned enthusiasm to engage the crowd. I know the Zone started before that, but it only got worse and pretty soon, the actual game on the field became secondary to all the other shit. Moving the students to the end zone in a money grab was another bad move. It all just piled up to become the fuckall of a gameday experience we have today.
It lost that college feelin', now it's gone ... gone ... gone. Woah.
Instead, they got too fucking greedy.
Born in 87, I'm probably the cutoff for remaining Jack Doogs.
Even then, It's taken a real special blend of mental illness and retardation to keep me going this long. -
You have a super human level of Jack Doog, sports dork passion for the program. I don't see that coming down the pike from many Gen Z kids.Doogles said:

Virginia Tech has Enter Sandman
Wiscy has Jump
Oregon has Shout
Tennessee has Rocky Top
UW's sing along is Party in the USA by Miley Cyrus
The defense rests your honor

I was hoping for Macklemore but I’ll accept this as well. Maybe Jump Around or My Posse’s on Broadway or even Louie Louie.MikeDamone said:
How about playing “Shout” at the end of the 3rd.huskyhooligan said:I personally think its tim to move the students back to the sideline.

Damone didn’t hit a home run with this thread. He hit a grand slam.MikeDamone said:I knew the would be a good thread. But I didn't expect a 3 pager so soon.
Another DaMoan homerun. -
Actually every one of those is lame except Virginia Tech.godawgst said:Virginia Tech has Enter Sandman

They play Alice in Chains earlier in the games, I just go get a couple beers when they start the 4th quarter lame shit with cellphones. It's not a huge deal. -
In terms of engagement 4 of the 5 fan bases don't fine them lame.haie said:

Will say Captain Husky is cool though.
