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.

The stadium is far down, if not at bottom of the list of issues with Husky Football.

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
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.
Seattle in general seems to have a bit of an identity(or lack of identity) crisis from the last two decades of change.

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.
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.

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.

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.
Doing work on an old standard oil line from Huntington Beach to the refineries from back when HB was oilers TUFF.

This.

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.

The mismanagement of the $50 million per year football program over the past 3 decades has yet to show all its warts.

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.

UW needed to get down its knees for us, to make us love the Dawgs like we used to do.

Instead, they got too fucking greedy.
The mismanagement of the $50 million per year football program over the past 3 decades has yet to show all its warts.

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.

We didn't win a national title in their life times.

We’d need to go back to 58,000 seats, have the Hawks leave, and be in the running for the CFP.

You fat finger the 5 and meant 4 ?

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 personally think its tim to move the students back to the sideline.
How about playing “Shout” at the end of the 3rd.

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.

I knew the would be a good thread. But I didn't expect a 3 pager so soon.

Another DaMoan homerun.

Damone didn’t hit a home run with this thread. He hit a grand slam.

Actually every one of those is lame except Virginia Tech.

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.

Will say Captain Husky is cool though.

Turning on your cellphone light and singing a song along with the crowd is fucking stupid.

After the 3rd quarter of the Oregon State game, down a touchdown, yeah let's go hold up our cellphones and sing along to some fucking song.

Husky Football was better in the pre cell phone era.

You shut your dirty whore mouf.

Rocky Top is fucking awesome. So is Country Roads in West Virginia. Same with The Eyes of Texas.

Those are timeless.

I think at the end of the 3rd they should play “Roll on Columbia” by Woody Guthrie and show a lot of scenes from around the state on the HuskyTron.

Whenever I see videos of other team's stadiums and fans
