Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
What kind of fan are you?

We? Criticize everything and everyone when it come to our Huskies(Dawgs, Doogs, and DWags, not apply) Coaches, game times, AD, broadcasters, moon phases, Sark, etc
So, what have you done to raise the tide? Bitch and moan or have you supported the team financially, attendance, or other? Just curious what kind of jackasses we’re dealing with here. I suspect most of you are hardcore with a smattering of FireMarshall Bills who won’t cross the proverbial rainbow sidewalk
I’m bored, so don’t hate

I’m a season ticket holder who also goes to some road games (Iowa, Indiana, & Penn State this year!) and certain postseason games. I’m also an open and forward Husky fan at work and wherever else life’s travels present. That’s it for donating, but I am always game to attend a cool NIL function.
Surly Horns (formerly Shaggy Bevo) raised a ton for NIL prior to the Sugar Bowl at the Manning’s bar. The day before was a Kenny Mayne Seahawks watching party at the same venue which could have easily been a UW NIL event.
I go to a game a year buy a little loot and pay stupid money to watch all the games on tv/streaming. I have also liked a bunch of croot tweets over the years which is a priceless service I'm sure.
I probably represent 85% of the total advertising for UW on Van Isle between golf starters, hockey change rooms and random friends and family interactions.
I dont have season tickets anymore, so im resigned to attending an occasional game and buying merch
Family has season tickets. Go to every home game barring something I have to do otherwise. I support the team by staying in the lunatic fringe despite the 1-11 Gilby season, 0-12, and endless mediocrity, and heartbreak. I've considered giving small NIL amounts of stuff but especially given how fickle everything with players is now I won't. I buy some gear but nothing special.
College football and the progrum a lot of times make it hard to justify remaining even this level of fan. I do kind of wish I was one of those fans who could go to games and watch them and be a dumb doog who only knows like 2-3 players and shit.
What?
The sport is broken. Don't shoot the messenger. There's a reason the Webber State game costs less than a large fruity drink at Starbucks.
and how do you know the cost of large fruity drinks at Starbucks?
Season tickets (next to Ballmer's crew). Cashed out NVDA stock and paid to bring Jonah Coleman over. Boat to the game from Alderbrook/Gates Compound.
Playgirl recently had an article on the topic
Had season tickets for many years but gave them up because I was getting old and cranky and hated all the late starts.
Go to one or two games a year when a buddy asks. Otherwise, I’m quite content to serve out my days watching from my mom’s basement on Peacock.
I still get very pissed off during games — even blowout wins — and my lovely bride of many decades says I have issues.
Duh.
I take the family to one game a year in September. Used to have season tickets several years back. Went to the Natty in Houston which I think counts as about 2 - 3 years of season tickets. I also buy too much UW shit.
I try to make it to any east coast games. Peach Bowl, Auburn game, Rutgers game, this year’s Penn State game (I’m not bothering with Rutgers this year) and the two playoff games in January.
Buy stuff and rep it in the sea of east coast /southeast ignorance about west coast football. Toss a couple of bucks to the athletic department occasionally.
does my wam membership to this shit hole count?
I'm a miserable fuck of a fan that went to all the games for 40 years until i left town twenty years ago… then booked Stubhub tix on the 50 for 1-2 games a year and saw the local road games in LA for a decade when i lived in Malibu [was always special watching us lose in LA] and then for a decade in the bay area for the CAL games [love the burgers + went to a couple of Stanford games, parked on the golf course / arboretum and hate the venue and the fans]. Now I'm down to maybe one a year and watching on large screen TV with my wife mixing the drinks that we are obviously going to require. I'm not an NIL guy so not on the radar.
the kind that wants his money back after that shitshow of a NC game last year.
at least you got to meet the ginger and I.
I’ve been going to games since I was six years old.
family had season tickets and Tyee. After dad passed away, we got rid of the Tyee but kept the tickets. Went to pretty much every home game during the dark ages….Finally, after the total screwjob of seat location at the last Rose Bowl we gave everything up.
Now go to a few home games….went to Vegas
I still like going to the games even if it is a complete sellout and we? are in the midwest Big-10…it really peaked around 2000 and went steadily downhill.
Dad went to UW. He started taking me to games in the 70s. Haven’t missed a home game since 81. Have 8 season n tickets currently and usually good for a road game or two.
I went to UW in the late 80s. Neither of my kids were smart enough to get into UW so now one of them works in alumni relations at bitchfork U.
Keep saying every year I’ll get rid of my tickets. Every year I say wait til next year and I’ll do it.
I’m stuck. Hate the way college football is going but have nothing better to do on a Saturday.
Season tix but in the cheap seats. Try to do a road game, and refinanced my double wide (tiny home) between Yelm and Rainier to make it to the Natty game last year.
