Thoughts from a Husky fan
Comments

We? are a big-time program? In whose eyes?
-
Hasn't even Bamer had problems getting people to stick around for full games? Is like 40 degrees ideal weather? What guy spells Terry "Teri?"
-
This summer got a flight with my Alaska miles and was gonna fly in for the game
this team is not fun to watch. Even with a free flight, I took back by miles and stayed home.
-
It's probably a college football problem as much as a Husky problem.
-
For a 6pm kick on a Friday, to watch a 5-5 team that is as exciting as watching paint dry, it was a great turnout. It was also cold as shit.
Fuck off with this. I think this year has had one of the highest attendance totals in history. The fans have exceeded expectations after the complete shit show that was the off-season.
-
Next year will be the attendance dip based on this season
-
Agreed and Demond Williams is the new exciting player to watch. Whether Coleman comes back or not, I'll happily renew my Tyee tickets to watch D-Dub (ILTCHT) as the starting QB next season. Dude is electric and literally has sprinter's speed and acceleration:
-
Tyson fight was on. You want asses in seats then don’t have the season end in October.
-
The shots of the endzone throughout the game looked like WSU against Portland state
-
These crowd shots ten minutes before games start and after the final whistle blows are gay as fuck. It’s disingenuous. I was there, the crowd was fine. It was loud enough to cause some false starts. How long are people supposed to stay in their seats after the game is over? Nobody left at halftime, nobody left after the third quarter, people left when it was 31-13 and UCLA was slowly driving for a meaningless TD.
-
Using a picture taken 28 minutes before kickoff as evidence for poor attendance is something.
-
especially for a friday night game in a major metro area with traffic problems
-
Teri’s an idiot.
-
I think the point being made had more to do with the timing of the senior night being 30 minutes before kickoff. I read somewhere that this was a change from previous years. That’s the part that UW fucked up.
-
that’s your take away from Teri’s dribble?
-
Is Hamilton still in town?
-
the lameness of the excuses knows no bounds
-
-
Crowd was good, hundreds of students were waiting in line after kickoff because the student section was completely full
-
I was looking at some videos and it looked pretty full
-
The student section has been fantastic this year.
-
If you're drawing 60k on a Friday night, 6 o'clock kickoff, against a 4-5? team (not going to bother looking it up) after a lackluster, disappointing season, in a new conference you don't belong in with roster turnover….that's not bad. I didn't even go into how stupid CFB is at this point.
-
Penn State white out against same .500 team not to mention another 15 schools in midwest/south say hi.
Softy tweeted same shot right before senior night started. He was at Happy Valley a week ago where 90,000 people were in the seats 30 minutes b4 kick. He didn't say anything as it told all the words needed.
I was there last night when the Seniors ran out. There wasn't close to 9000 people in the stands.
It was abysmal, embarrassing and sad, and you look like horses ass everytime you trot out greatest setting tagline
-
No Hamilton, but when you have a 45 degree and completely dry weather event, coupled with just 9 months to plan for a 6pm Friday Night kick, along with tickets costing slightly more than a large Starbuck's latte expecting anything less than 10,000 empty seats is not being reasonable.
-
Good thing 75% of those attending either couldn't walk over from campus as students or find a light rail that runs every 3-5 minutes and drop them off right in front of stadium.
-
They changed the format of senior day. Got to seats about same time as in the past and was surprised the team ran out with no senior recognition. There was probably an email I ignored. Crowd leaving early when out of reach and cold, say it ain't so.
-
Student section was impressive.Do they legit pay extras to show up? Who has the grades and supports Hamas enough to get into UW and wants to watch 5-5 UW take on 4-5 UCLA when it's 40 degrees on a Friday?
Agreed too UCLA had a shit ton of false starts. As did USC. Maybe we should have pumped in noise like UCLA in 2022.
-
The crowd in general was fine given a Friday game, .500 caliber football, and from what I heard was horrific traffic.
As was mentioned elsewhere, the Seniors were introduced at the end of warmups and not prior to taking the field … which at least has historically been the tradition (I'm not sure if it changed post COVID as I wasn't at those games for family reasons). The change wasn't well communicated to start with. Making that change with senior recognition being tied to a weeknight game with what was surely going to be a late arriving crowd was an unforced error and not allowing for the proper recognition of some very notable players.
Hopefully the program will take note of the feedback and switch it back.
