    Way too much fluff, but rallying the old dawgpack guard is awesome and deserves praise. Nice work Alex and everyone else.

    Why do F3 and Griswold suck this guy off as if he's some kind of innovative genius? I was a freshman Romar's first year and I went to every game even when we lost to Montana fucking State and there were 20 people in the Dawg Pack. Romar had to go to Fijis and beg people to go to the games. They had to give out free catered dinner so students would show up. I was raised to be a big Husky hoops fan. Big fucking deal. Then they started winning and more people came. They've sucked recently and people have stopped coming. Pretty simple concept, actually.

    I don't know who this Akita is but he sounds like a douche who takes himself way too seriously

    I saw that article as well ... two of KJV and the LPT's favorite topics:

    1) the importance of the Dawg Pack

    2) sucking off Alex Akita

    Fuck Akita, it was the guys before him that started going to games before the team got better. Dug, your frosh season was when things started to take off. It was at the end of the season though. I remember the USC game, a local high school coach and I decided to go sit in the booster seats under the fucking basket. No one was sitting there! USC got out to like a 20-2 lead but UW came back and won. Place was fucking empty.

    However, (and I just checked the old schedule) I vividly remember the Stanford game, Arizona game and Oregon game which were later in the season. The Stanford game the dawg pack was full and some fans were sitting like 5 rows behind Stanfords bench and just yelling and taunting Stanford's guys and they were getting flustered and had a really bad game. We almost upset Arizona later in the year (who was #2 at the time) and by that point it was pretty obvious that UW BBall was going to take off. From that point forward the student section was full every game. Granted, a year and two years later you had to get there really fucking early but the place was just as loud at the end of the 02-03 season then the following seasons.

    This "it took a while to get going" is fucking bullshit. It happened suddenly and sometime in the middle of the 02-03 season. It was a young team with a bunch of local guys that showed flashes and was exciting to watch. That's why there was student interest before they went on that big winning streak a year later.

    Akita is the worst, that is all.

    If I was content to not make much money, I could put together a Seattle sports blog that would blow Akita out of the fucking water.

    Problem is that I'd be taking a massive pay cut to do that.
