A dreadful performance against Oregon and the awful game day experience at Husky Stadium have Derek, Kyle and Mike a bit cranky on this show.

    Thank you Derek for addressing my questions.
    Guess the short summary is the Huskies have
    been Mariner-ized. The solution to shitty baseball
    and shitty football is distract the customer with
    ridiculous diversions to what is happening on the
    field.

    Great podcast. Couple of thoughts....

    1. Offensive Identity - I've thought for a while that this was overrated. But the podcast got me thinking about the impact of no identity and personnel groups. Offensively, we seem to consistently have large-scale substitutions throughout the game. I think this is partly due to the lack of an identity. And it fucking killed us on our last meaningful drive from a clock management perspective. And the slowness of getting plays signaled in is another byproduct. At the end of the day, Smith needs to go away.

    2. Game Day Experience - I have not been to a game at Husky Stadium in nearly 20 years. But in my time at UW (7 years), I went to every single home game, and not once was I not in my seat at least 30 minutes prior to kickoff. And I never left at halftime. To hear how much it's changed makes me shake and want to vomit. But when hipsters are dictating what happens on game day, it's not really surprising. WiFi is what's really important.

    The comment about the band emulating the Stanford band was spot on. WGAF if they get in trouble being a bit politically incorrect. It's entertaining as hell and maybe, just maybe, they can keep butts in seats through halftime.

    I'm old enough to remember the old days with Bill Bissell leading the band. They were often politically incorrect. We looked forward to them performing.

    Good podcast tonight.
