How self absorbed do you have to be to think football fans care to see you presented with an environmental sustainability award? It's incredible if you think about it.

Forgot the seizure-inducing video ribbon and the shitty hip hop instead of the band, but good list otherwise.whuggy said:
Here is what I remember from the
game experience besides the shitty
football. Sure I missed a few.
Car races on the Jumbotron to win
a gas card-Mariner ripoff
Throwing a football through holes
in a board to win money-Puyallup
fair stuff
Introduction of new UW President-
she looks like the type that hates football
Sustainability Award presentation-I really
didn't care
5000-10000 people in the Zone 8-9
minutes into the 3rd quarter-WTF?
EVERY 3rd down on defense some retard
feels the need to artificially inseminate
the crowd with his bellow of 3RD DOWN!
like he doesn't think we know it's an important
play-I wanted to throat punch the guy every time
Constant Jumbotron videos that have nothing to
do with football, I think Rocky and Star Wars shit-
maybe they put those up for Softy, I don't know
but I hate them.
GREAT new stadium. Haven't sat in a bad seat
yet. Everything else can be flushed along with
the people who came up with it.

It's times like this when I miss Damone's Jump Around poasts. RIP.

especially when half the fans are tossing their Husky Dog wrappers on the ground and leaving tailgate trash allover the place. Great "know your audience" as always. Fucking humblebrag leaders who just think any crowd is a great opportunity for them to get in front of it.DerekJohnson said:How self absorbed do you have to be to think football fans care to see you presented with an environmental sustainability award?

Went to this game, 1st one in awhile. I contacted the athletic Dept. after the reopening game and asked why they no longer show defensive stats @ games, which they could easily do on one of the new electronic boards. They said they'd fix it. They lied, still no defensive stats board @ Husky Stadium over two years later. The whole program is a joke and I no longer care. Husky Football is DEAD.

Apparently you didn't get the memo from Upper Campus that the only reason they HAVEN'T nuked the football program yet is because it will draw 50-70k people 6x annually for them to parade in front of with their awards that no one has ever heard of and that no one gives a flying fuck about.Meek said:

1. I don't know. We have run the hurry up no huddle offense a few times the last couple years. It is definitely there in our play book. For some reason we just didn't go to it last Saturday.HuskyInAZ said: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.
2. I haven't been to Husky stadium in a while but how about just selling booze directly from the normal concession stands? Some ppl say its forbidden by NCAA rules but then how do you explain the zone or the VIP ppl gettint it?
Also for half time show, even though idgaf about it, if you think it matters to keep people involved, just bring a group of slutty dancers or cheerleaders and people will be happy with it. It's not rocket science.
