The amount of self congratulation that UW administerso do during timeouts at football games is nauseating. I've never seen anything like it anywhere else.MrsPetersen said:
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:

Boo that shit. Nobody wants to watch them jerk off. My environment? My immediate surroundings happen to be vomit covered bleachers (urinals with ducks) filled with fanatics that paid a good price to support a Football program. Sustain that program before you create a new program that you give up on (forget about) because "squirrel".
Let the band loose! You want to keep people engaged, keep the spectators guessing on when the next goat sacrifice #tequila might be.
And tits.
Why did they move the students?

How more rich, white, and liberal can they be? -
You should go to more road games ... happens on just about every campus in the nation.DerekJohnson said:

Regarding WiFi at the stadium ...
I actually tried to connect to the wireless at the stadium as I've recently been to places around the country where you could actually do that without being a major donor (Texas A&M that was one of their priorities during their renovation) ... upon finding the WiFi hotspot and trying to connect during the game, it then asked me for a password making me realize that the only people that could connect during the game were the Butler Cabin establishment.
So, for an Athletic Department that has sent out a survey to me in the last month trumpeting how great their GameDay experience is and trying to get me excited about the food, wireless, etc. in the stadium ... your wireless is shit. Not only does my phone not pick it up when on 4G, but you don't have a free public WiFi hotspot set up for ALL fans during the game but only for those that drop the most money.
But then again, how is the Athletic Department more out of touch with the GameDay experience than they already are. -
Kyle made some great points during the pod about highlight packages, etc. that used to be played during timeouts.
One thing that would be way more interesting during the game than some of the BS attributes that they do is to actually recognize the people that are at the games. Given that you had guys like ASJ, Kikaha, and Shaq on the sidelines for this game, putting a small highlight package together for them and putting a camera on them during the game is a no brainer.
Also a no brainer is raising up the board so that those that are sitting in the lower bowl can actually see it. -
@MikeMonan : Hilarious. 100% agree about the "new" Husky Stadium, couldn't have said it better. I've been bitching about the current pathetic GO HUSKIES! chant since they moved the student section; they cannot figure out how to do the chant anymore, and I'm afraid it will eventually go the way of the dodo bird, just like everything else Husky Football. Moving the student section was the single worst thing that came out of getting the stadium renovated. That move completely changed the dynamic of Husky Stadium.

In recent years I haven't gone to many road games. But I've been to virtually every stadium in the conference and nobody does it as frequently as UW does.Tequilla said:

Good work gentlemen. Hit the nail on the head about the gameday experience. It's sad.

The PAC as a whole is full of a wine and cheese crowd. If you want to get engagement, the AD needs to branch out and start thinking about what stadiums in other places of the country do.DerekJohnson said:

Of course, winning goes a long way. But often, it's more than that. Figure out what people want and cater to them. At a football game, I guarantee nobody gives a shit about an environmental award.
