Why UW Marketing Sucks; Ryan Madayag Edition

If you want to see why the UW Marketing Department is a shit show, this article is a link inside the brain of the Director of Marketing and Game Day Experience.

This is the first person Jen Cohen should have fired. His ideas in this article scream incompetence, and he is, in fact, incompetent.

Here is a little clip from the article:

He said emphasis is also placed on entertaining halftime shows and talented national anthem performers.

“We wanted to book those that are associated with the community and to highlight some of the great artists that we have in town,” Madayag said. “Also, I was in charge of selecting some of the cheerleaders — you’ve got to have great dancers and great entertainment at the games, and those are really some of the things that attracted fans like my mom.”

    “Really, I wasn’t just marketing to the football fans or sports fans, I was marketing to people like my mom to make it a party, an event,” Madayag said.

    FUCK IT ALL.

    So, non sports fans are going to shell out $150/200 for a pair of tickets to watch *Fat, hairy, non-athletic cheerleaders and a national anthem singer?

    No fucking wonder the stadium isn't sold out.

    They won't be doing that sort of thing at Autzen that's for sure.

    BTW what time does the gang bang start anyway?

    I know you are being sarcastic but this sounds like a fun event for my 6 year old son and I.

    So piss off.

    He should look into how the Seahawks seem to sell out every home game.

    If this fuckstick thinks his target market is mommy, then that is exactly who it will be. Too bad he is missing the mark on actual football fans who want a winning team and care little for the extraneous bullshit. I don't give a flying FUCK what our game day experience is like. The only thing I care about is the score on that fucking scoreboard.

    Figure. It. Out.

    Or don't. Roll Tide I guess.

    I'll probably continue being numb to this program and eventually leave the state. You pussies can keep it.

    It says something about how much I care about UW football that I still voluntarily talk about it on the internet, but it says far more that I won't touch this program with a 10 foot pole.

    Did we even have a marketing department before 2003? Fuck sticks like this don't have jobs if the football team can just finish in the top 3 of the conference on a regular basis and make sure every class that comes through here wins a conference title and shit.
    They can market to mommy or men but the only people that are going to show up are the ones that would quit if they could but are too addicted because we are fucktards and the dumbshits that actually buy into the anthem and band at halftime.

    Tldr.
    We are fucktards. It must be the off season.

    I remember back in the 80s and 90s they didn't need much marketing.

    Also, I remember seeing a picture of the 2000 team gang tackling some Hurricanes on the side of a Metro bus. It was bad ass. Come to think of it, that was probably for KOMO (1000 Radio buttfuckers). These nancys and fat and fuglies never could have come up with something like that.

    I couldn't find many pics but Mike Lude had that Husky Fever campaign. A stroll down memory lane.
