    Sven, you of all people know that TV determines game times.

    Absolutely. UW cares about TV revenue and ticket sales (in that order).

    Nothing else matters.
    As does every other college program. So I don't see where you are going with on that. Without TV revenue and ticket sales, you have no program.
    What part of "nothing else matters" did you not understand?

    Programs like Oregon and Stanford actually care about winning too. Washington doesn't.
    The difference is if Oregon and especially Stanford doesn't win, their fans stop going to games. At UW the fans go regardless. So if you know you will sell out, even without a top program, what incentive is there? Look at the Mariners. How that team isn't 30th in attendance is beyond me.
    We've been calling the decline of this program Marinerization for over a decade. UW cares about its fans as much as the Mariners do.
    I hate to say just don't show up and the problem is solved. By having a max exodus you basically call on the killing of the program. However, if there was just a 20-25% drop in attendance that would be enough to spark some movement without killing the program entirely.
    The regulars on this message bored who also attend the games are the worst Huskie fans I know.
    Say it to my FACE!!!1!!!!

    Disagree. Have you ever taken an Econ class? Doesn't seem like it.

    11 PM Eastern, this is a shit time-slot. What is the Pac-12, 3 PM game that day?

    Our AD has no idea how difficult it is for us special needs folks to get into the stadium and get situated at that time of night. I can barely find my van in the dark and return home.

    That's funny, especially since you jumped in to defend Boob. There must be some deep emotional connection between you two.

    If you were paying attention, you would know his original comment was directed at me, and not in a good way. But you clearly have no fucking clue about several things here.
