“It’s tough on our fans. I don’t know what we’re going to do, but it will be addressed and talked about (before) the next television contract.

The current ESPN & FOX contract is 12 years, ending in 2023.

Am I reading this right? Does this mean he thinks he'll still be here to negotiate the next one?

    That was my complaint at game 1 ... That fucking digital band is hard on my eyes... And it wreaks of money whoredom ...

    ... Good to know he's all over the start times... When I'm in my 50's that will be a relief...

    Right after the Boise St. game, people went to Doogman to bitch (rightfully so) about what was fucked up and/or needing to be improved. The biggest complaint was the length of concession lines.

    Immediately, Phil Bleenor took like a white fucking knight to Castle Woodward and defended the dreckfest. He went on and on about how much he enjoyed his concessions in Club Husky. He must have named off a dozen fucking plates of food, snacks, and other goodies.

    Only one Doog in the whole lot called Bleenor on it. His retort was something like, "It was the first game. Did you really buy and eat all of that? It must have cost you close to $200."

    The post sat there for a good few hours with not one reply from Bleenor. But Bleenor had plenty of time to reply to other topics on the doogfest.

    Mysteriously, the post was deleted before Bleenor could respond to it.

    That's obvious. He HATED the Sark hire, threw a huge fucking fit. Then after Sark let him be buddies to the program he defends Sark.

    Race said it best, Fleens is crack to the Doogs. Biggest enabler of mediocrity there is.

    Something I noticed watching the Quooks play UCLA... they have ads in the endzones only, and their jumbotron seems to play a lot of game highlights and not so much smile cam. Also, other than "Shout" between 3Q and 4Q, no piped in music over the PA. You could actually hear the band on TV. And the crowd noise. Lots of crowd noise.

    Fuck.

    Butler Cabin is a mouthpiece ... plain and simple.

    He's got to be around the "big shots" and can't just sit back and just watch what is going on.

    Fuck.

    During the UW game coming back from break I never heard the band and heard them playing music over the PA. It's no longer a college game at all.

    Going to games due to the product and the Marinerization they have done to that stadium is why I won't be going to games for a long time.
