    All are factors, but the pussification has been ongoing for a while. I remember getting b.s. trophies as a kid in the 80s and early 90s (but my trophy for being first in the second grade paper drive was real damnit! :p).

    People were really shellshocked by 2004 and 2008. I don't think many saw the zero and one win seasons coming. I definitely went Doog in '09 when they won five. The difference was in 2010 I wasn't okay with starting three and six, and I wasn't okay with the defense giving up 40 points a game or whatever it was in 2011 (plus the fact we barely beat Eastern).

    Washington football sucks now because Washington football fans are willing to pay for this shit.

    Case closed.

    Harse, but true.

    If football revenue goes down and starts to threaten Title lX sports then you willsee a change to winning football.

    As long as football can pay the bills for everything else the AD and upper campus folks are happy.

    The love-hate relationship with athletics and academics at the UW continues.

    Why we can't have excellence in both is beyond me.

    The P12 network monies will encourage this behavior.

    This.

    Current TV money + suite revenue + large donors make individual season ticket sales irrelevant.

    You should ask yourself if doogs were born doogs or created. Guys like Kim....soft, whiny beta types that never played competitive football...were obviously born to doog. But I think some guys like Dick B. were turned into doogs by the current faggoty climate of the Seattle area.

    500,000 tickets sold @ $60 per ticket = $30 million per year.

    That ain't chump change.

    The problem is that they will sell at least 400,000 of those tickets no matter what because pussification.

    It has nothing to do with Seattle & Marinerization. Thats a common belief here but its wrong. If thats the case then how are the Seahawks the best team in the NFL now? Why have expectations for UW football changed from 1998 when Lambo was fired for 6-6 until today? Seattle isn't much different than it was then. Eugene is a pussified liberal city who had the #2 program nationally weeks ago.

    Mark Emmert's tenure (2004-2008) is what lowered expectations all around….from fans, media & UW.
