Fuck you athletic dept!! Whomever let them blast this song in HS mid way through the 4th should be fired. It's a classic song and I love Prince but this is not what you play towards the end of a tight football game. Talk about killing the already lackluster crowd enthusism. Don't play that shit again unless you're up by 4 touchdowns.

Darling Nikki would have been a better choice from that album

2001400ex · September 2018

Agreed. But that wasn't as bad as the skit in the endzone. Da fuq was that?

Seriously. I told my two uncles that was some high school bullshit

Meek · September 2018

why don't they play Anquette's Janet Reno in the 4th Quarter?

THANK YOU! I was saying the exact same thing last night. Kill #PurpleReign with fire.

...though, I’d be OK with it at basketball games, but that’s only because of Charlie Murphy’s True Hollywood Stories.

Game, Blouses.

When this came on, my friend remarked that it's a song you play when the bar is closing and you want people to leave.

Certainly felt that way at the greatest setting.

Let's review things done by the AD last night:

1) March to Montlake … let's steal an idea from the Sounders and their "March to the Match" because college football and minor league soccer are comparable and on target for where the football program should be going

2) Purple Rain … nice idea but TERRIBLE execution … the biggest thing of course being that Prince's version of the song is that it's a slow ass song that has nothing to do with an upbeat energy of a football game. If you're going to put that out there you probably should do it early in the game and put a kiss camera tied to it.

3) Whatever the skit that Harry was trying to do in the end zone was not only stupid but obviously fucktardedly executed. It's like they decided let's go back to some silliness from the Bissell era and bring some stuff out.

4) The band waving towels … not sure what I really think about that … never mind, yes I do … give the towels to the student section and have like an entire endzone waving towels versus just a subsection of it.

5) Kudos that Chevron realized that their fucking stupid race thing sucked and that going away

6) The new tradition for Letterman whatever that they brought Jon Brockman in for is a nice idea EXCEPT again the execution really fucking sucked. One, they did nothing to set it up so you had people wondering what the hell was going on. Second, the song that you're having the band play and the Letterman coming in to help out with is usually reserved for AFTER UW SCORES … not to be played after the OPPONENT SCORES.

Agree. Do away with all the bullshit that's not related to football. And bring back the HuskyTron highlights.

Let's Go Crazy would have been better, if it had to be that album

Meek · September 2018

does the band have the sheet music for Shut The Program Down?

PurpleJ · September 2018

If we're gonna bash the Chevron car races, I'm OUT.

Also...WTF happened to the band?

Heard next week when it's tied and two minutes left in the 4th quarter they will play this:

Yes, the purple raton timing was absolutely absurd. The fans being lulled to sleep. It was so strange. Did they realize the situation of the game?

Love the song just not during a football game.

MikeDamone · September 2018

this is the way to go.

That fat fuck who seems like he’s always about to eat the mic...needs to go the way of the Chevron car race. Immediately.

Everybody knows Do You Really Want to Hurt Me is Culture Club’s pump up jam.

Howdy, Stranger!
