    Yes, abundance is the easy answer, but still...pick one damn it.
    But it really is all of it. Night games, Crazy Larry, shit product for 15 years, Seachickens getting good, old logger Seattle > new hipster faggy Seattle, traffic, parking/tailgating challenges, the changing demographic of the student body (I swear only half the kids grew up in WA and even those are mostly the super smart nerds of their schools), and 70" HD TV's. Everything all culminated over the last 20 years to make much of this not worth fooling with.
    This is why I ended up at a women’s volleyball school.

    apropros of something...

    Del Conte and Martin have reconfigured the seating to give Texas students a contiguous bloc of seats with the Texas band blasting from the middle. They have made that student seating first-come, first-serve to get those students in the stadium and yelling. They have cut down on ads on the video boards and forbidden on-field, thanks-for-writing-that-big-check presentations if those presentations bring down the energy level in the stadium.

    I'm stumped. Have we been terminated as a program and we'll never be back? Memorial Stadium was built back when Cal was winning multiple natties and they could draw 70,000. Maybe some teams can't ever get that back.

    After watching part of the ASU game, I would say you have a lot of catching up to do. Modernize your shit already, you look like you're stuck back in the 70's or 80's with the boring uniforms and the dark, depressing field. Then there's that hideous droning siren every time you score. Update that shit and make it edgier. It sounds like a dog howling, I get it, but it needs to be updated.

    The real answer is big screen TV's and getting older. Nobody is too crazy about football outside SEC country.
