We’ll have to agree to disagree on that. Forgetting the post game party piece, having the 12:30 start time was nice for fans from other parts of the state to get home at a sane hour (this isn’t just the old folks, this is young families - I’m originally from eastern Washington and I’m willing to bet my two dads would’ve taken me to far fewer games growing up if there had been constant later kickoffs). Plus it would be nice if East Coast fans didn’t have to watch our games so late.backthepack said:
3:30 or like 4 pm kickoffs are the best. You can get fucking destroyed at the tailgate enough time to sober up a lil bit to party.Doog_de_Jour said:We had an intern at my company that is currently going to UW and I asked him what he thought about the gameday experience and what could be done to improve things and he said the AD tries too hard. College kids want the 12:30 kickoffs back (late enough to sleep in, yet the game is done early enough to go out and party on a Saturday), and really good internet access for their smartphones. That’s it. Not rocket science.
I say this because the AD, by chasing after the young ones with things they *think* they want but don’t, has needlessly antagonized the rest of the fan base. I don’t see any harm in trying the throwback night (I went to a Mariners game years ago and they did something similar ー it was a big success). -
This is a good idea, while I guess people could technically look up info on their phones, in this era of the RedZone channel, etc. people are more used to having real time updates.UWerentThereMan said:Show more replays from other games on the Jumbotron. We should be able to see the scores from other games at least four times per quarter.

They should have the bitch from KING 5 do scores at the start of the 3rd quarterDoog_de_Jour said:

Pipe in Lou Gellerman's voice welcoming us into Husky Stadium and on 3rd down.
I love to tailgate, but the people who show up to tailgates don't know how it works. I have a pretty epic tailgate set up in E1 (((humble brag))). If we don't have anyone staying back to watch over the stuff and watch the game on TV, we have to pack up. The casual fan shows up and wants to hang out while we are trying to get everything jammed back into everyone's vehicle. This holds us up getting into the stadium. it is kinda like people who go out on your boat. once docked, they leave. they don't pitch in for gas or clean up. those people suck ass
Open up the DawgSleds for all people. not just the infirm and fat. Too many times I have seen an empty DawgSled with a few people on it.
Let all people use the elevator who want to use it. That 7 minute hike up the north ramps sucks, but it burns off the beers I drank. But it may make me late into my seats. -

so go back to the 91 unis?Dennis_DeYoung said:
The evidence is literally the opposite. Teams with more modern uniforms recruit worse. Moreso after controlling for win percentages.TommySQC said:These are all things we gave up to keep pace with college football today.
I hate the banners but they pay the bills. I miss old shaking Husky Stadium but it was a dump. The old uniforms wouldn't sell to recruits today.
You guys sound old poor and white.
Washington is not Bama SC or even Penn St. Genie was out of the bottle years ago. -
1. Sell booze at concession stands. Everyone loses their buzz in the second quarter. And, for whatever reason, lots of people don't like/want to smuggle in booze.
You're competing with watching the game at home, which is a pretty good experience now. Don't make it harder by forcing people to struggle to get drunk & make noise. Don't allow it in the student section, fine. But treat the rest of us like fucking adults.
2. It's bigger than the AD, but not bigger than the conference. The number of TV commercials fucking sucks for the live crowd. Every couple minutes, the air/energy gets sucked out of the stadium for TV timeouts. It's horrendous, and I swear it's getting worse.
3. Fix the internet service. Part of being a fan nowadays is checking Twitter, texting your friends, checking the hardcore husky game thread. It's insane that you can't update Twitter during the game.
4. It has nothing to do with that band. -
Maybe the paid entry is Jen's diabolical way of getting rid of the atrocity known as the Zone.whuggy said:Thought the halftime band show was good last night.
Paying to get into the Zone is a farce. No one goes anymore. -
The cage is for fags. Moving the visiting Lockeroom was stupidMikeDamone said:
I know you’re being sarkastic but the team does “say who” in the tunnel but this visiting team locker room has been moved and they won’t be in the tunnel. Ever.Baseman said:Fuck all the gimmicky contests. The kids don’t give a shit. They LEAVE! Dump the piped in music too. Back in the day we had Rock and Roll. Real Rock and Roll. I didn’t want to hear at the game then. Don’t want to hear it now.
Expand the north side seating down five more rows. Put the band and the students back behind the team. Keep the premium seating but lower the prices in the west end zone and at the top of the third deck. Poor people can’t afford to go or take the kids. Poor people make noise. So do their kids. When kids scream, kids next to them scream.
College Football is about 1) Winning 2) Tailgating and 3) a student BAND
Bill Bissell and his band accented the action on the field. Sacks and TFL “NaNa Nah. NaNa Hah” popping drums, clanging symbols.
Lose the bars holding back the team in the tunnel. It’s fucking embarrassing. The players hate it. Shit can the purple smoke.
“Say who; say what.” Organic hype, both for the players and the fans outside the tunnel. Let our players fuck with the opponents in the tunnel. James let it happen. He encouraged it. There’s enough comportment in society these days.
Bring back the Husky VW and jack up the air raid siren volume. It’s tradition. Every Husky fan with a pulse knows the siren. It’s lost in all the manufactured bullshit.
Newsflash Jen. Back in the 80s fans tipped flasks. Everyone had one. It was no big deal. Fans got fucked up and mostly stayed in their seats or went to the parking lot to mix and down another bomber. Install kegs at ALL the concession stands. People will pay. Let them go back to their seats.
Simple. Simple. Simple.
Also, I, and most people around me have flasks -
Here's how stupid UW is with this shit. People in Seattle already go an extra mile to recycle. They don't need video of Steve Pool and his smoking hot daughters telling us to recycle. What we need is videos of Husky Legends telling the crowd to stand up and cheer like crazy. Talk about how back in 1990, Todd Marinovich only saw purple and couldn't hear shit on the field. That's the lesson to teach our? fans.CaptainPJ said:I think she should return the “highlights” of Steve Pool and his family responsibly recycling.
That tore the roof off the place!!
God Seattle sucks
We could use videos of Steve Pool's daughters having a pillow fight or something.
