Alex Akita is a UW Bball authority

Also, he's right about the type of students at UW now compared to just 10 years ago when we were there. The fobby international kids don't give two shits about basketball. Local h.s. kids who plaed or were into sports and had GPAs in the 3.6-3.8 range don't get into UW anymore.

This part is 100% true ...

The only part of the story that rang true to me at all was about how getting a game at the IMA (particularly on a Friday) in the past was a 45+ minute wait and the quality of play was strong. Today, there's hardly ever a wait the 1-2x per year that I show up to play and it's hardly worth the time or money to go down there.

IMO, the UW needs to get back to making sure that they are bringing in the best/brightest of the local students into the UW. As the Seattle market continues to grow going forward, part of the buy-in from the local companies will also be tied into how their kids are able to get into the UW.
 
The difference in the dawgpack last game was staggering. From 12 people to full capacity. That's impressive and we'll need showings like that in conference. I knew Akita at UW and he wasn't always a weird Kim-esque sycophant. His blog is dumb and his pro-Sarkisian comments the last two years forever damned him.

I'm just happy the pack is showing up. And I don't just think it's winning that turned it around so fast. I was contacted several times on FB and LinkedIn by old pack members telling me that admission would be free for old members.

The geeks and Asians at UW don't give a shit about sports. Or getting drunk. The student section looks like the revenge of the nerds.

I am hearing the Asian girls love to fuck tho.

Just what I am hearing.

Don't be a twister.
 
Akita's blog isn't horrible, but his Divish relationship is ridiculous and he's kind of an arrogant shithead. I'll admit, 4-6 years ago i sort of enjoyed some his antics, but his Sark defense in 2013 was inexcusable. He seems like the Asian guy going out of his way to prove he's cool and not an engineer wearing glasses who plays video games as a major hobby.

I really don't care that much about the Dawgpack. It's good if the students make noise, and they will if the team is good. They haven't figured out what Romar is yet though.

The problem is the Dawgpack still isn't showing up. The only reason it was full last game is because the tickets were free to old members of the Dawgpack. After tonight's game they won't be doing the free admission anymore, so expect a worse Dawgpack for conference play.... UNLESS (And this is a crazy idea) the team keeps winning, then you will see more and more people coming. I know, that is hard to believe!
 
I love how the article called his shitty website "arguably the most successful northwest sports blog". Of course it's arguable. No one is saying that except Fetters. Apparently no one has heard of fieldgulls or lookout landing. Akita's blog got a little notice like 8 years ago when he had nostalgic click-bait shit like "the top 10 Jay Buhner moments". After that it was mostly just narcissistic stuff about himself and when he played baseball in middle school. It's absolute shit and him trying to get popularity by linking himself to Ryan Divish is fucking pathetic
 
Seriously, FieldGulls and LookoutLanding (Especially when it was run by Jeff Sullivan) are/were MILES ahead of Akita's blog. I haven't read his shit in 3 years (except for the time he stated his support for Sark and called people idiots if they wanted Sark fired 3 weeks before he left).
