Why do F3 and Griswold suck this guy off as if he's some kind of innovative genius? I was a freshman Romar's first year and I went to every game even when we lost to Montana fucking State and there were 20 people in the Dawg Pack. Romar had to go to Fijis and beg people to go to the games. They had to give out free catered dinner so students would show up. I was raised to be a big Husky hoops fan. Big fucking deal. Then they started winning and more people came. They've sucked recently and people have stopped coming. Pretty simple concept, actually.
I don't know who this Akita is but he sounds like a douche who takes himself way too seriously

Fuck Akita, it was the guys before him that started going to games before the team got better. Dug, your frosh season was when things started to take off. It was at the end of the season though. I remember the USC game, a local high school coach and I decided to go sit in the booster seats under the fucking basket. No one was sitting there! USC got out to like a 20-2 lead but UW came back and won. Place was fucking empty.
However, (and I just checked the old schedule) I vividly remember the Stanford game, Arizona game and Oregon game which were later in the season. The Stanford game the dawg pack was full and some fans were sitting like 5 rows behind Stanfords bench and just yelling and taunting Stanford's guys and they were getting flustered and had a really bad game. We almost upset Arizona later in the year (who was #2 at the time) and by that point it was pretty obvious that UW BBall was going to take off. From that point forward the student section was full every game. Granted, a year and two years later you had to get there really fucking early but the place was just as loud at the end of the 02-03 season then the following seasons.
This "it took a while to get going" is fucking bullshit. It happened suddenly and sometime in the middle of the 02-03 season. It was a young team with a bunch of local guys that showed flashes and was exciting to watch. That's why there was student interest before they went on that big winning streak a year later.
Akita is a younger, Asian version of Kim.
The motherfucker gets a little bit of FREE PUB! with his fucktarded website, gets invited on KJR a couple times and all of a sudden wants to be a part of the (as Kim would put it) "Who's Who" in the retarded Seattle sports media scene.
The worst thing about Akita is his awkward-as-fuck gay man crush on Ryan Divish. One only has to go to Akita's website or the Twatters and observe how creepy it is.
Divish seems to be kinda, sorta okay with it. Like a young man in college getting toothy blowjobs from a decent looking girl down the dorm hallway...Divish probably thinks, "Okay this is kinda painful but at least I'm getting consistent hummers."

This was tequila long article for " if the team is good the dawg pack shows up." The whole premise of this article is the return of the dawgpack as if gano or Akita somehow were the gasoline. Um, it's called winning and putting interesting players and gameplan to watch on the floor. Gano hasn't been able to rile up fans to attend this year till game 15??? Great poont
I gotta say, really enjoyed the part where Alex tosses in skipping class after the zona game and the very next section mentioning being responsible and going to class. Nice work gents.

I'm sure there is a round of back slapping over at dm for the admirable efforts of the dawgpack. By no means will anyone deny a full house can effect a game. But to act as if these two have anything to do with it is downright laughable. Gano probably also"hosts" recruits as well

What a novel idea ... offer free tickets and people show up.
If they want to know why people aren't showing up to UW hoops games, it's because the price of the tickets are way too high.
As for "hosting" recruits, well ...
And Akita is a fucking idiot ... he acts like he is a somebody when he really doesn't have a fucking clue.

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.
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.

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.
