Montlake Futures Interview - KJR/Softy

[digits]

I don’t even want to do the maff on how much our family spends on UW football as it is. The main cash cow is WoolleyDoog SR but WoolleyDoog and I contribute via parking, food and beverage etc. Not to mention one of my best friends that goes on our bus 2-3 times a year that buys 6 tickets. Also another business partner of senior’s that buys like 4 tickets. It’s just never enough. NEVER. ENOUGH.

Unless you're just hellbent on not buying anything in the stadium, you can't walk out of there without spending over a 100$.
Combine the fact that the U-District in general has become shit for pre-game places: Ram is gone, Bigtime is fucking impossible unless you get there 3 hours before kickoff, Same with Shultzy's, Dutchess/Ravenna brewing are super inconvenient. Other couple dive bars on the ave are way too packed with visiting fans, etc.
You're forced into the Zone paying 16$ per NIL beer. And that is by design.
If you go into the merch store which I do every time because I'm drunk, you're walking out with like 200$ spent on a few t-shirts and a hat.
In my experience UW is dead last of the 4 northwest schools when it comes to this.

In the United States, Mexico, Australia, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Pacific Island nations, and English-speaking Canada, the sign is written 
before the number
 ("$5"), even though the word is written or spoken after it ("five dollars", "cinco pesos").

Montlake Futures needs to replace UW Alumni Association for hosting the pregame road events. I remember Texas NIL took over Manning’s in New Orleans for the Sugar Bowl and made $$$.

If college football and the stupid fucking kids want to act like the NFL they can shove the collective stuff up their tail pipes. Make your money off of tv, tickets and concessions, and merch. The begging fans to donate money is pathetic.

Actively trying to find this segment on Softy's show and it's reminding me of when I surfed through a bunch of old Tom Leykis episodes trying to find when my friend was on it 20 years ago. I feel stupider for having listened to this and like I'm in a time warp back to 2004.

Hey, Leykis ruled!

Admittedly in my 40s, it's hard to get through more than 30 minutes of it. Some of the callers, or possibly 99%, are mouth breathers.

Just skimming through I was shocked by how actually offensive it was and this was a fucking national popular radio show just on the air. I listened to an episode that was like 30 minutes of just calling Kelly Clarkson a fat pig for no real reason. Blow me up, Tom!
This Softy shit is pretty bad. I turned it off when they were talking about the fucking prices of like a Kraken Ale or Kraken Dong Dog and shit and then joking "when comes the coronary? Whoops! Who farted? Splat! Is Geno the guy? I don't know I don't think he is. The Mariners aren't spending money!!!! It's buy one get four at the beer garden in the WinCo parking lot in Auburn. Come down and get a beer coozy. Is Geno the guy?

Originally Leykis was some kind of libertarian liberal, but that doesn't get ratings, so I think he gradually changed to shock jock/how to spend $40 on dates around the early 2000s.

I listened to Softy and Fain about two months ago and they were pandering towards housewives. Chuck used to okay, but now it's Ashley interrrupting him every 3 minutes and adding zilch. I think I've listened to it once since Xmas. Puckett is a jerk but he could run a semi decent show, and now it's Greg Bell and some unknown sidekick and it's unlistenable. Furness has some ditz sidekick. KJR is run by cucks now.

FWIW, I do donate to the school, but I direct my contributions to the endowment. Sorry, but not sorry.
At this point in life, I may go Tyee myself again. For a while there, while my kids were in sports and then two going to college far away, we were never available on Saturdays and NOBODY wanted a free ticket. Good seats, too. So I dumped them. If I go back, that will be my contribution. That, $16 beers, $285 sweat shirts, $75 hats and whatever else they can get out of me while I'm there.
I'm not joining this fucking fiasco for anybody.

From Caple interview it sounds like thats the direction it's going to go anyways.
Montlake Futures is probably just going to be for helping non revenue sports through the remaining half share years.

I was first and right in criticizing the Chun hire. I’m not convinced the dude actually works for UW

 

[Quietcowskee]

He’s a DEI hire. That’s why planes are crashing.
