Nobody gives a shit about the Huskies. I also find myself lacking enthusiasm to root for this team.
The action is in the Tug Tavern and Yella's Shoppe.

Our main board might need to go into hibernation until July

The thrill of seeing if Fisch can win enough to leave isn't what it used to be
Relegate it to the bottom of the forum links.
It's obvious that sports are down across the board even if more people have it on their TV's. Yesterday was night and day nothing like 2013 and 14. In 2013 this area was desperate to get their own fucking parade with the trophy. Then yesterday going around you see a few chudtard mid 20's Pats fans attaching to the success and a few corny families with the terrible faded navy blue and toxic waste green shit on.
Pro/college sports have tapped people out and most people are tired of getting ripped off with *everything*, whether they have the money or not, so obviously overpriced entertainment is going to be affected.

The offseasons have been pretty quiet for a while with February being the low point. Even going into 2023 when excitement was at its peak things were pretty slow in the offseason. I don't know what it is. It could be we get massive information dumps at time so people shoot wads and then rest up outside of those times.
I think there is something with sports and culture overall too.

Okay but if I compare every Feb we've had here in 14 years, this is the driest I have ever seen the board. As @YellowSnow would say, "and it's not even close."
We’ve all gone over everything that needs going over many times. I’m’ one of the guys that thinks the roster is pretty darn good. Others think there are still too many holes. It all boils down to if Demond Williams takes a step and stops shitting his pants in big games or if he stagnates or shuts it down to preserve a redshirt year. In one scenario UW is competing for the playoffs, in the other they’re getting the equivalent of Bucked up again or eating fried Oreos. Pretty simple really.
Thanks Taft!
Nuff said on that.

Are you still bullish on 10 wins?

Winning in college football is correlated to how many billionaires you currently have donating to your football team now.
The more money that gets involved, the more private equity middle-men that get parasited in, the higher ticket prices go and the more expensive it will become to buy your team's fan clothes or stream the 15-20 channels you will inevitably need to watch that football. In another 5-10 years it will cost $100/month just for ESPN + maybe $200 for the other additional channels you'll need.
Young people aren't going to pay for this. When the costs get too high, they'll stop watching and the college football fan-bases will start withering away. When boxing moved to pay-per-view, HBO and Showtime, boxing was at its peak and then began its decline. The Yankees out-spending everybody every year, killed baseball. The same thing will likely now happen to college football. I don't want to spend $1500/year to watch college football on TV for 5 months, especially when UW is having a bad season.
I think UW is stuck at 8-9 wins a year until they get their full share from the B1G. A lot of you guys say this extra $30-40 million doesn't matter, but obviously adding $40 million to the athletic department's budget, will help improve the win count.
College football teams are going to need a spending cap. 40-50 teams will move onto the new super conference with a needed spending cap for those teams.

Too much talent drain over the years + shitty college football product.
Hardcore Husky was meant to thrive in 2016. 2026 has too many headwinds.
Let's be honest here and admit that there wasnt the politics and culture war going on in 2016. The fans that live on X/Caple etc all left because they're softshell, but they are still talking about UW football right now and that is noticeable here and not just the main board.
