I didn't read the article but I saw the poll at the bottom which said fans know more than the coaches about how to run the program. I went up and scanned the article and saw people were agreeing with the idea that there should be more fan engagement and bullshit instead of getting our QBs more reps because they all suck right now. I think the coaches know what they're doing. They also want fans to call plays during the spring game like Rich Rod. Fuck that. Sounds like they have too much Sark in them still.

Saw someone on twitter today saying that Petersen is boring and now the spring game is boring and that seems to be the theme of the Petersen Era.

I always hated Spring Games. It makes sense when you used to have like 80 guys available in the spring, but now most teams have around 60 available (although there is usually around 10 guys that are out from offseason injuries) to them and 10 of them at least are walk-ons and what not. There isn't much of a point to put on a game just for the fans and run the risk of injuries occuring (like Virta Vea getting hurt last Saturday during scrimmage portion of practice. Plus, you can learn just as much if not more from an open practice (which the spring game is now) if you know what to look for.

In short, spring games are stupid, so just have a regular practice and get better. Fuck the fans that want sizzle. Idiots.

And for the idiot author to just assume that UW will draw 65k for a spring game because they made it a game is about the dumbest thing I have ever heard. UW would be lucky to draw 20k after a Rose Bowl. Christ.

The coach is paid to win fucking football games, if he doesn't want to put on a bullshit scrimmage to entertain tweddle dee and tweedle duh in the stands that is GREAT. It's already going to be annoying enough that they will have to do some PAC12 network bullshit fun and games because the network requires it, maybe that will hold over the fans that are there for entertainment. Shit.

I hate people.

What does this have to do with eating hot dogs?

What time is the wiener dog race?

Agree. It's usually crap anyway, plus now that they are all televised they have become overly-scrutinized, which I'm sure teams with big QB competitions would like to avoid heading into summer and fall.

I've also heard recruits can't be on the sidelines for a game, but they can for a "practice". Just what I'm hearing...

Uhh...wasn't it Sark who nixed the spring game in favor of the wiener dog races and goal post competition?

UWDawgpound is essentially the disciples of grinolds.

Always about weiners?

I'm still too upset about the demise of the DoogPack to worry about the Spring game.

 

[Tequilla]

I'm actually quite happy with some of the changes that I've seen for Saturday ...

VIP parking (nice benefit to season ticket holders)
Tour of the tunnel (looking forward to the excitement on the faces of my "nephews" as they continue to be converted into UW fans for life)

You don't need more fan engagement. You don't need hotdog-eating contests. You don't need fans calling plays. More along.

I want to know if I click the link, will I have the urge to take a swan dive?

Dick Rod lets his 4 wildcat fans call plays because no one gives a fuck about them.

the biggest problem with a spring game is that nobody knows who'd even be playing since Woody got on the job... would it be the blacks jerseys v white helmets? about the only "fans" interested in watching that game would be edgy recruits from big cities in California who never sign with us anyway.

That's why Petersen had Junior Day behind closed-doors.

Petersen doesn't want his recruits to see our fans.

I can only imagine how many kids tLPT cost us over the years... imagine if recruits saw both them and all the doogs in our stands?

If they're your "nephews", are you "Uncle Jerry Sandusky"?

What time is the dance off?

Don't get me started. I watched about three minutes of it and Rodriguez let some 11 yr. old girl call a play. Everyone was laughing and whooping it up. The score was like 70-50. Thesefaggot marketing morons don't know when to stop.
