Alaska Guy Spring Game

[Blackshirts BLVD]

Washington doesn't have a spring game.

Really? Never or just not this year?

I have NW winning the B1G West this season.

Can't wait to let you down here.

Yeah, the whole 'Spring preview' bullshit is hella gay. I'm sure all of 1 or 2 k will show up and half will be baked out and only there for the snack bar. I wouldn't waste time/money to go to that dumb shit. Went to many spring games back when those were a thing.

No actual game he means, it's one of those glorified practice sessions. So dumb. And theirs isn't until the 27th.

I'ts up to the coach and Petersen doesn't do spring games for whatever reason. Instead they run some drills and afterwards they do pics and autograph signing with the fans.

Projecting college football's Top 25 QBs of 2019

Has Washington even had their spring game yet?

It's the only game Nebraska fans can comfortably attend without the risk of embarrassment.

Projecting college football's Top 25 QBs of 2019

My biased opinion, Shea should rank a bit higher. He ranked in the top 25 in QB rating last season and with an improved offense (hopefully) I think Shea will crack the top 10.

Key UW Football Dates To Remember

2019 Fan Fest & Spring Preview

2019 Spring Preview

April 27, 2019 Washington Fan Fest and Spring Preview.

You can watch it on the PAC 12 network at 12 PM.

APRIL 27 - UW SPRING PREVIEW
Saturday, April 27 is going to be a jam-packed day for UW Football fans - so definitely put this one front and center on your calendar with red letters.

During the early afternoon at Husky Stadium, the current Huskies will be going through their final 2 hour-plus practice in front of friends, family and fans - thus ending spring football. It's not a game like it used to be, but there's enough scrimmage elements to it so fans get a great idea of who is excelling, who needs work and how things shape up for the team heading into their summer offseason regimen.

In 2018, about 1000 people were in the stands.

Between 1961 and 1976, the spring game found the Huskies taking on former Huskies. The idea of dozens of retired guys gathering for maybe one practice before taking the field against college athletes in their prime sounds crazy today — it was crazy then — but the “alumni game” was a staple of the April sports calendar in Seattle, drawing as many as 30,000 fans to Husky Stadium.


About 29,000 fewer fans were on hand Saturday for an event as low key as the head coach who designed it. Paranoid might be an overstated way of describing Chris Petersen’s fear of, well, just about anything related to the publicizing of his football team, but it’s in the discussion.

Washington lead the conference in attendance last season so there's always that.

Buckeyes has stadium construction. The only win Nebraska will bet over Ohio state for a long time.

Do you know how many teams would have sell outs dating back to 1962 if the stadium's capacity was only above 80,000 since 2006, and 50-70,000 in the years prior?

Hell, the last time we had an attendance fewer than 100,000 was in 1975 when it was 95,857, which was more than 20,000 more than Nebraska's capacity at the time.

Did you know that in the 1960s and 1970s, on Saturday at the Nebraska game, the stadium was the second largest city in Nebraska?

IN 1960 and 1970, Detroit by itself had more people than the State of Nebraska.

5% of the Nebraska population goes to the game on Saturday. Michigan has a population of 10,000,000, 5% of that is 500,000. The 5% has been a constant since 1962. Michigan does not get 5% of the population of Michigan to the game. I can't remember the last time Dominos and Coca Cola gave free tickets to a Nebraska game. Can you remember when DOminos and Coca Cola gave free tickets to the game?

Detroit to Ann Arbor is about the same drive as Omaha to Lincoln. But in the 1960s and 1970s Michigan was boom with auto manufacturing.

If Nebraska had the same population as Michigan, the stadium would be a lot bigger. Michigan has five times the population. Imagine Nebraska was 4,000,000 people, the stadium would be around Lowes Motor Speedway sized.

You know Detroit is not Ann Arbor right? And that the stadium in Ann Arbor often filled to a larger capacity than the city it resides in for most of its history? And today when it’s filled to the max it would rank as Michigan’s 5th most populated city?

No matter what it’s weird to brag about record sellouts of such a small stadium compared to even stadiums in Nebraska’s same conference.

Of?

[MAIZEandBLUE09]

I am not. I don’t think anyone is. I’d be embarrassed if Michigan stadium sold as few tickets as Nebraska has for the last century.

There was plenty of times where there was less than 100k under Hoke and Rodriguez but Michigan fudged the numbers. We all know this.
