Bill Chaves had a good point as to why there wasn't a great turnout this last week... the 4 day weekend. Should be a lot more students out this week, plus it's Senior Day/Parents weekend and a conference game, I'd be willing to be we get 7500+
I gotta say it - ARE YOU HIGH? It's Senior Day and so all (or hopefully all) of the senior parents will be in attendance - but that isn't going to get us to 7500+. It's on SWX again and rain/snow are projected throughout the area from Wednesday through Friday and snow showers on Saturday. No how, no way we get that number. And while ISU is a conference game, if you look at it in writing (which is what most people will do) it APPEARS to be an easy win for us. That may NOT be the case - given the weather, given the pressure to win and what that means and surely there are other factors.
I will go one step further and say on December 4th we'll be fighting a losing battle to get folks in seats as well with the Apple Cup just down the road that day. The Cougs haven't filled Martin Stadium once this year, but this will be the game they do. And for those not going, not having tickets - they will watch IT on TV because everyone is going to want to know who is going to be the ultimate Washington losing Pac-10 team. It's lame, but it's fact.
I don't think any marketing scheme is going to help us until the 11th!
