[QUOTE="PNWIllini, post: 1409232, member: 628092"] I grew up in CU and went to Illinois games from 1970 to 1992; since then I've lived in Seattle. Crowds out here commit to games, even for bad teams, to a degree very seldom seen in CU. It's unfortunate. I used to think I was the odd one expecting a crowd to be into a game to try to pump a team up. Turns out that's what they do out here regularly, even when the team's 0-12 like the Huskies were not too long ago, even when the Seahawks were 2-14. Crowds were still loud and committed. Fans expect to be part of the event here. To a degree I never saw in CU. No idea why, but it's not new. [/QUOTE]
