  • Lack of Social media/ excitement

    We all know this year is not going very well but still have time to turn it around. It is sad to see how bad this team is promoted on any type of Social media outlet that they can use. This has been like this since the first game. The women do a great job promoting their team and makes you get excited about their upcoming games and people know about it. There should be something posted everyday to promote the teams upcoming games especially when we have very few home games and need fan support to get them rolling in the right direction. I just don’t understand what is happening with the department. I have seen the new sports information guy talk at press conferences and sometimes he doesn’t even know who the team played the prior week he has to really think about it. Sure hope it improves but so far doesn’t look good. The team has some great teams coming in the next 2 weeks and nothing said about who we play and days and times. Sure if you watch the press conference you hear information about it but that is a small amount of people watching that. This team needs all the help they can get for support and whoever is responsible to get information sure needs to improve.

    I don't disagree with you at all, but I have to wonder as well at this point in the season if it really matters that much?

    The team is hot garbage right now. I'm not sure if an even halfway competent SID is really going to be able to polish this turd to the point where the fan base will start to come around until the results on the court change.

      So I guess give up. Some people still want the team to succeed. Let’s hope we have more of them then you.

        Our new SID hires have been nothing short of a disaster. I mean, 4A high schools in Iowa have better and more accurate information available.

        Not a single record has been updated in game notes and they're riddled with grammar and spelling errors and outdated information. If we can't do simple stuff, it's impossible to expect anything.

        Sure seems to have time to take family photos in Wazzu gear on our gamedays though, so at least priorities are in order.

          Announce you can take beer to your seat and $1 hotdogs for weekday games.

          Dont waste time putting lipstick on the pig. Give them a reason to come.

            I don’t always agree with you, but if there was ever the best time to do this, it’s now!

                OMG. Stop. Just. Stop.

                This has to be one of the dumber responses I've ever gotten. Do you honestly think I don't want the team to succeed based on a single post?

                  You need casual fan. Casual fan isn’t coming with the W/L record.

                  You need to toss some trinkets out there to pull them in.

                    This needs to be flown outside the Dome on a banner... It is truly appalling how poorly we manage our online presence. And I'm sick of excuses about this being hard. It's really like we don't care how crappy and second, heck third tier we make ourselves look.
                    If computers ruled college basketball the way they do football, we'd have skipped all this March Madness monotony and just waited a month for the Kansas-Kentucky title game. And watched Northern Iowa play Cornell in the Poulan Weedeater Bowl. ~ Dwight Perry The Seattle Times

                      You say it so well. Exactly. Recruits see this too. They want a school that believes in their brand.

                            It isn't always that simple.
