Attention Husky fans! Just wanted to pass along some great news to all of you direct from ESPN. The Dawg Pack will be featured in ESPN The Magazine’s upcoming fan issue as one of the best student sections in the nation!
The basis of the article is the Dawg Pack Dirt info sheet which has been a staple of Husky men’s basketball home games since 2004. The writers at ESPN were looking for unique and interesting fan rituals that have become traditions at sporting events. Somehow, they heard about the Dawg Pack and learned about the Dirt that I originally created five years ago.
This is a huge accomplishment for the university and for the Husky fan base as a whole. In 2003, when I was a freshman at UW, the student section at basketball games wasn’t nearly what it is today. In six years, the evolution to national recognition has been absolutely mind-boggling. There are thousands of you who have been a part of that change and you should all be proud.
As for the issue itself, I’m not exactly sure when it will hit newsstands, but as soon as I find out, I will let you all know. For now, Go Dawgs!
*Editor’s note: We apologize for failing to post the Dawg Pack Dirt for the Portland game on Saturday. An info sheet was compiled by our contributors for the game, but this editor was out of town and unable to post the Dirt online. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you. In other news, Dawg Pack Dirt will be featured in an ESPN The Magazine article for their upcoming fan issue, and the UW student section will simultaneously be recognized as one of the best in the nation. Go Dawgs!
Dawg Pack Dirt: Texas A&M
Volume 6, Issue 9, December 22, 2009
Special to Seattle Sportsnet
Great job against Portland, Dawg Pack! We weren’t too sure how many students would be in town to attend the game and although the Dawg Pack wasn’t full, it was still effective.
This next game against Texas A&M is our biggest game of the season yet, and we are going to have to do everything we can to make the Aggies never want to make a trip to Seattle again. Come prepared to lose your voice and to help the Dawgs take down a good non-conference opponent. If you can’t make it, make sure someone else gets your ticket and is willing to wear purple and be loud. With that, we hope you are all enjoying your break and enjoying the holidays. On with the dirt…
