Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

We’ll all adjust, but the Pac-12’s demise just feels wrong

    We have “decent” history with Michigan, Ohio State, Nebraska, Iowa and Minnesota, plus recent important games vs PSU. We can fight with Wisconsin over the real UW.

    How many of the Pac traditional rivalries had rea meaning to them? A couple, yes. But this is like Nebraska leaving the Big12. Yes the Oklahoma rivalry was left behind, but while Nebraska had played KSU KU Missouri and ISU like 100 times each, rarely did those games matter.

    People in Seattle will show up to watch UW play many more traditional B1G teams than Pac teams.

    The middle and lower end teams besides Cuog, they did not give a fuck about in the Pac 12 era.

    This was obviously factored into UW's decision/negotiation.
    Yup.

    No one gave a flying fuck about the Arizona Schools or Colorado.

    Cal and Utah - meh.

    Stanford when bad, meh.

    That's half the conference as meh at best

    Absolutely. I'm already contemplating jumping back on season tix. Been some time. At first, it was the kids activities on weekends. But when that wound up I still didn't think seasons. Now I think I will jump back in.

    I normally like the flexibility of doing single game tickets even though I end up just going to most of the games anyways.

    But with the fun I had last year I felt like I owed it to this staff to go get season tickets.
