Pretty amazing we get Michigan 3 times including 2 at home when they have 2 protected games. A lot of those shitty midwest schools better get used to Michigan not coming to town very often.
LOL Iowa wanting to play all their shitty corn schools every year.
PSU going all in with their Unrivaled branding. Despite being in the conference now for 30 years no one they want to play annually.

With UW always starting classes so late, seems like a no-brainer to do something like:
2024
At Penn State Sat 9/14
At Iowa Friday 9/20
example since neither one has a non-con game on those weekends, but would make more sense to pair 2 of PSU/Rutgers/Indiana if non-con games could be moved around. Puts games in the Friday slot that is going to have to be filled.
I hadn't realized that we've played Cuog and Quook the same number of times (114 as of today). Quook will leave Cuog behind unless Cuog agrees to keep playing annually.
Dan Raley sez we hosted both LA schools in the same season in 1985 and 1990. I didn't audit that.
USC with the old school Trojan schedule
Time for fill in the blank AD to upgrade the UW non con schedule

A team will very likely lose 3 games and still get into the playoff. Going 10-2 will no longer feel like a disappointment.
The 150 year old tradition of chasing the undefeated season is over. It is for all intensive purposes, unnecessary.
There will be something missing for a while which was the pursuit of being flawless.
Look at what they’ve done to our boy.
Getting to the gayme was interesting from NYC, and not nearly as smooth as anticipated. Granted it was a Friday night on a holiday weekend (Penn Station was a zoo), but still. Getting back to where I was staying in Brooklyn took 2-3 hours, most of that waiting for the train / subway. The train ride isn't nearly as fast as you'd imagine.
Fill in the blank AD has a lot of fucking work to do.
'24, '25, two in '26, '27, and now that the rescheduled Michigan covid year Seattle visit becomes a conference gayme, two in '28.
