Kool Aid Bowl.....

....where 6-6 semi-losers go to drink their fill of FCS fantasies. What other kind of trophy or juice can the conquerors of Idaho State expect? This may be my shortest post ever as I'm running out of superlative negatives. I'm a proponent of challenging the steepest and most difficult hill available when climbing out of the abyss of defeat no matter what game you're playing at, and even though Sark's 2013 Huskies still have a slim chance of finishing this disappointing season at 9-4, the prospect of a fun trip for UW football playing athletes to another soap opera bowl game is again not a challenge of any acceptable magnitude. So what if Sark and staff get another (15) practices to squander?
I've seen where some doogs are already looking forward to 2014 with another ad nausea forecast for one of those fantasy (10)+ win break-out seasons. The Huskies could do it next year........ in flag football where toughness, strength, and control of the line-of-scrimmage is not a factor. Even though the OOC schedule in 2014 may be softer with the additional game @Hawaii, we cannot run away from the Pac-12 and the probable five in-conference games on the road which should include monsters Oregon, Arizona, and WSU, plus cupcakes Cal and CU. And getting (probably) Stanford, ASU, UCLA, and Oregon State at home in quieter, friendlier, more hospitable Husky Stadium will be a grinder, but what goes around comes around. The 2014 conference schedule will make earning the Kool Aid Bowl tougher, but doable providing Sark and staff can find more time for football in Hawaii than golf.
But what about the burrito bowl coming up on Saturday? After all those ancient past years of slobber-knocking the pumpkin heads in old rundown Parker Stadium with it's thread-bare astroturf and fire-damaged burned-out scoreboard, trips to Corvallis to play the Beavs these days are simply weird and I've stopped going. The 2013 Beavers have had a similar record so far as UW and are currently working on a three game losing streak (to Stanford, USC, and ASU). I expect that after what we did to them last year at the Clink, Mike Riley will have the Beavs ready and chomping on their flippers for revenge. Their QB-WR combo might set a new record for passing yardage against a Husky defense that only Lambright could appreciate. It's shockingly another night game and I hope OSU has a black-out for old-times sake
And what about the apple cup scheduled this year for a 12:30 pm kick-off on the day after Thanksgiving....... better known to shoppers as Black Friday. It will be the first ever trip for our sodbuster cousins to the new Husky Stadium...... that is if they can get past the first Wal-Mart they see. If anybody cares, the primary interest for us in watching this game will be to see if the Dawgs can surpass last year's all-time 18-point fourth quarter collapse....... that is they can get to the fourth quarter avoiding a total blowout by the Texas Tech Spread. If the cooglosers lose to Utah in Pullman on Saturday, they will be playing not just for the valueless apple cup, but also to get that sixth win they need to be eligible for their own Kool Aid Bowl. Such suspense is always special for AC week and let us pray the Utes lose, thus leveling the motivational table for the Dawgs going up against our worse fantasy.
Thank God..... just eleven more days and the 2013 regular season be over and suitable for flushing. then we can start bitching about the post season, recruiting, coaching change, etc.

It's only meaningless because UW wasn't invited. You know damn well if UW qualifies for the Kraft Fight Hunger bowl, these morons will be pimping it like Georgia pimps a Sugar Bowl.
But our money is already spent by the very same AD who ripped us off by hiring Sark in the first place and therefore , we (Tailgater and crew) must take out Husky Football one week at a time and frankly fuck the season. It's very frustrating, but in so many ways the same ol' bullshit.
