Wood. Skinny and breakable... neither of which I’ll ever have again. FMLGrundleStiltzkin said:1to392831weretaken said:
I don't know why the LSU game being an away game mattered enough to mention but UW's game being away at Cal didn't, but that's not important. What IS important is you seem to have your wires crossed. No shit UW loses more by not playing 50% of its games against teams with a pulse, but what's that got to do with anything? Neither UW or the PAC-12 could have done anything about that. That was Berkeley making that call and UW having to take it in the shorts. The anger here seemed to stem from UW and Arizona failing to play.dnc said:

Pretty sweet that we only need to wait four days to see! LSU backed out of the Bama game (with no reschedule possible) and Auburn is free this weekend after their opponent postponed on them.AtomicDawg said:Even though it en route to Slc. Just solve the freaking problem.
Move the game to Sunday.
Get another freight company to help and do a relay. I doNt know but it sounds solvable. I doubt bama or Ohio state takes no for an answer in that scenario.
That's 130 miles as the crow flies. Squaa in truck range. What a bunch of pussies the SEC/Alabama football/people in the southeast are if they can't make that happen! Would be chincompetence of the highest order! SEC! SEC! SEC!
It's not the same scenario. Not even close.
Alabama doesn't need every game possible to hope to maybe get a look from the playoff committee. They have a 10 (now 9) game schedule in a respected conference that guarantees they are in as long as they don't take an L (and maybe not even then). Bama will gladly take a bye and a slight increase in their chances of going undefeated and move forward.
Bama loses literally nothing by losing an away LSU game.
UW loses plenty by losing the Cal game.

And the playoff committee!? PLAYOFFS!?
Jesus TF Christ, UW never had a path to the playoffs in a six game season, and playing south division doormat Arizona twice wouldn't have helped even if they did. Besides, the comparison wasn't about losing the Cal game--UW had zero control over that. The issue was toddler fits over Cohen failing to replace the game with one against cross-country Arizona with a day to put it all together. With various posts about how pussy UW and the PAC-12 is for not making it happen, how the SEC would have moved mountains to make a game happen. Hell, I-know-you-don't-read-my-stuff.gif, but I quoted and highlighted exactly such a sentiment.
A mere hours later, exactly that scenario happens, neither Alabama or the SEC does shit about it, and your response is to move the goalposts.
My point stands that it's not necessarily a "pussiness" or lack of trying issue when it came to rescheduling a game on short notice, and there's no reason to disbelieve that logistics challenges prevented it from happening. "It is possible because the SEC would have done it" is now proven to be an inadequate counterargument, as they are in the process of failing to solve (or care to solve) a much simpler problem.

I love your effort, but don't get too wrapped up in arguing with mouthbreathers. They'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.1to392831weretaken said:
Yes they did. In August. What's that got to do with baseless claims about UW not trying hard enough to play Arizona twice in November?dnc said:
The point is that the SEC wouldn't let Bama drop a game it needed to have a shot at relevance. They would have done whatever was necessary to fill that slot. But they don't have to scramble because they had their shit together from the beginning.1to392831weretaken said:

Whether you think UW has a shot at the playoff or not is irrelevant. None of us know. But the Pac decided it wasn't worth the trouble to make sure the window stayed open.
That's a massive issue.
