    Also: Disagree with the idea that UW will be left in the dust when USC, Oregon and Utah join other conferences. If nothing else, UW will be wanted for the Seattle market alone. Lots of TVs, and even when UW sucks, they draw eyeballs with the best of them in the Pac.

    I think UW will become another Northwestern/Purdue/Illinois type program in the Big-10. Actually, they already are the equivalent of that in the Pac-12.

    Yeah, I meant to say a likely scenario is Washington gets included in some kind of 32-team semi-pro college football league because of the TV market and distant pedigree but ends up being the Northwestern/Vanderbilt/Duke of said league. Same thing if they jump to a power conference to just try and survive.

    The thought that went into KFC was impressive, I'll give that.
    Too much ADD, coffee and free time. Thought about it more and it would have to be a comparison to Domino’s. I never hated KFC so I can’t compare them to Nickelback. I’ve never liked Dominos but I just accept it’s reality that it makes money and is successful which is the goal. It has a formula that people like and I don’t get it and never will. Much like Nickelback,

    Zero chance UW is left out of any split/consolidation of the P12 with another conference unless it’s by UW’s choice

    I honestly have no idea what's going to happen with college football, the Pac-12, and UW football. Remember 1.5 years ago when players made that manifesto of demands about how they weren't going to play anymore?

    What I do know is college football needs to start finding ways to make it appeal to more than six programs and smaller markets. Ratings and attendance show this. Figuring out how to make it not a fading afterthought in markets like Seattle would be big.

    Well. Thanks for checking into Inge I'm now fully terrified of this years team. Last time we had someone in charge of anything with that resume he got fired for his incompetence after 10? games.

    I know alot of people are squirming for this offenc(s)e but I have no interest in watching BIG12 football in purple and gold. 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

    Do you really want to watch a team score 7 against Montana or try and beat bad teams desperately trying to scratch out even just like 17-20 points each week. I know the idea is to be good at offense and defense, but I think the program's serious options I think were Deboer and Wilcox, and we all know Wilcox was going to have to win every game 17-13 for eternity.

    Also, was Fresno State's defense better against Oregon and UCLA last year than Washington's was?

    Greed is obviously a huge issue in CFB … always has been

    Problem is that what CFB definitely needs is to figure out how to grow the pie collectively … zero evidence that that’s the case

    I like the capitalism of college ball over the socialist NFL


    Still upset the NFL stopped Eddie DeBartolo and Jerry Jones

    That was great football

    So is college ball today. Quit whining and get in the game

    And yes college is publicly funded. Take it to the tug

    Well personally if I had a choice of winning games 14-10 or 40-35 I'll take the good defence every day. Football is cyclical and the SEC just had a strong defensive natty game so everyone will be excited about defence again for a few years. I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure most of UWs success has always come from a strong D.

    Maybe Morrell will be stronger? He's the CO DC and apparently running the entire DB part so we'll see

    Dominos was the GOAT pizza place in the early to mid 80s. The 30 minutes or free pizza was a godsend to a teenage nacho when the neighbor in the apartment building next door would order pizza and the driver couldn’t find their unmarked unit. Said driver would give up and ring our doorbell asking if we ordered and I’d get a free pizza.
    No wonder you became the man that you are
