    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.

    (Note: I started writing this while listening to the pod and prior to the pod people talking about the TV market stuff.)

    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.

    And ... Nickelback is Olive Garden.

    I did say fast food and never considered OG or Outback as fast food necessarily
    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. 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩
