Dick Baird opines on the TUFF schedule

the fact that the "voices of Husky football" now refer to teams like Arizona and Stanford as muderer's row is exactly why I would never drop DirecTV to access the Pac12 Network.
Yes, Stanford is now amazing but it wasn't long ago they were the laughing stock of football and somehow they put a priority on football yet with our history, we're relegated to Emmert's simplistic front porch rhetoric.
Watching College Football Live yesterday, Tom Luginbill talked about Colorado being a program where the university administrators and leaders simply don't get it when it comes to football and thus the Buffs shouldn't even be in the Pac12. -
It'll be better next year. Let it play out.

Kind of makes me wonder what other teams think about playing Washington.TierbsHsotBoobs said:
To be fair, it's a B-C-F schedule. Illinois is a BCS conference team after all.TheKobeStopper said:
Bairds been using this FS talking point for years. Oh having to play a good team your first game is so hard, except that your opponent is in the exact same position. There is no advantage gained by playing Boise in the third game if they also get to play two games before it. It only makes sense if you are incapable of thinking.PurpleJ said:"Although the pre-season has a balance of one really good “A” caliber team (Boise State), one Big Ten “B level” team (Illinois, a 2-10 team last season), and one lower division “C” opponent, (Idaho State), they will be played in that order. Ideally you would want to play in reverse order and progressively improve along with the level of your opponent."
I stopped reading there.
And calling Boise an A game and Illinois a B game. Christ. UW is playing a B-F-F ooc schedule.
Are we a B or C game?
Fuck. -
I don't think people view us as being as bad are we really are. I've seen two articles on USC that pointed out the fact that USC doesn't have to play UW and Oregon as a benefit to their schedule. Oregon is understandable, UW not so much.DerekJohnson said:

Then again, we did only receive 3 votes in the coaches poll, so the perception can't be too high.

Bingo More-timeHe_Needs_More_Time said:Arizona at home is considered "Murderer's row" ??? My god has our program falling to shit if that is the case.
This dates back to Ty but I've always hated the "TUFF! Schedule" excuse when Doogs list our conference opponents.
I hate to break it to you guys but we play these guys every year so instead of bitching how tough they are how about demanding our University up the ante and surpass these fucks.

Is Idaho State's "C" classification for cupcake or cunt? "Ideally" goes south whenever the Big Sky is scheduled OOC.PurpleJ said:"Although the pre-season has a balance of one really good “A” caliber team (Boise State), one Big Ten “B level” team (Illinois, a 2-10 team last season), and one lower division “C” opponent, (Idaho State), they will be played in that order.
