    You sound hurt.
    Bankruptcy has that effect on people.

    I haven’t seen someone so butt hurt since I went in raw on TOF.

    As far as filling the stadium goes I think it's kind of a cop out to hope for the traveling away fans to snap up seats. HS should be one of the few stadiums in the country with a legitimate advantage from the fans. Giving Jen the out to just hope people want to come regardless of what colour their t shirts are is soft

    Let's also not forget that even if Ohio St isn't here very often UW will finally be able to play the SoCal schools every year again which in hindsight is one of the absolute most retarded things the PAC could have done by not having those matchups every year

    This. You get the only matchups that would sell the most tickets from the old conference. Plus one or two big draws from the new conference. Depending on what happens with the apple cup too, it all helps attendance.

    And yes the locals don't support the school like they once did for a variety of reasons. But a butt in the seat is a butt in the seat. It's the difference between keeping a shitty basketball coach extra years or not if enough ppl come. Cop out or not. The novelty will wear off Eventually but it's a win regardless.

    UW is not primarily banking on opposing fans filling the stadium from simply a financial standpoint, its just better from a competitive standpoint. The stadium and gameday experience can't help but get better in this scenario.

    The MSU game is a good example. Get a midwestern team with a pulse and a fanbase to the stadium and its just more fun.

    What UW has been lacking for 20 years is a reason for any football fan of any team whatsoever to give a shit about what happens at Husky stadium.

    Having USC in Husky Stadium has always been better than having ASU in the stadium regardless of how good the teams were.

    Getting stuck with a steady rotation of P12 north foes Stanford, Cal, Oregon st...That's a snooze fest.

    have to think sdsu's exit fee from mwc is more than what they'd get from the big 12.

    why would yormark even want boovs? the p12 is dead, mission accomplished.

    Seriously. This would be the ultimate in Couging it. Missing out on the Big12 to fucking San Diego state because you were too busy bitching about UW and Oregon instead of trying to secure a future for your school would be the most Cuog fucking thing ever. Stupid cunts gonna stupid cunt
    Everything about SDSU is better than WSU.

    I thought there was a slight chance Yormark might take Coug and Boove over ASU and Utah because he already had SLC and Phoenix in BYU and UA. With little brothers he theoretically gets Portland and Seattle market share eyeballs. If those presidents weren’t offering a reduced share upon entrance as an enticement then they were asleep at the wheel.

    I honestly thought the pac and acc could’ve come together. I don’t think either of them thought shit was real until it got real.

    im sure Duke and Carolina shootyhoops will be thrilled about traveling to Pullman and Corvallis in the middle of winter.
    Stanford, Cal.... OSU, WSU is such a strange combination. Clearly feels like two separate conferences obv.
