I'll carry on the LW Kangaroo Jack Doog torch in pup's honor.YellowSnow said:On thing I noticed on Friday walking down to Red Square which was disappointing was how little purple gear there was amongst the student body. Not sure how well this bodes for the future. We're gonna need more Jack Doogs like @puppylove_sugarsteel (RIP) to survive in the long haul.
But I guess we still have enough students that think and care though to pack the student section. Still need to put @UW_Doog_Bot in charge and move them back to the 50. -
that's because it is. west coast still the best coast.YellowSnow said:
It's a handicap, but Seattle still looks way cooler on TV than Austin, Waco, College Station, Dallas, Norman, etc.LoneStarDawg said:Guys did you know Washington is in Seattle?
If you got it, flaunt it.
The Newton area of Boston on a cool, crisp fall day is spectacular for the vintage "classic" feel of college football, where your girlfriend, "Margaret", wears $600 sweaters and $1200 Burberry Scarves (not the scarftard kind) and you actually have a friend named "Chip". Games won't ever matter, but you'll be among the 1 percenters.

Well, it was pretty fucking urban, I can say that. The walk to the stadium for a night game from wherever in the fuck you found to park your car took some nerve.Hypnotique said:

Mocking McAfee, name a bigger football program with a more urban setting? I couldn’t think of one, maybe UT-Austin? Georgia Tech?YellowSnow said:

@LoneStarDawg I'm not a Texas superiority guy but I think UT is closer to Downtown Austin that Montlake is to Downtown Seattle right? Austin has had incredible growth of course but I think Seattle still has a bidder skyline right?
LA Coliseum is about the same distance to Downtown LA as UW is to Downtown Seattle. But it's in a shithole. Still, it's arguably to most iconic overall sports venue in the United States based on 3 Olympics, Pro Football, 2 college teams (until the early 80s), and even @trublue and the World Series in 1959.
NOC about GA Tech and Atlanta. That's pro sports town.
@creepycoug might have had a claim with the TUFF old Orange Bowl.
The Cotton Bowl, where I've now been 3x, is pretty fucking urban, but even though not torn down is effectively dead but for one big game / yr. -
Pitt, Georgia Tech, Miami, USC, Cincinnati? Boston College? Not many for sure.LawDawg1 said:

I think you actually have taken some classes at UW thought. Don't think Pup ever did.backthepack said:

Whatever Joey. I was getting head while smoking a bowl and eating my ham sandwich in the junior parking lot before you even were a twinkle in your dads eyes.backthepack said:

I was referring to Miami (Ohio). Oxford, OH puts the “urrrrrrrr” in urban.creepycoug said:

Even though I'm about to be a Trooj alumnus I'm going to chime in and say that the "urban setting" of USC is haught garbage. It's literally next to a skid row under the freeway and south central LA which is fast recovering from gentrification and going through decolonialism. The beach is the only attractive local feature worth value and it's definitely not within campus proximity.
Gonna hate myself for this but the real competition for UW is UCLA. Westwood for campus and Pasadena for the Rose Bowl with its back against the Los Angeles National Forest and mountains. USC ain't close from an LA perspective.
UW just needs to reassert ownership of the Rose Bowl to maintain setting superiority. -
