    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.

    I'll carry on the LW Kangaroo Jack Doog torch in pup's honor.

    Guys did you know Washington is in Seattle?

    It's a handicap, but Seattle still looks way cooler on TV than Austin, Waco, College Station, Dallas, Norman, etc.

    If you got it, flaunt it.
    that's because it is. west coast still the best coast.

    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.

    Mocking McAfee, name a bigger football program with a more urban setting? I couldn’t think of one, maybe UT-Austin? Georgia Tech?
    USC?
    I think the only contender here are USC, UT-Austin, GA Tech and UW.

    @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.
    Miami
    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.

    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.

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

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