Most of the cuogs sit around blaming Washington instead of Shulz for what happened. Fucking idiots.
-
Does anyone really think WSU was anything more than a bystander in the entire realignment process? They had to resort to trying to get the State legislature to run bills which would have prevented UW from leaving if WSU wasn't tied at the hip to them.
Cougs should be blaming the tv networks.
-
Agree in theory. The networks took the action that landed OSU and WSU exactly where they belong. But Cuogs should not blame any external party. Blame themselves for not being worthy of more than $5-$6 million per year. Its much easier to be mad at the networks that know WSU's value or the teams that left that know their own value. This whole thing was preordained if the P12 deal didn't compensate the best programs much more fairly.
It sucks to suddenly be forced to realize that you are nothing in the overall scheme of college football, but here they are.
-
I'm surprised a league with the likes of Cincinnati, Iowa State, directional Florida school, TCU, and now Ute didn't offer the two reject schools.
-
I'm not. Who the fuck wants to go to Pullman or Corvallis if they don't have to?
-
Husky Derangement Syndrome

My thing with the truly supposedly hateful Coug fans is all you've done is HATE Washington forever why the fuck would they look out for you? Also, you hate UW so much shouldn't you be happy to be disassociated from them.
I hate continuing a fake Apple Cup. I'm really glad that when our team could really benefit from three true cupcakes to get their footing and then go to business in the Big 10 the third one is gonna be against a team whose whole season is one fucking game.
-
Couldn't agree more. Fuck the apple cup. It's a charity game for a program that hates UW for not being willing to go down in flames with them.
I do get their desperation. They've been sucking hind tit off the rest of the conference for all this time and the tit got ripped away. All of those years portraying themselves as the little engine that could while being gifted revenue they couldn't earn on their own can't be easy to let go of. Has to hurt. I just appreciate that they've been so cuogish about it, making it easy to just laugh at them.
-
I’m surprised Cougs haven’t done more to get the politicians involved and get a welfare check like Cal.
-
It's cute that you think it will matter that it's the cuogs super bowl every year.
This series is going to get even more lopsided than it already was.
-
I’m fine with playing Cuog every year, but no way in hell should UW ever step foot in Pullman again.
Dannen lost a lot of points on that one.
-
Same with Lumen fucking field. You know that was a big circle jerk concession where WSU's AD wants it to be a neutral field "for all the loyal cougs in the Seattle area that have gone through this difficult tim."
Fuck that shit.
-
To me, this "rivalry" all the sudden became Colorado/Colorado State.
I'd drop 'em. No upside. They'll devolve into a lower level D1 program whose whole season will be focused on beating one team. Never play them there again - there's no money in it - and make them come to Husky Stadium every year or fuck it.
One thing life and the Godfather have taught me is this: when you have your foot on the throat of those who hate you, push down hard and hold it there until they suffocate and die. When you start feeling sorry for people who wish you harm is PRECISELY when you bend over to tie your shoes and get an elephant's cock shoved up your ass.
Fuck 'em.
-
I'd like to disagree but this is correct
-
You're not wrong. However, Cuog's whole season has always focused on beating one team, so is it really any different?
-
Hell hath no fury like an ex-wife scorned.
-
I don’t remember the elephant cock scene in Godfather. Was it in the directors cut?
-
In the directors cut Mo Greene was tortured instead of shot through the eye during his massage. You have to know the right people to see that version.
-
calling the cuog 'bystanders' in all of this is generous. theyre like the second cousin of the kids in the divorce.
-
-
I can’t wait to have an ex-wife.
-
Cuog is the single most disadvantaged? Least advantaged? by location FBS program in the nation, and OS is probably #2. Ames, Iowa is closer to Minneapolis, Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Atlanta, KC, STL, Dallas, HOUSTON, etc, etc, etc, than Pullman is to LA. JFC, it's closer to the eastern seaboard than WSU is to LA.
-
Pullman is about 100 miles closer to LA than Seattle is. Don’t think that’s their problem.
-
What stupid fucking post, of course it is. Location, location, location.
-
Was just in Pullman last weekend. Damn long drive. That's all I have to say about that.
-
Yeah the places I hear compared to Pullman like Manhattan, Kansas or Stillwater, Oklahoma are really closes to the major cities in their states. Ames as well and Ames is a shorter drive to Chicago than Pullman is Seattle and you don't have to cross a massive mountain range to do it.
That Pullman became and still is the school it is really can be confounding.
-
I usually rate Pullman 1 and Manhattan 2 in terms of toughest to access (former) power 5 towns. Followed by State College, Corvallis, Blacksburg and Ames (in some order).
Pullman is a good 30 mins closer to Spokane than Manhattan is to Kansas City, but KC is a way bigger city and you can get an easier flight in there. -
Forgot about Spokane.
Isn't Corvallis actually easier to get to than Eugene? I know there's an airport there but imagine flights are indirect and expensive.
-
State College is a pain in the ass to get to
-
Eugene has commercial flights, Corvallis does not. Eugene effectively serves as the commercial airport for Corvallis.
I forgot about Lincoln which isn't that big and an hour from Omaha.
Portland OR #33, 7.2m
Kansas City #44, 4.7m
Omaha #62, 2.1m
Oklahoma City #69, 1.9m
Spokane #71, 1.9m
Des Moines, #82 1.3m
Eugene #106, .7m
Harrisburg #113, .6m
Roanoke #158, .3m (VaTech)
Lincoln, Manhattan, State College and Pullman don't even show up in the top 200, which cuts off at 127K passengers per year. They've got flights but it's only to like 1-3 cities. I'm not going to dig in other databases to compare the size of these pennies.
Corvallis sucks but 100 mins to Portland and you can go most places, plus Eugene is closer. Manhattan is 2 hours from the KC airport and even further from Wichita. Pullman is closer to Spokane but that is the only option other than 5 hours to Seattle. State College is a fucking pain but within 3:45 gets you to Philly, DC, Baltimore and Pittsburgh, plus a little bit more to NYC. My kid's PSU club travel tennis team is going to Sacramento tomorrow for some big USTA college tennis club event; they have to bus 3:30 to Dulles but at least get a nonstop flight out of it.
All of these places are PITAs to get to; think I've been to all except Pullman, Ames and Stillwater. Pullman still ranks toughest because Spokane is so much smaller than KC (for Manhattan to drive) and there are literally no other options to get there except drive forever. Multiple options are valuable.
