Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

PT Barnum is still selling his bullshit

On future schedules: Sarkisian and AD Scott Woodward met Tuesday, and Sarkisian said the Huskies will stick with the general outline of their “A-B-C” format, as many around college football. The Huskies have four nonconference games scheduled for 2014 (which is allowable because of their season-opening trip to Hawaii), with Eastern Washington — an FCS program, like Idaho State — scheduled to come to Husky Stadium on Sept. 6, 2014. Sacramento State is scheduled to open the 2015 season at Husky Stadium, and Sarkisian said scheduling those FCS programs probably won’t change for UW.

  • I like being Pool BoyFS and SarkFS and insult our fans by saying at Hawaii, Illinois, Eastern Washington and Georgia Southern is an A, B, C fucking schedule I do that.

    It's an C, C, D, F schedule only because Eastern is decent for a little school.

    Next years home schedule is Illinois, Georgia Southern, Eastern Washington, ASU, UCLA, Stanford, and Oregon State. Better win 9 or 10 this year because season tickets next year are going to plummet(probably will anyways who wants to pay to see these games besides UCLA and Stanford??).

    If you buy 2014 season tickets, you deserve to die in a fucking fire.

    Buy the conference games from scalpers or from UW itself.

    Agree. Worst home slate I've seen in a while. We haven't had a big time OOC team travel here since Nebraska took over our stadium and plunger raped us in 2010. It's like ever since then they are afraid to have those games.

    The thing is if they have a tuffer OOC schedule then it is non stop bitching about how hard the schedule is .. the top teams are playing an easier schedule...we have the hardest schedule in the nation...wha wha. The issue is the Hawaii game. That could be a team like Nebraska or Michigan.

    The Hawaii game isn't the issue, playing at Hawaii allows you an extra game. If there's no Hawaii game you can't replace it with classy huskers or wolverines, you just get 12 games.

    The issue is having Georgia State and Eastern Washington on the same schedule. Shameful.

    Four crisp fall days is plenty.

    If it isn't, go watch some actual football games in remote crisp fall locations in September.

    The Arizona schools also hadn't gotten serious about football yet.

    That is the most pathetic home schedule since...

    Lincoln HS
    Fort Worden
    College of Puget Sound.

    Dobie never had to face a ranked NW team.

    When the Pacific Coast Conference formed in 1916, other teams around the league rebelled against Washington because Gil Dobie had been largely dictating who played who and when. Something tells me Gloomy Gil wouldn't have looked favorably at revenue sharing.

    Georgia State isn't Georgia Southern.


    Also, playing top FCS teams is still playing fucking dreck.

    Actually, Illinois was originally scheduled by Hedges, dummy:

    http://seattletimes.com/html/huskies/2008174613_uwfb12.html


    BONUS: These paragraphs are hilarious to read now...

    The series with Notre Dame, BYU and Oklahoma were all in the books when Hedges retired in January 2004, and they were completed in cooperation with then-coach Rick Neuheisel. In 2002, when UW had what was perceived to be a softer-than-usual schedule, Hedges talked about the criticism she'd gotten from Huskies fans who didn't want to see a bunch of bad teams, and she noted some of the opponents in line for future years.

    In fact, when Hedges left, the 2008 nonconference schedule included home games with BYU, Boise State and Notre Dame and a road game at Illinois. Oklahoma was scheduled to come in 2007, a week before Ohio State — back-to-back visits by powerhouses that would have been unprecedented in school history.

    Willingham and Zook backed into rose bowl?

    Zook tied for second in the conference with Michigan. Ohio State was too busy getting bitchslapped in the title game to be in the Rose Bowl:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_Illinois_Fighting_Illini_football_team

    Willingham at least won the conference, even though as I proved years ago the Pac-10 in 1999 was the worst the Pac-10 ever was in football.

    Sarkwood's scheduling formula is more like B-D-F than anything close to A-B-C. The real sin in B-D-F is not just taking a once proud major college football program down to midling level or lower, but forcing season ticket buyers and Tyee contributors into coughing up the bucks for donut hole football. It's the same sin-of-greed that had(or has) NFL owners including preseason games in their season ticket packages at full regular season price.

    I did feel raped when opening the season ticket mailing packet and seeing four ISU-UW tickets there for the choke-and-puke. At $136 per seat including Tyee fee to watch the Huskies scrimmage with ISU and knowing that I'm not forced to buy into this product perversion, I can still hear Sarkwood humming that familiar Montlake tune: "Fuck you in the face a disgrace you stupid gullible Husky season ticket buying asshole!"

    Compared to Sarkwood's B-D-F, sixteen penalties per game is tolerable.
