    Georgia State isn't Georgia Southern.


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

    Actually, Illinois was originally scheduled by Hedges, dummy:

    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.

    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:

    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.
