what a wizard larry scott is. Always special to have your only great team playing at 10:30 on the east coast.

I'm actually semi surprised at that line, I think this game could either go like Oregon where we bury them early and win easily something like 55-20. Or the passrush and defensive gameplan will continue to suck, the offense comes out sort of flat, and the game becomes Arizona part deaux.
Either way it will be interesting

    Better exposure on ESPN at 10:30 ET than buried on the PAC-12 network where no one will watch.

    Am I the only one who likes the later start times? I can do stuff throughout the day and than either go to the game or go to a bar with some friends to watch the game....

    I hate the 12:30 start times because I cannot get drunk...

    The pac12 hasn't been getting the ABC game at 5 either.

    The B1G and the SEC and now the ACC punk us on exposure. Scott is an idiot

    When was the last time the Pac 12 was on ABC?

    Sounds like a personal decision. Hey, I'm drunk right now!

    I don't think the 7:30 time slot is that bad, especially as the ESPN game. It's the only decent game on during that time slot, and I'll have it on pretty much regardless of the matchup. The only reason the casual viewer west of the Rockies would watch UW-Cal during primetime with plenty of other, better, B1G/SEC/ACC games are on would be if we're losing and they want to see the upset.

    I'd imagine UW-Cal has the same type of national interest as Clemson-NC State did for us. I would never watch that start to finish, just tuned in when I saw NC State up in the second half. I'm glad the Arizona game was at 7:30 too, we looked like shit.

    We don't have much to gain reputation wise against Cal. Stanford, Oregon, Utah games were all solid time slots on national tv, and all had decent to high national interest.

    I'm pretty die hard but I won't be tuning in. I am going to that event, and hadn't even planned on leaving until 10PM in hopes I could catch it. But, thanks to LSFS I will miss it. What kind of idiot plays the only team left in the PAC that matters nationally at 1030 at night in the East? What a fucking idiot.

    Ugh. 2am on the east coast when it finishes. Though it better be over at halftime.

    Probably stating the obvious, but the networks pick the games and time slots. The conference needs a clause that prevents the top ranked team from starting a game later than 8:30 EST.

    And one more tinfoil hat thing, why would the network not want to show a UW game at a reasonable time unless this is some bullshit collusion to ensure UW gets fucked over in some way.

    Saw a tweet from one of the beat guys, Jude or Caple... basically said ESPN had the #1 choice this week, and their only option was 7:30 slot. They chose UW. FOX had #1 choice next week and they chose UW for the 4:30 slot.

    our* huskies are ranked #4 in the country in november with a fair shot at the college playoff and you, a guy who has a forum named after him on a husky message board, are going to skip the game because it's on too late?

    wtf am i missing here? huskies 9-0 > drunken bonfire sex.
    We? are losing that game. Don't blame him.

    Was that shithead Larry Scott born yet?


    If you guys don't massacre Cal I will wonder what the heck? Should be able to cruise to a forty point win. Good luck.
