Me: I think the Cougs have a shot this year
Since Kalen DeBoer told UW today he's gone to Alabama: 4-star recruits decommit, 3 starters who could've come back enter NFL, 2 starting DBs enter transfer portal, Miss St QB Will Rogers is not transferring to UW now.
Hate what college football's become
On question of the future of Apple Cup: “Seven home games is part of the economic model that UW has to have in order to be in a financial position to succeed.”

6 in Seattle, 3 in Pullman over a 10 year period. Shameful behavior here from WSU.

Goodwill is what Schulz was using during the Pac 12 TV negotiations, and it got him stabbed in the back by his conference partners.
It is incredible how ignorant you are of this entire situation.
While I sympathize with WSU/OSU's claims of financial harm caused from their Pac-12 partners leaving (& right to some of the conf $), holding the CFP hostage & demanding "Power" $ & voting rights in perpetuity seems more than a little entitled
Schultz quickly losing any goodwill
Kirk Schulz, the chairman of the Pac-12 board of directors during the year where they failed to secure a media rights deal that could have kept the conference together, is now the lone vote keeping the College Football Playoff from securing a deal to continue past 2025.

COUGS WIN! Wazzu clamps down and gets the win in Seattle! Cougs have won four of the last five over the Huskies and four of the last five in Seattle. Five Cougs go for double figures in the rivalry win!

. Shares an especially long embrace with wide receiver Lincoln Victor, who was in tears after his last college game.
WSU and OSU’s approach to all of this will likely result in burning bridges with the 10 schools that used to be part of the Pac-12 and that are now part of 3 different major conferences.
These schools will likely not schedule them going forward if they continue the path of
The WSU College Republicans have set up a GoFundMe to build another Trump border wall on campus. They want to build it 10 feet higher this time and "own the libs mercilessly."
Why is everyone assuming the Apple Cup and Oregon-Oregon State games will stop? First off, the B1G doesn't allow FCS games. UO suddenly has 5 openings from 2024-28 and H&H with Michigan State and Ohio State opening up. UW has 4 FCS games going away and a Michigan game.
No - the schools should have done what is in the best interests of the sport, the fans, and the athletes.
Instead they did what was in the best interest of getting as rich as possible.
An unpopular opinion but the drama between the Pac-12 Schools seems to hinge on a belief from WSU and OSU that the other 10 schools should not have done what was best for themselves and rather should have done what was best for OSU and WSU (stay in the Pac-12 so that OSU and WSU
In an interview with
@YahooSports
, SEC & Big Ten commissioners, for the first time, express doubts in their commitment to the CFP future if leaders can’t “get right” issues.
CFP meeting in Dallas Monday-Tuesday for key talks on future format & rev-share.
Oregon/Washington is playing a fantastic title game.
These two schools played perhaps the game of the year earlier.
Colorado was the story of CFB in September.
USC is one of the biggest brands in football.
So remind me again why this conference couldn’t survive together?
What will it take to convince
@WSUCougars
to just sell beer in the stadium instead of outside the stadium, which results in thousands of people missing the 3rd quarter?
@NicoleAuerbach
@Dylanhaugh
the departing schools had no issue stripping the voting rights of USC and Ucla last summer, so it seems like the precedent is there

Nobody stabbed you in the back. If you didn't know what was going on then that's on your University officials. You guys don't have the right to steal our money.
