We visit Seattle regularly, usually before a trip to Victoria. I joined a fancy golf club in Vic a while back and my wife fancies herself the type of person who escapes the Houston heat to "do summers" in your corner of the country.

Other than the Michigan game (committed to going to a wedding that day in the Seattle area already/kill me), which game would you choose on next year's schedule for a first experience in Husky stadium. Considerations include atmosphere, weather, etc.

Too bad you’ll miss the Michigan game, that’s the clear winner of next years schedule and as of 2 days ago was very much looking forward to it. Now, not so much. Out of the rest of games, November 2 USC is the best for sure for a game atmosphere. But, could be pretty bad weather wise.

I’d DeBoer had stayed, I’d have recommended any game since it would have a good UW crowd and even a September game against Eastern Michigan would give you an opportunity for great weather and probably a late-arriving but healthy fan attendance. I don’t see that happening now. Lots of tradeoffs between weather and game atmosphere is what I see for 2024. I’m still bummed, which is probably making me overly pessimistic about 2024. But in reality the team is decimated by the NFL and transfer portal as of right now.

As of now, September 14th is an open date. If that gets filled with the Apple Cup that could be a fun experience. Would be good weather and likely a good fan turnout. But, only go if it’s at Husky Stadium. Don’t bother if it’s at a Lumen Field.
 
So thoughtful. You’re going to give @EsophagealFeces a run for his money as the nice guy of the year award.

Weather vs atmosphere/opponent. I got lucky in November for the weather at the Utah game. Rained a little and wasn’t freezing cold.
 
Realized on response that I come off like a big pussy. I'm not especially concerned about bad weather. My favorite Clemson game ever was the 2015 ND game that was played in a literal hurricane. Only concern in re: weather is if it causes other people to stay home and degrades the gameday experience.

USC sounds like the winner.
 
For good weather in September, go to the Apple Cup on 9/14. Should be extra spicey Coug fans in attendance. The rest of the home schedule is trash until USC in November (since you can't go to the Michigan game).

You joined a golf club in a place where you don't live or at least spend a significant amount of time?

Not that weird. Don’t judge.

He also bet a significant amount on our dwags, joined HH, and met us at the circle jerk. I think that’s all you need to know about his decision making.

Plus the obvious answer is obvious. Us pours will never get it.
 
USC is the answer … historically USC avoids coming North in November and there’s a long history of disaster for them when they do

Victoria is great and definitely a massive improvement over Houston in the summer … I’m assuming Bear Mountain?
