I'm still looking for a place to hide on September 6. Absolutely the worst OOC schedule ever in my long Husky lifetime. A fucking embarrassment and a nearly total rip-off of Husky Football season ticket buyers and boosters with the Illini visit the only game worth attending and that just barely (if Dick Butkus shows up to give the Seahawks a shout-out at halftime). Two of the first four games are cupcake baited traps.
Our conference schedule is again front-loaded in difficulty with Stanford, Oregon, and ASU out of the way prior to November when with the exception of UCLA, we coast to a frozen AC cupcake in Pullman to close-out Petersen's first Pac-12 season. A 12 team, two division conference has trashed our tradition of warming-up on bottom feeders such as Stanford and Oregon in October to carry momentum into November for the crucial. When will UW make the expanders, schedulers, and Nike U pay for this bullshit?
