PAC-12 CHAMPIONSHIP: Washington vs. Utah - 7CT FOX
Go Dawgs. Should be an entertaining game as both teams actually still know how to play good defense. CCG site sucks. Went in 2016. Dismal location. Outside of NY/New England, the Bay Area is the worst CFB market in the country. If the game was anywhere else in the conference footprint, attendance would be better. Add a Friday night at rush hour, well.... Fortunately, it will be in Vegas sooner rather than later.

Updated Bowl Projections per ESPN
Nah, I like Iowa State. 😉 Actually you're probably right; the Cougs know how to have fun and are Ag, not aggy. I'd actually love a home/home with ISU but that ain't never gonna happen. We do need some more Big 12 - Pac 12 matchups though; I'm tired of the B1G matchups UW usually goes for.

Then I'd love to see WSU slotted there against you, if only to see a major American city drained completely dry of alcohol. It would be epic.

Yep...but I'm a bit older than you. It wasn't anywhere near that even for out of state back then.

That's okay. They didn't give me any either. And I'm still giving them money every football season.

Washington isn't a playoff team this year. If the Huskies beat Utah, we'll go to Pasadena and be damned happy about it.

This happened last year, of course, with UW going to the Fiesta. Moving everyone up a place did not end well for the conference. (That said, I definitely could see WSU going to the Fiesta and the UW-Utah loser going to the Alamo.)

11/25 AP Top 25 Poll... Texas is #9
I'd have UT slightly above UW at this point - the Huskies have lost 3 road games against 8-4, 7-4 and 7-5 teams by a total of 10 points (one on a missed 37-yard FG and one on a pick-6 by the backup QB), but UT's wins are more impressive so far. They're both pretty close, IMO.

So Couging it happens in Utah too?

I think they can find room for it in the Hall of Air.

5pm Pacific, 7 Central, which sucks only marginally less. But the rest of your post is spot on.

No, Mike Leach, YOU'RE awesome! [Pirates Last Voyage]
I'm not sure what to think about Leach even after 7 seasons at WSU. Yes, Mike Price won two conference championships there - but it had been 60+ years since their previous one when Price won his first. It is a tough place to recruit to; the Palouse is really quite nice but it can be difficult to sell to 17-year olds from CA, Hawai'i, or the Seattle area. OTOH, it took the biggest collapse in Apple Cup history in 2012 or he'd be 0-7 against UW. UW DC Jimmy Lake said last night that what Leach does is very effective but that he will not change it. Clearly Petersen figured out how to beat him and as Leach just keeps doing the same thing, until he proves he can adjust against what UW is doing, things may not change in the Apple Cup. I think Leach is a perfect fit for WSU and vice-versa; they will let the Pirate swing his sword and embrace his ways, because without him may lie something far worse. Yet even with the outstanding results he's been putting up there, if he can't beat Washington even his seat will start warming up. I hope the Cougs make a big 6 bowl and do well - getting Leach back on a big stage is always an enjoyable thing.

The Apple Cup game thread
Yes, it was most excellent... Flask didn't last too long, but it never does in Pullman. Snow was crazy; it was supposed to rain but obviously was a few degrees cooler. Wasn't nearly as cold as 2014 though. Hope you make the Peach or Fiesta, Cougs. Would love to see you beat hell out of a matchup like that.

Who are the Hot New CFB Coaching Candidates
And they should be. I hope, when he goes, he leaves the conference however. He's got a huge upside for someone who has not yet been a head coach.

Who are the Hot New CFB Coaching Candidates
You shut your whore mouth. (Kwiatkowski is awesome too but has shown no inclination to become a head coach. He seems quite happy where he is. UW knows Lake is headed out sooner rather than later.)

The song was written in 1915, just after the Allied debacle at Gallipoli (which is on the Dardanelles). Both the Royal Navy and French navy failed to "Pass the Dardanelles." Admittedly, the Coug fight song is much easier to remember (thanks, Tom Tuttle of Tacoma!), and has a spelling test in it to boot.

Colorado fires Mike Macintyre, hires Mel Tucker
He won 8 conference games that year. In his other four seasons as CU head coach he has won a TOTAL of 6 and will finish last in the South every one of those seasons (and the South has not been good at all for most of those). I like CU and am happy to have them in the conference, but they should be doing a bit better than that.
