  1. AaaaaaaAAAAAaaaaAAAaaa!
  2. Interesting topic. Out here in the PNW we would use "Texas" and everyone would know what it meant (in context of course). So: "Did you see the Texas - Texas A&M game? They've gotta fire Jimbo after that shitshow." (As college football fans, "A&M" would also get that point across; with our group "aggy" is understood.) Washington is nearly always "UDub." More formally, Washington works; on CVs, etc. "University of Washington". For other system schools it's UDub-Tacoma, etc. WSU is Wazzu. (One of their former presidents tried to put a stop to that, saying it wasn't dignified; one of the few things to bring Huskies and Cougs together was laughing him out of the state.) UC-Berkeley is Cal. I don't know what the grads there use, but here Arizona is usually "Zona", sometimes UA. The old Big-8 was messed up. Nobody has ever been able to explain to me CU, NU, MU, KU, OU. Also interesting was the comment on Wisconsin - I've always just said "Wisconsin" but with a system that size, UW-Madison makes sense. I suppose most places other than P12 or B12 country, OSU = Ohio State; here OSU means Oregon State and the others are "Ohio State" and "Oklahoma State". I'd imagine it works the same way down there for OSU = Oklahoma State.
  3. 10pm Pacific = 6am UK, Ireland, Portugal; 7am nearly all the rest of Europe, 8am far eastern Europe, South Africa. (source: me, about an hour from Portimão)
  4. I'm good with ND and Oregon.
  5. Best thread on the site. Would buy a beer for pretty much any poster in it. Iowa? Take that shit to the realignment thread.
  6. That is certainly one of the interesting games in the P12 next Saturday....
  7. It is 12:01 am Pacific time and I have been informed for years by many of you that OU sucks. Since I know that UO sucks, I can go with this.
  8. Looks like UW gets to visit Iowa next season. I should ask @Al_4_ISUwhat not to do when we visit (besides betting the over). Iowa State sounds more fun.
  9. Centuwion! Does it amuse you... when I say... the words... Butt... Dickus? RIP to an an absolute legend.
  10. Oh shit. It was Zorak.
  11. Brexit.
  12. Yeah, the ASU loss was a fluke, but UCLA beat our asses. UW looks a bit better so far this season. What the Dawgs did to Michigan State today should be illegal - it was complete domination. Of course nobody saw it since it was streaming on freaking Peacock. Welcome to our new home.
  13. This just makes me sad. Cannibalism will take over - there's no one or two teams clearly better than the rest - but the P12 may be the best conference top to bottom this year. It's just a damn shame what's happened to what was always an enjoyable and sometimes a great conference to watch. I'm just hoping UCLA will be UW's last conference loss.
  14. For me, that's like y'all rooting for OU. Avatar lemur's hat out front shoulda told ya.
  15. I figured they just missed Pinochet or something.
  16. This is blasphemy. Can't do it. Nope nope nope nope.
  17. Denaturalize. Deport. (Defenestrate - that can be left up to our Ukrainian friends should they so desire.)
  18. His doppelganger was here prior to the Alamo Bowl. We all know Texas is UT and Tulsa backwards is "A Slut." Sorry.
  19. My fall Saturday home for more years than I care to count. I've been fortunate enough to have attended games in a lot of cool places, but Husky Stadium is just something else. It should be illegal to have night games in a setting like that.
  20. That guy's the Taoiseach. Some respect, please.
  21. It's being preempted throughout the PNW for a preseason NFL game... and the post-game show. Apparently we'll get the last hour. Furk.
  22. So will this be one of nature's warning signs, like an ag tag?
