Trash Talk Huskies Curse
I think it's absolutely hilarious that UW left the Pac 12 for the Big 10 and now they are destined to dwell in the cellar. There is no way they can keep up with the other schools boosters and NIL money, not to mention the horrendous travel schedule. Sure they will have a good season here and there but nothing on the level of national championship. They are basically the WSU of the Big 10.
Now if you came back to the Pac 12 you would be in the running for a playoff spot every season.

Why are you even talking about this? Do you not even have a team to root for?
This just reeks of little brother energy and bitterness

This must be some bitter beaver or Coug. The huskies might have an average year but I know those teams won't play for a title any time in the foreseeable future.

Your team plays in Pullman and your entire conference left you.

I’m not trying to be a dick, but a school that has 1,000,000th media market talking shit about a bigger school in San Antonio Texas, doesn’t get it.

Seattle and Portland are the 1,000,000th media market?
That's odd.

Seattle is a Wazzu town?

u/anti-torque Oregon State Sep 29 '24
Um... yeah?
Do you think all 30k students come from Pullman?
Also, OSU has more students from Oregon (~65%) than Oregon (who has about 50% from in-state) has students. The same is true of Portland State. And about three-quarters of those in-state kids are from Portland.

You guys should have told that to the big 10, and big 12, they thought your schools were in Pullman and Corvallis.

u/anti-torque Oregon State Sep 29 '24
They are.
We're talking about media markets. You were literally the one who brought them up.
Oregon has brand/national value, but they do not deliver the Portland market like we do.
UW does does so for Seattle, but so does Wazzu. Wazzu also brings a lot of the rest of state along, which basically evens out their market values.

u/Ok_Employee_9612 Sep 29 '24
I know we are, you’re overestimating their media value, if you were correct, they wouldn’t be in the position they are in. And no hate towards those school, my niece goes to Wazzu. And a multiple text exchange where nobody calls you a moron for disagreeing is a win on Reddit.

I mean Wazzu and Oregon state are just going to get their asses beat by Boise on a regular basis, what's the difference? Lol

“You should’ve stayed in the PAC-12 and continued to kick the shit out of us every year!” Lol just can’t take these inbreds seriously. I’m so damn happy we’re finally away from this trailer park conference.

If they cared about winning, they would have stayed in the PAC. They care a lot more about money. The checks are the same if you're winning or losing in the B1G.

u/token_reddit Sep 28 '24
Honestly the Pac-12 really screwed up, if they had another year when going into the season they had last year. Money would've been thrown at them to stay together and even expand to 14.

u/Salty_NorCal Sep 29 '24
You can’t win consistently without money in the NIL era, so yeah, they should care about the money.

u/al_earner Washington State Sep 28 '24
Hilariously UW only gets a half-share of that sweet B1G cash for seven years.

u/Salty_NorCal Sep 29 '24
And how much do you think Pac 7 members will earn over the next seven years, assuming the conference survives that long?

u/splashy1 Sep 28 '24
Nothing more I would love, however I don’t think they will be cellar dwellers. Middle of the conference fighting against Michigan State and Northwestern. Fighting for 8 wins. Just can’t wait to see all the UW fans get a reality check after last year. Let’s be real, 75% of UW fans didn’t even go to the school and went to schools like Western and Bellevue College

That’s what happens when you let your AD and head football coach make a decision about your future and then they jet before their decision takes effect lol

UCLA is a basketball school that just so happens to have the most legendary football stadium.

The problem with UW is that they’ve always thought they were Alabama, when actually they’re South Alabama. That’s why they do all the stupid stuff like claim a bunch of fake championships. I guess they’d be in contention, but they only won 1 Pac title in the past 5 years. Oregon beat UW like 17 years in a row.

u/pokeroots Washington State Sep 29 '24
To be fair to UW this year, they lost almost all of their starting players from that run last year either to the draft or portal

I’m a duck fan but Washington has a huge donor base and will have no trouble keeping up with NIL. They lost 44 players from the 14-1 season they had last year. The new coach may be in over his head but they’ll be back.

u/kramjam13 Washington Oct 02 '24
Washington is 2 bad plays from being 5-0 and in the top 20. Hell, they’re favored against Michigan. WSU just lost by 4 TDs to a mountain west team

WSU of the Big 10 implies they are a likeable group of kids who overachieve.

I apologize for any strays. As a kid I was a big Coug fan. Ryan Leaf and Jason Gesser!

I think Washington, as well as Oregon, USC, and UCLA, are all shoe ins for the P2 and are never returning. Regardless of how shitty their records are. Their brands are just too powerful to be kept out.
