2009 WSU/tOSU

Jaxbuck,

The WSU-Buckeye game will be held in Seahawks Stadium (now called Qwest Field). Its certainly a much smaller venue than the Shoe, I believe Qwest seats just under 68,000 but it has nearly all the creature comforts that an NFL stadium can have and all the bells and whistles that the 2nd richest man in America (Seahawks owner and Cougar, Paul Allen) saw fit to cram in it. If they keep with prior practice the game will kick off in the early afternoon and in the evening (around 7pm) the Mariners will play a game at Safeco Field, which is across the street. If somebody in the MLB office is on their game they will think far enough ahead to have the Mariners play Cleveland that night.
If any of you see fit to make the trip, Seattle usually is at its best weatherwise and otherwise in early to mid September. You will enjoy the trip.
Though maybe this time WSU can finally beat tOSU! :biggrin: :biggrin:

Go Cougs!

free beer at my house in 2011 for all OSU fans ... down in SFLA for the UMiami game ( I figured I would offer and be hospitable, figuring many of you won't remember and/or I'll be fired by then and lose my house.)

You've got to realize as Mack Brown says these games don't help either team since the strength of schedule was taken out of the BCS formula. Better to play a weak team you know you can beat then beat the hell out of them!

While you have a point, my conjugationally challenged friend, the SOS is alive and well in the minds of the voters....and in the computers... if you do beat a marquis team there is none of that "Who have they played?" nonsense. And if you're the underdog, you get that opportunity to jump ahead of people in the rankings instead of waiting for them to lose.

To expand on AKAKBUCK's above point, what do you think voters will be more more impressed with, a 30-point win over a team such as Kent State or a 10-point win over a top-5 Texas? If you think the former, then seek help immediately...

Or maybe we get a look at the Mariners hosting the Reds in an American vs National league match-up? Lots of interesting trade history between these two teams. (Though Ken Griffey's probably done by then sadly enough).
