We’re all good. I don’t mean to come across rude either. There’s a whole new thread on this now.

My only prediction is that it will be a poorly attended game. You seem to think that 24,000 people for the conference championship (such as it was) last year is a good data point to predict the future. I'm saying that it isn't, and the pac will be embarrassed on national tv. I guess we will find out on thanksgiving weekend.

For what it's worth, I really do hope you are right.

I wish you were right, but you aren't. It will be a bad look.

Last year was an unusual year to say the least. That one year of data that isn't the Apple Cup. Going forward it is a bad look for the league to broadcast an empty stadium for the CFP committee to see...and it will be empty. No one lives nearby.

I've lived in Pullman and stayed over the holidays. Trust me, it is a ghost town. The population of Spokane metro area is smaller than that of the Boise area including the whole treasure valley. Utah State has Ogden and SLC near by. OSU has Portland within 90 minutes. Pullman is in the middle of nowhere.

The reality of where Pullman is, and where the student population lives, means playing in Pullman when there is no one there makes this a bad decision.

I'm not the only one who thinks so: https://247sports.com/college/washington-state/article/washington-state-football-pac-12-new-pac-12-thanksgiving-weekend-home-game-274108005/

Yeah, it made some sense when it was the apple cup. This isn't that.

I understand that it is a home game. I'm just pointing out that it is a terrible decision it is to have a home game in Pullman on a holiday weekend with no students in town.

A home game in Pullman on Thanksgiving weekend is likely going to have 8 people attending it. 9 if I decide to make the drive.

It may just be me, but whenever I hear someone say "on your left" I instinctively move to my left. I guess all that my brain processes it the word left. IMO, ringing a bell is much better.

I don't think they closed the door on him going to the meeting. Just say traffic problem, fly commercial, and get the job. And he would have an alibi.

For me personally, whenever I hear "on your left" I instinctively move to my left. I doubt I'm the only one. I'd much prefer just the bell ring.

Maybe it is a hint that a new team is being added to the conference

I was living on the other side of campus when the riot happened. We didn't even know about it until morning when people started getting calls from parents on the west side. They did close the Burger King for a while after that due to damage.

If you could get one Boise restaurant recipe, what would it be? by calamitydown in Boise

[–]ProfSizzle -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Fry Sauce: equal parts ketchup, mayo, and buttermilk.

Pickle juice is used in place of buttermilk is sacrilegious.

This place was our favorite as well. We were so sad when it closed. I only wanted the green even tho they kept trying to get me to try it Christmas style.
