Superhornet is right on....Montana agreed to a 4-1 with Texas but they backed out of the 4 and will host Texas in 2814.

While it's theoretically POSSIBLE for UW to go to Cheney (as then-crappy Oregon State went to Stockton in 1995 and got beat in the midst of a 3-8 year for UOP featuring other body-bag games like Fresno State, Arizona, Nebraska, and the Oregon Ducks), what is more likely is for UW to sign a home-and-home or a front-loaded 2-for-1 WITH AN ESCAPE CLAUSE, and then when all EWU @ UW games are played, UW would then execute the escape clause with a bit of cash.

It happen's all the time like that. What's the big deal?

Washington has NEVER played an FCS team. So no, it does not happen all the time.

The decision to play an FCS team at home was an incredibly unpopular decision among Washington fans.

You don't get it.

Landshark: I never said WASHINGTON did it all the time. I said that it's a common thing.

Ursus: So they don't do a mere home-and-home. They make it a 2-for-1 or a 3-for-1. No big deal. No need to get in a tizzy.

You think I didn't see you post that earlier? I don't care if it's a fucking 20 for 1 they are not gonna do it. By do it I mean even sign a contract that they completely intend to break. Get it?

IT IS GOD DAMN ASININE TO ACT LIKE THEY WOULD EVEN PUT THE PRETENSE OUT THERE!

THEY DO NOT DO IT! YOU'VE SAID THEY DO...SHOW ME WHERE THE HELL IT'S DONE THAT A PAC 10 TEAM SIGNS AN AGREEMENT TO PLAY AT AN FCS SCHOOL!!

MONTANA CAN ACTUALLY PUT SOME MONEY DOWN TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN...SOME MONEY...MORE THAN ANYBODY ELSE OUT THERE IN FACT IN THE FCS EXCEPT MAYBE A SWAC OR AN IVY ON A GOOD DAY...AND WE CAN NOT GET THAT DONE BUT NOW YOU THINK THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF SOME PRETENSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST SHOW ME ONE TIME THAT A PAC TEAM HAS EVEN SIGNED A CONTRACT TO THIS EFFECT!!!

you are batshit fucking crazy, i love ya for it, but just stop it with the malarky. :rock: :rock: :rock: :rock: :rock: :rock:

OK. I've long held the belief that SH enjoys this shit. But now I'm beginning to get the impression that Ursus is complicit.

...I could be a little slow. :mrgreen:

Up until a couple years ago, it was a huge deal for a Pac-10 team to even go to play in Boise, so obviously not even WSU is going to go play an FCS on the road. And that's Boise State. I don't even think most Pac-10 schools would even go to Reno, or Fresno.

EWU did host Idaho a couple times after they moved to I-A, but obviously they were still in the old Big West back then. I think Montana hosted them a couple times before the WAC put it into their rules than members can't go on the road against FCS.

So that got me to thinking a little. What if WSU and EWU agreed to play their 2012 in Joe Albi in Spokane? Would both schools be able to count this as a home game? This is the only sort of scenario I could think of in which an FCS school "hosted" a Pac-10 school. And this is probably only due to proximity. Obviously, the game wouldn't be on campus so this would probably be considered a neutral venue.

The Nebraska Cornpackers are in fact, going to play Wyoming in Laramie this fall.

Wyoming has agreed to provide their ass for kicking something like three times in Lincoln to make this happen, but big red is in fact coming to Laramie. :?

I could see them beating Washington St but Washington is improving. Still an outside shot at an upset.
