Why do I feel that the masses aren't jacked, as much as they have in the past? I know it's early, and the hype hasn't really started, but why do I feel that for some reason, people don't care as much as they used to?
If you live in the Seattle area, you'll notice in the past three years, our corporate job centers, (Amazon, Boeing, Microsoft) have brought in thousands of employees from out of state. BTW, we actually lead the nation in jobs. Do the new folks to our area care? No. It's a different world now. The perception of our in state rival to me, isn't as big as it was just a couple of years ago. Maybe I'm wrong?
You always hear that Oregon and Oregon State are also northwest rivals. Twenty years ago, there was no such talk. The UW rival is Washington State, not Oregon.
I suppose if we were 8-3, instead of 3-8, the hype and and noise would be there. It just seems different this year? Any why does UW play 13 games this year, and we have 12? Anyone?
