I will concede that watching the uw for these games is ok.

Looking at their schedule, they play in order: Indiana, USC, Penn State, UCLA and Oregon last. USC and UCLA are at home, the others are on the road.

Best case for them is one more win this season

I hope they are enjoying long travel, jet leg and early games.

I thought it wasn’t going to be an issue?

The real fun starts when they are paying for non-revenue sports to travel across the country and get their asses kicked twice.

Brilliant move half shares. 👏🏼👏🏼

My bad, thought they were in a row.

Well, they are the next 3 road games. Which should be even better.

They do get to play jet-lagged teams coming out west, too, to be fair. so that will help them get some home wins they might not otherwise get, like that Michigan victory over a team without a real QB. This insane travel bumps up the HFA both ways. Funniest part about that is that if you believe Husky fans, they already had one of the strongest home field advantages in the country with the purportedly loudest fans. This B1G travel then gives them even more of a HFA which, if UW was a legitimate power program, it wouldn't need. Then it has to travel 2,500 or 3,000 miles and lose games it thinks it shouldn't, like to Rutgers. This should net out negatively toward them over time and drag their conference record closer to .500, even with good teams, than their delusional fans will be happy with.

It wasn’t long ago I was telling the husky trolls here they were going to be in the Rutgers/Indiana tier of the B10. Turns out I was wrong. After Indiana kicks their ass it will be clear they are the tier below them.

Jet lag is worse going east, when you lose time. You gain hours heading west, so you get more time to relax, recover, and adjust.

I hear you on that, but in addition to long travel being rough regardless of the time, it has to suck feeling like it's a 10pm kickoff when it's still 7pm locally on night kickoffs, at least. But I'm all for this being as hard on UW, with as little in terms of corresponding positives, as possible.

I read an article in which UW and its fans are already whining about the jet leg, early start times and long travel. UW gave up common sense for more money and are now getting what they asked for.
