UW vs. Oregon cancellation possible...
- Thread starter 79COUG
- Start date
Reading a Seattle Times article this AM- if they have a problem bad enough to cancel this weekend's game, they may not clear quarantine in time for the championship game, if it is played as scheduled.
It's ALL still up in the air at this point.
Interesting. I didn't think about the possible ramifications on the championship game. However, they will have another mythical championship trophy to add to their collection!
The UW myth is always greater than the UW reality.
I didn't realize that, YTD, every game UW has played is against a team with a LOSING record. Now UO may be getting canceled? So they could make it to the CG despite not having played an opponent with more wins than losses?
By contrast, 2 of our 3 opponents had/have WINNING records, and SC in particular appears to be the class of the conference.
Are we better than UW? Not likely. But if you're Jimmy Lake, could you ask for a softer path in Year 1? Wow. Credit to UW bc they're making the most of their hand, but talk about falling ass-backwards into victory.

The silver lining may be my wish of Jimmy Lake getting a lifetime guaranteed contract may come to fruition after all!
Wouldn't that be a great gift for the Cougs and a lump of coal in the UW stocking???
Somehow, I'm not devastated. I am rooting for the Pac-12 to change the rules and make CU and USC the participants for the championship game.
