re: 2012 Football Schedule?

Our out of conference schedule next year leaves something to be desired but it's pretty standard across the board with other major football programs. Our ooc this year was an exception to normal rather than what should be expected in the future. Most schools would never take the risks we did this year. Bama deserves credit for their ooc scheduling as does LSU. The only times in the future where we'll have 2 dangerous ooc games are in years where we already have 1 "major" ooc scheduled and then we add on one of the 1st game "classics" like the Oregon game this year. Most years will be like next year. 1 major conference opponent and 3 scrubs with at least 2 of those in most years being instate schools. Home games bring in the dough so they will continue in the future.

I also think a lot of people are severely shortchanging Washington next year. Sarkisian has had 3 full years of recruiting his players and they have some talent. It's at LSU so some of the fear is lowered but they're dangerous if we don't play well.
