In know it is a year away, but...

Why would a Pac-10 team, eager to prove that the SEC is not that good, back out of a home game against LSU?

if it was at LSU, some chance they would back out, but a home game, no way.

I do think they'll back out of the game in BR, but not the away game next year.

Why would they back out of a home game, especially when Washington has shown they are willing to play ridiculously hard schedules?

I live in Tacoma Wa. I'll be there watching the Tigers that arse. UW and the rest of the weak 10 suck.

Tigah fans take over Seattle ... it'll be like a bowl trip to open the year, can't wait!

Just like VaTech in 2002! (hope score willl be different )

had the National guard called on us!

No chance ... I'm ready to book the flight in September when those flights open up.

I didn't know you could book a year in advance. I will have to look into that.

[quote]i'd be more willing to bet they back out of the return trip{/quote]

I'll bet you $1000 that they don't.

Here's a funny scenario...it was mentioned a few weeks ago that the whispers around Seattle is that Mark Emmert has been talking of trying to get Nick Saban out to UW if Willingham is fired. How interesting would it be for LSU to play out there if this happened?

I'm actually one of the conspiracy theorists that think there is a solid chance (20-40%) that this will actually happen.

1. Saban and Emmert are best buds

2. Washington is a perfect for school for Saban to retire at ... West Coast, great tradition, yet fans have realistic expectations. It's a perfect school for Saban ... a place that needs to be rebuilt but a place where 9-3 every year is perfectly acceptable.

3. Ty will be fired after this year, and Bama will probably have another 7-6 season that begins to put A LOT of pressure on Saban in Bama and possibly makes it a very unhappy place for Saban (much like Miami).

Granted, if Washington goes bowling and/or Bama has a successful season, I doubt anything happens, but it's certainly something to watch for as the season progresses.

Man would that be fun next year for LSU to travel to Seattle to take on the former dictator.

No way is Willingham still the coach next year. I don't even think a low-tier bowl bid will save his arse. He needs like a Rose Bowl to not get run out of town on a rail.
