I think most people on eGriz would agree with you. But UM is very much the "junior partner" in this deal. And after listening to "pundits" rag all morning on the UW OOC schedule, I think the Huskies -- for their own best interest -- need to dump the Griz and replace them with an FBS opponent. Even a non-power-five opponent would help (although a P-5 would obviously be best). Of course, having to "settle" for playing in the Rose Bowl may actually be a better deal financially for UW ... although probably not if they upset Alabama (2 TD underdog, last I saw). But aside from that, there's every indication that their margin for getting into the FBS playoff was razor thin. A better OOC schedule would surely help.BozAngelesGriz said:financial aspects aside, i feel like the Montana-UW game is good for the program and the school. even if we get rolled it puts us on the map in a place of regional importance for both athletic recruiting and potential students. we used to recruit pretty well in the Puget Sound area.
