1. I thought UW was supposed to be bad this year? And they smoked Arizona on Saturday. Hmm . . .
2. In this already-shortened season, I'm not sure why people are clamoring for total shut-down. I'm in the opposite camp: if alternative games can be set up, go for it. Let the kids play and enjoy the competition. That is literally all that most teams are playing for - and it's not the worst thing to return to the fundamental motivation of the game (especially, as you have noted in separate questions, as there does not appear to be any particular risk of spread to playing). Just because WE can't enjoy the games like we normally would (i.e., by tailgating and attending, etc.), doesn't mean we have to make sure NO ONE enjoys the games.
3. BYU has already played 9 games, and they're undefeated. Color me impressed. Not sure why BYU would be balking at playing UW, unless they think there's a real risk of an L there.
