    I believe I read in couple places recently that there are about 45 million daily active Twitter accounts in tbe US. A large portion of those are probably bots so say only 10% of the population is actively engaged on Twitter. And 10% of the active users produce over 80% of all tweets. So yeah it is not real life or representative of the population at all. The fact that public policy and corporate decisions can be heavily influenced by Twitter mobs is sad.

          This is why UW should've signed to play a game a little further south where there just happens to be a TV truck available right now...

              You mean, this is why they didn't.
              Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

                Exactly. If you weigh playing on the road with our TV truck versus playing at home with a different TV truck, it's a pretty easy call.

                    Is there any chance of playing the Yewts in a bowl game this year? That’s suddenly a game I want really bad this season.

                      I think of Utah can get to .500 they will be eligible for a bowl. But who knows how many bowls will still be putting on a game by that point. The LV bowl is a no go.

                        I think they said all teams are bowl eligible this season. Even the winless ones.

                          ESPN supposedly guaranteed us a bowl if we didn't get a NY6. But I dont know if that was contingent on going undefeated.

                            PAC12 has a requirement of 50% for bowl eligibility.

                              No, it is contingent on being bowl eligible.
