Huskies headed to Alamo?

So Arizona State pulls off a 30-29 upset of Arizona on their home field. The biggest contributing factor to the loss is two missed PAT's by the Wildcats. Arizona State moves to 6-6 and has an outside chance of going to a bowl game with an NCAA waiver. No guarantee that will happen since more than 70 teams already are qualified for the 70 open slots.
So what does Arizona's fourth loss in a row mean to Washington? Well nothing unless we knock the Cougars off Saturday in Pullman. If we do accomplish that we are a lock for the Alamo or Holiday with the Alamo doing the choosing.
Do you pick an Arizona team that has lost four in a row, or do you go with a Washington team that has a lesser record, and was smashed earlier this season by the Wildcats? According to the Alamo Bowl this morning they will pick Washington.
That could all change tomorrow if Oregon State upsets Oregon in the Civil War. That also could change on Sunday if Stanford isn't selected to participate in a BCS Bowl game.
Scenario 1 - UW beats WSU and UO beats OSU.
BCS Title Game - Oregon
*BCS Bowl - Stanford
Alamo - Washington or Stanford
Holiday - Arizona or Washington
Sun - Arizona or Washington
Scenario 2 - UW beats WSU and OSU beats UO
Rose - Oregon
*BCS Bowl - Stanford
Alamo - Stanford or Washington
Holiday - Arizona or Washington
Sun Bowl - Arizona, Washington, or Oregon State
Vegas - Arizona, Washington, or Oregon State
Scenario 3 - You don't want to know what scenario 3 is!
* Stanford is likely but not assured a spot in a BCS Bowl.

First and foremost, win the Apple Cup
After that, we can kibbitz about druthers. Mine is the Holiday, for both personal and recruiting reasons. But we need to win first and complete the trifecta, Beat the Cougs.
I like the Holiday best because we play a lower seeded Big 12 team. It is the closest venue to Seattle. Should pay off dividends as far as recruiting goes. My pal Prrbrr can drive to the game.
San Antonio would be a really cool road trip for Husky fans but you have to play a higher seeded team…wouldn’t be fun if that was Nebraska.
Like you say…we need to beat WSU.

johnb agree that was also another consideration.
I really want a super 3 day (2nd trifecta) week. Beat USC in basketball on wed, drive to our condo in San Diego that night, beat Missouri and Pinkel in the Holiday on thursday , then drive back to LA to play UCLA on friday at 1 pm. For Seattle guys, can fly home that evening. For me, a short drive back to our home in the desert.
But First, BEAT DEM KUUGS
Sounds like a dream weekend scenario!
Hmmm…Romar could actually take in the game.

Devils
That was a HUGE win for the Sun Devils last night. I just loved it! If that gets them into a bowl game, then good for them, and the PAC-10 too. It would be great to see the Beavers become eligable for a bowl game. The Ducks in the Rose Bowl, that seems just perfect to me.
As for where we might go bowling, I’ll be thrilled to go to CA or TX! They are both a lot sunnier and warmer than our Pacific NorthWet now. And just to be going bowling again….. I could hardly care less what bowl game we get invited to, nor where it is.
First and foremost, we go beyond simply beating WSU – our Dawgs need to thrash ’em & kill ’em! and then chew for while……. on some limp, lifeless kittens.
It is simply not possible to crush the Cougars too much. Just like Judas, they made the choices and moves to make themselves subject to eternal damnation, and infinite punishment.
Yep....Judas
Nice to see that Bugs is having an impact.
He will be out with articles #3 in the series later in the day.

Couldn't agree more ...
… about the value of smashing the Cougs. A win’s a win, but for me it would be satisfying to knock the snot out of them. I’d like to see some old school UW football.
I vote San Diego
but will go to San Antonio as well, we’ve never been there but we’re certainly willing to check it out.
A San Diego trip could work into our annual desert trip albeit earlier than we had originally planned. We had planned to go to San Diego anyway to visit old Navy friends so a bowl game down there would work out just fine.
San Antonio
It isn’t exactly close by but it is on my to-do list to see. I hear that the River-Walk is pretty cool. Sounds like a good place to spend a couple days.

River walk is pretty nice and you can see the Alamo too.
Great mexican food too everywhere. But mafter that, its like National Lampoons vacation. “Look kids, there’s Big Ben” (Alamo). San Antonio is nice, but its not San Diego.
But first: BEAT DA COOGS
anywhere but el paso
i would prefer san diego, but san anotnio is ok. doesn’t the alamo bowl have a higher payout?
Come to Texas!!!
I can drive up from Houston and see the game that way!
If you're a fan of basketball, watch a movie called Sonicsgate. It's free, just google it.
