Agreed. Bo walks down these unnecessary paths too frequently. What's the point? It's not a sincere question. He's not actually curious. He knows his it works. He'd be pissed if we were sent to Sacramento or Seattle to play Oregon just to avoid the Sunday matchup. Furthermore, you can flip his argument. We had an extra day to prepare for North Carolina. UNC didn't know who their opponent would be til late last night. I'm sure this won't be a popular opinion, but while I'm on the topic of irritating things about Bo... I know that the halftime interviews are awful. A complete waste of time. But deal with it. And try to treat the reporters with a modicum of respect. Please. No matter how stupid the question is. It makes you look petty and obnoxious. Having said that... I couldn't be more proud of the job the guy has done for this program. And from all appearances, he runs the program in a fashion that is above reproach. He brings in great kids, graduates them, and wins with them. 1st class program. Just try to refrain from being so condescending to the people who are just trying to do their job.

I don't think Bo is condescening, I'd say he just doesn't like talking to the media. He really is not much different than anyone else. He gives the same old cliches as the other coaches. Can you really think of a coach that gives good halftime interviews? I can't, except for when Craig Sager does the interviewing.

As far as his questioning of the dates & times next weekend, it is what it is. He isn't the first nor the last coach to ask about this or that. They all do it to some degree. Bo is a smart guy, he knows what he said and he has an agenda behind it.

As for Cowherd, this is what he does. He's not a journalist, he is a talk show host who talks about sports. His whole career is built on his schtick, and he does not deviate from it. If he ends up dead wrong he just ignores it and goes on another rant. Today it was a slow news day unless you wanted to rehash the Darren Sharper case. He's never been a big fan of UW's style in football or basketball either. (He loves the SEC, UK/UNC/etc bball, and USC/OSU/etc football. He's basically the ultimate bandwagon fan. He is the king if believing superior athletes guarantee victory.)

The only part that does matter in this is he does have somewhat of an audience and this feeds into the stereotypes about UW. Cowturd and other media hacks help contribute to the surprise that kids have when they visit UW. The only answer is to go out and win. Winning shuts everyone up cuz even haters respect winning.
