True story. I believe this officially knocks them out of bowl eligibility, sending them to 3-7. Sad start for Fick.

I've never really seen Luke Fickell as head coach material. For one thing, too nice a guy.

Vrabel is another matter.

Washington fans going ape shit on Twitter over FS1 showing a truck race with absolutely zero people in the stands instead of the game.

I’m inclined to agree with them, but still hilarious.

NASCAR has become a cruel joke.

There was another wreck in the race. Here comes another huge delay. The hysterics are fascinating to observe. Meltdown continues.

It is ridiculous though. Let's not move the end of the fucking pick up truck race - that says it all - to FS2. Instead, we'll move the football game involving a top 10 team to our lesser network. Brilliant programming.

I didn't realize truck racing was still a thing...

I've never been a fan of guys driving around in circles for 4 hours anyway, but doing it in pick up trucks is about as goober as it gets.

FS1 finally puts the game on after winning interview with the driver, goes instantly to commercial. LOL

But I agree, this network blows. I remember them having a brief blackout during our game as well. Crazy. I’m guessing there will be some hard discussions to have with the network execs after the screwups this year.

They made sure to show us Austin Lee Billy Bob smoking his tires - in slow motion, no less - before signing off.

Why was it ever a thing--excepting off road races like the Baja 1000 (and even then the VW Beetle class is the most entertaining. Just finishing is a major achievement).

Nice phone sex line ad there FS1

This #Pac12AfterDark stuff is great. All of it.

#9 on the verge of going down tonight.

Edit: On another note, if Stanford somehow loses this game it will rest firmly on the coaches’ shoulders. Should have called a timeout on the previous 3rd down when they could have made it a two possession game. Then on 2nd down in the red zone again, they go for a back shoulder fade in the end zone when you have a stud RB eating the defense alive.

Stupid play calling resulted in two field goals instead of 14 points.

Well, that pretty much seals the Huskies slim chances for the CFP.
