I have been back on forth on going to the Washington Game on the October 25th. Anyone have any insight on the likely game time?

Oregon is also hosting that weekend vs. Wisconsin, and there is no Notre Dame game. Fox has the World Series. Maybe CBS 3:30 ET or another NBC night game?

If you have the means by all means go regardless of time. UW is one of best, most picturesque stadiums in the country and Seattle is a great city to spend a weekend in. I would wager on a 12:30pm local game, with ~4pm local a possibility as well. If Illinois wins this week and UW keeps winning, all bets are off

And I’ll be there. ;)

For folks who have been to UW before - does anyone have sailgating recommendations? Seems like there are only a couple options open to the public/people who dont know someone with a boat out there.

FWIW, these are the Big Ten games that weekend. I would normally list some Big XII ones in the event they get Big Noon Kickoff, but BNK officially avoids West Coast teams playing home games at 9:00 am local time ... so we can cross that off the list!

#17 Illinois at Washington
Wisconsin at #3 Oregon
#15 Michigan at Michigan State
Minnesota at Iowa
UCLA at #7 Indiana
Northwestern at Nebraska
Rutgers at Purdue

It's certainly not one of the stronger lineups the conference has had. If I had to totally guess, I actually think FOX might pick a Big XII game for Big Noon Kickoff this weekend (e.g., BYU/Iowa State, Kansas/KSU, Colorado/Utah, etc.), so that would lead to a little more competition for the CBS/NBC spots. I feel fairly confident that the bottom three Big Ten games on that list will be on BTN/FS1. Some will depend on how both of our teams play until then, but I would say as long as (A) we don't replicate our Indiana performance vs. OSU and (B) Washington at least beats Rutgers at home, even if they lose to Michigan, we stand an excellent chance of getting the CBS or NBC game, especially with MSU and Wisconsin being down this year.

If you’re going, plan to bring rain gear or risk getting wet. I hope there are more people than there were at Oregon. See y’all there!!

The UI event looks like it leaves from a different point that this one. This one leaves from Kirkland, and the UI event leaves from north of downtown Seattle. I was too late to sign up for the UI boat, but plan to be at the game. The 1 train stops right on campus too, so it's an easy trip from downtown (or so it looks on a map).
