Rutgers has landed in Seattle, where it'll adjust to the Pacific Time Zone ahead of Thursday's season opener against Washington State. 

Before we get to the links, an interesting tweet yesterday from an ESPN.com Pac-12 reporter: 

Moos said WSU wanted to play the game on Saturday, but Rutgers would only agree to the series if it was a weekday game.

Bonagura also said the game would have to be played at Seattle's CenturyLink Field, not at Washington State's Pullman campus.

Rutgers said it had no stipulations on the home-and-home series when it announced it more than a year ago. Clearly something's got to give.
