Well, I did not actually attend the UW, but I am proud to root for them.  
As far as having experience dealing with people like you, like I said I have spent most of my life in some of the deep blue areas of this country.   If you want fun, sometime, google 'US Rep. Jim McDermott'.    I lived in his district for a number of years.   I have learned to take people like you with a grain of salt.  Let you think you have won, when you really have not.
As far as motleycrew's idea, I think he (motley is a he, right?  So hard to tell online.) was fantasying and having a little bit of fun.  As far as the meet up is concerned, had not given it much thought  before motleycrew brought it up.   Might be kind of interesting seeing who I am sparring with.
