    Please point to the spot on the doll where Texas Tech touched you.

    He's got to be a Yute. They are the only ones I see this vitriolic towards BYU.

    Get out of here with that bullshit. Take it to the Cloak Room. Why? Because we only want to talk football and not get dragged down into your political bullshit?

    Wow....it was one year ago today that the conference was authorized by its Board to begin negotiations for its next media rights deal. What an utter shitshow the past year has been.

    Maybe the worst thing the UA and CU presidents could have said is that they won't consider leaving until after they see the deal. Kilavkoff is taking them at their word on that. If it is true that they won't be presented the specifics of the deal for another month and it won't be ready to be signed until Labor Day, and if it's also true that a school has to give notice to leave by the end of July, then that means they either have to make the decision to jump without seeing the deal, or roll the dice and stay without knowing what their TV/GOR future will hold. I just can't see UA and CU being content with that situation.

    George Kliavkoff really is playing the Costanza "she can't break up with me if she can't find me" card (see meme earlier in this thread). What I can't believe is how patient the Pac10 schools are being about this. He's basically stringing them along to a point where they wouldn't be able to leave due to contractural timing, in an odd way just like what he did to SDSU but in reverse.

    That would seem to go against the way Apple does things. They are smart and calculating. I don’t see how PacNet could be viewed as a good idea within Apple. But what do I know? (Hint: Not a damn thing).

    I think it goes way beyond just targeted ads. When it was first announced, they were talking about how this data could be used by advanced analytic sites for gambling sites and the like? I admit I don't know much more than that, but it was interesting to hear all the ramifications that could result from a data deal like this.

    Oh man, Brett Yormark is a cold, calculating SOB. Release this on the same day after the reports the Pac 12 still doesn't have shit and have fucked it up so bad that SDSU had to grovel back to the MWC with hat in hand. I like the man's style.

    This is why Carol Burnet is before OSU-Cal. The hope is her show will boost the ratings for the game.

    Tonight on MeTV...it's the Carol Burnet Show, followed by Oregon State vs. Cal.

    Can someone translate for me what "significant linear concepts" means?

    Greg Flugaur knows less than anyone, and that's saying something. Dude is in a basement in Chicago or Minnesota or something and basically just reads whatever rumors are out there on Twitter and then does a podcast or tweet-cast or youtube or whatever about it. I guarantee you that if the PAC 12 presidents were presented with a deal today, he would be the last to know (like seriously, you all at Surly would know before he would). Jason, on the other hand, does seem to have at least a couple of solid connections within UA, so I'm not so quick to dismiss what he says. And if he is saying something that is opposite of the PATC guy, then Jason is the one who is right.

    Her and her senior staff at the President's House right now:

    It's all West Texas, bitches. Once you have Tech sitting firmly on the 101st meridian, there is no need for another University to occupy the space.

    That's the weird dichotomy with SMU. They have some serious, and I mean serious, money, power, and influence sitting on their Board and throughout their alumni ranks (and even non-alumni supporters). Yet, there just isn't the emotional fervor for their athletic teams. Only time I've seen Ford Stadium sold out is when Tech came to town...didn't even sell out with cross-town rival TCU. Basketball did enjoy some support when they were winning a ton of games a few years ago, but it pretty much died when Larry Brown left (under a cloud of scandal, of course). Their money and influence just does not translate to success in the revenue sports. But they build some amazing facilities for their non-revenue sports. Track, Soccer, LaCrosse, Tennis...some of the finest facilities you'll find.

    I'm really starting to think this is George Kilavkoff's strategery. And the fact that his name is George is no mere coincidence!

    If they stick with the PAC for a few more years in a really shitty TV deal holding out hope they will eventually get the BIG invite, that viewership might dry up faster than the recruiting money. It's not looking like there is any potential TV deal that would provide them the national exposure they would need to maintain current recruitment levels.

    You would think the Comcast fiasco would have taught them not to even consider going down this path. EDIT: Fucking Hurtlocker beat me to it by just a few seconds.

    Cal and Stanford grads.

    End of July or end of June?? Because I keep hearing the conference fiscal year is July 1 - June 30 (same as fed govt). But I don't know if that's actually true or not.
  24. Uncle Nate
    I heard either on a podcast or perhaps the Big12 Radio on Sirius that the PACX would want to have this deal done before PAC12 media days for football, which I guess should be somewhere around mid-to-late July?? The reason, according to the pundits having the conversation, would be that as a conference you want to showcase your brands, your teams, your coaches, and most importantly, your players. If there is no deal in place before then, it turns into a giant media circus where the only thing being asked about is the TV deal and whether or not the conference will stay intact in its current form (minus LA schools) or not. They said that is the absolute last thing the schools would want for their PACX media days event.

    Because we all know a coach would never say something untrue to a recruit.
