  1. If admins at USC valued that, they were short sighted at best. What made them think Oregon was just going to sit on their hands?
  2. Did Cal rape your corn hole or something? You seem pretty hostile towards the place
  3. I can see that. However, that applies to probably half (if not more) of the schools in P5. I would also think that when you are competing with NFL teams, it's a tough road. i.e. the 49ers/Raiders/Cowboys are all in the same city or right down the road from those 3 schools you listed. I would venture to guess that most of the huge-fanbase college programs don't have to compete with NFL teams for fans.
  4. 12 or 16 oz bottling? Or perhaps 40oz for the homies
  5. I have a feeling that I'm going to be saying that a lot for away games starting next year..
  6. regardless of school size, a huge component of sports are rivalries and the big 16 or whatever the fuck its going to call itself will have them left and right. ok lite vs. tech ku vs. ksu isu vs. co will rekindle utah vs. byu asu vs. ua bu vs isu has become rather chirpy the past 5 years I don't think WVU has a rival due to their geographic position and formerly being in the big east. who else is going to the big 12? Cincy? I don't know who their rivals are. then cougar high. maybe they had rivals from the old swc days and those may start up, but who knows. That was a long time ago and the kids playing now probably never even heard of the swc.
  7. Never heard of saline used that way. When you add a "t' though, it changes everything.
  8. I'm going to guess that the majority of people out west don't give a shit about college football. Naturally there are diehards and what not. But they just don't have the masses of people that have nothing else better to do with their time than watching a bunch of 19 year olds running into each other.
  9. You can say a lot of things on here, just don't tell someone they are something that rhymes with maggot. I got a warning for that one.
  10. Who, ASU? Most of ASU's degrees are the equivalent of a high school diploma.
  11. There are different ways to interpret your opinions
  12. The entire CFB system is kind of fucked in a decentralized way if you think about it. The NFL is one business that can set the same rules and fair schedules for everyone, divide revenue between the teams and set up a real playoff. CFB is currently 65 different businesses in the P5 ( soon to be P4), each having their own direction. It would be so much better if there was one entity that could balance everything such as schedules, travel etc. Take 48-60 teams, create 4 divisions by region and you only play in your region. Regional divisions would drastically cut down on travel costs. Then add a real playoff setup and none of this invitation bullshit, or bs pansy ass powder puff OOC scheduling and lets-play-a-high-school-team-in-November crap. It would be ironic if in the future a mega conference(s) eventually broke up into regional pods that was similar in what I am describing above.
  13. My guess is that it wasn't laughing, but more towards crying, despair, anger.
  14. Revenue is about growth and dropping markets is the opposite of that. If you cut out 16 markets (48 down to 32) you will lose revenue and income. The money just doesn't transfer from the old 'accounts' to existing accounts. The sales are lost.
  15. I'm a big fan of the beavers. I love 'em.
  16. you can fuck in a tree but never fuck a tree.
  17. I think it has more to do with demographics. The PAC has been lagging for years and its because there are not as many people out west vs. the eastern half of the US and the ones out west don't watch football like they do in the eastern part of the US. So less population, less viewership = no more PAC.
  18. I'm convinced it is Big 10 media / sources that are pushing out the narrative that the Big 12 killed the PAC 12 and the PAC 12 was a dead man walking etc. The reality is, the Big 10 poached and killed the PAC 12.
  19. I cannot remember. Was it UNC that had an academic scandal that goes back 15-20 years? Something about tests and papers not being taken and written by the students whose names were on it?
  20. Should I be drunk or stoned when reading this?
  21. I wish I could find some data out there that shows what each football program pulls as far as TV ratings and dollars go. I would guess that UA is way down on the list in football. Their basketball is decent and maybe that is a long term play for the Big 12. I don't see the value in UA though.
  22. The Big 12 will have 16 teams soon. Remaining doesn't seem like the correct fit.
