PAC 12 Thread v6.0

Please dont come back with AVi of some dude in his undies.

If UW wins, I promise there will be no man ass involved. If Stanford wins, hopefully he'll take it upon himself to update that thing first thing Saturday.

If he's not, UCLA has just said fuck it and doesn't care anymore.

I would never shit on the Rose Bowl. I'm not saying playoff or bust, I'm just saying out of the big bowls, the Fiesta has always felt like its prestige is forced, while the others have significant history. When I think of the Fiesta Bowl I think of Boise beating Oklahoma, and that's about it.

I guess that is fair, but I'd prefer to go to the Fiesta Bowl long before ever stepping foot in the shit holes that are the Sugar and Orange Bowl.

Far more interested in who you match up against than which corporate logo is at midfield.

Win your games.

As many as you can.

Go out with a bang at the end.

Roundtable: Who benefitted the most from Ohio State and Penn State's losses?

Washington is suddenly back in the mix. The Pac-12’s CFP hopes rest on the Huskies, who still need a lot of help to make the final four. But a week after it seemed like Washington was out of it already, the Huskies have some slim hopes.

Consider this: Miami could end up with two losses if it loses to Notre Dame and Clemson. And if Oklahoma and TCU meet twice and split the series, they each have two losses. If Wisconsin loses in the Big Ten title game and Stanford beats Notre Dame in the final week of the regular season and Washington wins the Pac-12 …

… OK, you can see it’s still a longshot. But that’s a plausible scenario, even if it’s not likely to happen.

UCLA Josh Rosen yet to clear concussion protocol but will 'absolutely' play vs. Arizona State

Top defense in the country belongs to No. 9 Washington

We need to ditch the co-offensive coordinator crap.

This isn't little league, not everyone wins and gets a juicebox. Sorry if someones feelings or ego is hurt if they are not called Offensive coordinator.

Depends. If the co-Offensive Coordinators both know what they're doing and get along, it can work quite well. USC did that with Sark and Kiffin for a couple of seasons during the Pete Carroll era and it worked pretty well.

 

[socaljim242]

Whats up with UCLA recruiting? Do they know something we dont?

[trojanfan12]

Do you guys think Mora is on the hot seat?

If he's not, UCLA has just said fuck it and doesn't care anymore.

For UCLA, it depends on the size of his buyout. He could be "on the hot seat," but not able to be fired because his buyout is too big.

I'm surprised no one has hired Norm Chow for OC. He's sucked as a head coach but as OC he was money

More likely they know exactly what we know.

Dude's like 90 years old or some shit, he might just want to be done.

Wouldn't mind seeing Helton bring him in as a consultant to assist in Tee Martin's development. I think Tee is going to be really good, but having Chow around could speed that up.

Makes sense, didn't they give him some ridiculous deal to keep him out of Washington when sark left?

Not sure. I just know that, being a public school, they are limited as to what they can pay a coach in salary and what they can pay for a buyout.

Lol
UCLA Football: Jim Mora’s Contract Buyout Is Currently An Absurd $14.76 Million

I remember something about him getting a fat deal when his name was brought up to replace sark. Looks like they doubled down with the whole thing just last year.

It's definitely the buyout saving his job right now.

I knew his buyout was likely more than UCLA would be allowed to pay. But I had no idea it was that outrageous.
