THE PAC 12 THREAD v.5

[WizardHawk]

Chill .lol. At least your team has a fighting chance.

I've literally said all year I don't expect to go to the playoffs. We are just talking theoretical stuff here. There is no easy road to get there having to beat WSU and whoever comes from the south. This is just about the broader discussion of the 'pac being down' this year and why it does or does not matter. Jackasses from the B1G and SEC always bang the same drum. It's what they do. Couldn't care less how little they respect the league we play in. And I only care about the broader media or committee view if somehow UW were to actually win the next 3.

Coulda won and close don't help the conference look better mike.

So you are saying, in Week 1 USC getting blown out by Alabama on a neutral field had the same look for the PAC as UCLA did @ Texas A&M pushing OT?

In terms of the overall conference perception? Sure. Most of these broad strokes kind of evaluations aren't based on stacks of real numbers. They are gut feelings. They stop short of deep digging into facts. The talking heads simply ask which top 25 teams any Pac school has beaten outside of their own conference. And it's a valid question. The manner in which any particular team lost to their quality OOC teams doesn't matter nearly as much as the simple lack of ANY real quality wins.

I found a link that worked for that story, the one you have for some reason won't open for me.

And in that one, I clicked the one to read up on Darren Carrington breaking the arm of some stranger on Halloween and this one has a video of him being all thug life dressed up as the joker.

What the absolute fuck is going on at Oregon? Are they actually recruiting directly from gangs now or what?

the 2 involving team mates may have been handled internally. a lot of times when 2 team mates have in fighting like that it never goes beyond extra sprints or stairs and no one really hears about it.

I'm sure it's the accumulation of events that makes that story, not the details of any one. At some point if your track record is that you are a dumbass that can't keep from going physical in altercations the punishment should ramp up beyond a set of stairs, otherwise what do you have for discipline at all? By the 3rd event you might want to sit them out at least a game to send a message to both that kid, and the rest of the team.

The ducks have had issues, just like a lot of teams, over the past several years with kids being pulled over with drugs, DUI, and general stupidity. You must manage that stuff well as a team and do enough to make the point clear.

I mean one of your WR's is out breaking the arm of random citizens and yelling loudly who he is while doing it. And yes, I saw that he hasn't started the last two games, but he still played and has stats in both so is that really punishment?

If you guys beat us and the South winner you guys are 99% in. The only thing that can really fudge it up is if Penn state ends up winning the B1G. If Wisconsin does then you guys should still be ahead of them as Wisconsin's only quality wins would be Penn State and LSU who had to fire Miles.

Welp it looks like the ducks bite the dust again this Saturday

I just hope this isn't the beginning of a long stint of shit like UW had:

The disturbing story behind the last great UW team — and how its legacy still casts a shadow on the Huskies

 

[WizardHawk]

Nice try at deflecting. I give it a solid 8.

Haven't seen any ASU fans this week at all. I'm sure they will all be here if they win today or at least make it close.

BAD DAY for the entire State of Arizona football Whiz, perhaps CBB will change things for them all.

@Not Neutral probably got lost in a parking lot somewhere.

Wally had a great point. It's CBB season and those are more CBB schools. Given their seasons I can't say as I blame them in moving on a bit early.
