THE PAC 12 THREAD v.5

[TheDayMan]

How much of that is truly how they feel, and how much of that is similar to coach speak where you never undermine your players (employee in this case) in public? You aren't going to get a candid response from the schools. It's in their vested interest to blow smoke up his ass and act like everything is going exactly to plan. Undermining him would only make him less effective in negotiations and make things worse.

But yes, their long term strategy is to leverage these untapped foreign markets and grow their brand until they have the muscle to push Direct TV and other media outlets in this country back to the table.

So, basically we are screwed for the short term and have little hope of catching up with the other conferences in the long term, short of conference realignment.

Ninjad.

Hmmmm. Deontay has more receptions, more yards, and more TDs and has come up clutch with games on the line. Is there some other stat we can gauge WRs with?

QB play...

Manny is nothing like D'arnold. If you watch the ASU games, you will see that Manny throws the ball up for grabs and more often than not N'Keal comes down with the catch, despite having 2 guys draped all over him.

Just watched some of his highlights. He's a great receiver. Classic #1. Deontay is more of the slot type.

He's big and physical from what I see. Let's hope he's the talents not wasted

 

[WizardHawk]

Well, what are the gonna say though?

Yeah, I made that point to wazzy. They have to sound happy and confident in their guy and what their overall plan is, as well as how successful they are (or aren't) at reaching those goals.

$8m per team difference in return from their networks. That money isn't being felt as much by UW, USC, Stanford. Teams like both zona schools, beavs, and any other team struggling sure does feel that. They could go pay better with that money and attract more of the guys going to the B1G and SEC with matching money at least.

 

[Olyduck]

I truly don't get the foreign market aspect. It makes sense for professional sports who are trying to gain popularity to put games or in some cases the potential for a franchise there. The Pac 12 isn't going to add another college, aren't going to be doing any more than maybe one game one of the markets. I just don't get it I guess, if the NFL isn't betting their money on those markets then why would a collegiate conference when their is no loyalty to a school and since kids are at a school for at most 4 years it seems like a massively flawed business model.

To me, the better opportunity if they partner with a Hulu, Netflix or Amazon with their streaming since they are always looking for content, made Disney quite a bit of money too.

Disney is supposed to be starting their own streaming service. I wonder if that will include sports

 

[Olyduck]

The top receiver in the conference right now actually is a running back.

why not there have been times the leading rusher in a conference was QB

In the PAC?

 

[SUBuddha]

I am simply amazed that Bryce Love has 787 yards in 4 games with the way the Stanford line has been playing.

Well, only one of the four has a run defense and there have been questions about Stanford's passing game leaving them prone to being run heavy. Still tough to get that many yards, but I'd fully expect a run heavy set of stats for Stanford this whole season. It's what they do. I mean how can you question what the line is doing in the first place? They obviously still dominate in run blocking.

I'll be curious to see how many total team rushing yards they get in a couple of weeks on the road at Utah. Break 180y as a team in that game and I'll buy into it. I mean even they have already had a bad day of run stopping allowing Zona to go over 200y.

Ya, not totally sure. I know they made the announcement about starting their own streaming app since Netflix paid them to use their content and stats say kids got hooked on the Disney movies but also shows. No idea, just a thought of hooking up with a streaming site, then lazy east coast guys can't complain about it too late when they can watch games the next day.

 

[Olyduck]

In the PAC?

After week 4 maybe but I don't know where one would find those numbers.
end of season no

[trojanfan12]

Not the second quarter though. Of course.

Adjustments en sech.

Yeah, most teams strive to be a 4th quarter team.

But not those trendsetters in Oregon. They're a 2nd quarter team.

 

[WABLTY]

N'Keal is probably the most talented WR in the history of the program.

Most talented in recent memory, sure. John Jefferson would have something to say about the history of the program.

 

[AlaskaGuy]

OREGON STATE DIDN'T LOSE YESTERDAY AND THAT'S A FACT!

Pac-12 Week 5 game picks: USC will survive in Pullman

[WizardHawk]

3. Washington State (4-0, 1-0): It’s a bummer that the Cougars’ game against USC this week is on Friday, because had it been scheduled for Saturday, Ol’ Crimson surely would have been coming home.

There has been so much crying this week from coug fans around town about this. As if they'd intentionally go to the Palouse instead of Blacksburg as it is. It wasn't going to happen if it was on Saturday.
