THE PAC 12 THREAD v.5

[socaljim242]

Someone get our AD on the horn and have her schedule Mercer ASAP. If so many SEC teams are playing that powerhouse it must be legit.

Crazy fact is that Alabama has played Chatanooga 3 times since 2009 and Georgia only once. How many times Has Washington played Colorado and Utah since they came into the PAC? And they are both in the south.

Play one higher profile OOC opponent . In a neutral site season opener. That they have the entire off season to prep for. Add two more cupcakes. Bye week before LSU. FCS team used as a bye week before their other rival Auburn. Rinse repeat... It's all schedule manipulation and smoke and mirrors. That gives the illusion of a strong schedule and conference in the end.

Alabama is good not a product of scheduling but the rest of that conference lives off that reputation. Playing every OCC at home and maybe an opener at a neutral site where if you happen to lose you have the whole season to make it up.

I totally forgot to bring that up. Of course those were plants but I was laughing. Just out of curiosity, how many $C students even made that trip on a Friday, let alone students who came and had a Jets jersey made up.

They must have shown them two or three times during the game easy. About all you could do was laugh. Not sure why our PAC advocate didn't help us out. And get them to boost attendance for the Oregon State game.

YOU WATCH YOUR MOUF WHORE!

Any of the Oregon fans interested in an AVI bet this week. Stanford is starting Chryst (who is OK but not as good as his backup) and missing two key defensive starters for the first half. That 11 point line seems suspect.

Apple Cup May Be the Biggest Game of the Year for Pac-12

Yes. But the real question is. "Will we be worthy enough for ESPN to show it?"

 

[CorpRebel]

Yes. But the real question is. "Will we be worthy enough for ESPN to show it?"

Of course you'll be 'worthy enough'... Maybe they'll make it a late, late night game time just for you guys

ESPN loves all us Pac12 teams...

 

[DHoey]

but doesn't that ignore auburn playing Clemson and Alabama playing Florida State?

Nope. 3 OOC cupcakes are 3 cupcakes no matter how you spin it.

I think after watching that true frosh in his first game a few might be gun shy.

Doesn't Fox own the rights to the AC?

Even Alabama I can't give a load of credit, I'll give credit to LSU and Tennessee and that's about it. Alabama gets paid a boat load just to play any team with a pulse in OOC at a "neutral site". If they didn't get their big sponsorship payday no chance they would've played USC or FSU.

Alabama is definitely the class of the SEC but the main thing that bugs me about the conference is they are just like every conference, 1 or 2 teams have a legit shot at winning the conference but they have a few scrub teams that win a few games and they claim those teams are gods team. Look how much cred Cal got for beating a shitty Ole Miss team. Cal won, so Ole Miss sucked, not Cal is good, but had Ole Miss won ESPN would've counted Ole Miss as a great SEC school even when they shat the bed in the SEC because they beat a shit Pac 12 school.

Sounds like we don't have to ask Herbstreits permission to have it shown. How very fortunate of us up here in South Alaska.

I'm not sure but I just recall it being on Fox for a few years.

I'm not sure but I just recall it being on Fox for a few years.

FOX Sports Northwest channel used to host late night PAC games in the 90's along with even later Hawaii games.

Looks like leach went the other way with it. "I'd be up until 3 watching my game of thrones box set and ppaying world of warcraft anyway, might as well play a football game instead." Is probably what he's thinking.
