The PAC12 THREAD v.2

[mrwallace2ku]

So much hate toward the dawgs for things your own teams had in their control in the first place. Just stop losing to us and there is no reason to hate.

Seriously, if my understanding is correct the winner of today's baseball game takes over first place in the Pac and has the advantage going into the final games to win the conference? You know I don't follow it so maybe that's wrong, but if that's the case I know how important baseball is to you so for your sake I hope your team wins. Since it means nothing to us it might as well go your way so you can enjoy it. Good luck in the home stretch.

Thought ya might wanna know Whiz...

OSU’s magic number is one; any combination of an OSU win or a Washington loss in those series will give the Beavers their fourth Pac-12 title since the 1999 reunification. They also won in 2005, 2006 and 2013.



[/QUOTE]The Beavers scored the only runs of the game in the fourth. Dylan Davis, Gabe Clark and Logan Ice singled with one out to load the bases for Jerad Casper, who walked on a 3-2 count to force in the first run. Caleb Hamilton then blooped a single into short left field – after a 30-minute rain delay - to score Clark and Ice, giving the Beavers a 3-0 edge.

All six of OSU’s runs in the series were driven in by Washington natives. Trever Morrison (Bothell) had two RBIs in Friday’s 4-2 loss; Ice (Puyallup) had the only RBI in Saturday’s 1-0 win and Hamilton (Woodinville) and Casper (Maple Valley) had Sunday’s RBIs.

At least the GOOD natives up norte know where to go play come CB season.

Good for you Wallace. You know I don't give a fuck about baseball. I actually put it behind softball and ladies volleyball on my list of college sports.

I will say this though, if your starting SS is any good the M's are in fucking desperate shape for one. Can't believe their starting SS is batting .154 and still is starting every day. Calling it an embarrassment is an understatement.

Hooked up with a girl on the UW volleyball team, the chick was taller than me in heels. I'm a big fan of theirs.

 

[WizardHawk]

I think for me it's something like:
FOOTBALL

M Basketball
L Volleyball
Softball

and everything else is maybe in some order, but very much irrelevant anyway. Maybe baseball would be next?

 

[seahawksfan234]

I honestly don't follow any of the UW sports outside of football and men's basketball.

Probably should have left out the part about you in heels.

M's are on their own here Whiz...may be time for a trade or raid your farm system or sumptin...Casey won't be able to help here.

GL with L Volley and softball tho...the Huskies men's baseball team is a goodie up there tho. Should be fun to watch em work their way thru the regionals coming up.

9 showing lots of optimism for Coach Petersen with it being his first year on the job. I'll take it.

 

[RegentDenali]

Sophomore WR John Ross ran an avg 4.29 / 40 during his two attempts at the UW combine event today.

Lord have mercy. Wow.

 

[WizardHawk]

9 showing lots of optimism for Coach Petersen with it being his first year on the job. I'll take it.

6 of those wins should be rather easy. Making 9 shouldn't be considered that big given 13 total and all 4 OOC being jokes.

Pac-12 presidents back new NCAA model

Pac-12 university presidents have sent a letter to their colleagues at the other four major football conferences calling for sweeping changes to the NCAA model and autonomy for those leagues.

A copy of the letter was obtained by The Associated Press on Tuesday night. It was sent last week to the other 53 university presidents from the Southeastern Conference, Big Ten, Big 12 and Atlantic Coast Conference.

Spurred in part by Northwestern football players' move to unionize, the Pac-12 presidents outlined a 10-point plan for reform that includes many proposals commissioners have been advocating for several years, including a stipend for athletes. The NCAA is working on a new governance structure that will allow the five wealthiest conferences to make some rules without the support of smaller Division I schools.

The full list of proposals included in the letter are:

— Permit institutions to make scholarship awards up to the full cost of attendance.

— Provide reasonable ongoing medical or insurance assistance for student-athletes who suffer an incapacitating injury in competition or practice. Continue efforts to reduce the incidence of disabling injury.

— Guarantee scholarships for enough time to complete a bachelor's degree, provided that the student remains in good academic standing.

— Decrease the demands placed on the athlete in-season, correspondingly increase the time available for studies and campus life, by preventing the abuse of organized "voluntary" practices to circumvent the limit of 20 hours per week and more realistically assess the time away from campus and other commitments during the season.

— Similarly decrease time demands out of season by reducing out-of-season competition and practices, and by considering shorter seasons in specific sports.

— Further strengthen the Academic Progress Rate requirements for postseason play.

— Address the "one and done" phenomenon in men's basketball. If the NBA its Players Association are unable to agree to raising the age limit for players, consider restoring the freshman ineligibility rule in men's basketball.

— Provide student-athletes a meaningful role in governance at the conference and NCAA levels.

— Adjust existing restrictions so that student-athletes preparing for the next stage of their careers are not unnecessarily deprived of the advice and counsel of agents and other competent professionals, but without professionalizing intercollegiate athletics.

— Liberalize the current rules limiting the ability of student-athletes to transfer between institutions.

Pac-12 presidents are asking for a response to the proposed reforms by June 4.

[outofyourmind]

sounds more than reasonable.
I especially like the basketball rule


oh, and fuck the NBA.

 

[Wild Turkey]

Did they take the ACC to task for sticking with an 8 conference game schedule?

— Permit institutions to make scholarship awards up to the full cost of attendance.

Fine with.

— Provide reasonable ongoing medical or insurance assistance for student-athletes who suffer an incapacitating injury in competition or practice. Continue efforts to reduce the incidence of disabling injury.

Good

— Guarantee scholarships for enough time to complete a bachelor's degree, provided that the student remains in good academic standing.

Against, they should be able to remove them from the team and let them finish their education no matter what though. It's already possible to give them a 4 years scholarship however.

— Decrease the demands placed on the athlete in-season, correspondingly increase the time available for studies and campus life, by preventing the abuse of organized "voluntary" practices to circumvent the limit of 20 hours per week and more realistically assess the time away from campus and other commitments during the season.

Against. If they want easier times, then go to a football program with easier schools. They already do so much stuff with these kinds of things it's a bit crazy already.

— Similarly decrease time demands out of season by reducing out-of-season competition and practices, and by considering shorter seasons in specific sports.

Against, see above.

— Further strengthen the Academic Progress Rate requirements for postseason play.

Fine with this, although I'm not sure what's wrong with the current APR things.

— Address the "one and done" phenomenon in men's basketball. If the NBA its Players Association are unable to agree to raising the age limit for players, consider restoring the freshman ineligibility rule in men's basketball.

Completely clueless on this to be honest.

— Provide student-athletes a meaningful role in governance at the conference and NCAA levels.

A student council? REALLY?

— Adjust existing restrictions so that student-athletes preparing for the next stage of their careers are not unnecessarily deprived of the advice and counsel of agents and other competent professionals, but without professionalizing intercollegiate athletics.

Good. Didn't seem to get much positive feedback around here though.

— Liberalize the current rules limiting the ability of student-athletes to transfer between institutions.

Fine with this. Too much power is given to schools with transfers and the rules are funky at times. Should be a cut off date, like before spring practice where the 1 year rule should be waved at least.

 

[WizardHawk]

None of this can get accepted. I mean we have been told that every advancement in the history of college football specifically has come from the SEC.

The one and done rule proposal is ignorant.

The NBA has to make the change or the best players will circumvent the NCAA to make it in.
