I pretty much agree. I learned long ago to analyze with math not emotion to get at solutions. The critical math will be regional TVs followed by interest level in a particular school as a modifier. It must be an interesting balance between the older generation that remembers the previous century of football vs folks 30s and under that only…[Read more]

Likely a long shot but possible if someone above both schools in the Cal system makes a decision best for Cali schools in general.

I was surprised that UCLA could go somewhere without Cal since they are managed together. Next, however Washington State and Oregon State likely fall very far if Washington and Oregon move on. At the end of the day, it seems hard to believe that the people at the top will allow one of their teams to advance at the expense of one of their other…[Read more]

It does not make sense for UCLA and USC to travel so far for Big 10 conference sports. It makes more sense, given that the two are leaving, that there is a likely Big 10 west division of some sorts. That would suggest that the Pac 12 and maybe the Big 12 will have schools fill in this division, with mostly Pac schools. You might expect the best…[Read more]

Possibly, the Cali schools are trying to get special benefits from the Pac. I am surprised that UCLA would separate from Stanford and Cal. If this was to happen, I expect the 6 best schools in the Big 12 would have the option to join the Pac which would be a better option then the planned Big 12 today. Nebraska has not met their Big 10 dreams…[Read more]

Grand Old Opry even if Country music is not your thing. Broadway for bars and music but get ready for crowds.

Drive to Fort Worth and go to the Stockyards. Restaurants and bars.

I expect to see Kuithe line up on the outside as well. He is a very good blocking TE so when he is outside the downfield blocking will be noted.

I expect the current group will be very competitive. Can’t blame a guy for going where playing time will come quicker.

Last year USC had a couple of very good QBs, several very good WRs, and a WR that was as good as any in the country in London. But football is complex and Utah found a way to beat USC even with those advantages. I like our balance of good offense and good defense and great culture.

The hype is fine. The conference needs a successful old blue blood school. If we did not want to play up hill against conference teams we could have stayed in the MWC. I would rather play against some of the best ranked teams, the more the better. I feel like our current relationship with the USC fanbase is as good as you could expect from any…[Read more]

USC already has a path to more money, win the conference championship and go to the playoffs. A new conference will not help them win games, it may make it harder. What USC needs and the fans want is to win the conference much more often. IF they did that they would see the playoffs more often than other Pac champs and all the problems are…[Read more]

The Pac will not get to the playoffs unless the highest ranked team wins the chanpionship with the best possible wins. That team needs to meet the best possible team in the CCG. I think the SEC can get away with a wins over 4 poor opponents, I just don’t think the Pac can. But I am also bias, I don’t like low quality opponents. I wish wins…[Read more]

I do like the divisions however, the first two years the highest ranked team did not go to the CCG which seems strange. This will improve the rank of the champion particuarly when there is an upset in the CCG. As it is two teams in the same division can have very different schedules. Divisions would be awesome if everyone played everyone. This…[Read more]

Goodness. I understand USC and Oregon simply have momentum that places them near the top year in year out but do first year coaches often run away with the conference lead? They both had most all the pieces last year but found it difficult. USC gets a better coach and that should improve them. Oregon may have had more pieces last year so…[Read more]

Will the OL be hurt by Luke Felix-Fualalo going into the portal? Is he on the current 2 deep roster?

This is very simple. The team votes on when and where to were whatever uniform option they have asked for. Myself, I am very good with whatever the team chooses. It would be more than silly for me to make their choice.

China and Russia do account for that percent of the skullduggery on the internet. I don’t know enough about the technology but I wish we could limit persistent connections or whatever it takes to run code on another computer to only countries that actively reduce bad actors to some low threshold. Those that do not should be reduced to email and…[Read more]
