I mean the SEC taking Missouri and ATM was where this started. If the PAC had chosen to take Texas and Oklahoma when that’s what they were looking for the PAC would be the 14 team conference cherry picking 2 more team if they so desired.

Miserable.
Every single PAC road game had some appeal. 2 of the least appealing 2 of the 3 that are going with us.
I don’t like the culture fit at all. 4 texas teams ugh.
I’m happy with OSU KSU even ISU.
Not at all thrilled to go back to being in the same conference as BYU.

It won’t. This is a holding place until 2 24 team conferences emerge each having 2 12 team divisions.

I think what it’s going to take is someone who will put their foot in the ground about the time slots and actually compete with ESPN/Fox. It’s never going to work for an Amazon or Apple or any other streaming service if they give away the marquee games instead of lining them up at the exact same time as B1G and Sec and other conference games are…[Read more]

I don’t see why the Big12 would be better than than the PAC-X

“Losing” Colorado isn’t losing much. And if Arizona goes I’m not why the PAC would be sad to replace them with SDSU and SMU. It keeps the Phoenix area market adds back in SoCal and Dallas and loses Boulder and Tuscon. Yeah I just don’t see the loss there. It adds 2 bigger markets and…[Read more]

Losing Wazzu or OSU not so much. But Arizona is a blue chip in basketball. That’s worth a lot more than Colorado.

I don’t see why it would ever go away. I do think it will evolve to a more generic meaning and less about the exact individuals. At some point there won’t be a close connection to Jordan/Lowe but there will always be connections to the program that have been lost and honoring them is a noble tradition and at least while Whitt is around fits the…[Read more]

LOL.just lol.
There are only 15-20 programs really capable of competing for their conference title 4 years straight like Utah has. And before you say covid.
Not only does covid not count it actually is more a o feather in the cap of the coaches to be able to deal with it and navigate around it.

Defense. we were a star player in the box away. In general it felt like we needed more from the DL all year to me. Seemed like sacks were nonexistent in big situations.
Secondary. Year after year we give tons of big plays over the top but this year most of them were busts not beats. Not sure why that was. Poor communication probably.

What is capacity now anyway? It seems like we need 50k to hope to have a +/-.
And I was sort of surprised/sad to see that last years game was the lowest attendance since 2003 and Wazzu / Oklahoma.. but I know there have been renovations and stadiums are shrinking in seating capacity.

Cool stuff. It would be absolutely fascinating to compare to other programs with unusual intersection points.

Somewhere like Iowa, OK St. — long tenured coaches; existing P5 support
TCU — BCS buster parlayed into successful P5
Boise St. — BCS buster not invited to P5
BYU — for macabre humor.

It would also be interesting to know the delta…[Read more]

lol what?!?!?!

3. Alabama –poor Nick
8. Texas — wow I don’t understand this one.
9. KSU / 10. TCU Weird to see a team you beat 2x above you.

Utah. 8-1 is in the championship.
The nice thing about the ceiling is that it doesn’t matter style points or how many wins against who or what. So just win.
Assuming that version of things since UO and USC don’t play USC is the least likely rematch.
But the 1 hypothetical if someone knows..if the Ducks beat the Bruins and the Bruins beat USC and…[Read more]
