The Washington State Supreme Court issued a temporary stay of Tuesday's preliminary injunction that was set to grant control of the Pac-12 board of directors to Oregon State and Washington State on Monday. Maybe this will give the Beavers a little extra motivation when they play Saturday!
in order to dissolve the MWC it would take 9 votes. Meaning at least 9 of the teams would need to have guarantees of being invited into the re-formatted PAC. So, for scheduling, it would probably need to be 10 teams taken making a new Pac-12 I'm not sure which two would be left out. But the MWC has, 3 or 4 times since all this started, issued statements of solidarity; and the MWC commisioner has said no teams would be left behind. Of course, we've seen how that can go after everything the Pac-2 have said about loyalty and solidarity it would be pretty wild if those two schools tried to break up the MWC and leave some of the teams in limbo. Probably just be simpler and be better PR to take all 12 teams and make a Pac-14. Looking at the teams, if they wanted 2 divisions there's a fairly easy separation into Pacific and Mountain divisions. Might be simpler with no divisions though
I've a close Duck friend who has a son at OSU. They bought tickets to this game for 75$ each and now could sell them for $500, which is big money for their family as he's a teacher. The son was offered the choice of a Skiing weekend over Christmas for the family or keeping the tickets... they're going to the game. STOMP
I think the Beavers will get rolled. Id love to see the Beavers mess the national rankings up and win out. GO BEAVS! Gonna be as good as it’s gotten for a long time here for OSU football.
Was watching the Michigan vs Maryland game. I hate feeling like a few bad calls would possibly have made a difference in the game. Seems college football got its big game next week. Michigan will not beat the Buckeyes.
That depends if Oregon State wins out and wins the Pac-12 championship game. the Pac-12 championship allows a team to outright win the conference, and Oregon State hasn't done that since 1941 (if Wikipedia is correct). Also, it's the last year of existence of the Pac-12 as we know it. Oregon State would win the last conference title.
Supposedly Chip Kelly will be fired . But if UCLA beats USC at the Coliseum, shouldn't Lincoln Riley be the one who is fired? UCLA could end up with the same conference record as USC (5-4) with the tiebreaker.
Interesting that the eleventh ranked Beavs are 1 point favorites over the fifth ranked Huskies. Beavs would be doing the Ducks a big favor handing the Huskies their first loss and it would set up an epic game in what used to be called the Civil War.
