    Not sure where I said you couldn't. I've hunted since I was 12. We were talking about more known conservative areas.

    The Beavs are 1.5 point underdogs vs App State this weekend. Wow. That's embarrassing. We suck.
    and it sucks the game is only on ESPN+

    When your 0-5 can't get too picky, I'll happily take any win regardless of the competition.

    if you look at viewership numbers from this season, when OSU/WSU are playing other MWC teams (or Cal), they were drawing 500-650K viewers. When they played P4 teams like Oregon, Washington, Houston, a million more viewers showed up. I'd agree with you that is those two schools had joined the Big-12 they would have probably been middle of the pack in viewership....depending on time slot and how good the teams were

    https://www.sportsmediawatch.com/college-football-tv-ratings/

    I'd also agree that OSU/WSU have perception problems. They are located in smaller cities/towns a long ways from major airports and a real long ways from the rest of the Big-12 teams. If they had joined the Big-12 they would have had the two smallest stadiums in the conference. OSU had a 45,000 capacity stadium, spent 160M renovating and ended up with a 35,000 capacity. That's not the direction they needed to go to impress a conference

    something else that's probably tin-foil hat: if OSU/WSU had joined the Big-12 thru the pro-rata clause, media would have been paying 60M a year for the two programs. Being members of the Pac-12, media gets the two for 15-20M/year. Yeah, its different media (ESPN involved in both), so it probably wasn't a thing but I'm pretty cynical about media and collusion

    if the actual media deal is still in development I'd guess that OSU's 0-5 start is hurting the Pac-12 leverage

    The Beavs should have won two of their games, but they keep beating themselves. When it's not the players, it's the coaches. In the 70s, when they along with UO were arguably the worst D1 programs in the country, at least they had decent coaches and discipline, they were just out matched. Now, yeah they're short on talent compared to top 20 programs, but the way they keep kicking their own asses is unprecedented in my years of watching them play. It's abysmal.

    I’ll take Beavs +1.5 in this one. Brat is fighting for his coaching career
