probably depends on if Bo plays. Can't count on the Duck D to be anything but a sieve though. Lupoi should be on the hot seat
So you sit around in your mom’s basement just loading the DVR up with Gonzaga hoop and Carolina football games? Bruh?!?!
So far, Beavs and Ducks have taken care of business, while the Cougs did what they do and got themselves waxed by Fresno. UW playing today, and as much as I hate to do it, I will be rooting for them against Texas. #BackthePac
Seeing Texas as a 3.5-point favorite right now, despite their best defensive player opting out of the bowl game.
I'll never root for the huskies and rooting for USC/UCLA is difficult after the way they fucked over the Pac-12. I don't even consider them members of the conference any more of course, if Oregon gets an invite to the Big-10....
So USC falls as well. It was pretty fun watching Chip and UCLA lose. Wondering if the Utes can beat Penn State?
Is there a thread for the Pac-12 realignment that is going on? I tried to search but no luck. Pac-12 Reportedly Considering 2 Schools For Expansion I had already heard about San Diego State joining, but hadn't heard about SMU. That would be a pretty solid get... I just hope the new media deal makes it easier for me to watch games. Pac12 Network was somewhat bullshit.
might be the best option the Pac-12 has currently What is driving conference re-alignment is media. And what drives media is eyeballs. If you add up the populations of the metro areas for the current Pac-12 teams (minus LA) it's a shade under 26 million. Adding SDSU (San Diego 3.3M) and SMU (Dallas-Ft Worth 7.8M), increases the Pac-12 'area' by over 40% to around 37 million. That's a lot of extra eyeballs further, it gets the Pac-12 right back into southern California while also opening the opportunities in Texas. Both are major hotbeds for recruiting
Best thing to do is go back to the Pacific Coast Conference circa 1918 (you know, the good old days!). the 4 OR and WA schools, plus Cal and Stanford. Less is more. barfo
Despite (or perhaps because of) going to USC for grad school, I couldn't give less of a shit about the PAC 12. I did watch the Harold Miner Trojans beat Arizona in the old Sports Arena, but that's the extent of it.
Apple emerges as potential landing spot for Pac-12 football Well shit. They may as well have chosen to put it another 700 channel on Communistcast.
If Apple gets the Tier 1 rights, than just let it die now instead of a slow painful death. People on the left coast just don't care enough about football. They care enough to watch but not to donate and do what is really needed to be a winner. Besides, let's be honest, in 10 years the conferences like the P12, B12 and ACC will all be gone as power 5's.
Not really seeing a problem with the games being streamed on Apple....as long as they pay for it. I can see some possible advantages to what we have now. Do you think people on the East coast are watching the Pac-12 games when they start at 10 PM (or sometimes 11 PM) Do you think the fans like driving home at midnight from the games? Pac-12 football games at night fucking suck. And if the Pac-12 is the only college football conference on Apple, it will be promoted.....and we won't have to miss the start of the games when the earlier games go long......
What the hell is Apple? What access do people have to watch games on Apple? It doesn't matter how much Apple pays the PAC if the recruits you need aren't watching the games. We need as many games in front of as many eyes as possible. Can Apple do that? I seriously don't know. Please educate me on the pros and cons of Apple owning the rights to the games vis-a-vis the accessibility and ease of the widest possible audience viewing the games.
I think the problem is Apple TV has 25 million subscribers. Sure, more would likely subscribe to watch the Pac12, but that is not a lot of households the Pac12 is getting in to.
