Their greater issue in football could simply be lack of performance on the field, coupled with diminishing fan interest.  A lot of high level CA HS players are going elsewhere for obvious reasons.

Why play in front of 35,000 on a 9-4 team that could win the conference and nothing else?

You get used to it. Air conditioning is your friend, and I always say- it's A LOT easier to just wear shorts and a t-shirt and sandals than it is to wear 3 layers of clothes, snow shoes, a giant coat, hat, gloves, a scarf, another hat, another pair of gloves, and another scarf.

F#$K the cold. F##k the snow. F##k the ice. The north is literally a depressing shithole where the sky is literally grey and depressing 3/4ths of the year. Plus most places up there- there just isn't anything to do. Aside from like Chicago or New York there just isn't anything cool to do/see in that entire region.
And actually no it isn't when it was below freezing the clouds disappear leaving the heat escape and sun bouncing off the snow.We were getting more vitamin D in hi February than you get in the middle of summer.It was quite cheerful,cold but nothing like the hell below

I like the weather here, with a few days a year that are unpleasant.  The wife likes heat and we go to the pool daily in summer.  Today looks to be perfect, sunny and 70°F later.  Yesterday was perfect also.  Everyone should move here.

Well, almost everyone is doing that it seems.  The city of ATL was losing population rapidly until about 2000.  The metro is adding about 75,000 per year and now the city itself is adding about 10,000 per year, on a much smaller base of about half a mil.

According to the Atlanta Regional Commission, the city of Atlanta added 10,100 new residents in that same time period. The city has grown 9% since 2010, reversing decades of population decline.

I've been told here by more than one person that winning your conference and going to the RB is the pinnacle of the sport....

I see winning your conference as a big deal, not the pinnacle of course.  I do wonder if it would be better to win the NC as an at large or win the SEC and lose.

I guess the former.

But winning the SEC just means more of course.

i remember 2017 more fondly than i do 2018, though neither compare to 2015, and none of those to 2020. 2016 is same as 2018, and 2019 is just the worst possible season ever. rough few years :).

It would be nice if programs across the country would put a cap on facilities.  The facility wars gobble up a ton of money and there seems no end to it.  I'm not sure how you could put that out on a national basis, but it would be a good idea.  The rest of it is nonsense.

In 1994, I was still working of course, my kids were young, I think we had some nice vacations that year, I was starting to recover financially from the divorce.

Maybe it was 1995 before I was really on my feet again.  I had borrowed everything I could short of credit cards, and I was about to do that.  Then, I started getting child support payments.  ha.

I guess 94 was a better season for the PAC than 2021

really, if the P5 would lose the PAC it wouldn't bother me that much

if the Arizona programs wanted to Join the Big 12, that would work

if the Washington Programs and Oregon wanted to join the Mountain West or whatever they want to call it, OK

The PAC is more like the Ivy League than the MWC, no?  
At least the CA schools are.
