PAC 12 Offseason Thread

Kinda hard to keep that under wraps with at least 8 programs involved and instant media at our finger tips

A fan can be much better informed about stuff in general and still not know about some major conference shake up and just be guessing.

I agree it would be tough to keep such a thing under wraps.

I don't like starting a CFB game at 9 AM local at all.  Ratings wise, it runs right into any number of eastern conference games which will likely be of more interest BACK EAST.

Eh, if FOX is serious about moving big games back to noon, then yes.  If not, I'd rather watch a decent Pac 12 game than Wisconsin-Illinois at noon, as the east coast has abandoned playing solid games at noon.

I know an OU fan who is much better-informed than I am who thinks that the Pac-12 is going to kick out Colorado and Utah, then merge with Texas, Texas Tech, OU, fOSU, KU, and K-State.

He says that the 9:00 start time is a sign that the Pac-12 is failing and knows that it is failing.

I don't buy it, but maybe someone else here does.

I mean if bad results and terrible ratings is your idea of failing, then sure.

I found some pretty interesting noon games last year aside from when my team was -playing.

I might watch say Florida-Vandy on SEC-N and get a clue (probably not) about how good they are, and watch Vandy get a 3 TD lead and squander it somehow.

San Jose St once played a 7:00 AM (Pacific) game, back in their WAC days.

Was it @ Hawaii?

Was it @ Hawaii?

No it was a home game against Boise State.  This was like 2003ish, before every game was available to everyone, and espn2 aired it nationally, which was a big deal back then.  I remember them showing live shots during Gameday of students wearing pajamas to the game.
