This isn't even a "lol Pac-12" discussion, though we've certainly done the best job of cementing ourselves in irrelevancy.greenblood said:
The Pac 12 buried itself. It isn't right to take away from other teams because our conference screwed up. The Pac 12 needs to pull up it's pants and fix it.BleachedAnusDawg said:
You're a fan of a team in a conference which has no relevance on the national stage. Same as me. And you think it's fine how it is?greenblood said:

Yeah, this is getting pretty gay. It used to be that teams from every conference could count on regional recruiting for adequate talent but the TV money and social media has generated 4-5 super programs that suck up all the top players.CallMeBigErn said:
Yeah, I'm reluctantly starting to accept that college football is fucked. This rich get richer shit is destroying the game.RaceBannon said:Sources said:
Given the talent OSU has, there's a decent chance one or both them don't even contributeCanadawg said:
You're missing the point. Having EE and JTT on Ohio state and running across them in the next few years will be painfulEdwin_Bambino said:
Yea this crop of 2020 talent will take us to the champion in 3 years, for sure for sure. Who knows maybe Sam will really be a baller, other than that happening yea we fucked.Canadawg said:The year is 2023.
The Washington Huskies have had there best year since 2016 with a stifling dawg defence and an efficient ball moving offence.
They roll through a Sabanless Bama in the semi final game with a soul crushing 44-14 win.
The National Championship Game Vs tOSU:
Huskies are 3rd and 1 on they're own 40 with 1:37 on the clock up 24-20. A first down separates purple and gold from they're first NC in 3 decades.
Thw ball is snapped and smashing through the offensive line is the beastly structure of a JT Tuimolouo meeting the RB and knocking the ball loose! OHIO STATE RECOVERS!
Ever the heros of the Seattle based school, the defence rises up with a sack and sideline pass denial.
WOOF WOOF WOOF goes the crowd.
3rd and 13 on the UW 36
A battered grey and red clad QB takes the snap in shotgun steps back and releases! Emeka Egbuka is in double coverage and comes down with the ball in the end zone! TD! TOSU ARE THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONS!
Kill me
Pac-12 used to have the RB tied in and even chances of taking an undefeated or one loss season into an NC.
They keep finding ways to ruin the best game in America.
You either win or you don't. I'm not going to blame another team's success for my team's failure. That's loser talk, and sounds a lot like people wanting socialism brought into college sports to "save it". It's fine how it is, just win.
I don't think there's any going back or fixing things without a hard cap on how much money coaches can be paid and how much money athletic departments can earn each year. I am pro-Capitalism but it is ruining traditions in all places, especially sports. If CFB is going to continue down the line of professionalizing the entire sport they should follow the NFL model which clearly works for balancing power.
1) Get a deal done with direct TV. This is why the Pac 12 network doesn't work. 80% of our largest market (Los Angeles) doesn't get the station.
2) Teams need to start fighting harder to recruit more nationally. We can't base our hopes on California kids.
3) Prioritize football. The SEC, ACC, Big10, Big12, truly give zero fucks about any other sport than football. They realize football is their cash cow, and funds much of the other programs at their universities. The Pac 12 needs to take a similar approach. Promote and support the sports that make money, so then you can afford the others. Don't try and boost the other sports while sacrificing the breadwinner.
4) It's tuff
Every conference not named the SEC has the same problem, to varying degrees. Take the Big Ten for example - does any give a shit about Wisconsin anymore? They consistently put up 10+ win seasons only to get totally overwhelmed by the talent gap when it matters. Nebraska and Michigan are only relevant in the sense that the rest of the country likes to laugh at them for once again failing to return to their glory days. You could have similar conversations about the rest of the lesser 4 conferences.
The current CFP model means the only teams that matter are Clemson, Bama, and Ohio State. Sometimes Oklahoma gets the honor of rotating in for their traditional slaughter. It's a disaster. So we can parrott the usual "nut up or fuck off" tuff talk of program building, but at the end of the day, having virtually the same playoff lineup for six straight years is crippling the sport. And the most recent recruiting rankings don't suggest that that's changing any time soon. -
There's 4-5 schools that know how to sell themselves (they're all shit hole campuses and locations, you can be an NFL star draft pick playing for anyone)
and the remaining 90%+ of the schools have red ass coaching staffs that think it's beneath them.
It's pretty pathetic but we need some of these winners to get caught with hookers and blow or just burn out like Pete did, which we know isn't happening. -
Did we flip him yet?

Everyone needs to chill out. This is the year of the decommit.

I'm guessing there will be changes in cfb in a few years like there always have been. Probably a 8 team playoff where there actually will be new winners every few years

During his interview with Softy, Sam Huard basically said JTT is gone. Mentioned both JTT and Egbuka by name when referencing how some guys feel they need to go elsewhere to meet their potential and goals. Said he’ll keep reaching out to JTT but at least Sam said he believes he can fulfill all his dreams and goals at UW.Canadawg said:I'm guessing there will be changes in cfb in a few years like there always have been.
