    If the new Vegas bowl still holds up to be a Pac 12 #2/3 against the SEC it could end up holding a similar clout to the Rose Bowl over time.

    New stadium, win over an LSU/Auburn type of program, Vegas. Could actually be really great for the Pac fans. SEC fans might even care.

    Can't we? move it to a better place than Vegas though?

    Part of what makes the Rose Bowl is where it is. So Cal is full of people for a razone. It's paradise.

    Can't that game be in San Diego or LA?
    You wouldn't have the Vegas bowl in Vegas? Seems odd

    New Rams Stadium would be great. Need to keep the SEC series going at the beginning of the year too. Get a game with Clemson. Tell Dabo if he wants our recruits to fly his ass out here and show it.

    The conference perception takes a hit from losing these games (really only if we get blown out) but it takes a bigger hit that at the end of the year you're just playing the Mountain West and Illinois and fucking Iowa. No one on the west coast gives a fuck about playing any of those teams.

    We could rename it. It's hard, but we could try.

    But it's hard.

    They’re moving the current Vegas (p12 v mwc) to Hollywood Park starting next year

    Maybe we could call it something like the "Holiday" bowel for people on holiday?

    Oregon got fourth best in big ten Wisconsin and we got Urban last game Ohio State. That's it. The end. Go home.

    Should we throw your RB trophy against Purdue in the lake? For Purdue to win the Big Ten Ohio State, Michigan, and Penn State would have to be .500 teams, which they were that year.

    Only a Doog would talk shit about a trophy they haven't won in 20 years.
    Looking back, most of UWs Rose bowl victories were against pretty mediocre big ten teams. Awesome wins over some 8-4 Iowa squads
    The correct opinion is it doesn't matter who you're playing in the rose bowl. It didn't matter who Oregon played this year.

    It didn't matter who UW played last year.
    It doesn’t ultimately matter but when some here say Cristobal did more than Pete, it’s a simplistic statement that is kind of stupid. He hasn’t yet.

    A playoff game is better than a Rose Bowl win and Ohio State was a lot better than Wisconsin. If we had a beat a Wisconsin type team people would still say Pete hadn’t won a big game against a tough opponent.

    Nobody really remembers that tho, so I do get it. Purdue wasn’t anything special in 2000. I still enjoyed it a lot.

    The Temecula Bowl has a nice ring to it

    It's not simplistic or stupid at all unless you're into "but, but, but" loser excuses. He's certainly done more relative to tenure; that's impossible to dispute.

    He also walked into a much bigger pile of shit than did Pete. He's also 2-0 vs. Pete, and Pete had a 5-year head start to build his program. And he won both bowls he played in. The Rose Bowl against this Wisky team is very, very comparable to the PSU team that Washington took on in the Fiesta. Mario won and Pete lost. I won't even argue that point anymore because it's fucking retarded to debate otherwise.

    Also, the Haskins-led Buckeyes were not the juggernaut people are starting to remember them as being. Look at their schedule and results for 2018. They didn't run through the season beating the shit out of everyone. 2019 OSU was significantly better than 2018 OSU. Was 2018 OSU better than 2019 Wisconsin? Sure, I'll concede that. But they weren't world's a part. This is part 1b of the Doog Oregon Rose Bowl narrative.

    Lastly, close games. It's not close. The Oregon Cristobals have been much better in close games.

    I used to be somewhat of a fan of Toothy. The more we talk about this, the more I see how overrated he was. He brought an adult presence to the program when they needed it. Not sure he brought much more than that.
