    While @Sandra6 seems like a one-trick pony to this point, she is creating some important conversations

    She? could add to her? repertoire by posting tit pics in the Wam.

    We're approaching saturation but not there yet

    I've got a couple of candidates for pitch counts

    Stick around Sandra👌👌

    You may make a good point. More pics needed to confirm though.

    Months ago, Amazon chatted with the Big Ten about buying a package if Oregon, Washington, Cal and Stanford were added. But the games they'd have access to weren't worth the investment because of where Amazon would have been in the game-picking order. Could they slip back into those conversations? Could the conference find a way with its broadcast partners to provide Amazon access to better games once the extra inventory arrives?

    Don't expect anything significant to happen with the Big Ten and Amazon until outgoing commissioner Kevin Warren officially leaves office, which is scheduled for April. Would a media partner want a deal with an outgoing commissioner? Probably not, especially because Amazon was involved in the original Big Ten negotiations and ultimately left out.

    But the potential of new leadership combined with the increasing desperation of Oregon and Washington has cracked the door back open. The Big Ten presidents weren't keen on more additions initially, and both USC and UCLA have been protective of the West Coast. But could properties that valuable really get left behind?


    we? a valuable program?

    UW has been a mess for 30 years and has had some extreme lows, but never really goes away. *We've always been a good coach, or just the right coach, away from being a top 1-3 team on the west coast and competitive nationally. A guitar playing, sweater vest wearing, soft, Socal guy managed a nice peak and some temporary clout before he flamed out. A tired, cranky, burnt out Petersen did the same. Deboer has it going again.

    Almost everything that could be done wrong or just go wrong has happened, yet here *we are right in the national conversation again for the upcoming season.

    I'm no economist by any stretch of the imagination but I have to say that yes, UW brings a ton of value. Oregon too.

    Can Washington and Oregon please play the "Invite Us in the Next 10 Days or We'll Join the ACC and Lock Ourselves Up Until 2036" card?

    Even if we're BSing with that threat, I want the Big 10 to hurry up. Enough fucking waiting. You invited Maryland and Rutgers with seemingly zero hesitation, but there's all this hesitation on adding us? Seriously, WTF? I don't want to wait until fucking April for an invite.

    With the rumors that USC and UCLA want to prevent us from entering the conference, we'd probably lose any chance at geting into the Big 10 once they have a vote on Big 10 matters and would provide us with two more no votes, anyway.
