    Some of the biggest cheerleaders I've ever seen in public not at a game were cougs and beavs.

    Where once they couldn't shut the fuck up about their delusional takes and it was at least entertaining, now they get all weird and insist that college football is dead.

    It's their choice to take their ball and go home and become just like every other boring Pacific Northwest chudtard that needs to remember to mow their lawn and get to Home Depot on a Saturday morning instead of getting excited and talking shit.

    As much as a ton of having to be the Big 10 sucks ass it's 100x better than being where the Coug and Beav are now and for all their chuckling about travel and losing to Rutgers and sucking in basketball, they'd love to trade positions. I would like an eventual return to an actual west coast conference, but those two schools might be so far behind at that point it won't be possible for them. I thought they in the long run might actually enjoy being more of a power Mountain West program but they don't really even have advantages of Boise, San Diego State, Fresno State, etc.

    The Cougs actually had a chance to have a magical fake playoff run last year because they still had Pac-12 talent but Dickert did his usual thing of trying to get another job halfway through and they fell apart.

    That being said it's pretty bad that the big 12 wouldn't take them but took Arizona and Cincinatti. Colorado is going to go back to being a dead weight soon as well.

    But I didn't see Boise fans upset about the system last year.

    That's what they don't get. We?d all like a West Coast division of the remaining old Pac schools that didn't die of AIDs like Stanford.

    They would go through some Utah-like years of transitioning back to true Power 4, but that's what they've always looked like anyways after they make a bad hire in the old Pac 12.

    I like to hope it happens but I am not optimistic about a west coast football conference coming back in reality. UCLA should be the second or third best program out west and they have barely been even above average more than a few years the past 25. Stanford had national title contending teams and couldn’t fill a small stadium. I don’t know if anyone in LA other than 97 year olds and a few Orange County flat billers give two shits about USC even if they came back. BYU might be few viable programs out west outside of Washington and Oregon.

    It's true, a top 4 of a real western conference based on size of fanbases would be Oregon, UW, Utah, and BYU.

    A complete bursting of the TV 💰 bubble would give Utah and/or BYU the excuse they need to go beg the B1G, after which the national conference thing is already out of the bag and it would make too much sense if you're getting them for nothing. A B1G division of those 6 schools would feel a lot like the old Pac 12.
