    I wonder if Peterman and the rest of the coaches would be willing to take a pay cut so we could return to the era of all 1230 or 1pm kicks and not every game on TV. Stupid college sports arms race.

    They have FAMILIES!

    They need to be able to send their kids to the finest private schools.
    The sarcasm makes a valid poont none the less.

    There are plenty of day time windows. You can watch all sorts of shit teams. Just not Pac 12 shit teams.

    That's why Larry gets ripped. By not going with either ESPN or FOX we get the hind tit when it comes to broadcast windows.

    Then there is the issue of the Pac 12 network which does have day games, being unavailable outside of China

    Wait, so if there was no Pac 12 Network and we were just contracted with ESPN and FOX we'd have more day / early evening games? No sarcasm here - just an honest question.

    This Sat, Pac 12 Network has a day game at 1PM with SC v OSU and then at 5PM with Zona and CU.

    Brad, what would you say if I asked you to put these in the trunk of the Cruising Vessel?

    I'd say, who the hell is Ron Johnson?

    The Pac 12 has no excuse to not be as widely seen as the SEC. We have bigger markets and our football is just as bad.

    The SEC network contracted with ESPN so in addition to the network itself SEC network games are shown across the ESPN family of networks and CBS, the best 12:30 game hands down. ABC now shows ACC and SEC games and B1G games instead of Pac 12 games in the prime windows. Larry won't play ball so they told us to fuck off
    Being on CBS is no good for me. I don't get this channel or pac12 network.

    I wonder if a competent negotiator for the Pac 12 could fix this endless nightgame bullshit without the Pac 12 losing any TV revenue.

    It's funny that we all hated Tom Hansen, and we did, because we all thought he wasn't doing enough to getting us up there with the big boys. He always warned that if we jumped into that pool we were guppy and would be at the whims of the sharks, and would hate it.

    Here we are today signed on with ESPN and Fox along with our own conference network just like the big boys. There is just one problem, the west coast doesn't have that many true college football fans. Now we kick off in the middle of the night or on weekdays or on a channel no one has.

    Tom Hansen was right, we were wrong. We put money over experience and it got us super awesome newly renovated stadiums that people don't really go to.

    How are the Pac12 negotiations going with DirecTV? Good right?

    I honestly can't even remember the last time a Husky game started at or before 1pm.

    Last year larry scott arranged for us to kickoff against rutgers at 11 am at Husky Stadium. Fuckin' A its like the guy just spins the hands in a giant click and we kickoff wherever it stops.

    Asshole
