Get your own DVR. Streaming has been around for a couple of decades now, the tech is out there for those who want to use it.

Rumor is there is a "box" that has all the streams and a dvr built in, but I can neither confirm or deny.

"BSU, SDSU, Fresno St, CSU, Memphis, Tulane, WSU, OSU, is a LOT BETTER then a MWC 2.0."

That's a tough combo of a season ticket package to sell for WSU and OSU. That is a MWC 2.0, it's lipstick on a pig.

I don't know. I think that many of our fans are going to view this as a relief after the long period of uncertainty and given our lackluster schedule this season.

In alternating years, we'll play Oregon State, UW, Boise State, Fresno, Colorado State, and SDSU. Those are solid, recognizable west coast programs that our fan base is familiar with. Boise State, UW, and Oregon State will all travel well, so the game day atmosphere will be good.

Memphis and Tulane are decent names in their region, but not so much out here. I'm hoping we can add some ACC castaways. A collection of programs like Pitt, Boston College, Wake Forest, NC State, Louisville, Virginia, Virginia Tech, and of course Cal and Stanford would be great additions.

Umm BSU, SDSU, Fresno St, CSU, Memphis, Tulane, WSU, OSU, is a LOT BETTER then a MWC 2.0.

A MWC couldn't, wouldn't hold a candle, jock strap of a PAC 8 comprised of those specific TOP, BEST OF BEST HYBRID G5, P5 teams.

And BSU, SDSU, Fresno St, Memphis, Tulane, is worthy to join a Big 12, ACC.

Only 1 that isn't worthy is CSU.

And in 2028 when CFP does a look in evaluation, PAC 8, will get more Media deal money, CFP money, at least HYBRID G5, P5 status, and a semi guaranteed, semi automatic 9-3, 10-2, 11-1 PAC 8 champion into CFP 19 out of 20 years, over all the other G5 conference champs from MWC, AAC, Sun Belt, MAAC, etc.

That's what Ross Dellinger, Yahoo Sports meant when said that PAC 8 would get 1 practically guaranteed, automatic PAC 8 champ spot in CFP, according to insider expert sources in the know that told Ross Dellinger, Yahoo Sports that.

Why would you think that is what I was meaning? I said it was good that they were always right, didn't I? After all, CNN/MSM all got russia collusion right, along with the NASCAR Noose, Jussie Smollet, Duke Lacross, etc. I trust them completely.

As far as this specific story, who knows what is happening in Springfield. They say no credible reports are filed, but residents are saying it is happening. I have no knowledge one way or the other, yet this would not be the first time that people come to our country and do things that are accepted in their country but not in ours. I guess it won't affect me one way or the other unless they come and get my beagle.

But is the issue immigration or illegal immigration?

Why is this an issue if they are here legally ?

Actually I have consistently predicted, projected, extrapolated, gone by what Canzano, Wilner, Ross Dellinger, Jim Williams, etc, have reported, extrapolated, etc.

And that is:

1. PAC 8 poach BSU, SDSU, Fresno St, UNLV, and 2 of either Memphis, Tulane, UTSA. This is pretty dam close to what PAC is doing now.

2. Reverse Merge the top 9 MWC, by having the TOP 9 dissolve MWC, then join PAC, leave bottom 3 behind.

3. The PAC join the ACC, when, if it falls apart.

I have not been throwing up 10 to 25 to 50 to 100 to 1000 things up, and see what sticks.

Others might have done that, but not me.

I kept telling Loyal, etc, that Canzano, Wilner, Ross Dellinger, Jim Williams, etc, that WSU would probably either poach the top 4,5 MWC teams, an or take top 9 MWC programs, or join ACC(and PAC 8 might semi probably still join the ACC, when, if ACC falls apart.)

So yes, I was pretty bloody damn accurate, because I followed Canzano, Wilner, Jim Williams, Ross Dellinger, etc.

And Loyal, others still have crow to eat.

Oh Mik. Pretty sure your list of predictions has been longer than that. But whatever. Your list above only omits joining the Big-12. So one of the possible options materialized. Congratulations! And I will go further to say that now your dream schools Tulane and Memphis are now being mentioned. Now if that actually happens, I will eat crow and starlings because they were never mentioned previously by anyone but you.

BTW, I have consistently said the Pac-8 poaching scenario was stupid. I still think it is, semi, sort of, kind of, probably, maybe stupid. I never said it wouldn't happen.

But if it makes you feel all warm and fuzzy, sure I'll eat crow. Will need a ton of Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce to get it down. But it will have to be tomorrow. I just lured in the neighbor's cat and so I have tonight's dinner all lined up.

Who are you talking to or about? Trump? Yeah he's old. I'm not.

I have been musing more about dogs and cats. Cats are too scrawny to bother with, and they kind of taste like mouse. I'm thinking Dachshund is the best choice. Plump, nice size to slide onto the spit, small enough to fit in the oven whole.

I'm getting hungry now. Think I'll slip off to the dog park and prowl for dinner.

Were they really on the 10? I was there but didn't think USC was THAT close. But it was on the other end of the field. That was indeed one of the worst moments in the history of Cougar Football. If not the worst.

If PAC takes specifically the best of the best borderline, hybrid G5, P5 colleges, like specifically BSU, SDSU, Fresno St, Memphis, Tulane, that would be good enough to make the PAC 8 a HYBRID G5, P5 ish conference, and that specific type, kind of conference could get the weakest P5 status back by 2028, the date that the CFP evaluates, downgrades, upgrades conferences P5, G5 status, and what they eligible for, from CFP.

BSU, SDSU, Fresno St, Memphis, Tulane, are good enough, worthy enough, have enough value, etc, NOW to be worthy of joining a P4, P5 conference, like a Big 12, ACC, A HYBRID G5, P5, PAC 8 of BSU, SDSU, Fresno St, Memphis, WSU, OSU, CSU.

How interesting. Ross says nothing of the sort (The Pac regaining P5 status) in his interview today (link below). Or in today's Yahoo Sports Dellinger article (link below). What he did say was this, which is not the same thing as regaining P5 status:

"Something to also keep in mind with all this: The Pac-12 lost its designation as an autonomous/power conference, a moniker that gave it more voting privileges within NCAA governance and more revenue in the CFP distribution model.

While unlikely to earn back the status, there is a “look-in” provision in the CFP contract after the 2027 playoff that can be triggered to re-evaluate revenue distribution. The Pac-12, if stable enough with enough brands, could make an argument for more CFP money."

www.nbcsports.com

Pac-12 adds Boise, CSU, SDSU and Fresno

Ross Dellenger joins Dan Patrick to break down the Pac-12 announcing the addition of four schools starting in 2026, explaining what the revitalization of the conference means for college athletics.

After latest realignment moves, which other schools will the Pac-12 try to scoop up?

The league wants to be known as the “best of the rest” outside of the power four leagues. So which other schools fit the bill? What kind of ripple effect will this all have on college sports?

Oh and you refer to this "hybrid" P5/G5 conference a lot. There is no such thing.

You are correct, it was obvious what the result was and I NAILED IT with my list.

Of course, an ILK like you must go along with the MSM false narrative that Harris won, because she must be supported at all costs, no dissent allowed. All that in spite of the facts that she lied dozens of times, failed to provide a single useful bit of information about what she would do to help the nation, failed to actually provide an answer to a single question she was actually asked. If the debate was a championship prize fight, she would be the fighter that spent all 12 rounds dancing and running away from the opponent, feinting with jabs, and never throwing a punch that landed. And you would call that a win. LOL

I agree, and I have mentioned this before, College football as we know it will end up with 30,40,60 super teams, whatever the number, WSU won't be part of it. Start another division, scholarship limits, No NIL or with NIL caps, limit the number of transfers, and comp for players that transfer, you can go on and on. You could come up with a league that will be closer to what college football has been, than the one it is about to become with the Super League. I think there would be a lot of fan interest in a league that more resembles college football's past, than what the future is about to bring us, and with fan interest there is still TV money. And these team will still be very competitive and have players go to the NFL. As Saban said, you can spend 20 million on NIL money, but if you have the wrong players you are SOL. And this is what will happen to many teams in the Super League.

It's still too early to start this as there are still about 30 teams that think they are part of the super league, that won't be. Once they recognize that, is the time to come up the new league.

This isn't speculation - the B1G and SEC have openly talked about doing this within the next 5 years; its going to happen. All of the lower tier P4 schools are going to be left with their d!ck in their hands waiting for the scraps to fall from the adult table of their former conference members.

The bottom halves of the B1G, SEC and the majority of the ACC and B12 should be making plans to do their own thing. Take a long hard look in the mirror and realize that you aren't going to be invited to the adult table and move forward. Align with all the other rejects to not take bodybag games from the NFL lite and do your completely own thing.

I read that UNLV tried to make them and Nevada a package deal and the PAC12 said no and went with someone else. I personally think it had to do with the buyout at this time. $41 million for 4 MWC teams vs $63 million for 6 teams is a big difference.
Click to expand...

Plus No Way the PAC takes a bottom feeder like a Hawai, Nevada, New Mexico, just to get a team like UNLV, if the PAC 8 would take a bottom feeder, the PAC 8 would have done a reverse merger of whole entire MWC, taken Hawai, Nevada, New Mexico as bottom feeders.

Absolutely zero chance that we will get P5 status restored (recall that it was stripped earlier this year). Two schools downgraded to G5 (basically) add 4 and soon to be 6 G5 schools, so that elevates them to P5 stature? Hey I'd love to be wrong and eat crow on this.

That said, I'm very much in shock (not good or bad, just shock) over this development. I guess Teresa keeps her job.

Well, considering the pundits are already throwing around "P4" as a term, I'm guessing that die is cast and no matter what the P2 does they won't get their "P" status back. And honestly, until the revenue of the included programs reaches a level commensurate of a "power" moniker they shouldn't get that status back.
