Tearing it up again with Rishardson going down w a concussion. I’m sure he will be riding pine again after Richardson is cleared.

Will never understand why no team will give him a legit chance.

Just overthrew an open receiver that was open for a TD. Bench him and bring in the backup!

God help us if he fumbles a bad snap.

29-0 LOL

I thought it was going to get better.

Beats ‘Furd. LOL.

From an early look, it appears my prediction of 19K in the stands will be wildly too high.

The El Cerrito, Calif., prospect will play safety in Pullman.

"I just like the atmosphere they had on my official visit," Jackson said.

"It just felt like home when I got there. My old teammate Warren Smith went there so I just felt in love with it.

"They’re very welcoming. When I got there, they were all there at the airport to welcome me and my family and they were great the entire time I was there."

From an early look, it appears my prediction of 19K in the stands will be wildly too high.

Executives from Washington and Oregon acknowledged in writing that they would be excluded from decisions related to the Pac-12’s future — a potentially critical piece of evidence as Washington State and Oregon State, the only remaining schools, wage a legal battle for control of the conference.

The letters were written by Washington president Ana Mari Cauce and Oregon vice president Kevin S. Reed to Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff. They are dated Aug. 4, the day the Huskies and Ducks agreed to join the Big Ten, and were obtained by the Hotline this week from Whitman County Superior Court.

Except for the first six words, the letters are identical. (Cauce’s version is below.) They begin by explaining that the Pacific Northwest powers would not sign “a grant of media rights authorization” — the move that sent five other schools fleeing to other leagues and triggered the Pac-12’s collapse.

The letters then state that Washington and Oregon expected “to remain an active and participating member in the Conference until” next summer. But both Cauce and Reed, who doubles as Oregon’s general counsel, seemingly acknowledged that they were relinquishing their board authority on long-term strategic matters:

“I understand that the University will be excluded from Conference discussions pertaining to matters occurring after August 1, 2024, such as media rights agreements and new Conference member considerations.”

Interesting

Doesn’t have Pac 12 North?

Both sides have legitimate arguments. And while WSU/OSU may be stronger (imo), that doesn’t mean there are definitely legal hurdles to clear to prove the notice/non-notice issue with how vague the wording is. We want some cash and the pac12. The other ten want cash. We both stand to lose a lot. Does this get settled where we oblige the 10 with some cash so we can hold onto assets and some cash as well? Other schools don’t have to worry about discovery, and we move forward with scheduling. Time is of the essence here too.

Go out and retain high end Wall Street legal counsel, ASAP. It will set an immediate tone and send a message. If we do this on the cheap, i.e. have in-house AGs try to handle this, they will likely be swamped and won't be taken seriously. This is new legal territory and the issue are complex and multifaceted. We need to send a message to Feckless 10, the Power 4 and the NCAA, and possibly the networks, that we mean business, and our future athletic won't be swept under the rug. We are expected to lose 20 to 30 million in revenue per year. That is hundreds of millions over the next decade and beyond. Both schools are deeply in debt, due in substantial part to detrimental reliance, at a bare minimum. If this isn't the time to be willing to go to war, and I mean war, when is?

Could we get USFL'ed? Quite possibly. But it is time to start fighting back, and not slink off meekly in oblivion.

Are these good seat location anyone know..

Anyone notice that Soccer is ranked #11? I believe VB is ranked as well, not sure of the number. Those young ladies are representing us well. And they aren't ugly either.

Per the Portland Oregonian newspaper:

OSU athletic director Scott Barnes said Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff “has not been involved in our (expansion) conversations.” Barnes said he doesn’t know about Kliavkoff’s future. “That will be a presidential decision is terms of what happens there, but he has not been involved in our conversations,” he said. “We are no longer waiting and sitting on our hands as it relates to thinking about our next move. The only waiting is for some finality as to what Stanford and California are doing.”

Seems like there is a real sense of urgency at this point and that Klaitkoff will be one of the fall guys for the missing TV deal

With the TNF game last night this is getting a lot of buzz. What are your thoughts, good rule or dumb rule?

For me, if you fumble the ball through the end zone, out of the back of the end zone it’s a touchback. The end zone boundaries are the same all the way around to the goal line, so I think the rule should be consistent and this should be a touchback.

Is to build schedules for our sport programs for the next two years, effectively as an independent. By then, the MWC conference schools will be out of their bad TV deal, binding them to the that conference and they will be effectively free agents. The 8-10 million we would make over that period by simply joining the MWC just isn't worth it. Our 100 year history and the record book associated with it, has value. Further, doesn't WSU and OSU owe it those teams and athletes who won them conference championships, to make a good faith effort to protect their legacy. Joining the MWC for effectively chump change and ease of scheduling reasons? I'm sorry, but hell no! We'd be just like the others, but for a whole lot less money. Also, let's not forget, much of that 8-10 million will be offset with appearance fees and our own independent grants of rights during the interim.

In two years--which and how many schools do you invite to join? My thought is 6 - AF, SDSU, Boise, CSU, Fresno, and UNLV. Why only 6, not 8 including WYO and USU? It is because we no longer have the luxury of "cup cake" scheduling. We as the New Pac conference need to schedule multiple games against Power 4 schools, taking the annual "who have they played" denigration and diminishment off the table. It will also increases revenues significantly. Ultimately, as new conference, in effect, we will want power conference recognition, and the only way you get that is beating power conference teams. All we need is one team a year that is hitting on all cylinders, and that message is sent.

Who should be the commissioner? George or Larry? Just kidding. I'd favor either Luck or Nevarez, both having legal backgrounds. The last thing we need is yet another pitch man making promises and selling snake oil. We need someone trained to manage and assess situations on the risk/benefit continuum, you know, someone who can actually provide sound business and legal advice moving forward.

Thoughts....

As you know, Cal is expected to receive 5-10 million per annum in Cal-imony due to damages caused by UCLA's departure. Well, what did Cal just do too? UCLA no longer wants to pay Cal-imony. And they have a point. Cal is deeply in debt to the tune of 300+ million, they have 23 non-revenue sports, will be getting only 30% of a full ACC share initially, and they must fund a ton of East Coast travel as an ACC member. Guess who might be near saying --- Nevermind!

Crazy!
