Go Cougs 😺

I'm done trying to communicate with you on an adult level. You have no ideas, no opinions, and no predictions. Just a continuing stream of insults and jibberish that bring nothing to the table. So you be you. I'll limit my conversations to those posters who have something to discuss and ponder. Bye!

Colorado State is added and now is 9/27. @ UVA shifted to October, the weekend after @ Ole Miss.

So back-to-back trips traveling across the country?

CSU cancelled Vandy. Wonder if that’s our last game?

Just to echo two things:

1.) Gloria overplayed her hand. Rather than creating a partnership that could lead to a constructive future, she approached the situation with the idea that since we had no choice for this year's schedule, she was going to milk it for all she could get. What she underestimated was the level of dissatisfaction that her own lead schools had with her leadership. That led directly to where we are today. With Hawaii the MWC was already the biggest East/West travel conference. Now she will have to pick up some midwest schools to fill the roster and that distance will increase further. Maybe that is not all bad from a fan standpoint...who doesn't want to go to Hawaii? but it is hard to see how that benefits the students...though the next step in the evolution is likely to be that SEC schools don't require their semi-pro athletes to attend school. Sure looks that way, anyway.

2.) And those UW alums that I actually know well enough to talk with are even further into the buyer's remorse mode than they were a year ago. For all the obvious reasons.

The narrative of the MWC “successes” has been baffling to me. They added UTEP which is one of the worst all time programs, and Hawaii for all sports which adds tons of travel costs for all sports. They also tried to invite Tarleton State, Sam Houston, and TxSt and all said no. To me their moves have underwhelming bordering on ass. Using their payout money to secure UNLV instead assisting in paying for schools like Montana, and Montana St to elevate to FBS seems like a dumb choice. They need good teams not just UNLV and AF funded.

Perhaps Loyal will drink himself into a stupor at ease. Colorado State has been added to the 2025 schedule.

Prescient.

And keeping UNLV and AFA could easily be short term.

But you’re underestimating the size of Loyal’s crush on Gloria.

Hey stalker. I'm still in your head I see.

Oh and "Prescient". Another big fancy word. I'm in awe.....

Wow - that is quite the development. CSU buys its way out of a trip to SEC Vandy to play WSU at home. Works for me. Would love to see the dollars involved just out of curiosity.

Stanford still has an opening. And I see they aren't scheduled to play ND in 2025 or any future years. Hmm.

Sac St. does have 2 openings, including a mutually open date of Oct. 4. Since they only have 4 home games, they are probably looking at home slots. Although if they are really going to replace their stadium after this season, being road warriors may be inevitable. That said, I really prefer not to play 2 FCS teams in a season. Sac St could be seen as an exception, if they were on their way to FBS. Probably to the MW.

I'm very disappointed with the B1G, Big 12, and ACC. All 3 combined to take 10 schools away from the PAC-12 to tear apart our conference but won't help OSU and WSU with scheduling football games. Absolutely classless.

Instead, we're left with this miserable deal with the MWC.

No way would I want to see WSU play AT Sacramento State.

Very nice of Colorado State to adjust their schedule to play a game with the Cougars. Good partnership. That's a school I'd want in the rebuilt PAC-12.

UVA, Ole Miss, Vandi back to back. 16 straight days of eating at Waffle House.

We want the B1G experience.
