  1. Today
  2. It’s not amicable in any way. They tried and are trying to do exactly what we did (leave a dead conference), but no one wants them at the moment. So now we give them a home game, and they keep stealing millions of unearned dollars from us at every turn, and we’re supposed to be okay with that? Thank you sir may I have another? Nope.
  3. Maybe, just maybe we are playing them because of over 120 years of history. An amicable divorce is far more preferable than prolonged bickering. Some of us have wives and children, even a daughter-in-law who wear orange. I happen to have all three.
  4. As opportunistic as the Ducks were coming down the stretch, I'd pick them to win this one as well. South Carolina is talented but has been wildly inconsistent at times this season. For example, they let down their guard and lost at home to a mediocre Georgia team earlier in the season. You never know which version of the Gamecocks is likely to show up.
  5. Maybe technically so, but I can’t believe any of their broadcasts of spring games is very profitable, I mean I’ve seen the sponsors for the regular season when the league wasn’t about to disintegrate. What about embarrassment? What about if they are legitimately trying to rebuild? Branding success? I mean how do you gracefully cover teams that are leaving in a few months with a straight face? They should have sold all rights and saved some money and embarrassment. But instead they’re being codpieces…why are we playing them?
  6. "He's a heck of a basketball coach." That is quite a compliment coming from coach Altman.
  7. I imagine the $2 million softened the blow, but you do want to win. Great effort!
  8. Francois McGuillicuddy? In my mind, I picture a French restaurant serving Guinness and bad Irish food. Whatever, he manages a terrific network. Night and day from the Pac-12 Network amateur hour. No worries about the 2025 spring game being covered from kick-off to the final whistle by BTN.
  9. Yesterday
  10. Not surprising. Teams don't formally leave the PAC and join their new conferences until August. This makes sense even if it's not desirable.
  11. I don't see the Pac as a name going away. But I could see a Pacific Coast Conference emerge some day if the West Coast powers want to play on the West Coast again. I don't see them wanting to rejoin the Pac-12 if it is full of mountain west teams so they'll just remake their own conference if it comes down to it. And I'm pretty sure the Beavers and Cougs wouldn't be invited.
  12. Borrowed it, as someone else here in the forum coined it, but I cannot recall who.
  13. Does that mean that whatever miniscule revenue is generated will go to the Pac Who? Kind of embarrassing. Imagine being dumped, but still honoring a commitment to film your ex giving a speech for their online associates. Give me a P, give me an A, give me a T, give me an H, give me an E..... Blah blah blah.
  14. The best part of that is if it happens, Pacific Conference records will remain true records, instead of us having to put * on all future records.
  15. Plus three times zones. If I was a betting man, I'd have to go with SC. However, I had Oregon getting bounced in the first round of the PAC 12 championship too. Regardless, GO DUCKS!
  16. That was devastating! I was yelling at my TV. But, once again Scottie pulls off the win.
  17. The defense absolutely won the game against Colorado, forcing 13 TO's and picking up 9 Steals. They just smothered the Buffs. And to have won by 7 while only shooting 12% from the 3, further underscores the exceptional defensive output.
  18. And to add to the context on this one... Oregon a better prep class in 2024 than everyone on rivals except Ohio State. But on 247 Oregon is ahead of Ohio State. This is super impressive and Oregon is the highest ranked team on 247 in BOTH of these rankings. Lanning is investing in the future with high schoolers but filling areas of need now with the portal. No one is doing BOTH better.
  19. How Oregon tweaked its defense to help the Ducks punch their NCAA Tournament ticket The Oregon Ducks have changed their defense and its paying off. How Oregon tweaked its defense to help the Ducks punch their NCAA Tournament ticket 247SPORTS.COM The Oregon Ducks have changed their defense and its paying off.
  20. I think this is a matchup right up our alley. High scoring teams that shoot the 3 well is what I fear the most. Great bracket for us. USC went 1-1 against common opponent Georgia btw. Having 8 players is fine this time of year, except when playing 3 games in 3 days.
  21. John Canzano felt that the $360,000 to the "Pig-2" was a hint to join the MWC, and take their 2 million dollar payout.
  22. Yes, a classic case of winning the battle but losing the war.
  23. That was just brutal. He made a pretty impressive effort. the last 3 holes, but just not quite enough.
  24. SB Nation is not a Tournament Happy Camper. March Madness men’s bracket makes no sense thanks to selection committee WWW.SBNATION.COM No one can make sense of a bizarre 2024 men’s NCAA tournament bracket.
