CalBear95    No. 1 Share Posted July 2, 2022 (edited) I’m bipolar and even I can’t take these mood swings.  I’m not even a Duck and I feel a sense of dread at being relegated to play the PNWs version of Okie St for the Big XII  The Ducks are soooooooo close to becoming perennial and the just like that, it slips away.   Why why why why why!!!!!!?????  And then my wife comes in and asks me what is my problem and I go back to hunting for crumbs of information on what will happen knowing that they don’t exist  I’ve fallen so far I am even following Canzano on Twitter.  God help me….

Charles Fischer   Administrator  No. 2 Share Posted July 2, 2022 I don't like how this is shaping up for half the conference either...Cal being one of them. I LIKE our conference as it was...  Teams like Oregon State will eventually have to cut sports, and Cal may cut sports they've won National Championships in with less revenue due to the loss of the LA market. If Oregon does not join the B1G, then I predict we will have to cut most of our sports as well. We'll end up with Football, M&W Basketball and Track.   Time to hit some tasty Oregon Craft Beer IPAs...

CalBear95   Author  No. 4 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Why didn’t I think of that?  Really having a bad day  Here is what stumps me: how does SC and UCLA make that travel work?  Set aside money.  These trips become almost akin to professional leagues.   IDK.  Apparently (and I already knew this) I don’t do patience all that well.  I want everything to solve itself *rightnow* when the truth is not that.   And I haven’t even begun to process this for my Bears.  <sigh>   Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duck 1972    No. 7 Share Posted July 2, 2022 I saw 1 post that said it would make sense for B10 to add ND (if they want to might want to stay IND) Ducks, UW, and 2 of the following Cal or Stan or Utah if ND goes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeotechDuck    No. 11 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Yeah.  I am with all of you.  I am really going to miss the PAC-12.  It is bumming me out, but maybe the buffalo trace and IPAs are helping a little bit right now.    Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

noDucknewby    No. 16 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Just got back from vacation mostly avoiding internet and news, then I come to this? WTH?! I figured the sheet would hit the proverbial fan somewhere while I was gone, maybe Ukraine or the stock market, not the Pac-12 in the offseason. Not happy.  1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone finds out when the deal is done. Shady as... nevermind! UCLA is not a private school.

Quackerbacker    No. 22 Share Posted July 2, 2022 I do feel sorry for all the other Pac-12 teams. So Cal schools really put them in a bad spot. I'm not sure UCLA gets out of this quite so easy though. Evidently there are some laws in California that apply to public universities so we will see.  When we previously played UCLA I always wanted to beat them but I didn't have any malice toward them like the Spoiled Children.  Now when we play them I hope we kick the crap (hope that word is allowed) out of them!!  Hopping on the bandwagon, drinking an IPA feel like I've been punched in the gut about 10 times with all this stuff. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
