Can't attack the message, get called out for ad hominem attacks, what's left? Stupid memes. Thanks for confirming you have nothing left to combat my logic.

UO and UW are leaving. It’s just a matter of when. Not sure why some people are determined to have Arizona left in the lurch hoping that after the PAC is completely dead that some conference not named the Mountain West will scoop us up with the rest of the dorks who couldn’t get a date to the dance...

AzCatFan2

UO and UW aren't going to the BIG 12. If they were, they'd be gone already. If UO and UW go B1G, then we go BIG 12. But until UO and UW leave, the PAC is a better conference then the BIG 12.

Thanks for making my point that staying in the Pac-12 with the late night windows for basketball/football are bad for Arizona. Staying in the Pac-12 with the late night windows and Amazon is worse. I'm glad you see things my way. Welcome to the "join the Big 12" train little buddy. I knew you would...

All PAC-12 games are on traditional TV channels now. How much brand equity are we gaining from our ESPN/FOX contract? Very little to none. The casual fan? Heck, he can't even watch a game like USC vs Arizona if he doesn't have Sling or Dish because he doesn't have PAC-12 Network. Neither does his lo...

The future certainly looks like it will be streaming. Major League Soccer signed with Apple (https://www.sportspromedia.com/analysis/mls-apple-sports-streaming-rights-deal-explainer/) Major League Baseball has deals with both Apple and Peacock (https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/03/mlb-apple-friday...

Canzano on the BIG 12 deal. Worth 31.8 million a year per school. Thinks the PAC deal will be between $32 and $34 million. https://www.johncanzano.com/p/canzano-b ... -to-finish

And just about 50% of cable subscribers watch sports. And more watch pro sports over college.

AzCatFan2

The PAC deal will likely be very close per school, money wise. Not enough difference to make one school jump one way or the other in my opinion. Now, if the BIG 12 can guarantee competent referees, that's a different story.

AzCatFan2

Are you fucking kidding me? Fuck the PAC refs.

AzCatFan2

Run the fucking ball! And cover the other team. So poorly coached on both sides of the ball. Fucking pathetic. The talent is better under Fisch, but I still wouldn't want him to coach my kid's Pop Warner team.

AzCatFan2

No imagination in the red zone. Need better play calls. Too predictable.

AzCatFan2

No reason to challenge. If we need a T/O before half, or another play to challenge, then that's on Fisch. Dumb decision.

AzCatFan2

Why do we get stuck with blind, dumbfuck referees every game? Missed the offensive PI on the third down cross. And on the TD, the SC back left early. Should've been a false start.

Partnering with Amazon is a risk, for sure. But Amazon benefits, assuming they take over PAC-12 Network capabilities, by acquiring a full sports studio, equipment, and experts. Amazon also gets a ton of live sports content. Not only can Amazon packet this along with Thursday night to sell to DirecTv...

Should I wait for the company to fail to lose my job or should I take that new position that actually makes a little more and offers more stability The 4 corner PAC Presidents feel as I do. The PAC with UW and UO > BIG 12. The PAC is on life support, but not dead yet. And we'll likely get a 5 year ...

ACC schools won't negotiate for another decade, and are locked into their current contract until 2035. Zero danger any ACC takes our BIG 12 spot. Oregon, Washington, and Notre Dame want zero part of the BIG 12. Should the BIG 12 expand before 2030, the 4 corner PAC schools are by far their best opti...

So a trip to Waco to play a game nobody cares about is better than a trip to Seattle? Bull. And we'll get stuck in the 4th window the same amount of time as we are now if the 4-corner schools go to the BIG 12. Just because we would be in a conference with more schools in the Central time zone doesn...

If you rank all the schools not affiliated with the SEC or B1G, you get, in no particular order, Notre Dame, Clemson, Florida State, Washington, and Oregon. If the BIG 12 is more stable today, that's because they have little or nothing of value to the top dogs. It's also the answer to why the 4-corn...

We all hate the late starts, but it's valuable to the networks. We go BIG 12 and get stuck in a western pod with only 6 teams from MTN/PAC time zone, we'll be playing more of these 4th window games. In the PAC, with 10 plus whomever we add, it won't be as many. This take is literally void of all lo...

I'm in group 2 too. I honestly don't think the BIG 12 TV contract is going to be bigger or better than the PAC. When it comes right down it, the 4th window has value. Washington at CAL (10:30 PM Eastern) drew a .8 rating with 1.32 million viewers last week. (https://www.sportsmediawatch.com/college-...

I can't see anyone with any business sense going with way overpriced studio space just off the Embarcadero. Likewise, if your remote directors (a-holes by definition) live there, they're also overpriced due to excessive housing costs. Sets are plywood with shiny stuff on the front of them, so that'...

The 4th window has value. ESPN doesn't care two bits if it's 4th window game is Washington State at Arizona under a PAC-12 banner, or Baylor at Arizona under a BIG 12 banner. It just cares that there is a 4th window game of some value it can show in its 10:30 PM Eastern time slot that can beat out ...

Not taking control of our fate? What is the thing of most value PAC schools have right now with USC and UCLA leaving? The answer is the 4th window game.

The 4th window for Saturday night games still has value. UW at CAL was an entertaining game, and likely the most watched game that started during the 4th window, by far. It was on ESPN.

Not only do these refs not belong on a Pop Warner field, neither does our D.

In say rush 7 every play. Feast or famine. We're not doing anything rushing 4. Why not try something different?

AzCatFan2

We suck. Again.

AzCatFan2

We must lead the country in opposing players catching the ball without a defender within 15 yards.

AzCatFan2

We're not even touching Penix. He has all day.

AzCatFan2

A sideline ref,5 yards forward, rules an incomplete pass from an angle it is 100% impossible to see if a ball moves backwards, blows the fucking play dead?!? Are you fucking kidding me? That guy has no business ever being within 100 miles of a football game ever again.

AzCatFan2

These refs are fucking blind and incompetent. They don't deserve to ref a Pop Warner game. They are that bad.

AzCatFan2

Doesn't a ball have to move forward to be a pass? That was a lateral. As for our D, we would struggle to get pressure against a bunch of grandmothers. Just pathetic.

AzCatFan2

We looked so ill prepared. Bad coaching. Again.

AzCatFan2

Why wasn't that illegal substitution on UW? They were already set, out of the huddle, on the line, when a player came running on.

AzCatFan2

More incompetent? UA defense and staff or these referees?

AzCatFan2

The offense is adequate. Would love another quality lineman or two, but what school wouldn't? We're developing a good O personality too. But Jedd Lasso still tries to be cute at times when it isn't necessary. Like the fumble on the first possession against Oregon. We were moving the ball well. Why c...

College football should institute a mercy rule for games like this.

AzCatFan2

Good start to the 3rd makes up for bad end to the half. Good job, guys.

AzCatFan2

Up big, 2:30 seconds in the half, and we go 3 and out with 2 incomplete passes. Why? Then, a dumbass penalty gives Colorado life, and instead of being up by 19, it's only 13 at half. Stupid play calling, again. If Colorado can score coming out of half, game on.

The playoff expansion has potentially changed the calculus for schools like Oregon and Washington. If the money for staying in the PAC is enough, then the lure of a guaranteed PAC playoff spot might be enough for these schools, versus a few more dollars in the B1G, but having to compete with the Ohi...

Classic uniforms are always acceptable. But personally, I'm partial to road reds. I do hope they release some in the future. Regardless, the callback to Lute and the 1988 team is cool.
