Washington and Oregon have agreed to join the BIG and Arizona the Big12. Just a matter of time b4 Arz St and Utah also go to the Big 12. That will leave Stanford, Cal, Wash st and Org St as all thats left. I can see Stanford and Cal going to the ACC which is crazy just to say.

Does anybody have a idea what the end game is for these three conferences joining together? Best I can figure is to make sure SEC doesn't get any more power. ... https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/32076233/sources-acc-big-ten-pac-12-alliance-announcement-focus-common-values

They reversed course really quickly after yesterday.

Just read an interesting article on the decline (or demise) of the PAC-12. https://fansided.com/2018/12/27/alabama-recruiting-pac-12-national-championship/

Sam Darnold edges Josh Rosen for first-team All-Pac-12 honors Kyle BonaguraESPN Staff Writer Covers the Pac-12. Joined ESPN in 2014. Attended Washington State University. USC quarterback Sam Darnold beat out UCLA counterpart Josh Rosen for a spot on the official All-Pac-12 team, which was released Tuesday. Rosen was named to the second team. Stanford running back Bryce Love, a strong candidate for Offensive Player of the year, was another headliner on the squad. http://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/21678904/stanford-rb-bryce-love-southern-california-qb-sam-darnold-lead-all-pac-12-team

Not surprising news http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/adam-pacman-jones-arrested-assault-charge-article-1.2932736

Stanford and Utah both upset last night giving them 2 losses apiece. Looks like the Pac-12 won't be represented in the second edition of the FBS playoffs. But they can still play a role when Stanford plays Notre Dame Go Stanford

http://dogsagainstromney.spreadshirt.com/dogs-against-romney-limited-edition-remember-by-devo-s-gerald-casale-A10629047/customize/color/4 Just heard Michael Vick donated $1,000,000 to this Super PAC.

Now that Maybin has finally been cut, it's becoming abundantly clear that the brains running the Bills have it in for the Big 10 and Pac 10 (save for one school - more on that later). Since Nix and Gailey took over, they have dumped the following high profile (relatively speaking) Bills players: Lynch (Pac 10) Edwards (Pac 10) Whitner (Big 10) Evans (Big 10) Poz (Big 10) Maybin (Big 10) In their place, they have substituted a vast sea of players from the SEC, the ACC, other southern schools, and no-name northeastern schools. The only remaining significant Pac 10 player not from Oregon State left (excluding kickers) is Byrd (Oregon); the only significant Big 10 player is Bryan Scott (and who knows whether he makes it through camp). I'm not convinced that Urbik (Wisconsin) will make it through camp; we'll see. The significant players on defense this year are as follows: secondary: G. Wilson - SEC (Arkansas) Searcy - ACC (UNC) McKelvin - deep south school (Troy) McGee - deep south school (NE Louisiana) Florence - deep south school (Tuskegee) Aaron Williams - Big 12/the south (Texas) Corner - no name NE school (Akron) Bryan Scott (Big 10) LBs: Nick Barnett - Pac 10 (Oregon State) Andra Davis -SEC (Florida) Merriman - ACC (Maryland) Moats - small southern school (James Madison) Torbor - SEC (Auburn) Sheppard - SEC (LSU) Chris White - SEC (Miss. St.) D-Line: Kyle Williams - SEC Dareus - SEC Troup - deep south school (UCF) Kelsay - Big 12 (Nebraska) Spencer Johnson - SEC (Auburn) Carrington - deep south school (Arkansas State) Dwan Edwards - Pac 10 (Oregon State) OFFENSE: QBs: Fitz - weak NE school (Harvard) Brad Smith - Big 12 (Missouri) Thigpen - deep south school (Coastal Carolina) Levi Brown - deep south school (Troy) RBs: F. Jackson - no name northern school (Coe) Spiller - ACC/deep south school (Clemson) Johnny White - ACC/southern school (UNC) WRs: Steve Johnson - SEC (Kentucky) Parrish - ACC (Miami) Donald Jones - no name NE school (Youngstown state) Marcus Easley - borderline no name NE school (UConn) Buster Davis - SEC (LSU) N. Roosevelt - no name NE school (UB) O-Line: Levitre - Oregon State Wood - border state school in state that leans southern (Louisville) Bell - deep south school (Northwestern State; it's in Louisiana) Wang - ACC/southern school (Va Tech) Wrotto - ACC/southern school (Georgia Tech) Urbik - a lone big 10 player (Wisconsin) Chris Hairston - ACC/southern school (Clemson) Hangartner - southern school/Big 12 (Texas A & M) Cordaro Howard - ACC/southern school (Georgia Tech) As for Oregon State: the coach at Oregon State is none other than Mike Reilly, who was the head coach of San Diego during Nix's first year there (2001). Reilly didn't last longer than the 2001 season, but by the accounts I read he got along well with the brass. It was his third year there, and it just didn't work out. Most telling is that Butler/Smith/Nix didn't bring in a new guy right away, which would have been easy to do. They claimed that they liked Reilly. Presumably, Nix and Reilly still get along and have a decent professional relationship. Looking at the surfeit of Beavers on the roster, it would make sense. Anyway, their personnel biases seems pretty obvious to me: opt for southern players and avoid both the Big 10 and Pac 10.

http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/story/11543066/2 And no the Bills are not one of them who did not contribute. Browne coined the name of the NFL's new "Gridiron PAC," which raised $313,000 through the end of last year, the most recent reporting period. Donors included NFL officials such as Goodell, as well as owners and executives of all but two of the league's 32 teams. The only holdouts: the Oakland Raiders, owned by longtime league nemesis Al Davis, and the Cleveland Browns. Neither team returned telephone messages seeking comment.The PAC's first campaign donations will show up in quarterly disclosures next month.

Kudos to USC for slamming the Buckeyes, but overall not a good day for the PAC-10. Washington & UCLA were taken to the woodshed by Oklahoma & Brigham Young. Oregon had to go to double OT to beat Purdue. California gets ambushed by Maryland, a team that lost to Middle Tennessee last week. Arizona State loses in OT to UNLV, ruining the big game against Georgia next week. Right now it looks like none of these teams can compete with USC.

Nothing like a little extortion: http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/24247385/ This can only help his reinstatement case

BYU 38 Oregon 8 Hawaii 47 Arizona St. 24 Florida St. 44 UCLA 27 Way to turn up the defense, fellahs. Cal, ranked #20, goes tonight as a 4-point favorite against #21 Texas A&M to try to earn a piece of respect for the conference. Then it's #24 Oregon St. tomorrow vs. Missouri, and of course USC and UM in the Rose. Not a very good showing so far...

Any followers of the Pac 10 care to comment on an unsettling weekend ? Cal lays an egg, Arizona ekes out a win at home, AZ State struggles against the Lumberjacks of Northern Arizona ? I have been waiting for UCLA to turn the corner and take me back to the John Robinson highs of days gone by and have become the neighborhood pain in the ass about the "east coast bias" in both basketball and football rankings. Might be a long season...

Adam Jones Off to a nice start in his young career.
