On the bright side, it will make switching from game to game easier, since won't have to leave one app for another. You know, kind of like cable does.

Why so surprised? Nevada, San Diego St., Colorado St, and now WSU. Losing at home to MWC schools is what they will do as long as Hopkins is coach.

Of course. To clarify what I mean, I don't think there is a "surefire" bet like a Peyton Manning in this draft. A QB that after a few growing pains will keep his team in the conversation every year as long as he is healthy and the team is not run by completely incompetent people. I am biased but Penix is giving me Dan Marino vibes.

Not to be captain obvious, I think all of them will be dependent on the situation they find themselves in. I am not sure any of these QBs, as good as they have been can change a NFL Franchise. That is no knock. Patrick Mahomes may not have had the same career if he was expected to immediately turn around a perennial loser franchise vs going to a steady franchise coached by Andy Reid. I think the term "generational" gets thrown towards Caleb Williams too much. To answer the question, I don't know enough about Drake Maye (I can't remember watching a UNC game). Based on what I know, I would take Penix.

By "easily" you mean never trailing at any point, right?

Imaging comparing going 0 for 1 vs going 1 for 27. I guess you missed Browning winning and going 32-37 on MNF or winning and going 18-24 in his third start. So that would be 3 straight weeks of highlights.

Jake Browning has won twice as many PAC 12 football championships as UCLA during his 27 years of life.

I think DeBoer's success has saved Hopkins job. Can't afford/don't want to pay DeBoer and staff the raises they earned and a buyout for Hopkins and a new coach.

Having fun up here too.

It was Utah not OSU.

Didn't watch much (any) NFL this weekend and almost didn't watch MNF, but remembered Browning was playing and wanted to see him in action. Glad to see him do well. Hope he pulls a Foles and takes it all the way to the Superbowl.

A bright side for WSU/OSU joining the Mountain West: they will beat UW as UW can't handle the MWC on the court.

Maybe this is why he is holding off calling his bookie.

If I were UO, I would rather see what Ty Thompson has. If Ty is not the guy after being there multiple seasons plus 15 bowl practices as QB1 and having a better team surrounding him than the team he is playing, it is good to learn that now. But it is Nix's decision.

I posted the line earlier, if you feel this strongly maybe you should empty out your bank account and take advantage of your foresight.

Nah. As much as I wanted a traditional Rose Bowl too, it is what it is. I wanna respect the system as is, even though it is heavily flawed. They could have avoid this all along by not putting #'s in front of the final 4, just pitting match-ups based on many factors including history and geography along with competitive balance. Year 1 in 2014 should have been OSU/Oregon in the Rose and Bama/FSU, but by putting artificial numbers we didn't get it. Besides from UW's point it is better to play Texas now vs if they both win (and I think both games are tossups) and then UW would have to play Texas in Houston.

For as comfortable UW is in it's playoff position, IF Jordan Travis never got hurt, all of "4 best team" arguments that are now being made by the SEC towards FSU would be directed at UW. Nice to not have to deal with that.

If Michigan loses or plays like cheeks, it is possible. It would suck to be #2 to Michigan's #1 and have them select the Rose Bowl.

You can control it by beating everybody.

It may come across as pompous, but I think the sentiment was schools like UW, USC, UCLA are used to being peers with B1G schools. "Settling" for $30 million while falling further and further behind was never going to fly. It is why USC and UCLA were motivated to leave, and it is why Oregon was hesitant and UW was the one who pushed leaving. Oregon (and Phil Knight's) goal is winning a championship, so their thought process was "what is the best path to that goal, a stronger B1G or a PAC we could dominate?" UW's thought process was most likely, "we'll be damned if we get left behind". This is why staying the PAC was never going to work, nor was joining the Big 12, no matter how much Big 12 stans insisted that UW/UO was going to join.

At one point the B1G and PAC were truly peers. It is sad that in about 10 years or so, very few people will have working memory of this. Things got fucked up many times along the way for the B1G to be in a position to offer the LA schools a new future. Many Duck fans would happily tell you that it started under a Husky and exacerbated under Larry Scott and completely imploded with Kliavkoff. After that point, the 10 guys(and gals) were never going to save the conference. There was no media partner that would have made it viable in the long run.
