  1. I don't get this move at all. They had the best defense in the conference and are a legit contender for conference champion next year. Any clue as to why he is leaving?
  2. Short and funny husky season highlight video. Ducks featured prominently!
  3. Cal WR J. Michael Sturdivant in the portal. Ouch. Saw a rumor on a Cal board saying he is going to UCLA. Double ouch. https://www.si.com/college/cal/news/sturdivant-enters-transfer-portal

    That Rose Bowl sucked a little bit. I was hoping Utah would fly the banner for the conference, and win their first RB. Was not the Utes best performance.

    Maybe 10 teams. I think most UW fans would keep their 11-2 and Alamo Bowl win.

    Was that 6 broken tackles on that TD run by Jackson? Nice.

    Both LA schools innovating new ways to give games away late.

    Congrats, Beavs. You controlled that game from start to finish. Was really hoping you would get the shutout … almost.
  9. Here is how the Athletic reported the "Calimony" (subsidy from UCLA to Cal): UCLA may also be compelled to pay a so-called “Berkeley Tax,” in which it contributes “$2 million to $10 million” of its coming Big Ten revenue annually to fellow system member Cal to support the athletes on that campus. According to a recommendation approved in a separate vote, the board will have the authority to determine the amount once the Pac-12’s pending media deal is finalized.
  10. Counterpoint: he will bring instant recruiting juice to the Buffs and should get the talent level up in the program. He also seems to run a tight ship and has his players’ respect, based on the locker room videos I have seen.
  11. NY Times article on the UC Board of Regents meeting yesterday. The Board has postponed any action to another meeting on December 14. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/17/sports/california-regents-meeting-ucla-big-ten.html Of note, it sounds like Kliavkoff has made attempts to lure UCLA back to the Pac12 with the promise of a "a little more" of the tv revenue if they stay: "But last month, the Pac-12 provided to several regents a glimpse of what its deal, which it has been negotiating for months, might look like if U.C.L.A. decided to remain: a range between $42 million and $47 million per school, with U.C.L.A. getting a little more than the remaining 10 schools in the Pac-12 once Southern California leaves for the Big Ten in 2024, according to two people familiar with the discussions who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss them. The holdovers in turn would be getting a little more than San Diego State if it left the Mountain West to become the conference’s 12th team. Then the Big 12 announced its deal with Fox and ESPN, which will be worth $31.7 million per school. That number was far enough below expectations that the Pac-12 lowered its estimates for the regents by about 10 percent. ... The Pac-12’s willingness to sweeten the offer for U.C.L.A. also included a willingness to pay the buyout the Los Angeles school would have to fork over to break the Big Ten agreement. That buyout is $15 million, according to three people who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to reveal terms of the deal."
  12. very good summary of that tweet.
  13. I feel you. Memorial Stadium could be converted to a community vegetable garden, with solar panels around the perimeter.
  14. totally. Just plug in this bad boy at the office of the home team, visiting team can view by zoom, Pac12 official is present to administer the rules. Can we have a deal with Amazon now?
  15. You mean Kliavkoff? Isn't he just pointing out that the UC system has a stated objective of reversing climate change? I think that is fair for him to point out, and a laudable objective for the UC system.
  16. Canzano and Wilner interviewed Kliavkoff on episode 8 of their new podcast. Most interesting points: 1) Kliavkoff thinks UCLA will lose money on a move to the B1G due to the increase in travel costs; 2) he doesn't think any other teams are leaving; and 3) he has not given up on UCLA changing their minds and staying in the Pac.
  17. don't do that, Beavs. I want a reason to believe in Smith's rebuild.
  18. I can b I can believe that. So lame if true.
  19. Wonder if Oregon's win over the buckeyes last year played a roll in their vote against expansion.
  20. Personally, i would really prefer an outcome where Utah was in the same conference with UW. I have enjoyed what the Utes have added. Good football and good fan culture in an interesting state.
  21. Man, if you believe half of MHver3's twitter feed, there are some wild negotiations going on right now that are not in the press. I actually stopped following him, thinking it was mostly bs. I have no clue though.
