Scscsc89 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Jon isn’t even that good at the financial stuff. In all his dozens of articles about how bad the P12 revenue stream is compared to the other conferences, I don’t ever recall him tackling, “Is there anything they can do about it?” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scscsc89 Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Depends how you define it — ESPN and the Athletic have some writers who cover the P12 Beat. Then there’s John Canzano in Oregon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAC MAN Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 As a CU fan, I appreciate Jon Wilner & John Canzano because during CU's time in the Big 12, David Ubben was the ESPN Big 12 beat writer and he pretty much ignored CU because he was in bed with Bevo. I'd say those two are pretty much all the P12 has but an upgrade from what the Big 12 had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Losing Wilson to the Jets probably will hit BYU hard and no one outside of AZ seems like they are taking UA football seriously this year. SDSU might be tough but you think UA could open 3-0 in this case before going to Eugene? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently BYU has graduated a bunch of starters? Would love to see the wildcats start the season with an upset win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love a AZ win. The line is -10 BYU on a neutral field. I hope you know some AZ secrets but BYU will be solid. Their only question is QB.

UA seems to be trending in the right direction, except they're choosing to play two QB's in game one. That never seems to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That never seems to work. Rarely works. It did work during the Desert Storm era with Ortege Jenkins and Mike Smith. I wouldn't be surprised if one of them shows to be the option early and remains in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scorcho Posted August 31, 2021 Author Share Posted August 31, 2021 my work shifted home since the pandemic so I always try and put something on in the background while I pretend to listen to meetings. Today on the Pac12 Network Oregon St was on playing Notre Dame in the 2001 Fiesta Bowl. Couple of observations: - Chad Johnson running for a TD for the Beavs flipped the ball back at around the 2 yard line and the officials missed it - Dennis Erickson coached the Beavs, Bob Davie coached the Irish and Urban Meyer was a WR coach for Bob Davie - it was still an era of over-sized shoulder pads, the QB for the Irish might have been wearing a neck roll - Beavers owned the Irish, Davie looked embarassed.
