Quack 12 Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 On 4/18/2023 at 3:40 PM, HLB said: SEC schools don't play three OOC stiffs at home every year. And why don't you tell me why the PAC12 won't go to an 8 game conference schedule? So why don't PAC12 teams play OOC opponents that would require them to travel across country every year? Why do they play OOC opponents across country about once every two years (at best) and most of the time, once every three years? Last year, 'Bama played Utah State, Louisiana-Monroe and Austin Peay, and traveled to Texas (hardly cross country.) In 2021, they played Miami, Mercer, Southern Miss and NMSU, all at home. Skip the COVID season. In 2019, they played Duke, NMSU, Southern Miss and Western Carolina, all at home. Auburn 2022, Mercer, San Jose State, Penn State and Western Kentucky, all at home. 2021: Akron, Alabama State, @ Penn State and Georgia State. I could go on, but clearly you're wrong. This is what SEC teams do. I don't know why the PAC-12 doesn't go back to eight games. Oregon proved you can get Slippery Rock to come across the country for a one and done, if you pay enough money. I say play the game the way the SEC does, which is also BS, but when in Rome. Why should the PAC-12 travel across country every year? Obviously, SEC schools rarely travel across country. I believe Florida plays at Utah this year, which except for BYU, is the furthest they've traveled in decades. Over the past couple of decades, Oregon has convinced Mississippi State and Tennessee to play a home-and-home series. They scheduled Georgia, but the Bulldogs pulled out. That's it. The SEC doesn't leave the south if they can help it. Hell they don't leave home if they can help it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clancy Pendergast has been the DC since the Stanford game. But because he's an analyst, he's unable to coach at practice, which makes everything even more shittier on D.

Yeah, the program is looking superb with the new stadium, better talent, a top-tier coach, coming off a 10-win season, etc. There is the small matter of our conference disintegrating and literally ZERO people in sports speaking up to give a shit about where Oregon St. lands, but I guess you can't have nothing but good news in this life. This new stadium could end up as the coolest Corvallis Public Parks venue within 10 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
