MrBug708 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 If you're Tony Bennett, and you get the call that the AP voted you Coach of the Year...how much do you want to tell them to give the award to the runner-up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KUGRDON Posted March 29, 2018 Author Share Posted March 29, 2018 Eh, I think it’s his third win and his best job of coaching in his career. But yes he probably won’t celebrate it. Second time winning AP, it was another national COY he won three times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that California, indeed the West Coast, is less than enthusiastic about college sports as measured by SEC standards, but Cal’s attendance in light of potential audience is an outlier. Deeper problems than general California apathy. Yeah, Sonny Dykes. Wilcox isn't nearly as sexy of a hire as say a Chip Kelly. It takes time and winning to bring in a California crowd that has far better things to do on weekends than spend 4-6 hours watching crappy football. Cal was top 4 in the confernece in attendance during most of the Tedford years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Tedford's last year, Cal improved to 6th in attendance in the conference with their newly freshened digs, moving up from their 11th place the year before when they played at AT&T park.

Yeah, those were the two worst years of Tedford. AT&T Park only holds about 40k. Memorial Stadium holds about 66k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoastFan Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Given that this apparently is the "doesn’t fit anywhere else" thread, I'll toss out a question that I've been wondering about. The Big Ten has a policy of only having AAU (Association of American Universities) in their conference, although they were embarrassed by Nebraska, which lost their AAU status shortly after being admitted into the conference. The other conference that places a high value on academic standing of its members is the Pac-12. Right now, eight of the twelve Pac-12 member have AAU status. The AAU embraces leading research universities devoted to maintaining a strong system of academic research and education. My question is whether there are efforts underway for the four Pac-12 schools without that standing to gain it. Pac-12 Schools in the AAU and Year of Admission: Stanford (1900 -- charter member) California (1900 -- charter member) Washington (1950) Colorado (1966) Oregon (1969) USC (1969) UCLA (1974) Arizona (1985) Pac-12 Schools not in the AAU: Utah Arizona State Oregon State Washington State Is there any move by Utah, ASU, OSU, and/or WSU to gain AAU status?

He was kinda hoping he'd only get into one of Harvard or Stanford, to make the decision easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
