Sucks to see the Beavs go down the same way we did.

Cats are good. They'll beat UCLA, probably Colorado, and if they beat Utah in a few weeks they'll likely finish the year 9-3 and reamed in the top 20. It's a tough loss, but not a particularly bad loss.
 
I have a picture of my daughter storming the field last night. Was interesting, first game I have ever been where the students storm the field. They made an announcement that the students had to wait 60 seconds after the game clock expired then they were allowed. I assume that was to give the opposing team a chance to get off the field and avoid any conflicts

You take the easy 3 points with 2 seconds left on the clock from the 17 yard line to end the half. This is basic football. Even More so on the road.
Loss is on Smith.

Can't disagree. I imagine he will take the blame too. When's his next interview?

Hey, not trying to tell anyone what to do, but it makes it easier when you hit reply. I went back 10 posts and saw nothing as to what you are commenting to. Perhaps folks treat message threads like chat threads. You can't reply in a chat thread....just add your thoughts. Anyway, sad the Beavs took a loss, but reality is Zona is coming on.

good. nobody wants to coach osu. hope he’s stuck and has to keep osu solid, even if unspectacular. like he did as a player. osu will always be second fiddle to oregon. especially now in the pac-2.
 
Seriously though, who will OSU play next year? Not easy to fill a schedule this late. I think they should do a home and away vs WSU like in basketball. That will take care of 5 games.

the assumption has been that OSU/WSU would complete a scheduling agreement with the MWC. They still might but a big part of the assumption would be that the incentive for MWC teams would be the opportunity to eventually join a reformatted PAC in two years when the current MWC media deal expires. A bigger brand might mean a better future media deal (although that has seemed a bit of a stretch)

The problem is that OSU/WSU don't have clear sailing anymore to keep the PAC alive because it appears the 10 departing PAC teams are willing to fight in court about the distribution of PAC assets and future revenues. And a legal battle could take years and essentially kill OSU/WSU dreams of keeping the PAC alive because the NCAA imposes a 2 year deadline on reformatting a conference

and the longer it takes, the harder it becomes for the MWC teams to cancel scheduled games and rearrange their season schedules, bumping all the other teams to other dates on the schedule. That's not an easy task considering it's less than 10 months till when the 2024 season starts. OSU/WSU might be able to apply to the NCAA fro an Hawaii exception allowing the teams to play 13 games. But I've read in a couple of places that some of the MWC teams won't agree with that because it would eliminate their in-season bye

reportedly, the 10 departing teams and OSU/WSU are engaged in arbitration right now. But there's really no pressure on the 10 departing teams while there is seriously mounting pressure on OSU/WSU to settle so they can start to plan their futures. They need some finality. The 10 departing teams don't. And, the UofW has filed a lawsuit claiming, since they are in the state of Washington, they have the same right as WSU does in state court. This is a pretty obvious legal strategy because if the judge, a WSU alum and a past president of the WSU booster club denies the UofW claim, the path is wide open for the UofW to appeal to a state appellate court or to file to move the lawsuit to federal court. Moving it to federal court would be a disaster for OSU/WSU

there is probably room for compromise but iw would probably take OSU/WSU to stop operating from a deep sense of grievance.
