Wondering too would they eventually go after UNLV and/or Nevada (Reno)?

Indeed definitely a blow to our brothers up north.

Random thoughts

Do Cal / Stanford perhaps decide to go back (so most of their conference games in all sports aren’t 3 time zones away)?

Perhaps Air Force next to move over?

Obviously a blow to the Mountain West losing several key members.

Aggies fans and team will be fired up for our first visit up there in some time. But while Logan fans do a great job of cheering for their team, it isn’t nearly as unfriendly a place to visit as Provo is.

Saw many fans walking up the aisles carrying about half a dozen bottles of Dasani. Saw fans with armfuls of the frozen lemonades too. My allowed liter of water I took into the game was empty by half time when my father and I went under the bleachers to escape the sun for a bit. Nearest Hydration station was too far away to even try to get to…[Read more]

Worst case scenario playing in the middle of the day in late summer. Lots of fans on the concourse to try to get a break from the sun at halftime, and huge lines at the water filling stations.

Helps our SOS to have some of the conference do well against non-conference opponents. BYU winning at SMU helps us even though I find it difficult to pull for them.

Doesn’t have as strong a defense behind him but it would be hilarious if he pulled it off again.

Barnes played admirably against the Trojans when he wore the red and white. But this will be a tough test tomorrow.

I don’t care for taking the ‘surprise onside kick’ out of the game

How does Randy Marsh (inventor of Sarcastic Ball) feel about these changes?

Would imagine due to about a century of tradition, the Rose Bowl parade and game will remain on Jan 1, no matter what teams / conferences are involved.

Felt strange not being able get up Sunday morning and not able to turn on the Pac12 network to see highlights of the conference games from the weekend.

One of the wifi boxes happens to be located under our bench.

Usually huge numbers of Utah fans up on the east stands at the game.

Wish work commitments didn’t keep me from going this year (would need to trade shifts for a hone game weekend) and it is always an enjoyable trip.

Lot of new faces. Hate all the turnover that will be part of college sports now with NIL making pretty much every player the equivalent of an unrestricted free agent each spring.

Unless we somehow make it to the Big Dance in March (not really optimistic that will happen) likely his last season.

But will be there sitting in the Hunty and…[Read more]

I was on a few Big12 boards for a short time, left as there were way too many negative “fans” (or people posing as them) from the 2 Wasatch Front schools, but while there it became apparent listening to all the fan bases that they feel they have the worst officials in the land.

Before November, 6PM as it’s more of an atmosphere at night and you don’t get home too late. Not fond of 8PM as you get home well after midnight and it’s quite inconvenient for the east coast fans.

Late in the year, 1PM, just as it’s warmer when the sun is still up.

I do wish they could have the schedule set in advance rather than finding out…[Read more]

I pay lots of $$$$ (at least for my modest income it is a lot) and we are there well before the start of the game. We then stay until the end no matter what the weather is like or the outcome of the game. Why pay all that cash then not watch the entire performance?

Curious to me too is that many of the tailgating crowd make such a long day of…[Read more]

Weekday games are tough for those that can’t take a day off (like I can). At least start time is 7 for this one.

We beat the T-birds by something like 60 last time didn’t we? Will be more excited next week for the Bears.

The real test will some during time outs and half time when large parts of the crowd are checking scores of other games and stats for our game.
