    Zero chance and full confidence, huh. Reynolds gets hurt and can’t start the year and he’s getting cut. Reynolds gets arrested for doing something dumb and he’s getting cut. Reynolds gets suspended by the NFL for gambling and he’s getting cut. Zero chance and full confidence means no qualifiers.

    That wouldn’t be a surprise. He’s a bust pick from the old regime. I expect Jonah Jackson will be the only player left from the 2020 draft on this roster. I’ll throw one surprise out. Josh Reynolds.

    It will be a Hollywood ending when Caleb Williams wins his 2nd Heisman and leads USC to the PAC-12’s only title of the playoff era.

    They are Anzalonian.

    A 20 team conference is uncharted territory. I don’t see the 2 big divisions working in anyone’s best interest. It’s just how we’ve always done things in the past so it’s natural to start there. I’m not seeing how it’s possible to avoid a massive disparity in conference SoS between teams. The problem is there is no easy solution. Ideally, there would be a 2 week, 4 team playoff to determine conference champion but how would that work and get scheduled. Could a professional style or 4 divisions of 5 teams work? Who knows but this will all have to get figured out and it’s no easy task.

    Dude, this is an incredible idea! Even cooler is since it’s the Rose Bowl parade maybe all the floats are made from rose petals.

    A brilliant idea.

    Great move scooping up your season tickets. I know I personally questioned the rationale for anyone getting seasons but they do have great value if the team is good and tickets are expensive and hard to find on the secondary market.

    If you have a free 90 minutes, the latest Inside The Den on YouTube is out and it’s unreal. Amazing insight on the picks and how the team viewed them. Great work from the Lions media team. Spoiler: They viewed this as a weak draft. They only had 14 players with first round grades and they ended up with 4 of them.

    Nothing wrong with that at all. The reality is we are dealing with so many unknowns regarding what’s really happened with Erod that any opinion is based on so much assumption that may or may not turn out to be true in the future.

    Pennant race still means the battle for the playoffs
  12. Hongbit
    ERod has shown in his 2 years here that he only cares about what’s best for him. The team is secondary. That won’t change if the Tigers sign him to a long term deal. I’m not sure why thats a good idea for a young team trying to build a solid winning foundation for the future. As Mike Singletary said “Can’t win with those guys”

    It’s about wanting to compete and win. That should mean something as an athlete. If it doesn’t then he’s just cashing paychecks. I’m not understanding the first part about honor in a pennant. The most important 1/3 of the season still remains and any marquee player traded today will have a big impact on if their new team makes the playoffs. It’s not like someone’s just getting added to the roster at the end of the season, the pennant race is just getting started.

    But we don’t know it either of these things are true. Nobody outside still knows the reason for last year and we don’t know if the reason for turning down this trade was for his love of the Tigers and wanting to stay here. What we do know is that he went awol for an extended period of time last year, and he chose not to compete in the pennant race this year.
  15. Hongbit
    How can they possibly commit longterm to him? He went AWOL last year and neglected to communicate with the team. Still, they stood by him and even paid him without challenge. This year, he refuses a trade to play for a contender in a playoff race. How can any competitive athlete just straight out reject the opportunity to play meaningful games in a playoff race? Mind boggling. This guy is a piece of work and is not someone that you build a culture of winning around. They are best to just take the draft pick and let this headcase be someone else’s problem in the future.
  16. Hongbit
    Hoping now for a Dylan Cease trade to the NL. That should account for 2 extra Tigers wins next year.

    It’s become such a racket. I agree with everything you said and I’m also in the same boat. $1200 a month and still paying bills at the doctors

    Even more they had the chance to swallow the B12 in 2011 and didn’t do it for non-football reasons.

    It’s a JV with Fox Sports.

    This is certainly true but it’s not why the PAC-12 is in this position. It is 100% related to the absolutely train wreck leadership of former commissioner Larry Scott. He was brought over from the Women’s Tennis tour to run the conference and proceeded to destroy it instead. All the while he lined his pockets and pretended to be a media and contract expert. The decision to keep the Pac-12 network internal and it bring on a partner was monumentally bad. They took on all of the expenses and overhead to get it off the ground and ended up costing the conference hundreds of millions versus taking on a media partner like all the conferences did for their networks. He conned the University presidents for a decade before the pitiful results were so oblivious that he had to go. The new guy has been on board for a year and was brought into an untenable situation and couldn’t save it.

    Im not sure what the options are for the remainders. Oregon, Washington, Stanford, and Cal are all stuck without much leverage. Maybe the B10 reconsiders but that seems more like wishful thinking. Wazzu and Oregon State are really screwed as the only option outside the existing PAC would be to step down to full G5 level in the Mountain West.

    Somewhere Bill Walton is crying on his tie-dye. Have to assume that ASU and Utah won’t be far behind.
  23. Hongbit
    Stanford is a blip on the radar of the Bay Area sports scene. They have an aging fanbase that is almost entirely alumni. They don’t really attract much from the regular sports fan in the Bay. USC probably has close to the same appeal locally. The stadium is at least half full of Trojans whenever they play up there. It’s one thing for Oregon State and Wazzu to draw 30k fans in their small rural locations but to do that in a major metro area like Stanford has done is telling at how little impact they have.

    Haase needs to find a new profession
  25. Hongbit
    This is on Harris at this point. Needs to DFA Haase or else AJ will keep using him in the absolute worst spots
