Wazzu-Nevada moved to Friday so it can be televised. Yay

Oh, and former Boise State RB Aaron Balthazar is transferring to Wazzu

Good to see CCG go neural. Levi's makes the most sense of any of the potential sites. I think they'll do a rotation with Qwest, Univ of Phoenix and maybe Mile High. I don't really see any other stadiums that could house it in the footprint.

Yeah, I just don't like that the CCG is on a Friday. But the conference is hand tied with their TV deal.

Friday is an awful day for a CCG. Screams minor league. Makes it harder for team fans to travel especially if you have socal team in it. If it's Saturday they could drive up Friday after work. Pathetic they do that.

Exactly. Going up against the MAC (not a hater on some MACtion but come on) on a Friday night is so lame. And like you said, the travel will be brutal.

Saw that the the day of the CCG goes 2014 Fri, 2015 Sat, 2016 Fri the next 3 years.

The one good thing is the Bay Area has easily the most alumni of any of the logical sites. I also think 49ers Season Ticket holders will have the chance to add tickets to their plan which should help a bit as well. The weather shouldn't be terrible which is another plus and SF is extremely easy to get to.

I just again hate the Friday aspect of it. I know they don't want the situation that happened last year (H2H with ACC and B1G titles which both had major national title implications) but Friday screams minor league and makes travel for out of towners very hard.

it's a conference shampship, not a furd/asu Shampship. asu had the best record in the league outright.

the whole thing was already fucked. this just is the icing on the "brand" shitsticle.

I have ATT U-Verse and if ATT/DirecTV merger goes through I imagine it would help.

Some of the P12Net start times are brutal. Oregon has a 11am kickoff. What a joke.

So evidently the Pac-12's solution to try and stop having 3 games a week start after 10 ET on ESPN is to create a 11 am PT slot.

This will be great for attendance.

How good for exposure is it going to be when there are 15k in the 90k Rose Bowl for a 11 am game because no student wants to go to a FB game that early/the traffic is terrible/people are still tailgaiting/1000 other reasons?

Ugh. College kids are barely waking up at 11 and I'll only be on my fourth beer in LOT H. Luckily the Bruins already have 5 game times announced. I see this hopefully as a CU/AZ/ASU time slot more than anything else even though Oregon already has a game scheduled at 11 AM.

First things first, I'm going to Aloha Stadium in 2019 for the first leg of Arizona's home-and-home with Hawaii.

:thumbsup:

My first time in Hawaii was to go see USC's opener against the Warriors in 1999. Went with my future wife and soon-to-be in-laws. About the most fun I'd ever had on a vacation.

It's good for the east coast, so its cool with me.

It's a great idea by the Pac-12: start a game at 11 am PT in front of zero crowds so the end of the game can go against the SEC Game of the Week on CBS.

larry scott is a visionary. who else would have thought of a 12 team conference with a shampship game and a shitty, barely accessible cable network in the year 2014?

utah and colorado pwn.

It might be bad for attendance, but Scott is probably right for exposure, and that matters more in the end, doesn't it?

They late slot made it hard for people east of the Rockies to watch them, especially when it was after SEC/Big 10 games and people already had their football fix and a few beers. If you put it on early, they will get more attention. I mean if you live east of the Rockies and you already watched the late afternoon/early evening prime time games, what are you going to do with the rest of your Saturday night? Go out and do something, or watch another football game from teams out west that you don't really care about? My guess is that fans south/east are more likely to watch a PAC 10 game before the SEC game, being in that anticipating football mood, rather than watch the PAC 10 after the prime time games. It's like sex, anticipation is sometimes better than the thing itself, and round two isn't nearly as good as the first.

The best part of the FSN broadcasts was the music. Man, they got that right. So much better than whatever ESPN throws out there with some crappy band. Sometimes I think ESPN is marketing to 12 year olds.
