Not from me buddy. This isn't my board, and I am respectful of that. If you want to talk shit and call WSU fans dumb, come on over to my board and have at it. Cougs are always happy to banter with folks from UNR Southern. We are in awe of your esteemed history. I mean shit, WSU had only been around for 70 years when Nevada Southern got its start.

Wikipedia: The first college classes, which eventually became the classes of UNLV, were offered as the southern regional extension division of the University of Nevada in 1959 in a classroom at Las Vegas High School.

Respect for Rebel-Net prevents me from going on. And I remain optimistic that we will soon be conference mates. Even if you have to bring your mothership UNR with you....

Do you think she should have played nice and rolled over? Also, the 4 that left signed off on the negotiations and agreed to the poaching provision. Gloria’s job was to protect the MWC and its members. Not cater to the PAC 2 or Boise and the 3 that left without a TV deal in place and no clue as to future revenue. Smart move by the PAC 2! Now they will find out what their true value is in the market place…..same as the MWC they just left because they are all G5 schools and they will get paid accordingly.

Well it wasn't a full fledged field rushing, just a bunch of (likely drunk) students who sat there for over 4 hours and watched us come back from 14 down in with about 10 minutes left. Sorry if we have excitable fans. I suppose politely clapping from their seats would have been more civilized.

how do you guys thumb your noses at SJSU with a non invite? Lol

dcut03 said:

Last year was a little weird where all other G5 teams had several losses. Other than Tulane, JMU, etc. To Bulls point, a 1 loss or even 2 loss team would have taken their spot. And for the playoff their ranking system is supposed to have heavy wight on strength of schedule.
Most major power teams like to duck tough noncon games. And they usually go for other P4 teams if they do. Not a lot of benefit for those teams to schedule a tough G5 that they could easily lose to.
Most of our schedule was made when we sucked or was just G5 mediocre. It may be tough to really raise that.
Even so 3 games against decent teams with 6 against scrubs makes the SOS tank.
Bottom line, we really don't want to be on the outside looking in.

Maybe Gloria was a little smarter than she is being given credit for? I would play hard ball if I were her. Take us ALL or fork up the $115 mill. Also, I will be the new Commissioner of the NEW PAC!

Can't be mad. Unfortunately its the college sports landscape that has changed so much allowing this to happen. It has to stabilize at some point, but IMO, everyone is looking out for themselves, as they should. It just sucks that its blowing up regional rivalries and causing chaos in all of the conferences.

@Loyal Coug1 whats the thoughts from your board on these AAC schools? The $25 million buyout for each school being discussed is pretty high. Seems like South Florida may be out. Would Memphis or Tulane be willing to come by themselves if the other doesn't come? Would UTSA be invited if the other 3 don't come? What if all 4 AAC schools say, yes, we're interested, but not until 2027, which is later than the PAC needs the 8 schools?

First of all my Coug board brethren are mostly dimwits. They are reluctant to opine on this mess. My worldly perspectives are all that matters.

I have not, and am not, in favor of offering any AAC school, and the recent news that their exit fees would be damn near as much as the MW poaching+exit fee is music to my ears. I don't want to be in a league with members 2,000 miles away. And a hard no on USF. Way too far. I wish we could turn the clock back and do the "dissolve and take the top 9" or the full reverse merger. Spending shitloads of our money in this current scenario sucks.

And good point on the 2027 notion. My current position is that we bite the financial bullet further and take UNLV and one other. After last night's game I kind of like SJSU. Get to 8, stand pat, and then talk to these AAC schools without any timeline pressure.

What do OSU and WSU qualify as for the playoff format this year? Do they get one of the "P5" spots as a conference winner? I'm guessing they dont, so in that case, would they be considered a G5 team, and need to be the highest ranked G5? I'm a bit unclear on where they fall in this

Loyal Coug1 said:

Meany. Not our fault Gloria (per reports) tried to jack us by doubling the fee for the already shitty scheduling alliance. If you want to be mad, be mad at your 4 traitors. Then collect your share of the poaching money and withheld distributions from the traitors, and then accept our invite later in the year. In the meantime, figure out who should join you, AF, Wyoming, SJSU, USU, or Reno. I guess in that order. SJSU looked great last night. But WTF is the deal with their stadium plans? Isn't it down to 20K now?
