I didn't realize college football fantasy leagues were a thing but while looking through the Fantasy Football magazine from Athlon Sports I saw Texas State QB Brad Jackson listed as the top ranked QB! He even got the coveted photo spot.

Since he and Arch Manning are playing each other this Saturday that could be one helluva game to watch!

Quote from this article, "That’s not how the Pac-12 sees it, still believing despite the massive reshuffle in members, it belongs at the highest tier of college sports, even if those outside say otherwise.

“You'll hear us talk a lot about being a top-five conference,” Gould said. “What we don't control are these kind of power monikers that are used in the media that you know are kind of ambiguous in terms of what that really means. We're in this place where we're going to control what we can control and create our own lane. But what we know is that we're a top-five league, and the results on the field will show that.” “We stand right there with everyone else,” Griffin added.

“We'll see, but I absolutely believe that it's in one of those top-five conferences. You call it Power Five with the Pac-12? I believe that,” Danielson said. “Now we have to go prove that, right?”

Shephard is talking like he’s not in charge of these decisions, seems odd

“Aiden Sullivan, as of right now, I haven’t been told he can’t go on Saturday,” Shephard said. “So we’re planning to have him there on Saturday.”

“Exodus Ayers, I don’t really have any information on him,” Shephard said Monday. “Only because it’s kind of an ongoing situation with him. So, he’s got some rights and things that he has at his disposal and, as far as it pertains to us in the university, look, I’ve got to let that play out however it does.”

SDSU now has a jersey patch like most Pac-12 teams.

5 great wins in a row -

UTRGV 4-1

A&M 3-2

#6 Baylor 3-1

East Texas A&M 2-0

Texas Southern 5-0

I hope this dominance carries into conference play this is huge for TXST and the energy surrounding athletics on campus is at a major high right now.

Very glad to see it!

Personally think that Fresno State might have a better chance to upset USC than BSU vs Oregon, Texas State vs Texas, Oregon State vs UH and Washington State at Washington.

Do you guys think there will be a conference wide jersey patch like the monster energy big12 (lol), but for the Pac12.

Or, will we continue seeing unique jersey patch deals for our individual schools?

Went to halftime 0-0, storm rolls in and destroys camera, tech difficulties delay the stream, and then our captain gets sent off. This season has been something.

The amount of posts or comments on this sub focusing on here on former PAC 12 schools just seems absurd and out of place. Let’s focus on our new conference and our schools. Instead of coming off like an obsessive ex about former PAC 12 schools and the MWC. It’s just makes us look bad.

Bill’s being intentionally provocative with the headline, but he shares a good perspective from his conversation with Griffin (who, admittedly, never knew the version of Oregon State most of us grew up with):

“The answer is not money,” Griffin said. “The money certainly helps, but the answer is relationships and people.”

“That’s quaint and comes across as borderline naïve. But if you believe, like Griffin does, like I do, that there is a bubble to college football, you must at least consider that schools that have prioritized culture, education and development will be well-positioned when the system collapses.”

All the talk from UNLV fans that said that the Pac-12 was a lateral move from the Mountain West and did all that talking just to lose in Week 0 and have their playoffs hope basically gone.

Yeah, karma has come and it ain't pretty.

San Jose State vs USC: SJSU has a snowball’s chance in hell of winning here, but if they do I want to witness the miracle. Also FUSC

North Dakota State vs Jacksonville State: While JSU is far from a difficult test, it’ll be interesting to see how NDSU performs at the FBS level week after week.

Stanford vs Hawaii: I just like these two teams

UNLV vs Memphis: G6 playoff implications in what will be UNLV’s toughest opponent all year. If the Rebels win here they have a decent path to 13-0 against a weak remaining OOC (Akron, Cal, UNT) and a gutted Mountain West.

Watching San Jose get absolutely smoked in the first half and no longer having to care. I know we’re staring down the barrel at a tough week 1 for the PAC but I believe in all of you. I believe we’re all on a trajectory to improve with fan bases that care.

San Jose will never get better. Their fans do not care and did not show up. Feels good to be rid of that energy.

Definitely not the only or biggest problem with the Beavers football team last season, but Ayers being benched by Scott Barnes just hours before the season opener didn’t help.

Guess what? We’re doing it again…. Sigh

Per James Crepea, “Changes are coming to Gill Coliseum. Whether that means renovating the 77-year old arena, which hosts Oregon State men’s and women’s basketball, gymnastics, volleyball and wrestling events, or building a new facility is a decision athletic director Kevin Griffin and his new executive team will have a large say in determining.

Griffin said OSU director of facilities Sam Koken ‘had some folks come through and do a walkthrough’ at Gill this week.
