Wow! Which Casino do you own in "The Biggest Little City in the World"? And when are you going to pay for that finished West Side, so we can have RenoBeaver field at Reser Stadium?  Has a nice ring to it 
If I owned a casino I'd bankrupt it 4 times and become POTUS, then make OSU the "National" University and Benny the "National" mascot. Taxpayers would not only fund Reser, they'd pay to rebuild Gil, which I haven't been in since I was in HS in the 80s. I imagine it still has that same old building smell it did back then, which actually was a cool thing.
Recently relocated to Reno from Las Vegas. Didn't own a casino there either, although my wife still works for Wynn
You seem to be quite a proud booster. Go Beavs!! |

That was a tongue in cheek comment. Truth, I haven't been to a game in Corvallis because Ive lived 1000 miles away, I own my own 24 hour a day business, have a kid that lived in a different city I needed to visit twice a month for 16 years, not to mention a wife and two other kids playing sports and doing the usual kid stuff. I went to the games in Eugene because I got free tix and sat in a private catered box, or just happened to be in Oregon visiting family and the game was in Eugene. If I had the time I'd be at Reser at least once a year. Have a ton of friends that are season ticket holders. I know that doesn't qualify me as a true beaver fan like cheesedick, but I respect the hardcoreness. Well, in all fairness, without the name calling, you did say, and I believe the acronym stands for “for the record” , “FTR I've never stepped foot in Reser, waiting for them to finish the stadium..”. So, there’s that. It's the "waiting for them to finish the stadium" part I figured people would get was a joke.
And, FTR, I think BC is one of the most entertaining posters here. Not TIC

You seem to be quite a proud booster. Go Beavs!! Imagine how proud I would be if I went to Oregon State more than one year, or dare say, graduated from there.
But I am and always will be a Beav, got my bright orange Beaver license plate, wear some variation of an OSU T shirt to the gym regularly, make my kids watch everything Beavers. Even my Socal wife wears OSU gear all the time, and she couldn't find Corvallis on a map of Oregon. Her favorite bikini is a white OSU one, which is way hotter than any green and yellow one.
Anyway, this was supposed to be a conversation about Pac 12 playing 9AM games. I personally think the gimmick fails in the long run. The majority of the best games on TV start at the 1 PM and 4PM slot anyway (4 and 7 ET). With maybe a small handful of east coast 12 PM games. Unless the Pac 12 is going to put up their best match-up every week, I don't see it moving the needle much. OSU at Cal isn't gonna generate much interest unless one or both are ranked.
Going to an 8 game schedule moves the needle (nationally - more likely Pac 12 teams make playoffs), but that kinda foresight has been lacking in the Pac 12 offices since, well, it became the Pac 12.

Going to an 8-game league schedule is going against the grain. The Big Ten and Big 12 have a nine-game league schedule. The ACC is moving in that direction.
I've always believed you should push your product to the best market to consume your product. For a West Coast-based league, that would mean getting your product to West Coast customers at the optimal time. That is not 9 a.m. for football, it's between noon-6 p.m. If that means that 2-3 games start at noon or 1 p.m. and 2-3 start at 3:30-4 p.m. and are televised on different networks at the same time, so be it.
Why anyone at the Pac-12 gives a s%#t about East Coast TV viewers is beyond me. They do not spend one dime supporting Pac-12 football. Tailor your product toward the people most likely to be customers, and make it convenient for fans to attend in person.

I’m not necessarily thrilled with 9:00am.... but whatever. Better than 8:00pm. I don’t live in Corvallis. And I do have season tickets. Whatever the answer.... the PAC is in trouble, and if the universities want to remain P5. Or P3. Or P1-P2..... there are some massive decisions that need to be made. 9:00am football games is not one of them. |

Not sure how starting games at 9 a.m. translates into more money for the conference.

Tailor your product toward the people most likely to be customers, and make it convenient for fans to attend in person. The Pac 12 has been doing it the right way since it added 2 teams. Unfortunately that comes at a price of an extra loss As for the Big 14, Rutgers and Md diluted the product, and the teams in the West have always been the weaker of the two. I'm not a proponent of an 8 game conf. schedule, but it levels the playing field until everyone else catches up. |

Yet here you are, for third time today First actually. Second now, but I think you misinterpreted my post. Poor attempt at humor poking fun at all the acronyms. First ones I thought of. No meaning. Carry on. |

This thread is not going to end well. and yet I can't turn away. RenoBeaver needs to provide some household bikini pictures to finish off this thread. *it's the silly (slow) season. Pretty soon we will have practice reports and route running and rumors of bulk added and lost. |

I live in MST and just got Saturdays off for the first time... 10 AM sounds good to me! Granted, I’d hate it if still driving distance to come in-person.
