The Pac whatever

is absolutely pitiful! Just flipped to the Arizona/UCLA game....48-12 Arizona. They're in Arizona...the home team is winning and the stands are empty....and before the last kickoff....they were rocking Boston's "More Than a Feeling."

Captivating TV....a fine product you have there Larry Scott!!! Are they really a major conference?!?!?

Well, it is Thursday. (I haven't turned on the game, so I don't know how many people are there.)

I caught the last 4 minutes. They said it was Arizona's first win against an FBS opponent in 355 days. You'd have thought their fans would have relished a 48-12 victory over a California school. Neuheisel can't be long for UCLA. I don't get why OU/OSU would have entertained going to that waste of a conference.

It's shocking that a 1-5 team, having just fired its coach, would not have a sellout for a televised Thursday night game.

They had a shot of the stands and there was 1 girl sitting by herself and no one within 20 rows of her.

The PAC got a massive TV deal and the network must salivate for such a riveting matchup...yeah, it's Thursday night, but that was pitiful.

With USC hurting, the Pac 12 South is a joke. Brock Osweiler, and that's it.

The crowd was pretty full until halftime. AZ was up 42-7 at the break. I'm guessing some of the patrons headed out at that point.

I noticed that in a shot from earlier in the game. I guess that's what makes it baffling that a fanbase that has gone 355 days without a win over an FBS opponent wouldn't want to watch a blowout.

What's shocking is that the game would even be on TV at all, especially opposite the World Series. For the life of me, I cannot figure out how Larry Scott was able to finagle such a huge contract for such a crappy bunch of garbage teams whose games kickoff after over half the country has gone to bed.

LOL I saw that.

It was selected before the season started, like all weeknight games. Yeah, you could have figured that Arizona wouldn't have a great record just by looking at their schedule. But the mid-season firing? No way to plan for that.

I'm sure there will be people asking similar questions on Nov. 18 regarding ISU-OSU.

It's the Pac 12...pretty simple concept!

At least Okie St is a top 10 team. People tune in to watch top 10 teams, pretty much regardless of who they are playing. UCLA/Arizona? Not so much. One team is already looking for a coach, and the other one will be very soon.
