The unofficial online home for fans of the Pac-12 Conference. Part of Collegiate Sports Nation (CSN).

Figured there’d be some discussions going on. Y’all have some pretty good games starting Friday night. I figured this page would start to wake up a bit this week.

I hope so but seems to still be off a lot of radars.

Lot's of games against top teams to start off the season, one major upset would be nice.

I was going to wait until Thursday to put up an all conference thread.

As for traffic, I've tried. I keep posting the link on the Facebook page but this is going to be tough since all of the other schools had individual team sites and no unity, even amongst all of the MW schools.

It's not a ready made thing like the SBC site and I bet they had a time for it of a few years, too. It's not like all of these schools were in one place, then just moved to another.

I'll keep working it as long as I am mentally and physically able.

Plus the SBC is probably the most tightknit conference in college sports. The main issue with the PAC-12 is there are teams that have aspirations and would get looks if the P4 came calling.

The PAC is most assuredly Not a close knit conference. More a collection of mercenaries, all with their eyes on the door. And should a more “attractive” conference so much as bat an eyelash at any of these “conference mates,” they’d be out that door in a New York minute.

That’s a good point, will the new PAC be together along enough for teams to gain a relationships and build rivalries? When alumni groups don’t even cross paths it’s hard to have feelings one way or another about conference mates. As well as everyone wanting the conference to change before they even got there.

Bring on the Apple Cart, or whatever that rivalry is called.

It’s the Apple CUP, presented by iOS 26.6.1

TXST had a great time in the SBC but never build a real rival and they sure as heck won't in the Pac-12. But we are used to it at this point and schedule Texas heavy for OOC. Texas, UTSA, UNT, and UIW this year.

I appreciate yall trying to get this going.

I would imagine you at least had some alumni cross paths on Houston with ULaLa alumni. Hopefully you guys will have some Texas mates soon enough in the PAC.

There are some UL folks here in Houston. They aren't as noisy as the LSU ones. At my job it is mostly the Aggies, Tech, Kansas (we are a KC based firm), and Houston.

But I have a GS alum in our ATL office I am friends with. Stuff like that is fun. But we have fewer west coast offices so I need to see who I can find to talk trash to now. Luckily my wife is from SoCal and has a ton of family out there. I can talk her into trips (when it works around the kids school). So getting to SDSU and Fresno is easy. We just got back from Sequoia National Park and I never realized its maybe 1.5 hours or less from Fresno. And it is my wifes favorite place. So plan to use that to get to Fresno (never thought I would say those words). She has SDSU fans in her family that many went to Long Beach or UCSB.
