No ****, wow. This is why the B1G is on DirectTV and the Pac12N isn't.
Well at least Cal avoided the shutout.

A yes or no would suffice, jackass.

Wow, what a bad interception.

This was inevitable. Wonder what Cal's massive recruit crowd thinks
That recruit crowd is the main reason I'm taking a break from my normal "P-A-C" fanboy routine and kind of hope that Cal gets mudholed.
You must have direct tv.
There's no team in the Pac12 that travels like this. Not USC or UCLA or UO (look at the LSU vs UO game at Jerryworld). These guys have owned a newly renovated stadium on the other side of the country. That's impressive.
Still want Cal to beat them down.

No, I have UVerse. I can't tell from the crowd shots the percentage of OSU to Cal fans.....looks like mostly OSU, but thus the reason for my (apparently) idotic question.
UW up 14-3.
all those offensive recruits at Cal (except for the QBs) have got to be loving what they are seeing.
Despite saying that, I am finding myself rooting hard for Cal. PAC>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>B1G
Haha, my initial reply wasn't sarcastic at all. Just lost in translation.
I was flabbergasted at the crowd shots. I would have expected 60/40 prior to the game. It looks like 80/20 tOSU. That red really stands out though.
Not disputing the number of fans that travel being hugely different, just would dispute that as an indicator of TV interest.
B1G fans have always travelled well to the Pacific Coast games. Those games give them an excuse to get out of their home footprint and go to places that are historically popular with plenty of tourist. On the other hand how many fans from PAC states just can't wait to visit Illinois or Michigan or Ohio.
Beyond this how big an alumni base do PAC schools have in the midwest, I guarantee it is much smaller than the B1G alumni bases in the PAC states.
I think the biggest issue with Direct TV is simply that they have a huge investment in their NFL Direct Ticket and aren't willing to extend their sports programing investment any further unless they are guaranteed a postive return with little to no risk.
I admittedly haven't watched enough Pac 12 network games to know if they are better, but I'm really not impressed with the Big 10 network.
I have been surprised at how much better the production value is on PACN vs B1GN. Those guys have had years to build things up and are in partnership with Fox instead of going it alone. But PACN is definitely a better product.
I wouldn't be so sure about that. Oregon is already ahead of OSU in the polls and with a performance like today against a name (albeit down) program Oregon will be in the top 2 at season's end if they go undefeated.
Or because the Big 10 knows how to market themselves better than the Pac
I know it's the B1G Network and all, but the analyst on that Udub game seemed to be actively rooting for Illinois. Sounded like a hometown radio guy.
What about the east coast bias though? Oregon plays a lot of its games at 9pm or later on the east coast. The b1g carries a lot of weight just because of their alumni base and history.
And I would argue that DTV is a national carrier. With large alumni bases that span the country this puts more pressure on national carriers to carry it. The b1g network does indeed suck much like just about everything that comes from the mid west.

Didn't take Ole Miss long to find the end zone against Texas. 7-0 Rebs
He is really bad. I'm actually surprised the game isn't on mute at this point. :lol:
And TD UW. They are starting to run away with this game.

Oregon took Virginia and Tennessee out behind the woodshed for that very reason. Living in the east, I can tell you Oregon is a national brand at this point. Kids saying their favorite team is Oregon, etc. The most negativity you hear is that their offense is a "gimmick", but it's beyond effective so who cares.
PSU down 31-17 to UCF late in the 3rd quarter. How bad is the Big 10.

Bad enough that the ACC is clearly stronger this year.
