I am still pissed about UCLA blowing up the PAC-12 and to see the way they are embracing their new conference is rubbing salt into the wound.

I must admit that the commercial is pretty good, but still hate what they did to the storied conference.

Everyone who lives in or around LA LA Land and follows college football knew SC was a short timer in the Pac unless something changed. It was all over the media down here. CC knew at some point SC probably would leave, and told a group of us so. No one expected UCLA, No one.


Does that change anything? Does that give anyone a greater sense of being. Is your inner soul feeling better. I realize people are angry that Cal is not in the B1G and 6 other Pac schools are, but the reason Cal isn't has to do with Cal, not UCLA.

You probably won't enjoy reading this, but if you need more anger:

PAC-12 emails from the announcement of U$C and UCLA leaving for the B1G

---

Knowlton's response was the default out-of-office message that comes with Outlook.

Unless I missed something about Oregon State and Wazzu, there are not 6 Pac schools in the B1G

This is probably just a strong case of my mid-summer optimism -- when all our QBs are throwing frozen ropes on 30-yard outs in practice and our RBs are running with power and attitude not seen since Chuck Muncie and Marshawn Lynch -- but I have a renewed sense of optimism about Cal athletics. I feel like with Rich Lyons at the helm, he'll be someone who understands that athletics remain integral to keeping Old Blues connected to this place. We've got folks running the NIL who have a head for business. As tough as Cal's path will be in the ACC, I think UCLA is going to get a rude awakening to the B1G and I'm not sure Lincoln Riley's rinky-dink offense will succeed in the cold of the upper midwest come late October and November.

I'll miss the Pac, and I will blame SC and Southern Branch, along with ESPN and Fox, for their greed and selfishness in destroying the Conference of Champions. But this ACC Experiment is gonna be interesting for us. Sometimes people "fall upward." Maybe now is our time. No, I haven't been drinking yet this evening.

I will feel a lot better when we have a new AD.

What's taking so long?

Don't be so sure. Remember when we all thought Carol was working behind the scenes to get into the B1G?

---

I didn't believe it and I called BS on the "insiders" who assured us she was "doing more than any PAC-12 CEO to get us into the B1G." Christ was working with Kliavkoff on blocking UCLA, working on getting Calimony, was by her own admission prepared to sign Kliavkoff's Apple streaming deal and was shocked others had been lying to her while trying to get into the B1G.

Does that change anything? Does that give anyone a greater sense of being?. Is your inner soul feeling better? I realize people are angry that Cal is not in the B1G and 4 other Pac schools are, but the reason Cal isn't has to do with Cal, not UCLA.
