Did anyone notice that the South Dakota State Jackrabbits beat the Huskies by 19 in Seattle? What is going on? Whatever it is, give me more of it. Misery loves company. (The Huskies may have more blue chip recruits than anyone in the 12 Pac right now including a freshman point guard many regard as a no. 1 NBA pick in the not too distant future.)

Carlino's roaring start at BYU is a ringing condemnation of Ben Howland. So Carlino left UCLA disgruntled because he couldn't crack the lineup? Come on. Is Carlino's defense that bad?

It's pretty entertaining talking to some UCLA fans I know and reading their boards. There are some Howland-ites as fierce as Indy was in defense of Crowton. One of the common arguments I hear and read is that Carlino isn't going to play in the NBA anyway. Who the eff cares? He's someone that can help your college team win. I suppose you have to hang your hat on something I guess but that argument is so absurd.

Does any coach do less with his talent than Romar? He's a great recruiter, but outside of that he's a terrible coach. He doesn't deserve all that talent.

ive only watched a few minutes of the CU/Washington game and was surprised to see CU up by so much.

It is eerie how similar LoRo and Ernie Kent are. Both dramatically changed the profile of player each school was accustomed to getting. Both have been vastly more successful than anything previous to them, at least in the last 30 years. Both are absolutely atrocious at in-game adjustments and offensive development.

It does not seem that there is pressure on LoRo, like there always was on Kent.

The Cal Montgomery's with a road win in Seattle last night are starting to look like the team to beat. (I believe it was only the 6th intra-conf road win in the P12 this year, Oregon has 3!)

Zona/Colorado is a big game on Saturday, loser has an uphill climb to get back into the race. UCLA in an almost must win in Eugene to keep title/NCAA hopes alive.

Utah up 27 vs. ASU with 13-ish minutes left. 48-21

How bad is Arizona State? Wow.

How many bids will the PAC12 get?

More than a couple seems FAR too generous at this point.

Arizona will get in because they are Arizona.

Cal, Stanford, Oregon, Washington, Arizona. One of those teams is going to fade down the stretch and end up with not that good of record. The other four will get in.

For the thousandth time, SHUTUP! You're about 10x as annoying as the entire Cougarboard.

I would never let someone with such a negative horse shit attitude about everything touch my root canal.

Thank you for this post. I love this conference and thanks for participating positively in this thread.

College GameDay with Digger and his tie/highlighter combo will be at McKale on Sat. That game looked a lot more interesting a month ago. Huskies need a big W to stay alive as title contenders.

Sunday will be a good day with Stanford/Cal and a Civil War in Eugene. If Oregon wins they are in good shape to get to 11 conference wins. That number was an NCAA lock just 3 years ago, no P10 team with a conf record over .500 has failed to make the dance.

Washington/Zona start the second half at a blistering pace, pushing the ball up and down the court. Not making many buckets though, some awful shooting including Wroten missing a fast break dunk.

Remember when Gaddy was a hyped recruit? What happened?
