Yes with Oregon. It is crucial that Oregon and UCLA perform well in OOC to keep the PAC relevant during conference play.

I get that. Playing in a poopy SEC for years, we carried the load, and it was all about OOC games.

Ya it was really bad last year. Every PAC 12 7pm game was on espn2 because people would rather watch Gonzaga beat up on LMU on ESPN.

As a Zags fan it was fun, but that really shouldn’t happen as often as it did last year.

East coast bias is real, But not in a how some ppl think.

I feell like easterners would watch the product if the product made it worth while to stay up.

No doubt you all are on track with this. Provide a great product, audience will come.

*curouis to see if this affects NIL

I like having UCLA back in the mix. Did they lose anybody off last year's team? Any gains?

They lose Smith but he got injured early in the season. They bring in Myles Johnson from Rutgers which gives them a little more size inside (which they needed). They also bring in Watson who was a 5 star prospect. He's a guy who could start right away

I liked watching him last year. Reminded me of a guy from
Chapel Hill wo starred at App State back in the day. I used to get in pick up games with him. A little old school moxy to his game. Will it convert to the NBA?
