Me too. We’ve got a friend who lives in Louisiana. He’s been busy for the last few days. I’ll attempt to get in touch with him later in the week. I’ll just stay out of his way in the meantime. Looks like you’re gonna get wet in the near future too. You be careful with the flooding and rain.

I built my house on the highest point in my region. I don’t get the flooding but my neighbors (a mile or two away) do. It’s gonna be a mess. I’m heading to Atlanta for the game Saturday double masked up and with ponchos. It’s the humid time of year that reminds me why I am probably moving back west in the next 6-8 years.

When are you moving to Pasadena?

I’m looking now. I may buy the place now and move full time there in 8 years.
I don’t know if it’s generational. Maybe at UCLA because it’s harder for native Californians to stay in state. I know many of my cousins have moved to Nevada and Wyoming. I’ve heard some Californians (maybe two or three) moved to Utah. So, your generations of families going to the local college games won’t happen in a place like Los Angeles like it would say in Knoxville, Tennessee or Madison, Wisconsin.
Northwestern is in another major market and it does horrible on attendance.

We’re going to see empty seats in the Pac-12 and B1G (note the Illinois game with Nebraska this past weekend as an example.) A portion of fans will set aside their fanhood for personal safety. In the SEC, however, it’ll be full, but for convenience sake, they’ll place a line of stretchers and ventilators by each exit.

This will also be available at the concessions as a condiment for your hotdog.

Bad take. Attendance pre Covid was weak in the Pac 12 compared to other 4 P5s.
I will say I am heading to UM vs Bama and I’m concerned they already said it’s a sellout.
EDIT: these idiots just made it mask optional: Alabama-Miami game COVID protocols announced - al.com
Question @BamaFanNKY
How did the University of Miami find the money to get the team out of the Miami-Dade County Jail?

I don’t know but I hope they have some fans with extra $ to buy my tickets. This news made me throw my tickets online for sale. Hopefully, I don’t have to go double-masked.
Since you’ve spent time in L.A. you understand that in such towns there are lots of competing attractions. That’s true of L.A. and the Bay Area. It’s one reason why the Lakers and Dodgers fans are considered fickle by other fans–there’s just a lot lo do in L.A., and getting to an arena or stadium is often a major effort. Seattle and the Phoenix are too–even Salt Lake is like that to an extent. This is not a defense or an excuse, just part of an explanation.

Yes, but when a team is hot you have to mortgage the house for tix (I’m buying Christmas Day Lakers tix this week). I don’t think the Pac 12 is a normal conference (mainly because of the California schools). The footprint has more talent than the Big 1G footprint. As I also stated above the increase in living expenses has changed the family tradition of going to the game every week almost non-existent. Friends of mine growing up went every week to UCLA Home games. All the kids have moved away now and the grandparents have died. The Pac 12 California schools will never be like those small college towns elsewhere.
Saw this this morning and it reminded me of your comment.
I understand JT started at SC but the PAC 12 has to stop the talent drain. One from South LA and another from Irvine.

if JT Daniels doesn’t tear is ACL, he’s still the starter at USC or in the NFL. It wasn’t some PAC12 faux pas as you suggest. He went somewhere where he wouldn’t be the backup.

Ah, so nowhere in the Pac 12 was available. Only Georgia. Got it champ.
at that time, if you transferred within the conference you had to sit out a year. That rule has since been changed, but it was in affect when JT was at USC. He would have had to sit out all of 2020 unless he appealed.

Cool. He was a backup at UGA for most of the season. In fact, it wasn’t for certain he would play (He had limited PT at UGA early in the year) and he considered returning and sitting out the season and having immediate transfer after graduation. Let’s not act like someone couldn’t have gotten him to come to their school.
You’re also ignoring the major talent drain from the west for Big 1G, SEC, and ACC schools.

this must make your nipples so hard. Congrats on being better than us and letting us know.

It’s interesting to me that an Alabama fan, died in the wool and as avid as can be, and also a worshipful SEC fan, seems to believe that people who are fans of a PAC-12 school care about his constant criticisms of the PAC-12.
