PAC Expansion

Maybe. Lol

Colorado has an inferiority complex (the state in general).

It is a paradox. Rugged, scenic beauty complimented by poor, rustic farm towns, and waves of seasonal migrant labor.

Some of the ugliest towns in America are in eastern and southern Colorado. Its the western slope that thinks of itself as the true, romanticized Colorado of western movies.

Yeah, they hate Texas because every Winter Texas’ money is what fueling their economy. However, they lack the oil to be truly independent from the money that Texas provides to their economy. So, they envy Texas because of the wealth the state has from oil, shipping, and farming, but at the same time they rely on Texas to fill up their ski resorts. Adding to that is guys like me that remind them part of their state was a part of Texas! :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

I know plenty of “Texans” that now live in Colorado. I remember one visit to Denver where I separately ran into half a dozen people I knew from Houston that had moved to Denver.

I’m on a few forums with members from all over the country. One thing that brings them all together is their hatred from Texans and Californians. This includes the folks in Colorado. They hate us both, but for different reasons.

When I’ve traveled out of the country and people find out we’re from Texas it’s always a great reaction.

As a Colorado native.

I can tell you, there is no real “hate” for Texans.

I’ve never heard of such thing either.

Most of the Colorado transplants are from Texas

Well Jim I would guess maybe we speak to different individuals. I will be in Colorado next month and report back my findings.

Behind the 8 ball.

I imagine everyone is going to have anecdotal experiences that let’s be honest probably aren’t truly representative of the population as a whole. It’s called a limited sample size.

9 more days n these antidotes prob won’t come up for awhile in Football thread.

Have we heard any more news on when the PAC commission will give his “expansion announcement”?

It has to be today or tomorrow.

The closer he waits till the end of the workday Friday ( east coast time) , the more I think its a non-expansion news drop.

The Houston Texans are notorious for doing this. Especially, if it is news on something they screwed up on which is frequently.

IF, and I’m hoping IF, it is a pro expansion announcement- look for it to come today or tomorrow morning so people can talk about.

At least he said “by the end of the week” but it appears as if they are being very secretive
nothing has leaked as of this morning

There is absolutely no chance that the PAC 12 announces that they’ll be looking to expand. That has no actual connection to whether or not they will or won’t expand when their media deal runs out in 3 years.

So, Friday evening news drop?

To expand would take the approval of a lot of stakeholders. That takes time.

The fact that they said a decision would be made by Friday means it will be a quick no.

They’ve been working on this for a month.

They’ve already talked to a number of schools and have had internal meetings.

Plus, I would think the Big12 collapsing was always a contingency plan in adding central time zone inventory.

That has become a reality.

Are you employed by the PAC12? Please let us know. Otherwise you and I like everybody else are making assumptions.

Well
my Dad’s best friend Ed Epich (rip), was a long-standing member of the Denver CC, and Dad always played in the member/guest up there. On his first trip, they were putting out on the 18th green, where a huge tree overhung the green

One of the members told Dad
“Yeah, this is where we hang Texans
”

Tongue In Cheek (sort of

Back in the day (70s) there was a joke about a Coloradan and a Texan were having a drink in a Denver hotel bar. They were both bragging about the economic prowess of each state. The Coloradan said his state has so much gold they could build a fence 8 feet tall around the entire state. The Texan thinks about that for a minute and then says something to the effect of ‘you go on and build that fence and if I like it I’ll buy it’.
