Pac 12 Phone Case

The perfect phone case, in my opinion, would be the one I posted! A Pac 12 phone case would be the best protection for any Pac 12 fans phone. If you know what's good for you, get a Pac 12 phone case to show your support for the Pac 12 football teams!

I'm Thankful for Pac 10 Football!

As Thanksgiving is coming up, I can't help but to think of all the things I'm thankful for. And after family, friends and my health, obviously the Pac 10 football is at the top of the list! I will always be thankful for the Pac 10.

New Pac 12 blog

Next week a brand spanking new blog will be started. That’s right we are starting a new blog under the name “Pac 12 Football schedules”. For all the information you want on Pac 12 football go there, and once it is up will post a link on here for you! Follow us along when we make the switch.

Can Oregon Repeat as Pac 12 Champs?

Last season, the Oregon Ducks won the Pac-10 title. Do they have what it takes to repeat, this time as Pac-12 Champs? I think with running back LaMicheal James and quarterback Darron Thomas returning, they have a great chance. That is as strong of a tandem as anyone else in the country. I think Oregon has what it takes to return to the Title Game in 2012.

New Pac-12 TV Deal

Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott says that under the new TV deal with Fox and ESPN, every football and men’s basketball game will be televised, along with most women’s basketball games. There will be a Pac-12 Network as well. It will carry 36 football games, with 44 on ESPN and Fox.

* All football and men’s basketball not on Fox or ESPN groups will be on Pac-12 TV and/or digital networks.

* The football championship game will be played on Friday.

Spring Practice Underway in Pac-12

The Pac-12 is primed for another season and a new season at that. The Pac-12 added Colorado and Utah to join the conference this season, marking a new "Pac-10". It's not football season quite yet, but at least fans got a glimpse of football when Spring Practice started. Each team gets to a hold a "Spring Game" that showcases the team's talent against eachother. Some teams draw as many as 50,000 + fans just for these scrimmages! Just goes to show how cool college football really is!

Northwestern - Stanford Series To Start in 2019

Northwestern will play a four-game football series with Stanford beginning in 2019, the school announced Wednesday. Northwestern will host Stanford in 2019 and 2021 and play on the road in 2020 and 2022. Northwestern and Stanford have played six times, with their last meeting coming in 1994. Both of these schools are considered some of the strongest academically in the country, and have seen considerable rise in their football programs. Last season, Stanford lost only 1 game and was one of the best teams in the country. Northwestern has gotten significantly better as well.

Will Pac-10 Play on Sundays?

Earlier this week, the Pac-10 Commissioner threw out the possibility of the Pac-10 playing on Sundays if the NFL indeed has a lockout. Here is what the Comissioner said:

"We certainly are monitoring the situation. We have no plans in place at this time, but you want to be prepared and consider all options. Still, these labor situations have a way of getting done the closer they get to a critical situation."

What would you think if the Pac-10 decides to play on Sundays?

USC vs. Notre Dame Night Game

USC and Notre Dame have a longstanding rivalry against eachother. According to ESPN:

"Notre Dame and USC will play under the lights in 2011 with a 7:30 p.m. ET kickoff for their Oct. 22 game, the schools announced Wednesday. " This is news breaking for a few reasons. It will be the first time the Fighting Irish have played a night game at Notre Dame Stadium in 21 years. Notre Dame and Michigan last played under the lights in 1990, with the top-ranked Irish slipping past the No. 4 Wolverines 28-24. I am looking forward to seeing this game under the lights at South Bend.

Oregon Ducks Being Investigated

The Oregon Ducks are being investigated for a possible recruiting violation. It involves a man from Texas, named Willie Lyles. Apparently Lyles is being investigated for possibly paying some prospects to choose Oregon as opposed to other schools. The Pac-10 is in a “preliminary fact-finding” stage of possible violations related to Oregon’s ties to football recruiting services and payments for services. Not too many details have emerged thus far but it could definitely snowball into something bigger.

ASU-Missouri Will Battle in 'Friday Night Lights'

When Missouri visits Arizona State on September 9th, 2011, it could feature two nationally ranked teams. The game has been moved to Sept. 9 and will be broadcast on ESPN at 10:30 p.m. ET. September 9th is a Friday night, a day earlier than the game's original date.

It will be the first time ever the Sun Devils have played on a Friday night.

The game will give exposure to both programs as they will be the only teams playing that night.

Jim Tressel Suspended Two Games

Although it is not Pac-10 related, I felt it was important enough to address. Ohio State head coach, Jim Tressel, the poster child for stability at a college program as well as usually doing things the "right way" has been suspended 2 games. Tressel did not turn over the names to the university or to the NCAA after he first received an e-mail from Christopher Cicero on April 2, 2010. On Tuesday, Ohio State officials announced that they will suspend Tressel for the first two games this upcoming season and fine him $250,000.

Pac 10 (12) Players at the NFL Combine

Oregon State defensive tackle Stephen Paea proved his unbelievable strength. He set an NFL combine record with 49 reps at 225 pounds on the bench press. Yikes. He is an absolute animal.

Washington Huskies QB Jake Locker had a solid combine, with a nice 40 time.

Colorado Buffalos OL Nate Solder had a nice day as well, showing expolsiveness.

California's Shane Vereen had a monster day, running the 40 in 4.48, posting a 34-inch vertical jump and putting up 25 repetitions on the 225-pound bench press

Arizona St. Quarterback Steven Threet Will Retire

Arizona St. Sun Devil quarterback Steven Threet, who was the starting quarterback for most of the year for the Sun Devils, has been forced to retire due to concussions. Threet, who will be a senior in 2011, has suffered four concussions, two of which occurred last season. Last season, Threet completed 62 percent of his passes, throwing for 2,534 yards with 18 touchdowns and 16 interceptions for the Sun Devils. He was the Michigan Wolverines starting quarterback in 2008 until transferring to Arizona State. Threet is on schedule to graduate in December, will likely remain close to the program and help as a student assistant and work with the QBs

Mel Kiper Projects Several Pac-10 Players in 1st Round

Mel Kiper, the NFL Draft guru for ESPN with the great flow (hair), has revealed his lastest 2011 NFL Mock Draft. He listed several Pac-10 Players in the 1st Round, including:

No. 13: Jimmy Smith, CB, Colorado (Detroit)
No. 17: Cameron Jordan, DE, California (New England)
No. 18: Tyron Smith, OT, USC (San Diego)
No. 19: Nate Solder, OT, Colorado (New York Giants)
No. 21: Akeem Ayers, DE, UCLA (Kansas City)
No. 30: Rahim Moore, S, UCLA (New York Jets)Share

Are all of these players going to go in the 1st round? Perhaps not. However, it is clear that the Pac-10 develops some nice talent in college football.

The New Pac-12

College Football fans remember last spring when chaos mounted from the conference turmoil with the Big Ten, Big Twelve, Pac-10, and Mountain West. After all was said and done, two teams were set to join the Pac-10 for the 2011-2012 season. A year later, here are all the details for the new "Pac-12."

The Pac-10 doesn't become the Pac-12 officially until July 1 of this year. The two new teams are the Colorado Buffaloes and the Utah Utes. They are the first new teams since adding Arizona and Arizona State in 1978.

There will be two division:

North - California, Oregon, Oregon State, Stanford, Washington and Washington State

South - Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado, UCLA, USC and Utah

Teams will still play nine conference games, but the round-robin format adopted in 2006 is over. With 12 teams, every team can't play every other on an annual basis.

These two divisions also mean a conference championship game, which will be played at the home stadium of the team with the best conference record on December 3rd. The winner of that game will be the Pac-12 Champion.

Norm Chow Joins Utah Utes Staff

Norm Chow has left the UCLA Bruins and will be joining the Utah Utes, the newest member in the "Pac 12." The 64-year-old is returning to his alma mater as Utah's offensive coordinator. He spent the past three years in the same role with the UCLA Bruins. The UCLA Bruins stumbled to a 4-8 season last year with an offense ranked 99th of 120 FBS schools. A change was necessary and Chow elected to leave for greener pastures. Rick Neuheisel remains on the hot seat at UCLA.

National Signing Day Recap

As always, much is made right away about National Signing Day and recruiting classes. It's fun for scouts to project who will be the next "star" player and who will shine. Although, the truth is, you really can't judge a recruiting class until 2 to 3 years later. Labeling a player with "3 stars", "2 stars" doesn't really mean a whole lot in my opinion. That just signifies that they have potential. Not every recruit lives up to that potential. Here are the ESPN recruiting class grades in the Pac-10:

Arizona: C+

Arizona State: C

Colorado: D

California: B

Oregon: B

Oregon State: C+

Stanford: B

UCLA: C-

USC: A

Utah: C+
