P5s have interest in keeping outsiders out. If you don't see that you're blind.

Just here to say it's not Washington's fault.

The leak is UW's fault.

Benfica1

11/23/20 10:47am

probably, but could be PAC office

warp

11/23/20 10:48am

Sounds about right.

rockhound

11/23/20 10:50am

I think this is the doing of Larry Scott.

Cougar Jazz Fan

11/23/20 1:02pm

We don’t know that. Social media and immediate conclusions makes us all dumber

MatthiasPhunkHausen

11/23/20 11:10am

What does UW/PAC get out of leaking it?

Z-Ute

11/23/20 12:41pm

That's a great question. Why do YOU think someone at UW or the PAC12 offices...

Eddie

11/23/20 12:57pm

Back up the headband!

Z-Ute

11/23/20 2:34pm

You've got some of your information wrong, it would seem.

Eddie

11/23/20 2:48pm

You keep flipping!

Z-Ute

11/23/20 3:40pm

UW responded to the call for a fight with...

Eddie

11/23/20 4:01pm

Because you need a P5 to be taken seriously

Z-Ute

11/23/20 4:09pm

Which is why the whole UW callout was disingenuous from the very beginning.

Eddie

11/23/20 4:23pm

Their way telling others to read the fine print on the headbands and tweets?

Z-Ute

11/23/20 4:55pm

Sorry - that's not my conspiracy theory.

Eddie

11/23/20 6:16pm

Consider this: You are arguing with a Yewt. Time to floss the cat.

spoxjox

11/23/20 4:19pm

Hmmmm, misinformation right before the CFP rankings with OR ranked below BYU...?

Benfica1

11/23/20 1:01pm

This ^^^

Little Mac

11/23/20 1:30pm

Why, PAC Champ is in the NY6 no matter what.

Z-Ute

11/23/20 2:36pm

Well, they need to move up in the rankings if they want a remote shot at CFP.

Benfica1

11/23/20 3:00pm

It's UW or Oregon that come out of the North

Z-Ute

11/23/20 3:52pm

Read for comprehension. OR wants to be ranked as high as possible in the first

Benfica1

11/23/20 4:09pm

Oregon doesn't need it!

Z-Ute

11/23/20 4:14pm

Um, sure.

P5s have interest in keeping outsiders out. If you don't see that you're blind.

IceCreamButt

11/23/20 1:19pm

The PAC doesn't keep anyone out, the committee does.

Z-Ute

11/23/20 2:37pm

Nope, but letting outsiders in decreases their chances of getting prime spots.

IceCreamButt

11/23/20 2:44pm

Make BYU look dumb, keep us out of playoff or NY6 discussions, etc.

thaws

11/23/20 1:34pm

No way BYU is getting into the CFP

Z-Ute

11/23/20 2:40pm

Then that's UW's problem, not BYU's. No reasonable person can expect a school to

spoxjox

11/23/20 10:47am

Loose lips

AudiS4

11/23/20 10:47am

Washington leaked the "story"

JuicyJam

11/23/20 10:47am

I agree with you. I'm pretty sure it is not UW who leaked the discussion going on, but someone within the PAC12 offices

specsauce

11/23/20 10:48am

There are like, what, 3 people left in P12 offices these days?

zonacougar

11/23/20 11:21am

Yep. They fired all the plumbers

Coooooogs

11/23/20 12:07pm

it's not washington's fault that a damaging leak smearing BYU

Cougarclaw

11/23/20 10:48am

Then Washington shouldn't be leaking trash to reporters.

BYUtka

11/23/20 10:48am

Thanks for stopping in.

whoneedscorners?

11/23/20 10:48am

If UW's motives are pure, why not make a statement to ease the hate a little?

DraperCoug22

11/23/20 10:51am

Maybe because both AD's know what's going on and they prefer not

rockhound

11/23/20 10:53am

This has gotten way bigger than business. This is major public perception.

DraperCoug22

11/23/20 10:59am

Washington already did their business in the public arena.

Eddie

11/23/20 11:03am

Because they don’t kneejerk react to social media

MatthiasPhunkHausen

11/23/20 11:11am

It's because they aren't the ones that look bad...

DraperCoug22

11/23/20 11:15am

I agree. Being Independent has it's upside.

rockhound

11/23/20 10:51am

I'd love to know the source of the leak. I'm equal parts Washington and BYU fan

Salami Karate

11/23/20 10:52am

I'm going to believe it is the Pac12 league office and not UW until evidence

Little Mac

11/23/20 10:55am

The source is obviously on the PAC-12 side. Of that, there can be no doubt.

spoxjox

11/23/20 11:00am

UW: not our fault we leaked a story that makes BYU look bad and made no attempt

IceCreamButt

11/23/20 10:56am

Most of us get that (even if we can't resist a little snark about UW ducking BYU in 1984)

kccougar

11/23/20 11:00am

Not entirely, no. But someone leaked it to try to make BYU look bad. Sounds like it was somebody at UW.

John Doe

11/23/20 11:01am

Fan hate and National Championship envy aside, UW and BYU have always

Captain Stubing

11/23/20 11:01am

All is forgiven if UW beats Utah by 20 plus...

Mitty

11/23/20 11:18am

I think we agree with you. Just didn’t like the taste of the bus tires

BYU '80

11/23/20 11:19am

You seem reasonable. Maybe you should stick around.

SingleStrapBackpack

11/23/20 11:29am

Maybe so...but "sources" are saying it's on BYU. PAC12 can go to hades.

Preppy

11/23/20 11:30am

PAC-12 taking care of it's own....

Z-Ute

11/23/20 12:40pm

I'm OK with the PAC taking care of the PAC.

Eddie

11/23/20 12:59pm

And if you're (thanks) not scared, prove it!

Eddie

11/23/20 3:02pm

That one was right over your head wasn't it!

Z-Ute

11/23/20 3:13pm

No...but apparently it went right over yours.

Eddie

11/23/20 3:29pm

*you've 😉

DraperCoug22

11/23/20 3:14pm

But to answer your question,

DraperCoug22

11/23/20 3:16pm

I get that.

Z-Ute

11/23/20 3:21pm

BYU is prepared to prove it. UW is not.

Eddie

11/23/20 2:56pm

You mean scared to play Army?

Z-Ute

11/23/20 3:12pm

What money does it cost UW to agree to play the game without backing out?

Eddie

11/23/20 3:28pm

How can they guarantee the game when it's not up to them?

Z-Ute

11/23/20 4:00pm

You are finally beginning to see the point.

Eddie

11/23/20 4:36pm

Not you're point

I think your wrong...

Z-Ute

11/23/20 7:52pm

Let me guess. You're a product of the public education system in Utah?

John Doe

11/23/20 8:42pm

And now you're missing the point.

Eddie

11/23/20 6:18pm

It's about helping you...

Z-Ute

11/23/20 7:57pm

Nah - this was about UW helping UW.

Eddie

11/24/20 8:52am

Yeah, we know. The PAC12 is garbage.

JohnJohnsonAKAVicky

11/23/20 1:32pm

Good point. Respect.

We'll let you know late Thursday if we'll take your offer.

BlueNtheFace

11/23/20 1:40pm

I grew up a UW fan. Rooted for them as a frosh at BYU. UW is garbage.

doubleduce

11/23/20 2:19pm

Yup. This is VERY MUCH UW's fault.

BYUtka

11/23/20 3:21pm

What evidence do we have the Washington did anything here other than

CaughtForaTouchdown

11/24/20 10:43am

UW does have access to media, right? All they had to do was...

And UW is a full member of the conference. Pretending they are a victim of the

BYUtka

11/24/20 1:23pm

If the conference is the one who did this - it wouldn't go well for UW...

Eddie

11/24/20 1:59pm

If UW did what I said, even the PC12 wouldn’t care. UW is 100% at fault...

doubleduce

11/24/20 3:35pm

But saying conversations are ongoing and fluid wouldn't do anything to dispel

Let me break this down for you.
