How disappointing has Nichols been. He was supposed to be our Friday night guy. He has years of experience and he can’t get anyone out. The season has just been a huge disappointment This is what happens when you retain a pitching coach who was demoted because he couldn’t get pitchers to pitch well...

Don't worry, Chip will be able to fire Lawn after this season and use him as a scapegoat, while getting another 2 more years to prove how bad of a hire he was. We started today's game 10-0. We end up losing 13-11. Baseball is too historically good to let this shit go on that long. Heads have got to...

IMNSO opinion, we're gonna miss Kerr!! I actually hope CTL re-recruits him like he did when he declared for the portal after CTM left... Maybe checking out places like WVU & Nebraska will change his mind, if the primary motivation to leave was the likely loss of PT. Nah, there's no minds changing h...

Bryant isn't reclassifying.

Hey Choo - any other thoughts on how CTL is going to approach next season's roster? Or is it too early as we need to see what Zu and maybe even Pelle does? I'm assuming we are again diving into the portal for a SG and athletic wing. Pelle's not going anywhere. I don't foresee Zu's decision impactin...

To clarify on the "stand pat" comment; I'm talking about immediate contributors, and particularly when it comes to pitching. On a go-forward basis, I believe we generally need to field a team of upperclassmen, patching as needed with transfers, without the past stigma of arbitrary limits per the ad...

We’re probably going to stay in this conference on a 3 year deal. May be the biggest most colossal and damaging waste of time we could ever possibly sign up for. And then we’ll probably re-up for another 3 because we just love compounding our mistakes. By then Oregon and UW a will get their B1G inv...

This isn't the kind of recruitment where NIL will rule the day as far as I'm aware. The fact he announced his final 2 while still in Tucson probably means something.

https://twitter.com/wilnerhotline/status/1634078236782235650 The LA schools just joined the B1G, so apparently they're now midwest flyover schools. These are the rules apparently.

Anyone think Clemson and FSU have $120 million on hand to break their ACC contract? And this assumes the FSU lawyers are correct that $120 million is the number needed to break the contract.

There is absolutely no guarantee that after 5 years of being literally lost in the wilderness of streaming on some off-brand non-sports network that any major conference, including the Big12, would want to bring us on. Our recruiting and results in both major sports will suffer and we will no longe...

I agree the B1G will never take us. Especially since we're tied by ABOR to ASu, and ASu isn't an AAU school. The two AZ schools don't bring enough to the B1G to take both anyway. I also agree that if Oregon and UW go B1G, the PAC is dead, and we should immediately respond by going to the BIG12. But...

If we go anywhere other then the Big 10 ( assuming UCLA and USC actually go there) our football program is completely fucked. The Los Angeles area is critical to our recruiting and kids will not play for us if none of our games are over there or against those schools. Then Arizona football is fucke...

Say a deal comes in at 30-33m per with a 60% streaming and 40% linear output. You then give unequal revenue sharing rights n the CFP to the pacific NW schools and unequal revenue on the NCAA basketball revenue to AZ. Does that keep the biggest dissenters in the fold? It still ends in the same way, ...

A GOR only lasts as long as the TV deal lasts. Their TV deal isn't for 10 years. Another ridiculous argument.

Also only a colossal idiot would argue to sign a 5 year deal to try to later join with a conference that’s currently in the process of blowing up.

A merger with the ACC sounds great and we should do it now. Oh, we’re talking maybe five years from now? And in the meantime we’ll make shitty money being streamed where no one gives a flying fuck?

It won't end well and any level headed fan knows this because it happens year after year after year. Hopium, wishful thinking, and BS metrics will only get you so far.

I've stated before, this is likely the last PAC contract ever. Let's get as much money as possible out of it.

Lost game 2 1-5. Not a great start.

The Wazzu game was bad. The Stanford game was bad. The Oregon & Utah games sucked. This game was a god damn catastrophe of the highest order and Tommy Lloyd may never have a worse loss during his entire Arizona tenure than this one and god I sure hope he doesn't have a loss worse than this one.

Media markets only matter when the markets watch. Regardless of the market size, I believe the Big12 got better ratings because their fans care about football.

If it’s down to ESPN as the only major media outlet with interest we are borked. Why would ESPN pay for the rights to 10/12 Pac teams when it could force 4/6 desirable Pac schools to the Big12?
