Buffies Secret Desire: The Pac-10 and LaLa Land

The Boulder Daily Camera takes on the idea of Colorado moving to the Pac-10, an idea I promoted  here a couple of weeks ago.  And like Woody Paige, they can't help but take a few shots at Nebraska from the mile high smoggy skies.

So how serious is this talk?  Hard to say, though in radio interviews, the Boulder media suggest that the vote 12 years ago to join the Big XII was rather narrow, so if the Pac 10 were to come calling, you'd never know.  They also suggest that the Big XII might want to drop Kansas State, Iowa State, and Baylor as well.  They talk about adding some of the old Southwest Conference teams back in, which seems kind of bizarre.  I get the idea that they think the Big XII might end up looking like the old Southwest Conference.

Other wild ideas coming from the People's Republic of Boulder include selling the naming rights to Folsom Prison Field.  After only winning 9 games last season in football and basketball, I guess they figure they need to figure out how to pay for security for the student section when the Huskers come at Thanksgiving.

I remember...

reading an article in the OWH last year or the year before and the Pac 10 pres. said that they were not interested in adding teams to the conference. This was in an article about playoffs and having conference championship games and how the P-10 would have to add two teams to be able to do that. I dont think CU is going to the P-10 anytime soon. If they do I would love to see us pick up Notre Dame to add to the North and then Mizzu could move in to the south. That would give us another big name in the conference and give NU some competition in the North. It would also make winning the north more credible.

true

but would Notre Dame ever do that?

I don't think any of this is going to happen... but I'm busy writing something that I do believe will happen in another few years.

Go Big Red!
