Larry Scott- New Pac 10 Commish.

I know they have a winning record versus every other conference and it's a shame that the public's perception doesn't match their record. Kind of reminds of media and politics. After watching this guy though, I have a feeling his number one goal is to change that perception.

yes, the country just needs to know that the Pac-10 is the best conference in America.

he's basically not going to do anything until the next TV contract is up, which is obviously going to be huge with the current disaster of a TV deal. He hasn't said anything about officiating and pretty much said he can't do anything about bowls right now, so the only other areas he needs to show some leadership, he's basically said he'll be inactive. It'll be more of the same bullshite is what I'm saying

if it helps you sleep at night.

what's the all time record for the Pac 10 vs. the SEC?

No doubt the SEC is up big. But with the SEC being stronger than it has ever been in the last decade, the allegedly piss poor PAC-10 has more than a winning record vs. the SEC during the same time frame. It is what it is.

Try beating up on the Mountain West first.

Are you talking about the Pac 10 or the SEC (see Utah/Bama and Wyoming/TN)?

Or BYU chickening out of a series with us

But I was specifically referring to the MWC's pwnage of the Pac-1 last year.

Larry Scott talks the talk, but will he walk the walk? Our TV deals suck, our bowl tie ins suck, and we have no where near the collective financial assets or passionately rabid fan bases of most SEC schools. And yet, we are more than competitive lately when you add the numbers up.

He is right about one thing, its all about perception. USC is perceived as a very strong team in a very weak conference, but the reality is that our toughest games are always IN conference. Only Vince Young and Texas in the BCSCG were good enough to beat USC other than PAC 10 teams in recent years from OOC. And they needed a blown call (yes his knee was down) and a 4th and 9 conversion with less than a minute left to do that.

Many USC fans seem to pooh-pooh the "conference solidarity" thing, almost as if because USC is obviously a cut above the rest of the conference, as if to say screw the rest of the PAC 10, we don't "need them".

Reality says otherwise. We need every team in our conference to perform well out of conference if we are to get the sort of "mulligans" that Florida got last season after losing to Ole Miss at home.

If we drop a tough roadie to Cal or Oregon but the PAC 10 wins all of its collective intersectional match ups, and we win out, we will finally get the benefit of the doubt and get into the BCS Championship game with one loss, ala Florida 08.

As long as teams like Oregon lose to Boise State or teams like Cal lose to Ralph Refrigerator's Terps, we are arse out unless we win out.
