Fire Larry Scott

Oh my God. I just saw this because the game was played in the Beijing time zone last night: Washington State, #8, 10-1, and PAC 12 commissioner Scott’s last, best, forlorn hope of getting into the four team playoff laid an apple last night at home, in the snow, against arch-rival 8-3, #16 Washington 28-15. That sets up the conference title game that no one wants to, or will, see between current #17, 8-3 Utah, who play their arch-rival Brigham Young tonight when every normal person will be getting ready for bed, and the afore-referenced “Poodles”. That’s a Conference USA mathchup and the winner has NO CHANCE of making the playoff.

Under Scott the PAC expanded to Utah and Colorado confusing its brand, mocking its name (which is the new normal), created its own television network which nobody watches, and diluted its champion’s bona fides by adding a title game which guarantees that one of its two best teams will get an additional L. Great Scott! Not. Fire Larry Scott.
