Yesterday, Fox Sports aired a segment that featured Bob Oschack giving USC students a "good, old-fashioned All-American welcome" to Colorado and Utah, the newest members of the Pac-1012. The gimmick: Oshack only interviewed Asian USC students—because in the world of misguided network television humor, foreign accents and unfamiliarity with good old-fashioned football is funny. More »

This is a Fox Sports segment making a joke about how schools from America's interior West are joining the previously mostly-coastal conference formerly known as the Pac-10. Students on the West Coast are not like students in Colorado and Utah, you see. More »

We've provided here the full transcription of the purplest and most thesaurus-dependent prose to ever grace a promotional video for a college football conference. College football is back, you guys. Let me rephrase that: college football is back with "an avant garde redesign of the competitive balance." That's better. Enjoy: More »

Next season, Colorado and Utah will join the Pac-10 conference, making it the Pac-12 conference. Eventually the league's current domain name, a sensible Pac-10.org, will have to change by one character. But for all we know, 2Pac is alive and emerges every now and then to quench his thirst for "Hand Grenades" in downtown New Orleans, and so the Pac-12 appears to be getting played by a 2Pac fan.

So today was apparently not a good day for the Big 12 to die. Despite all reports to the contrary, Texas will apparently stay in the Big 12 South and the Pac-10 is now stuck with Colorado. More »

It only took six years, but USC is finally getting called to the NCAA principal's office. Postseason ban, loss of scholarships, games and possibly that 2004 national title. You know, now sounds like an excellent time to join the Pac-10. More »

Yeah, 21 months. The protest began when Cal announced that they were planning a $124 million dollar expansion of athletic facilities just outside their football stadium. The tree-sitters decided the 42 campus trees had to be protected and have been living in their branches ever since. For almost two years, they've had their food and waste raised and lowered in buckets by supporters on the ground. In typical Berkeley fashion the Cal officials put up a fence surrounding the perimeter of the trees and allowed the protest to continue while litigation ran its course. Meanwhile, nervous Cal fans have believed that at some point Jeff Tedford would tire of the process and take a job somewhere else. But at long last, the protest is over. More »

Who likes hanging out with his daughter in the student section. With a camera. Really, he does. Allegedly this is because he has at least one daughter attending Arizona. Which makes complete sense. Because everyone who has ever been to college wants their dad or mom to bring a handheld video camera into the student section and lead the students in cheers. Right now, a crying Hasselhoff daughter is submitting her transfer papers. See why, "We are all virgins...yeah!" will keep you up at night. In not one but two Arizona football videos featuring the 'Hoff. After the jump. More »

It's one thing for your team to lose right in front of you. Trust me, I've had plenty of experience with that. Quite another for the opposing coach to take the mic and verbally disembowel you before you've even been able to leave the stadium after an overtime game. Rick Neuheisel pulls it off. More »

Give Rick Neuheisel credit, he's not dodging the competition. He's already announced he's making a run at snatching Snoop Dogg away from USC and now he's pointing in their direction in newsprint!. Who said papers were dead? Not to be outdone with ancient relics of communication trash talk, USC immediately drafted a morse code response, "Whatever (stop) dude (stop)." More »

In one of the more incongruous pairings of this American life, Snoop Dogg showed up at a rotary club meeting to express his approval of LSU head coach Les Miles. Snoop's move has, no doubt, further ignited the West Coast-Southeast football feud that has claimed so many lives in the past five years. It was such an august occasion that Les Miles removed his LSU baseball cap. Oh, and never content with allowing a moment to pass without his opinion being known, God bless him, Les Miles weighed in on Snoop's music. Via his son Ben. Who will absolutely, positively not have to explain away his dad's quote for his entire high school career. More »

And by "go to college" I mean commit felonies. Well, Mike Detellier has broken down NFL starters by their college conference. And while there is no big surprise, the SEC leads with 137 projected starters, there are some really surprising positional breakdowns. Coming in second after the SEC? Shockingly, BCS whipping boy, the ACC with 121. Followed by the Big Ten with 105, Big 12 with 72, Pac 10 with 70 and the mighty Big East clocked in with a robust 33. Yeah, but Ray Rice is awesome (and not starting)! More »

We must confess that we can't wait each year for the crunch of shoulder pads; for cleats churning up chunks of turf, and red-faced coaches screaming from the sidelines. But enough about lacrosse. College football season is upon us, and to celebrate, we're going to get back into tiny tidbit mode and present four things you didn't know about each major conference. If you have a little-known fact about your team or conference, strap it to a freshman, point him in our direction and whack him on the ass. Or, mail to tips@deadspin.com. Today: The Pac-10. More »
