Ten reasons to root for the Pac-10, if the Big 12 eventually falls apart and Oklahoma goes looking for a new conference...
1. The Rose Bowl. Best setting for a college football game, or any other sporting event on the face of the earth, on a blue-skied, 80-degree afternoon.
2. San Francisco. Really, it's not like they're still burning draft cards, bras or anything else in Berkeley. But if you're afraid of what you might find there during an OU-Cal road trip, no problem. Just cross the Bay Bridge and spend the day in the sweetest city in the world.
3. Voulas Offshore Cafe. Forget the Space Needle, Pike Street or the house from "Sleepless in Seattle." Go to Voulas Offshore Cafe the morning of the OU-Washington game, order the omelet with Greek sausage and wonder how a simple breakfast could be the tastiest meal you've ever eaten.
4. The Oregon Coast. I used to think scenic drives didn't get any better than Highway 1. Then I spent the day before the 2006 OU-Oregon game with lush, green mountainous wilderness out the driver's side window, and foamy Pacific waves splashing sea lions out the passenger's.
5. The Oregon poms. Well, um, anyway..
