*Get ready to mark your calendars. ESPN announced 16 Pac-12 Football telecasts in 2011. There are definitely some great conference and non-conference matchups in the batch. USC tops all teams with six featured games this season [ESPN]
*Rivals.com listed five burning questions facing each conference this season. Their cracked staff throws in their two cents about Oregon, Stanford, UCLA, Washington, Arizona State, Colorado, and Utah. Not a really exciting read, but good for those in need of a refresher. [Rivals]
*Oregon State’s AD Bob De Carolis signs a five-year contract worth $490K a year. The Beavers have moved steadily under his command atop the chain and he should continue to shine. In 2010, De Carolis was named Football Bowl Subdivision West Region Under Armour Athletic Director of the Year by his peers. [Gazzete Times]
*USC could don black helmets in a game or two, next season. I gotta say, they look pretty sharp [Inside USC]*Oregon doubled its 2012 recruiting total over night, receiving commitments from brothers Eric and Stephen Amoako. The twins (surprisingly?) play safety, are listed at 5’11”, 195 pounds, and were ranked as 3-star prospects by Scout.com. Identical twins kinda freak me out. Just in case you were wondering.
