Washington and Oregon State will continue fighting for Pac-12

The Pac-12 may be dwindling, but Oregon State is ready to fight. Despite the conference being reduced to Oregon State and Washington State, both schools are gearing up for football with renewed vigor.

"We're not licking our wounds, we're licking our chops," Washington State coach Jake Dickert said on Wednesday.

The Pac-12 hosted an "After Hours with the Beavs & Cougs" event at the Bellagio Hotel and Casino on Wednesday. It drew media attention amid Big 12 and Mountain West football media days. Teresa Gould, the Pac-12 commissioner, said at the event:

"Tonight is the start of a new chapter. We are drinking tonight. If anyone has earned the right to drink, it is the Pac-12."

Oregon State coach Trent Bray was also present at the venue. He restressed that the Beavers will be coming out all guns blazing in the 2024 season.

For Prasen, providing historical angles relevant to the story is important, as it can give the reader useful information and help them relate it to the present. He thinks this keeps the content unique rather than just a bland reporting of facts. Prasen believes in fact-checking and researching relevant information as per the headline and context. He hates clickbait or misleading the reader.

A fan of the Colorado Buffaloes since Deion Sanders took over as coach, Prasen expects Coach Prime to make the Buffs a national championship contender. Nick Saban is his favorite all-time coach, while Baker Mayfield and Caitlin Clark are his favorite players. Prasen considers Vince Young coming up clutch for the Texas Longhorns in the dying seconds of the 2017 national championship game against the USC Trojans as the most iconic moment of all time.

Per Prasen, College Sports is competitive and garners attention but it is just the beginning, where a student-athlete can show their skills and potential to make it to the big leagues. When he is not researching and writing, Prasen’s hobbies include pursuing higher studies and playing sports.
