TERM: PAC-12 AFTER DARK
SYNONYMS: #pac12afterdark, #drunkfootball
ORIGIN: I dunno some Twitter thing that just kind of stuck
DEFINITION: The random and possibly scientifically valid correlation of Pac-12 games to a general atmosphere of chaos entirely independent of the execution of the game by the players and coaches.
This last part is an important distinction. It's not that Pac-12 football itself is any more or less chaotic on average than any other conference-branded football. It's that the following disorganized, random, and entertaining things seem to happen more often in the wide open spaces of the Pac-12 than in other conferences, perhaps because things are newer out there, less defined, and people simply don't give two shits what you think about them, ever.
