Today is my first day living in a new apartment. In the spirit of new homes today's countdown focuses on the Pacific Tigers. In approximately one year and 40 days the Tigers will be playing their first game as a WCC team. They've been a decent mid-major over the past decade but are currently in the midst of a downward trend that should follow them into their new WCC home.

Also, if you didn't know, Pacific was a founding member of the WCC back in 1952 before moving to the conference now known as the Big West in 1971 so this is more of a homecoming than a new home.
