Allegiant Stadium said goodbye to the Pac-12 by blasting Green Day’s Good Riddance after everyone left

Ask any millennial what Green Day’s “Good Riddance” is about, and they’ll be the first to tell you it’s one of the best break up songs ever written.

Dripping in contempt and passive aggressiveness, the lyrics reflect a relationship’s bitter end. Sure, the song has morphed into an anthem for high school and college graduates, as well as the final night of summer camp each year, but at it’s core it’s still punk rock.

Whoever was in charge of playing music at Allegiant Stadium on Saturday night seemed to understand that, too. Because once the teams left the field after Washington’s victory over Oregon, and all the fans exited the building, “Good Riddance” started blaring throughout the place.

What better way to roll credits on Pac-12 football?

There’s no one out there who is excited about the destruction of this conference except for a few TV executives — who don’t really count anyways.

All year long the Pac-12 has given us incredible action and drama. From numerous Heisman Trophy contenders, two legitimate College Football Playoff contenders, Colorado’s incredible September and Arizona’s resurgence, there was no shortage of reasons to tune into the Conference of Champions this season.

It’s an absolute shame it’s coming to an end.

Hopefully the powers in charge of it all had the time of their lives while the Pac-12 was around.
