Sometime in the 70s or 80s I remember a Husky brought his trailered yacht to tailgate at Autzen. That's dedication to dissing the Ducks but it was pretty funny.

Ranking college football's deepest WR rooms in 2026: Texas, Miami, Indiana add through portalSeveral CFP contenders added major pass-catching weapons through the transfer portal to build elite wide receiver groups https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/college-football-rankings-wr-rooms-2026-texas-miami-indiana-transfer-portal/

NCAA tampering memo promises penalties for rule-breakers: How Dabo Swinney may have invoked changeDabo Swinney's recent fiery comments seemingly lit a fire under the NCAA's enforcement branch https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/college-football-tampering-ncaa-dabo-swinney/

You laid waste to his article, and informed us as well.

Changes to the college football calendar — and transfer policy — may be on the way. During meetings this week here, the NCAA Football Oversight Committee coalesced around several concepts related to the calendar and transfers, including a proposal to impose stiff penalties on schools that accept transfers outside of the portal window. Those penalties include a multi-million-dollar fine, multi-game suspensions for head coaches and the loss of roster spots. https://sports.yahoo.com/college-football/breaking-news/article/sources-ncaa-football-committee-considering-7-figure-fines-head-coach-suspensions-for-transfer-violations-192903569.html

With hate there is emotion, with apathy there is not. I guess kinda the same.

I don't hate the beavers, I just don't care enough to hate them. Now the huskies I hate. But which is worse; not caring enough to hate someone or hating them?

Just going off (not difficult to find for an article writer) published high school 100m times: Gatlin Bair: 10.15 Dakorian Moore: 10.40 Carl Williams IV: 10.49 Tradarian Ball: 10.51 Devon Jackson: 10.54 Evan Stewart: 10.58 Hudson Lewis: 10.62 Brandon Smith: 10.67 Dorian Brew: 10.75 Trey McNutt: 10.82 Brandon Finney: 10.85 Koi Perish: 10.89 Davon Benjamin: 10.92 Jalen Lott: 10.99

Disappointing article. Our fastest guys are all basically 11 second sprinters (except Moore)? I hope they missed more than just Gatlin. What about LB Jackson? There has to be others missed.

Having no skin in any of this, and not being much of a figure skating fan, it was predictable how the media focused on the other (gender issues) girl and her disappointment. What was remarkable was seeing Liu step up and truly win everyone over, even me. What a performance!

Big miss by the writer....(Only the fastest player!)

The NCAA is toothless. Congress is paralyzed. Schools making direct payments to athletes refuse to classify the recipients as employees, thus no opportunity to negotiate with a players' union. For today's student athletes and their agents, it's cake on the plate with a side order of champagne. What would athletes gain from a bargained agreement compared to what they would lose? I've got nothing. But in the long run, are college sports going to benefit from what could be a zero-sum game? Good luck, NCAA, Yuck, Yuck! Harsh memo. Action to follow? https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/college-football-tampering-ncaa-dabo-swinney/

The Fusky rowing team's main opponent in the 1936 Olympics was the Germans. Yet, the villain still won.

26 million folks tuned in to watch the Golden Goal and a goalie make Golden saves. USA Men's Hockey's Historic Olympic Gold Medal Win vs. Ca...The United States men's hockey team's 2-1 overtime victory over Canada to capture a gold medal in the 2026 Winter Olympics drew a large audience.

Is there a big gray area that can be used by “agents” to shop their player to other teams? We all know that if there is an inch of wiggle room, they will take a mile. Until someone is actually punished, it will continue. Seems like a monetary penalty would need to be huge to make it less appealing to the elite level boosters.

Today's CFB wide open free agency, direct payments to (student) athletes, and NIL, have buried this lede: 'Phil Knight and Nike are trying to buy a Natty for the Ducks.' Today's CFB Battle of the Billionaires has Uncle Phil's Ducks swimming with the sharks. And Tigers, Buckeyes, Hoosiers, Red Raiders, Canes, Golden Domers, Wolverines, and ... Badgers? On3 ($ wall) reporter Pete Nakos recently checked in with CFB General Managers (GMs) regarding the 2026 CFB transfer portal. Biggest Spenders, some of them B1G, in this order - LSU, a roster worth $40 million plus, Texas, Texas Tech, Miami, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Indiana, and the Badgers didn't back down when making offers to top-rated players in the portal. The GMs noted that 60% plus of transfer transactions were done deals before the players entered the portal. There's more poaching going on than the Sheriff of Nottingham had to deal with. And to date, no poacher has been drawn and quartered, hanged, or had their hand cut off. QBs who will be paid @$5 million in 2026-27: Brendan Sorsby - Indiana, to Cincinnati, to Texas Tech/ Sam Leavitt - Michigan State, to ASU, to LSU/ Darien Mensah - Tulane, to Duke, to Miami. Plus, Miami paid $2 million plus to Duke in a Mensah exit fee. Smart, Mensa-like move by Mario? We'll see. Players other than QBs, with deals of $2 million plus: WR Cam Cameron - Auburn to Texas/ Edge Damon Wilson, Missouri to Miami/ Taking the $0 out of O-line, $3 to $5 million for OT Jordan Seaton, CU later to LSU. The GMs' Favorite Portal Classes in order: Texas, Indiana, Texas Tech, Penn State, Ohio State, Week 2 opponent Oklahoma State, Ole Miss, Will Stein's Kentucky, South Carolina, VA Tech, Houston, and Texas A+M. Fret not, Forum Friends, OBD is No. 1 ranked in teams that best retained and added players from the portal - Oregon, USC, Louisville, Miami, Michigan, Georgia, Florida, Ole Miss, and (🤬) Washington. Big Ten teams are stepping up. Referred to in the article with kudos: Oregon, Indiana, Ohio State, Penn State, USC, Michigan, Wisconsin, and That Other School Up North. Among the teams mentioned in the article, in 2026, OBD plays at Oklahoma State, USC, and Ohio State, and plays Michigan and UW in Autzen Stadium Brother, can you spare me a dime?🤑

My employer had mandatory oran̈ge.coveralls provided for many years... I had a strange knack for "accidentally" ripped them in short order. Funny. I'm not normally that careless. My older brother kept inviting my son and I to got to football games in Seattle, to sit on a yacht with his buddy, who happened to be a high ranking fuskie administrator. Just couldn't do it.

REMEMBER, NO DISCUSSIONS ON THIS THREAD!!! (Start a new thread and move this to that...please.)

When living in Washington and attending a few Dawg/Duck games home and away I had a chance to compare the hatred of the Oregon and Washington to the IU/PUkes (purdue) rivalry. I would see the hatred, believe it or not, might be a little more intense back in the state of Indiana. Yet in 2003 I am sitting at Husky Stadium watching Gerry DiNardo's (BTN now) IU's Hoosiers play UDub. Of course Washington has won the game by early in the 3rd quarter, when a Husky fan stands up in the section next to the IU Visitor section and yells "**** IU we HATE THE DUCKS" and is waving a 10' pole with a duck hanging by a noose around it's neck .... it brought the loudest roar from the crowd the game had. Add on the Twitter posts I see now between Duck and Dawg fans ... I would say the hatred is real between you two ... but until you shut down an IU and PUke forum for two weeks due to personal threats in the Indy Star forum many years ago, the UO/UW hatred might rank #2. I understand not wearing colors of rivals. I follow the same policy. So Drake, it is not irrational excluding purple and orange from your wardrobe ... it just makes sense to do so with the colors of our rival teams.

The sports 'press' occasionally astounds with it's lack of thoroughness and presumably AI driven writing. The players listed in the article are fast and football quick. We've seen what DAK, Finney and DHill2 can do. Lott should be a beast. But Hill's 11+ time is not track fast. For heaven sake, how do you leave Bair and his 10.15 sec 100 meter time (as a HS junior, no less) off the list? You line him up with the other four, and he smokes them by several meters.

I would say that Riley is dangling by a thread of that rope and he better hope that highest paid recruiting class of freshman can play big time football fast.
