Hot July 4th weekend for OBD! Never doubt Danno!

A NIKE for OBD, Of Course, and Corporate Sponsors for Other CFB Teams. These hypothetical college-sponsor corporate deals would break the internet SOARINGTOGLORY.COM The money being funnelled into college sports has become obscene.

Nice. Fun to see the Rivals team ratings now include avg. NIL with each school. BTW - in the spirit of bullying, according to 247, OSU currently has the #6 2026 class amongst teams that will be in the “PAC” in 2026.

EA Sports is Latvia to the party. EA

EA Sports is Lat(via)e to the party. EA is the only site I have seen that ranks Alabama No. 1 in the preseason. EA must love Bama QB Ty Simpson's work with a mop in garbage time? Then again, Meand23 Archie is favored to win the Heisman. In its top 25, EA ranks six B1G teams and 12 SEC teams. OBD is ranked 9th, behind a Texas A&M team that is Blue Chip when it comes to its roster and Blue Spit by the end of the season. Texas and LSU share the ignominy of giving up a lead and losing late to SC last season. EA ranks Clemson, which finished 2024 ranked No. 16 by the PO committee, ahead of OBD. In the last ten seasons, no team that finished the prior season ranked lower than 13th in the final committee ranking won a CFB championship the following season. Clemson is loaded with quality returning players, including a solid QB in Klubnik. However, these Tigers open with LSU, close with South Carolina, and, along with playing South Carolina on the road, have tough road games against Georgia Tech, in Atlanta's MB Stadium, and in Louisville against a team that defeated Clemson in 2024. Many of the same Clemson players on D who are highly touted coming into 2025 played on the 2024 team that gave up a lot of points and lost two close games in Death Valley. EA's most egregious faux pas is portraying Dan Lanning as a Zombie who forgot to shave. I know. We'll probably see Clemson vs. A&M in the title game. Everyone have a great and safe 4th! Speaking of Zombies, I'll be entering my Cybernetic Chamber at 11:59 AM on July 4th, with instructions to be awakened when The Forum returns to the world of the living.

Low key, just opened his sweatshirt to show a 'The grass is damn green in Eugene' T shirt. McAfee showed a clip of him squatting 600# with his butt nearly touching the ground. Amazing get for OBD.

He just committed on ESPN.

Great to see some OL recruits finally in the class. That is one of the most important positions to recruit from HS, IMO. Now they just need to land Nacho and we are all set.

6'1 " 195 lb wide receiver with speed - here's hoping he learns the playbook fast and contributes early. Oregon Ducks' Malik Benson: One Of College Football's Most Overlooked Players?

Female models out earn their male counterparts 10 to 1. Why? More demand. It's a fairly easy concept to understand. I've said this about NIL and I'll say it about this. Look at the ledger, take out the emotion. Ask every athlete to look at what sport A or athlete A generates in actual monetary values compared to the B, C, D, or E. Ask them who should make more. If they say it should all be equal you throw in a category where the female earns more. Reveal the results and see the reaction. WNBA players are angry because Caitlin Clark has more endorsement deals than them. There isn't a single NBA player upset that Michael, Kobe, Magic, Larry or LeBron were focused on. Bigger pizza pies mean bigger slices for everyone. Let's take emotion out and focus on facts. There isn't a single female sport that generates enough to subsidize the growing budget needed to support that sport itself. Take away football and men's basketball to a smaller degree and the whole house of cards falls down. Again, this isn't to disparage the great athletes in those sports. But it takes money to run these programs. Your scholarship is being funded off the revenue of another sport, college is expensive.

Since, 1994 overall, home, and away records (bowls and neutral site games in "away").

Is anyone else getting dizzy or is it just me. LOL

A 6-6 330# INTERIOR lineman is crazy size. Coach Terry is earning his paycheck this week!

My Duck-Buddies, above is a "Pay" article that I have to do in order to pay the bills. We had some generous donations recently to help with the upcoming site platform upgrade, and I am very grateful to all who chipped in to help. I thought the article above did have some interesting stuff about the "bounce," effect at Autzen, and it is nice to hear that the latest EA Sports game has moved our home field advantage up in their settings. Perhaps all the talk from the Ohio State game had an impact? Anyway, the SEO/Ad Agency that sent me the article is located in Riga, Latvia! Where is that? Right between Estonia and Lithuania of course! Riga, Latvia looks like a wonderful place to visit....

I realize this article is just a regurgitation of facts, such as the capacity of a stadium, so of course tiny Autzen can't be as "rowdy" as much larger stadiums like Ohio State's, Pen State's and LSU's. Of course facts would indicate just that. But, not so fast. That Autzen, ask former Michigan coach, Lloyd Carr, can be the worst experience he's ever had, speaks about the rowdyness of Autzen, That nearly doubled in size Autzen can be just as loud as Penn State's crowds pushes the Rowdy factor clearly to Autzen's side. Penn State's cool thing is for everybody to wear white shirts. Wow!

Home advantage in sports has long been touted as a major factor in building a platform for success. When there is talk about turning a stadium into a “fortress”, it means that a location has an impenetrable feel about it, because the team that resides there, rarely ever loses on home turf. So how big of a fortress is Autzen ...
