B1G and SEC want new states. I seriously doubt FSU or Miami gets into the SEC. My best guess is FSU goes B1G and Miami goes to the Big 12 or they stay and become the centerpiece of a depleted ACC. Clemson isn't close to AAU status, so maybe the SEC brings them in despite having South Carolina. Virginia and North Carolina want to be in the SEC and they are in states without a SEC member. Duke brings nothing to football, it's a small private school. I would go out and get ASU if I were B1G to help the western teams like previously mentioned. Notre Dame? Old question, old answer. Until it's forced upon them, they aren't changing. Too many financial and scheduling advantages to join a conference with heavyweights.

With the new latitude in the GameDay Thread...it is not a joke. Go For It There. (Although an unintended consequence of this new policy is a very entertaining GameDay Thread?)

People are going to do it, and I say it in advance. Why am I starting it with Montana State? Because if things don't go well at Penn State... We actually had a former FishDuck WRITER who told people to discard their season tickets, never watch the Ducks again, and to avoid this site when we lost the first time in '23 to Washington? Note the word, "former," and I cannot imagine a more over-the-top-reaction than that. A percentage of people do it... But you bring up a good point; it is not just those who vent, but the rest of us who have to restrain ourselves in response. I've been guilty in the past of over-reaction to someone else--it is tough, but we gotta stay strong. Remember, no matter what is written to vent in the GameDay Thread.... The Forum Will Still Be Pure

I went to the Dean Dome for UNC/Zags. It was th exact opposite of Oregon Football.

It's going to be nice to see a bit of equity here. The number of times a SEC team has been a 10 win team when they really would have most likely been a 9 win team is ridiculous, Ole Miss I'm looking at you!

You went to the wrong sport for NC State and UNC!

Did not realize Oregon's opening opponent (Montana State) beat UT Martin (Oklahoma State's opening opponent) in the second round of the FCS playoffs last year 49-17 (gave me a small "wait what?" kind of moment). It looks like 27-7 just going final. Early returns seem to be Oklahoma State "has not looked great tonight" and been "kinda meh". 360 yards of offense from Oklahoma State (232 passing, 128 rushing, 5.0 yards per play, 20 first downs, 0 turnovers, 225 yards allowed on defense).

I do think this is a good idea, I think for myself, I sometimes do need to vent a little, I would like to think I've always reserved my frustrations for the coaches and not the players. The only time I would say a little criticism is appropriate of players is when they do something like Holden did last year, something that is selfish. Even then, you have to remember that they probably regret their actions and would take them back if they could, usually. I would say there are times I do erase something before I hit submit since I can usually catch myself before I say something that probably is not needed or constructive. With all that said, I can't wait to Jerk about the defense after they give up 3 straight first downs! 😂 Before anybody says anything, that is a joke.

Thank all that is holy and most that is not! Football is back!

OBD, 38-10 2 TO 3 Sacks 315 yards passing Go Ducks!

Nebraska and Cincinnati are close 6-3Neb with less than 3 in the half. Looks like Nebraska is going to pull away soon. Just better line play.

Thank you Charles for this new freedom to vent. It is probably a good thing. However, I know I will find it hard not to come back with a snide comment to any of the “sky is falling”, “fire the coach”, “our coaches/players/play-calling sucks” comments from some of the fans on the page. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, this is a GAME, played by KIDS. That means the ball is going to bounce in funny ways, and kids are going to make mistakes. The doomsayers and negative Nellie’s need to buck up and take a breath before tearing into OBD, cause I for one am gonna have a hard time just leaving those derogatory comments alone. Maybe I will just watch the games And look at comments later. Don’t want to get in trouble for defending OBD from ill thought out, derogatory remarks about my favorite team in CFB.

OBD 41-13 2 TO 3 Sacks (and twice that TFLs) 285 yds thru the air (because the RBs eat and the offense is so vanilla that Umpqua ice cream is envious)

Oklahoma State-17 UT Martin-7 3rd Quarter

Luckily, Jerry Jones dropped a big enough bomb that nobody will even notice Boise’s poor performance.

Oregon 42-6 3 turnovers 4 sacks 312 yards passing

I’ve been to a few cool places. Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge is unmatched. I can’t think of a more perfect college football experience. I haven’t been to Eugene in 10 years, but it’s still the second best experience. Back then, you could get a tailgate spot at the Free Masons lodge for $40. It was a great scene but I imagine the price has gone up. Still a fun place to hang out. I thought the Mo made for a great pre-game experience as well. Pullman had free parking within walking distance of Martin Stadium and a nice indoor tailgate area. I enjoyed the experience there, but getting out of town is nuts because of the infrastructure. Columbia, SC is awesome, but parking is expensive and the wait to get out of William-Brice stadium are can be 2-3 hours. Once again, the infrastructure doesn’t make for an easy exit for 80K fans. Appalachian State is a beautiful setting, but Boone, NC is a dud. The restaurant scene sucks worse than the tailgating. Kidd-Brewer is a great hot weather stadium because the home fans are in the shade. But, late in the season the temps can be in the low teens which makes for single digits in the shade of the home side. NC State and UNC are about as fun as Portland State games. Enough said. I had high hopes for Penn State, but FedEx is trying their best to screw me by losing my parking pass. StubHub also sent me tickets with a person sitting between my wife and me. Hopefully, that person is willing to swap with one of us. Let’s hope the game isn’t as cursed as my ticket buying experience has been.

Let's get this party started! Boise State doesn't look so hot this year. Getting boat raced by USF.

I love the walk from campus to Autzen. Over the river, and through the woods... "You'll hear it, long before you see it"

I’m looking for the Ducks to not be like Boise.
