  1. Past hour
  2. The fact that the words, “Oregon St, Texas St., Louisiana Tech, and Tarleton St (!)” are mentioned in the same paragraph as domino fallouts of the movement is highly suggestive of how junior varsity this PAC has become.
  3. Today
  4. Let's hope it's too make room for someone Waz found to bring the pitching to the next level. Hawksworth has been solid but tournament time has been a problem for the pitching staff with some big let down.
  5. Number I’m hearing for new TV deal is about $7M-$8M/team. Time will tell. Going to be entertaining watching OSU come in 5th in the new 8 team G6 conference.
  6. 1. Men's hoops 2. Ladies hoops 3 Baseball/ Softball
  7. Penn State Wire's top B1G receiving rankings are Duckless. B1G Mistake. TOSU TE Max Klare but no Sadiq? How soon they forget the Champ Game. Oh, and Phil Longo and his Dairy Raid at the request of Luke Finkell have left the Wisconsin building. Details, right? Top 10 Big Ten receiving leaders returning in 2025 NITTANYLIONSWIRE.USATODAY.COM Penn State's transfer additions are among the most productive wide receivers returning to the Big Ten in 2025. Returning? Pena transferred in from Syracuse. I believe Syracuse is in the ACC and not the B1G conference. Ohio State's TE Klare transferred in from the B1G's Purdue, but he's not returning to the Boilermakers. Many guys on this list require me to go Butch Cassidy and ask: Who are these guys?
  8. Scouting the opposition. PSU should be strong at the RB position. Top 10 Big Ten returning rushing leaders in 2025 NITTANYLIONSWIRE.USATODAY.COM Do Nicholas Singleton and Kaytron Allen top the list of returning Big Ten rushing leaders? PSU, not surprisingly, ranks its two RBs 1st and 2nd in the B1G. Both PSU RBs gashed OBD for 100+ yards in the conference champ game. Can the D hold these guys down on 9/27/25? FYI. Nits, along with Whit, OBD is bringing Makhi to the White Out. And, a lot of fired-up Forum members.
  9. From Wikipedia: At Oregon, Moore played wide receiver and wingback as a sophomore in 1969 and made the all-conference team.[12] He moved to running back, where he was an All-American in 1971—in the same backfield with quarterback Dan Fouts.[1] In his final season with the Ducks (1971), he rushed for 1,211 yards, caught 32 passes for 324 yards, and scored 10 touchdowns. He finished his three seasons of college football with 2,036 rushing yards, 131 receptions for 1,565 yards, and 36 touchdowns.[13] At the time Moore left Oregon, his rushing yards, receptions, and 226 points were all school records.[14]
  10. U are spot on. I think with the Texas Bobcats, they may have made a miss-state?
  11. I guess you must have "State" in your school name to join the new Pac
  12. Can't argue about DAT's legacy. I still remember the day he announced he was coming to Oregon. To borrow the name, he was the Trail Blazer, not only for the pipeline Oregon still enjoys from LA, but yes, players from all over watched DAT play and wanted to do be like DAT!
  13. He is from Vancouver BC and is friends with the Cowboy's coaches brother. So, friends of family?
  14. He'd better be more than a GM if he want's to coach UNC very long. I'm predicting he'll be back on the market soon and his next connection won't be quite as young and clueless. He's younger than I am and his girl is older than my grandchildren but not by much.
  15. Don't know why and it does scare me a little but I have confidence that Waz has enough of the right contacts to get a strong replacement. OK State is not a step up, so something is going on. Could be money or a coming shot at a head coach soon. I don't follow the college game that closely and I haven't hunted down any OK city papers to see what they have to say.
  16. The thing is the PAC?? has to have enough teams to qualify as a conference or they will drop a load of money and there is not a long list jumping onto that broken wheeled bandwagon. That, the fact that every conference has a last place team, and more often the conference lifts up a team than a team drags down a conference make Texas State an acceptable choice. The new PAC isn't going recreate a power five but has enough quality to not be a minor conference. I doubt they'll ever be a power again but they might get to the level of a BIG12 with some luck and a lot of work.
  17. I was contemporary with Bobby. He did a lot a great things but fumbled way too often in an era when the Ducks couldn't afford fumbles. In the NFL he was a WR, not a running back so he didn't have to hold onto the ball going through the line. For my money, he should be a aside in the conversation and we never ran into a lot of recruits who would like to follow in his large footprints or play for the team he made their dream team like they did DAT.
  18. Yesterday
  19. Remember the halcyon days of college football? Sure, we laugh at the Huskies and their split 'ship in '91, but that was a great team, and there were split champs before and after, controversy raged. Good times. The money problem, ignored by the NCAA, of coaches getting big bucks and going wherever and whenever they wanted while the student-athlete couldn't get a job festered until where it is now. The NCAA figured the football player should not get NIL money if the Art major didn't, they're both student/athletes.
  20. Memphis last conference distribution was $11 million. But, there is unequal distribution in the AAC, and Memphis received the most. Based on performance such as Tournament and bowl participation apparently. The distribution that year also included money from the SMU buyout when they went to the ACC. I don't think Memphis can see this as a money play. It would only be if they feel it would put them in the best Group of 6 conference with a CFP possibility. Likely football only with the other sports staying east such as the Big East for basketball. And if that happened, the Pac would still need Texas State first as an all-sports member. 4 football road games in the West also would not make an easy nut to crack to win the Pac9.
  21. 30,890 - Tex San Antonio 27,135 - UNLV 20,609 – Tex El Paso 16,771 - Memphis 5,163 – Gonzaga <2,000 – St. Mary’s
  22. I have an idea. After the Mountain West helps us out with our scheduling problem, we'll sue the MW instead of reverse-merging with them, steal their best teams, and lift the Pac-12 back into the Power 5. What's that, Tulane, Memphis, Grand Canyon for B-Ball, and UNLV said, 'No thanks,' and we're running out of the Real Pac-12's money, and we still don't have the eight schools that play football? Let's grab Texas State! What do you mean, Who? What, are you ignorant? You haven't heard of Boko and the Bobcats? What's that? No, I didn't say American Conference UTSA in metropolitan San Antonio (they told us to whizz off), I said, Sun Belt Conference TSU in somnambulant San Marcos. One of the best places to retire to in the great State of Texas. Don't laugh, once we get the Bobcats off of benzodiazepines, TSU will awaken to its sleeping dwarf potential! With TSU on board, we'll score $10 million in media dollars a year! Take that, traitor Ducks and Huskies! We only have to travel as far as Texas. You fools have to go all the way to Jersey. And folks are worried over college kids having too much NIL money?
  23. “Oh, and how about this: The playoff would have featured its first four-loss teams. Auburn (2016), Stanford (2017) and Texas (2018) were four-loss teams ranked high enough to crack a 16-team playoff.” I really hate the direction college football is headed. It’s all about $$$ - rivalries, tradition, the pageantry and fans be damned. 1) Start playing games on Thursdays, Fridays, early and late night. 2) Break up traditional conferences and consolidate regardless of geography and traditional rivalries all for TV money. 3) Allow boosters to pay college athletes an unlimited amount of money to come to and remain at their schools. 4) Set up a transfer portal to create an unrestricted free agency for every athlete, every year. 5) Expand the playoffs watering down the regular season even more. Now it’ll be like every other professional season. Four-loss teams making the playoff - give me a break. If you lose a quarter of your games, you don’t deserve to go to the playoffs. I’d rather they throw in some mid-majors instead, just to make things interesting. At this rate, I’ll start to look for other things to occupy my Thursday nights, Friday nights and Saturday from 9am PT to after midnight.
  24. A position with the Cowboys is more coveted than the Ducks?
  25. Oklahoma State went 30-25 last season. This of course has Perloff completely bamboozled. Sources: Oregon pitching coach Blake Hawksworth expected to leave for Oklahoma State
  26. First, calling it the Pac-12 is wrong! But OBD is in the B1G10, and that doesn't work anymore either, so whatever. It looks like it will be competitive, should be a lot of fighting for that coveted On the CW Primetime game.
  27. Oh wow Beavis...what a conference! The bottom of audience size in the old Pac-12 with Oregon State and Washington State, but you add Utah State, Colorado State, Texas State,...etc.? Yikes. Sure, they know what they're doing...
  28. Between 8 and 12 million? I don't believe it. Sure, it will cover several states, but gaining a tv viewership?! Really? Barely D1 schools. Don't see any teams making a football playoff. How will they afford the $20.5M athelete payroll? Pac12 indeed! (8)?
