If I could revise history, I’d have the P12, MWC, ACC, and Big 12 combine to be one super conference from coast to coast.

If you have a time machine you go further back in time and don't hire Scott. We still wouldn't end up in as good of a spot as we are for football, but it would be way better for college sports on the whole.

Considering his status as a high level safety from in state, I bet the staff has the eyes well focused on potential.

As Happy said earlier, being in the B1G probably means 4 CFP slots most years. Being in the Old Pac would likely mean 2 at the most. Some years 1 based on the image of the conference nationally the last year prior to USC/UCLA escape. The Ducks have a better chance being 4 of 18, than 1 of 12. Likewise, Beavis undoubtedly has a better chance in the New Pac of the one G6 CFP slot (just compete with Boise State) than they would ever have had in the Old Pac.

Are we sure he will end up a QB? Maybe a different position would be a better fit. I would hope there is serious evaluation going on for his best potential to contribute.

My Duck-Buddies...I was working on creating screenshots from the game of action that photographers miss. Because there is blur with movement--I cannot use all for articles, but some are just interesting to have. I did not notice until now that when Dierre Hill ran in for that touchdown behind Jordon Davison's block....look what Hill did when he crossed the goal line! DAT did that in the Fiesta Bowl at the end of the 2012 season! That means that Hill was like six or seven years old, and remembered it NOW?

Taking the 30 mil would have been ok for us with the Nike connections aka $$$. Probably ruling the Pac 12 in most sports since $c and ucla had already bailed when the 30 mil offer came in. The Pac would have been on par with Big 12 and ACC. If we wanted a sure ticket to the football playoffs, staying would have been fine. But my hindsight is glad we made the trip even with the 1/2 share for a while (with full playoff and NCAA BBall shares now) and we will be a full share in a bigger aquarium next go-round.

Wow, hard to believe that is the best wish for college football JC could come up with. Talk about seeing the world from a distorted frame of reference.

Charles, i like where we are at now! We still get to play usuck and the leg lifters up north. Sharing first hand in their annual misery Add in tOSU, Michigan, PSU, Indiana (now) and Iowa in different years. Thats awesome.... Plus we are in a conference that the 3rd or 4th place team can make the CFP. That did not and would never happen is the PAC 12 was flying the colors. This year and many years OBD's will not have to win the conference or be in the title game to make the CFP For this old gray beard we are in the big time and right where we belong. Just my feelings. Go Ducks......give Whisky a reason to fire there coach and the stubborn AD who supports 20 points in 4 games, total.

"could go back in time..." How about knowing what you know now about what the future will probably look like 5 years from now, what would you change? Which programs, aside from OSU/WSU, would be in a better position 5 years from now if the Pac had stayed together? Money? Visibility? National consciousness? For Canzano, it seems beyond nostalgia. That he believes OSU/WSU became victims and every other Old Pac program should have sacrificed their future to keep them whole. Colorado will be better in the old Big12. USC/UCLA/UW/UO will be better off by a multitude in the B1G. UA/ASU will be more competitive in the Big12. Utah is probably a wash especially since it is now paired with BYU in the same conference. Maybe Cal & Stanford, would be better off 5 years from now in the Old Pac than the ACC? So, four out of the 12, including OSU/WSU?

Somebody asked John Canzano if he could wave a magic wand and change one thing about college football...what would it be? He stated that he would go back in time and convince the Pac-12 to take the 30 Million ESPN offer, and keep the conference alive. What do YOU think...agree with that? It is funny, but my answer back then would have been, "heck-YES!" But not now. I like the Athletic Department getting 54 million this fiscal year, and that is with HALF a media share that will go up gradually. I LIKE being in a Super-Conference, and being a major player. I like having Dan Lanning, as I doubt he would stay with us in the Pac-12--being on the outside of the Super-Two. I like the exposure on major TV channels, the building of the brand even further. I LIKE where we are....which do you prefer? Is that a damn pretty picture or what? FishDuck had a photographer there!

Latest Update on Wisconsin's Luke Fickell Before Oregon Ducks MatchupThe No. 6 Oregon Ducks have faced a few teams that have since fired their coaches, but the Wisconsin Badgers appear to be sticking with coach Luke Fickell.

Non uniform uniforms are a recruiting magnet. Thank you, Captain Obvious Oregon Ducks Can't-Miss Tie Dye Uniforms Are Recruiting Magnet

Know the foe, five players to watch out for??? Know the Foe: Five Wisconsin Badger players to know Doesn't seem so: Watch out for the QB to maybe throw a TD? Watch out for a RB who hasn't had a game over 70 yds? Two LBs and a WR make the list.

OK, my bad. I was thinking Brock was the Weipert kid Charles wrote about. This is BT's 3rd year at Oregon. Some of what I said still applies. Sorry for my confusion.

I heard an interesting rumor on this today. It's 2nd-hand but the supposed original source would be in good position to likely know such things: Moga isn't hurt or anything else - Brock has simply moved ahead of him on the depth chart. A bit unexpected, but if this is true, and the medical red shirt situation with Novosad is true, things make a lot more sense.

In the transfer portal era, has signing a letter of intent (especially for quarterbacks) become a stepping-stone strategy for those who know they’ll likely never see a starting role, but now have an enhanced Oregon-endorsed resume that could lead to a better NIL offer with a program in need?

That article aged well...

From what I've seen in last 2 spring games, both Austin and Luke can handle D1 football. And yes, neither have redshirts to give. IMO, at least 1 has to leave to get playing time next year. Mop-up duty isn't much prep for in-game experience. I don't believe either needs that type of playing time. Playing Brock gives greater dividends. 1: it shows confidence in his ability to maintain the status quo. This helps show future and current recruits that being "good enough is old enough". It encourages all young players that hard work in practice is rewarded. 2: if BT wants to transfer, there is some film on him. 3: I think AN was a little dinged up, no reason to risk fluke re-injury. I personally believe that Dante returns for next season. I also think we have a very stacked QB room. Which only seems to be improving, looking to future recruits. It will be very interesting to see how this plays out. Love for Lanning and NIL are solid reasons to stay, but a QB needs to play.

Awesome thread with a bunch of very intriguing thoughts, thanks everyone for sharing..

It's hard to rack up that many yards if your offense doesn't have the ball as often as it does. I looked up the game that has the record yards and that was Cal at Oregon in 2015 for 777 yards. The Score of that one was Cal 28 and Oregon 44. A lot more of a shootout type of game than a blow out. Basically to hit records yards either the defense needs to be really good or quite bad. In this case the defense played very well and kept the ball in the hands of the offense. Even though the time of possession (now a mostly meaningless stat) was slightly in favor of Rutgers 32 mins.

I'll absolutely admit that I wasn't expecting Oregon to be up 49-3 with 12+ minutes to go in the 3rd Quarter. And I did not expect to see Moore put up 14/18, 279 yards, 4 TDs... in the first half. And what a nice gift it was to get so many backup players in for some decent PT experience. Just an excellent bounce back game, on the road, 3,000 miles, and 3 time zones away from home.
