I ran on the same track as Pre... Once. He lapped me in the 2 mile, and probably could have done it again. I wasn't a great runner, but I thought I was decent... Til Pre. - Today

Five B1G teams, besides OBD, TOSU, and PSU, that could make the PO. Note, the Nebraska vs. Cincinnati game is being played in Kansas City, not Lincoln, NE. UW is one of the five and not Michigan? Michigan in 2025 has the easiest or the second-easiest B1G conference schedule. No games against Oregon, Illinois, Indiana, and Penn State. Games against B1G bottom dwellers Purdue, Maryland, and Northwestern should be easy peasy. OOC at Oklahoma will be tough, and at Nebraska and USC are not gimmes. Seven home games with That Team from Down South visiting Ann Arbor will help the PO cause. Split against SC and Nebraska, and Michigan should finish 10-2 and in the PO. Big Ten playoff sleeper teams: 5 who could make it, if things break right AUTZENZOO.COM Ohio State, Penn State and Oregon are playoff-likely teams coming out of the Big Ten, each with an over/under of 10.5 wins at FanDuel.

THE FRONT RUNNER: The Life of Steve Prefontaine.

He came to talk to my class at Pleasant Hill. He didn't have much to say, but then we went up to the track and ran a lap, and no he wasn't the nice guest. He won. Pre. -
Newer book that just came out that is worthwhile. Available in hardback, or Kindle on Amazon. Grew up in North Bend, and was in 4 th grade when Prefontaine broke the high school 2 mile record. A friend of my parents told us to go watch Prefontaine at a Marshfield track meet, so I can say that I saw him dominate an event as a senior before most knew of him. Beloved, and missed by all sports fans of that era.

A lot of miles but without the burden of playing 8 B1G games in a row. A long haul to New Jersey, but the week prior, Rutgers will be playing in Seattle, so it will also be traveling coast-to-coast before the game. I like the timing of the trip to Chicago. I'd much rather play Northwestern on the shores of Lake Michigan early than later in the year. The week off before playing at Iowa is nice. Then home vs. Minnesota and USC before the short trip to Seattle. Week 6 and Week 10 off weeks are about as good as it gets. This is a far friendlier schedule than OBD faced last season. Thanks for the post.

Flag Football in The Olympics? Seriously?
Nevada Dawg replied to 30Duck's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Why not just play 7 on 7 football and keep score for the Olympics? The action is likely to be more wide open and exciting than flag football and no one ever seems to get hurt if you've ever watched those "games". -

Did I just get really old? It used to be that I actually paid attention to the "Way Too Early" rankings, and it's still silly to even consider rankings before Week 6 and now? What good does, did, being No.1 all season mean anyway? Recruiting rankings at best are just counting up stars. Hurry up, Aug.30!
