Best Uniforms In Big Ten Ranked: Oregon Ducks, Michigan Wolverines, Ohio State Snubbed? Oregon has been known for decades for donning flashy uniforms, usually designed by Nike, but where do they rank when it comes to the rest of the Big Ten? Teams like the Michigan Wolverines and Penn State Nittany Lions make the cut with their classic looks. Best Uniforms In Big Ten Ranked: Oregon Ducks, Michigan, Ohio State Snubbed? WWW.SI.COM The Oregon Ducks have long led the country in creativity when it comes to football uniforms, but where do they rank against the rest of the Big Ten? Back when t

Charles, it's MICHIGAN! Wrist meet Slap. (That's not a Wolverine. )

Good gosh...that is it?

Thank you, Mike, and Funduck, for the great comments. I think that one of the four Week 5 B1G games will be moved to Friday night. It cannot be the Indiana at Iowa game. Due to the proximity of Childrens Hospital to Kinnick Field, Iowa City does not allow Iowa to play Friday night games at home. The Iowa game is out for Friday night. Illinois will not be happy if one of its two premier home games, USC (the other B1G home game is vs. Ohio State), is played on Friday night, especially after going on the road against Indiana in Week 4. USC plays Michigan State in LA the week prior, and Troy will push back on having to travel to the Central time zone, and playing on Friday night. However, Oregon had to do this last season, playing at Purdue on Friday night after playing a huge game versus Ohio State. So, and unfortunately for OBDers traveling to Beaver Stadium, I think we could very well see OBD at the Nits on Fox at Noon; Indiana at Iowa on CBS at 3:30; USC at Illinois 7:30 (6:30 local) on NBC. Ohio State at UW is a fit for Friday night. Ohio State is off the week before tripping to Seattle, and UW travels only as far as Pullman to play Wazzu in Week 4. I do not think Ohio State would be against a Friday night game, as it would have the Buckeyes returning a day earlier before its Week 6 game vs. Minnesota. UW plays at Maryland in Week 6, so before traveling to the Eastern time zone, the Huskies should be OK with a Friday night game against Ohio State. A game that would sell out on Saturday, Friday, or Tuesday night. However, other than the city-mandated impediment to the Hoosiers at the Hawkeyes game being played on Friday night, I'm probably giving too much weight to what the teams think about the timing of the games. In 2024, Ohio State was saddled with SEVEN Big Noon kick-off games. Michigan, which refuses to play on Friday nights simply because it doesn't want to, seems to be the one B1G team that influences when its games will kick off. Alabama at Georgia is ripe for the 7:30 Eastern kickoff on ABC with the Full ESPN Monty beginning with GameDay in Athens. The only B1G contest that could challenge this game for viewer numbers is Ohio State vs. Michigan. The other Penn State home game besides Nebraska that could be White Out material is the Week 11 game vs. Indiana. However, Fox had no problem in 2024 having Ohio State and Penn State start at Noon, with the PSU game vs. UW being the White Out game. I'm certain that Tony Petitti has had his ears filled by B1G programs complaining about the game times and viewership compared to ESPN/ABC's far better kick-off times strategy. Whether he can do anything about starting times before 2031 is doubtful. Let's Play Ball!

From a Duck view, one thing is evident; the rankings people really respect Oregon State, thus Oregon's four-game-sweep of Beavis swayed the pollsters quite a bit. The OSU rankings dropped, but not as much as I thought a four-game-sweep would have, hence their respect for the program in Corvallis. Considering our position presently...I'm thinking that if Oregon wins six of the final eight--winning the two B1G series, but dropping one game in each....I believe we have a Regional to show for it. If we were to somehow sweep all eight games--we would have a real shot at a Super-Regional hosting. Plausible? Another homer for Mason Neville...

Ahh just like the scene from the infamous movie "The Room". "I didn't do it, it's not true!! It's bull crap!! Hi Jon"

Wowsa. In the most popular rankings, the one used by the NCAA where they state their rankings are, "Courtesy of D1Baseball," Our Beloved Ducks have moved up to No. 5 in the nation. Ol' Beavis is No. 10, UCLA is No. 18, and a team that I predicted would eventually be ranked...USC, is now in the Top-25 at No. 25. Oregon's RPI is No. 30 with Warren Nolan, and No. 24 with the NCAA rankings. Baseball America has Oregon at No. 10, Oregon State at No. 15, and UCLA at No. 24. USA TODAY has the Ducks at No. 10, OSU at No. 12, and UCLA at No. 14. I will have a post later this week about what we need to do for a shot at the B1G Championship, but the ranking discussion above pertains to hosting a Regional, and possibly even a Super-Regional. All three rankings have Oregon well into the top-16, which is needed to host an NCAA Baseball Playoff Regional, but if Oregon wins nearly all their games remaining, a Super is a shot... Oregon plays on Tuesday and Wednesday vs. St. Marys, and the Bastard Huskies at PK Park, (this weekend) then a final series at Iowa. The final two weeks is going to have drama! Stay together, and get it done Ducks!

Here's your top games for that most beautiful Saturday: Also, price of 'Tix as low as' Alabama @ Georgia $442 Oregon @ Penn St. $199 OSU @ UW $166 ND @ Arkansas $172 USC @ Illinois. $45 Money talks. These are the games people want to see in this order preseason. Therefore, the B1G game will scream Noon kickoff, but Penn St only has Nebraska as its other big home game for 2025. There is no reason that Penn ST and Oregon won't be both top 5 come 9/27/25. It's a MONSTER!! Sunset is at 7:09 on that day. A 7:00pm kickoff would be enormous! It would get the most eyeballs. I believe the highlight game is obviously Georgia/Alabama. So, what time is that game going to be? That's the question. I truly hope that U$C/Ill plays Big noon and Oregon / PSU plays night game. I have a hard time seeing Washington playing the 9:00am game. It would be a mild travesty if Oregon plays 9:00am EST as well as Jet Lag. Actually, ridiculous might not be a strong enough word.

I have to give the offensive edge to Clark. While Sabrina could go toe to toe with Clark in a straight up 3 point shooting contest, nobody in the league can create their own shot from behind the arc like Clark….nobody is even close, except Steph Curry, and he doesn’t count. And Clark is a better finisher at the rim, too.

Thanks Jon for the splendid intro to a week that should draw some good ratings for the B1G. Question(to all actually): how would you stack the TV lineup? Oregon v PSU at noon or White Out? I think Fox would prefer Ohio State v the Fuskies at 9am Pacific, but won’t do it because everyone on the West Coast would complain about the precedent. So I’m guessing CBS picks that game up. If Illinois was based in Chicago, they’d get the High Noon slot. Again, a precedent setter we on the left coast would object to. So I’m guessing Indiana v Iowa gets the Noon game, and Ohio State goes live at 3:30 (because God forbid they’d play at 10:30 EST which would give the conference a pretty good ratings day noon to midnight). USC will get stuck sharing air time with either of those time slots because OBD will wrap up at 7:30 EST with Penn State like they did hosting the Buckeyes. What do you prefer, and what do you think will actually happen?

Aside from the Tournament being in Purdue, and not The Jane...it looks good for Oregon to be the No.1 Seed.

The key thing is, with the loss by the Bruins today, it made Oregon the outright winner of the Big Ten, and not sharing the title.

Not for nothing, Michigan beat Ohio State, 23-1, not sure how the Run Rule works in baseball, but the game was called after 7 innings. After losing 4 in a row to the Ducks, the Rodents went to Hawaii, where they've won the first 2. The Huskies took the first two from 1st place Washington, before the Hawkeyes avoided the sweep by taking game 3. Next week, Oregon State at Iowa.

NBA legends rave about Clark. Not her impact in the game, but HER game. Have you seen one NBA expert or legend talk about Sabrina, much less her game? I haven't. Ionscu stats 2024 18.2 ppg 5.7 reb 6.2 asst Clark 2024 19.2 ppg 5.7 reb 6.1 asst Clark already outperformed Ionscu as a rookie. Was the first rookie to post a triple double. She had only six 3pt shots fewer than Ionscu's WNBA record-as a rookie. Sabrina has improved every year in the league. What do you suppose Clark will do? Clark is also the only rookie to post a triple double. Ionscu scored 30 points in a triple double effort. I'll put money on Clark matching that. She's not only going to eclipse Ionscu, she's going to leave her behind. And she did this with the worst WNBA team in the league. Sabrina elevated the league. Clark is transforming the league. You have to watch her play to understand what I'm talking about. Clark's teammates blew dozens of assists last year. WNBA players assaulted her all year. And I'm talking about tackles, NFL style no look hits. Clark did this with more legal assault than Sabrina will ever take in a season. So in my super hack, arrogant, over the top opinion, I believe Caitlin Clark is already better than Sabrina.
