The “new agreement” is just a theory at this point until it’s signed. As far as I know it isn’t signed right now. Could it happen? Sure. I personally doubt there is a long term solution that will supersede any agreement ESPN dictates once the big boy break away officially happens in the next couple years. I’ll be very disappointed if OBD agree to anything long term with Beavis. 2032 is no coincidence, as that is when the CFP agreement expires. That being said, if things accelerate, signing an agreement that goes into 2032 will ultimately lead to lawsuits with our ambulance chasing neighbors, they can’t be trusted. It’s gone imo. Even if it’s not yet officially gone, it’s gone.

Dabo opened himself up for criticism by saying in the preseason that he believed his team had the talent to go 16-0. Three things I disagreed with the most from the preseason 'expert' nationwide nattering nabobs.😁 1. Archie Manning will win the Heisman Trophy. 2. Texas will win it all. 3. Clemson, with stud players everywhere, will roll through its schedule. Archie came into the season having never started a game on the road and unable to beat out a 7th-round draft pick before this season. The Texas O-line and receiving corps were wiped out. Sark won a conference title in the B12 with a superior roster (defeating OK State in the conference champ game), but other than this accomplishment? With road games at Florida, Georgia, and what looked to be an improved Oklahoma team in Dallas, the degree of SEC schedule difficulty ramped up from 2024. As of today, road games at Kentucky and even Mississippi State will not be layups. Ditto for Arkansas, Vanderbilt, and A&M at home. All of the highly touted Clemson players on D were on the 2024 team that was lit up by SMU and Texas and lost to Louisville and South Carolina at home. In the 2024-25 PO, Cade Klubnik played a very good game at Texas, but the rest of his stats were padded by his play against the weaker teams on the schedule. This season's 2024 Florida State? Clemson and Texas are in the running.

Echo the 2 Autzen 1 beandip format. We owe them nothing. They are sitting on a ton of our cash and (I guess) squandering it with their new try-hard good guy conference. 2 fer 1 MINIMUM. When was the last time Tennessee played in Memphis? Ole Miss at Southern Mississippi? ANY SEC team at Furman? I have said it before: unless this is coming from on high, we should tell oac to enjoy their slow and painful death. I've got my popcorn ready. I wish you luck Beaver Nation. Remember that name? J.O.K.E.

And use the remainder to freeze the punter ala Notre Dame.

Thanks for your thoughts, Darren. First off, "while the Beavers got picked last" is a bit misleading. They DIDN'T get picked at all, unless you include picking the pocket of the "true" Pac 12 to the tune of millions. Second, I would like to see the game continue: 1) Like JJ mentions a 2 for 1 would be nice. However, I would be ok with an even split between stadiums. Playing a lower division team in Reser give the Ducks a true road atmosphere experience. 2) It is a pay-check game without having to pay.

I believe the B1G is moving to a model of NO non-conference games being any teams not in the P4 (maybe group of 6) tier of football. In addition I think we will look forward to more early season "high ranked" team matchups (ie: Ohio St / Texas this year) as part of the two NFL-Lite leagues non-conference schedules. Every B1G team will schedule "cellar dwellers" from these leagues as "tune-up games", kinda like Oregon frequently used Portland St and Fresno St. as tuneups games in the recent past. ORST will just become our one tune-up game from here on out. Being an Oregon Ducks fan I have no real problem with keeping the "rivalry?" alive AND also let lil bro be our sparring partner before we getting to the meat of our schedule each year. HOWever I can't speak to any diehard Beavus fans who gets to look forward to 25-35 points beatdowns, year in and year out, into the foreseeable future. In the end, money will dictate how it all plays out. But as always, GO DUCKS!⁷

Thanks, Darren. If the Civil War means a G6 opponent replaces an FCS opponent, and, as Smitty asks above, if SOS does matter, OK. The link above is to a pay site that I can't open. I note that Ohio State does not play at Ohio University, Kent State, Bowling Green, or any other G6 program. Any extension should see at least two at Autzen and one at Resar format, or forget about it. Every other season, OBD will play five conference road games, that's enough. With money mattering more than ever, it is incumbent on Rob Mullens to ensure Oregon plays at least seven home games. Home games help the small businesses in Lane County. I would not contract for any future OOC game without a free exit if the B1G/SEC challenge happens or the Super Conference happens. With the SEC going to nine conference games, Florida used this nine-conference-game caveat to get out of three future OOC games, including a H+H with ASU. I don't know if we will ever see this without a Super Conference, but I'd love to see ten home games for every P4 conference, one cupcake, and one P4 opponent.

I believe the Oregon fans are encouraged to wear green for the Penn State game. Not sure about what uniforms the Ducks will wear.

Good post Darren, I'm with you! If Strength of Schedule is truly meaningful someday, playing Oregon State will not help us. Until then it will be fun to pound on the Beavers every game we play against them.

Through the first three weeks of the season, the Oregon Ducks have looked like one of the best teams in the nation, putting forth an efficient offense and a dominant defense. They now go into their final week of the non-conference with a storied matchup against the Oregon State Beavers, the 129th playing of the rivalry game. It's expected to be a lopsided affair, unfortunately, for the sake of the rivalry, largely due to the different trajectories of both programs over the last couple of years, thanks to conference realignment.

This isn't the first time Dabo has done this. He took a call from a dude named Tyler from Spartanburg on his radio show and went on a diatribe about how "the expectation is greater than the appreciation". Long story short, he thinks Clemson fans still need to be lobbing roses at him for his past success instead of expecting championships every year. Now he goes off about his great record and how he will move on if they don't think his record is good enough. This is Power 4 football where coaches make eight figures per year and are expected to win. Look at what happened to Ed Orgeron. Fired a season and a half after winning the national championship. Clemson doesn't owe Dabo anything except a paycheck for doing his job.

Obvious to some, but scorned by others, the Portal presents an opportunity to add depth to positions that are thin or weak. Portal players have college level snaps behind them and video from the D1 level for evaluations. Dabo has an outstanding win-loss record at Clemson including two national championships. Not padding the roster by adding depth from the Portal seems to be a stumbling block for the Clemson program.

It is time to say adios to the game. At least take an extended break until Oregon State gets back on its feet (if ever). When both were in the same conference, there was a certain equality to the matchup that no longer exists. Over the past 50 years or so, Oregon State been the “little brother,” but being in ...

He built Clemson. There will be a statue for him one day, but his recruiting has fallen into the double digits and he refuses to use the portal. Dabo likes to speak about doing things the right way and building from within. But the game has changed. Nick Saban saw it. You can't win with just homegrown talent anymore. Kirby Smart and Ryan Day adapted. Dabo will have to or accept the fact Clemson won't win another title. He had a great five year run.
