Oregon ended up third in the conference, by only a game. The Ducks were picked to be fourth in the pre-season, and I cannot complain as we had our chances a ton of times where a game would slip through our fingers. We lost three one-run games where we left multiple runners on bases to end innings in those losses, where one hit wins the game and our conference. (We had the tiebreaker on Arizona, as Oregon won that series) We play in the conference tournament on Wednesday against Utah at 2:30, and USC on Thursday at 2:30 in our three-team pod. Oregon needs to do well, to assure our spot in the NCAA tournament, as last year our conference had two very good teams that should have been in the tournament, but were left out. Even though the Pac-12 has won more Baseball 'Nattys than all the other conferences combined....we don't get enough respect. Imagine that!

Way to go Diamond Ducks!

Ducks got it done, winning 10-4! Now if Oregon State beats Arizona tonight, they win the conference and the Wildcats and Oregon tie for second. Since Oregon won the Arizona series earlier this season...Oregon would become the No. 2 seed in the Pac-12 Tournament and second in the final Pac-12 conference season. Cheer for the Bastard Beavers tonight?

Oregon leads 10-4 after eight innings!

The Good-Guys lead 8-4 after six innings!

After five innings, Our Beloved Ducks lead 7-3!

After four innings, Our Beloved Ducks lead 5-3! Gosh...what a sweet swing!

Play 8 conference games in a 2nd string conference that enables ND football to remain independent and IMO, you have this comin'.

I say, enjoy the ride while you can. College football is not done with its changes yet, and I'm sure we will bemoan them as they happen. But Charles, you pretty well summed it all up. Sad, disbelief, to surprise, and now elation. And now, there will be no excuse for belittling our Ducks from east coast pundits. In fact, the early preseason polls show our Ducks getting plenty of love. Would that have been the case if we were still Pac12? Plus it will be great fun to see all these B1G teams in Autzen. Or always on TV. I too get irked that we have to take less$$, but it's more then it would have been. And the advantage to recruiting! Great coaches. Great facilities. Top NIL deals. Great fan base. And without question, great competition and great exposure. Can't wait for season to start.

The site corrected itself. It had the schedule reversed at first. Good for them.

Those of you who replied (either directly or indirectly) to my skepticism make some really good points. I know well the way the PAC-12 was barely visible to those east of the rocky mountains except at r\Rose Bowl time. And even then, many had to look to see who had won the conference out West. I remember lamenting the fact that Christian McCaffrey, IMHO the far and away best player in college football during his senior year, was snubbed for the Heisman because many voters had never seen him play. I do understand your sentiments! But I also still fear for the future of college football. Can't help it; it is a legitimate concern to me. Now I'll promise to go mute on the subject and see how it all plays out. Oh, as for being at the top of the college football heap- how recent that has been. My Dawgs had spent what seemed an eternity wandering the wilderness, every so often putting together a very good team that always faltered at some point, robbing themselves of a chance to grab the brass ring. Yes, I can breath easier these days knowing that the Dawgs have a coach that will put them in position to win it all, almost on an annual basis. But actually winning it all is not as important as being in position to win it all if things break right. Oregon is not that far away from being in the same position, and that is why, I think, that many of you are quite all right with the move to the B1G. But, nevertheless, I will still miss the ole Pac-12 and its traditions.

Video games are fun. Personally I haven't played a sport video game since middle school but I enjoyed them back then. You get to play as your favorite team with your favorite players and play out a bunch of what ifs. Now I tend to play strategy games when I have the chance to play. I've personally enjoyed playing Europa Universalalis IV as it lets me play out a bunch of historical scenarios and just have a good time. Granted even then I don't have time for a grand strat game so I usually just play StarCraft 2 which is significantly shorter play time. What's incredible is the ever growing esports communities and competitions. It sounds ridiculous that there are professional videos gamers but in truth is it really any different than professional chess players or athletes? They all play the games at a way higher level and faster than any of the common folk. I don't expect older generations to understand but it's growing in popularity. For many having a college football game is super exciting.. Personally, I'm not interested but this will also be a recruiting tool down the road.

- naps are good! Much like an alien abduction, we had an annual release of a very popular video game that millions of people played for 20 years, suddenly disappear 10 years ago. Now it’s back, with a lot better technology to play with. FYI, the gaming company Electronic Arts, which owns EA Sports (Madden, NCAA, FIFA, UFC, PGA Tour, etc.) reported a net revenue of $7.5 Billion in FY24.

2024 is correct. Home - Michigan State, Illinois, Maryland, Ohio State, UW as well as the away games, spot on. 2025 is correct. Except for the duplicate listing of at Northwestern on future schedules, I believe that all the schedules shown are correct.

Michigan State joined the B1G in 1949. U Chicago left the B1G in 1946 because the game was becoming too professionalized! In 1898 Michigan defeated U Chicago and became 'The Victors' and the 'Champions of the West' in Michigan's iconic fight song. The Big House opened on October 1, 1927. In the 765 games played in the stadium since opening, Michigan has drawn 49,087,344 fans. Record attendance - 115,109 - 9/7/2013 - 41-30 night-game victory vs Notre Dame. I am blessed to have seen two games vs Notre Dame, Prime Time vs Elvis (Grbac,) and the Kordell Stewart Hail Mary pass in the Big House. Wolverines in history. On July 3, 1863, the last day of The Battle of Gettysburg, Brigadier General George Custer, led the 7th Michigan in a cavalry charge against JEB Stewart's Confederate cavalry. The Confederate cavalry was attempting to circle the Union's right flank. It took two charges by Custer's troops to turn back the Confederates. Had the Confederate cavalry turned the Union flank, Pickett's Charge may have succeeded, with the Civil War having a different conclusion. In the first charge, Custer, four lengths ahead of his troops turned and shouted out: "Come On You Wolverines!" Both George Custer and his brother Tom were awarded the Medal of Honor for their service in the Civil War. In 1803, residents of Ohio and Michigan fought a border war over the then-town of Toledo, the home of MASH's Corporal Klinger and the Detroit Tigers minor league Toledo Mudhens team. Ohioans called Michigander troops, 'Wolverines'. It was an insult as the Wolverine was considered to be a glutinous, tempestuous creature. Michigan lost Toledo but adopted the Wolverine as the state animal. In 1927, the Detroit Zoo acquired two Wolverines from the Alaska Territory, Benny and Biff. Bennie and Biff were paraded in a cage around the Big House field in 1927. The ferocious animals were so unruly and aggressive toward the handlers that it was a one-season gig. A 'Heisman House' advertisement explains why Michigan does not have a live mascot. The Wolverine putatively brought to the Heisman House leaves the battered Michigan great, Charles Woodson, in its wake. The B1G Saturday site is rightfully referred to as 'Saturday Tradition.' Lots of B1G traditions and fun are on the way.

I lament the loss of the Pac-12 but once the LA schools announced their move to the B1G, the hand writing was on the wall. The Pac-12 had a horrible media deal on the table when the LA schools were expected to the part of the league. With them gone, the deal would have gotten worse. And there are no other "western" schools that could have been added to make up for the loss of the LA market. Once the four SW schools left, the "Pac-6" would have struggled to add enough other strong schools to remain a power conference. IMO, staying in the Pac-6 was not an option and the notion that Oregon could thrive as an independent was wishful thinking. I quickly moved to #4 and then #7.

And the Bruins were also eliminated. Not a good day for baked beans and cod. Come on Celtics! And Go you softball diamond Ducks!

The return of EA Sports CFB game is receiving coverage equivalent to alien spacecraft visiting Earth; the curing of cancer; and Oregon winning the CFB and CBB titles in the same season (without having to share the booty with the Pac-2.) We used to go outside to play football. Now the big deal is to stay inside and play a game. Inquiring Greybeard minds, at least what's left of the mind, want to know why THIS is such a huge deal. Pardon me. I have to take a nap.
