  1. Big Ten Commissioner Tony Petitti discusses scheduling improvements TROJANSWIRE.USATODAY.COM Tony Petitti knows his scheduling practices will have to continuously be tweaked to create a better experience for... This is a TrojansWire article, but it does apply to us as well. Honestly, screw the cupcakes, gimme Alabama, LSU or Utah
  2. Oregon AD Rob Mullens says he ‘did worry’ Ducks could lose Dan Lanning to Alabama WWW.OREGONLIVE.COM Mullens said he is "paid to worry," but that what Lanning has said in public about his loyalty to Oregon is the same as what he has...
  3. I still have a little bit of hope we schedule a P4 opponent that isn't one of our former Pac foes, as much as I understand why y'all only want them
  4. If you're an scheduling nerd like me, you'll have noticed recently that fellow Big Ten newcomer UCLA has cancelled home and homes against Auburn and Georgia, replacing them with Utah and Cal, former Pac-12 foes. Meanwhile for our Ducks, I still think we could schedule more good opponents but it will be trickier in case we want to keep an Oregon State series till the end of times, I'm still hopeful we can schedule a home and home series or a kickoff game against a GOOD team like Alabama (just like Utah and Miami recently did), but I won't be surprised if we keep scheduling a bunch of cupcakes and local opponents.
  5. I've seen quite a few people say that Big Ten baseball is not doing well right now, and that the four expansion members will unironically be among the best ones on the conference in 2025. Do y'all agree? Will Oregon advance very far on the next Big Ten tourney?
  6. I really really hope we make the College World Series again after 70 years.
  7. College football teams we want the Oregon Ducks to play for first time DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM Bring on Bama? How about Clemson and Tulane while we’re at it.
  8. I just sent him an email related to an scheduling idea, hopefully he does consider it tho I doubt he will ever reply
  9. I'll try to find Rob's contact in GoDucks.com, so maybe I can tell him about our proposals. I'll propose him future scheduling ideas, anything y'all wanna tell him?
  10. Is there any way we can contact him about our proposals? Like the firings or the future non-conference opponent ideas?
  11. Ik I'm on the minority here, but I'm sure that the expanded playoffs will actually make good OOC games even more common, not completely destroy them, the reasons are pretty simple since those playoffs will be much larger than before, if the 4-team playoffs still existed then I would understand why people wouldn't want any challenging OOC games I would honestly LOVE for our schedules to be like this: A rotating game against an ex-Pac-12 foe (ex. Utah or one of the Arizona schools), a P4 game against such teams like Alabama or Kansas State and a cupcake. I spoke with an Oregon user named Mateo Pablo and he also believes the same thing.
  12. Well, looks like Georgia and UCLA will do the same thing Ole Miss and USC did... Goodbye, my hopes for Alabama vs. Oregon...
  13. Well, if I were to request Mullens a wish, it would be to play Alabama in non-conference play someday and that's it. But going back to the topic, if we don't wanna play Oregon State anymore but also want to fill our schedule with cupcakes, who should we schedule?
  14. Wish some random staff member would make an article discussing Oregon's future schedule options, directly giving Rob Mullens ideas for home and home series' like Bama and LSU. as well as the most important topic, discuss if we should keep playing Oregon State.
  15. Wish some random staff member would make an article discussing Oregon's future schedule options, directly giving Rob Mullens ideas for home and homes and discuss if we should keep playing Oregon State.
  16. Well, today I was browsing through r/CFB and I found a rather shocking post involving Ole Miss' future schedules, their AD said that not all currently scheduled games are going to stick, and despite not saying it outright, it's believed that the home and home series involving U$C that was set to begin in 2025 will most likely be cancelled. What does it mean for the rest of the FBS? I'm still praying that Oregon doesn't go the easy way and keeps scheduling cupcakes for every season, I'm still eager we get to see a regular season Oregon vs. a random SEC team game someday.
  17. I honestly agree with everyone here, the Civil War no longer means what it once meant, plus Washington is a more formidable rival now. I also want more diverse opponents on our schedules rather than just MWC and Big Sky teams, like, would it hurt to at least play a home and home series game against Alabama, LSU or Florida? I would also mention a random ACC team like Miami or Clemson, but one of them is very likely to become a new Big Ten member someday. Ik everything can change between now and the next few years, but at least knowing Alabama vs. Oregon could be scheduled to happen would make me die a happy man.
  18. Well I wanna know how Rob is gonna handle Oregon's future schedules from now on, IIRC he once spoke about that with John Canzano and said it's difficult to get good teams to visit Autzen. But hopefully he can agree with Greg Byrne to finally get that Oregon vs. Bama matchup scheduled once in and for all, regardless if it is a kickoff game or a home and home series.
  19. The fact Ohio State got Bama to travel to the North makes me wish that Oregon is able to do the same someday!
  20. This reminded me of how much I have kept begging for an Oregon vs. Alabama game, but everyone keeps saying it won't happen... Greg Byrne (Alabama's AD) recently mentioned in a video that he would like to keep and add good quality opponents to UA's future schedules, so I hope he agrees with Rob Mullens for either a home and home series or a kickoff game, preferably the former.
  21. I really hope that they can get Miami in the Big Ten, I don't know, just wanna see the interactions between The Duck and Sebastian on the sidelines. And don't forget about Mario Cristobal.
  22. I wish Charles Fisher gave us a little insight on how Oregon's future schedules could look like beginning in 2029.
  23. I'm completely aware of the 2024-28 schedules, we should definitely keep our Baylor and Oklahoma State home and home series' and then schedule good teams like Alabama in the 2030's, hopefully we get an insight of the programs Rob Mullens is working to schedule 👀
