Thank you Charles for throwing this up there. I took a shallow dive into this guy's Twitter and was highly amused. I will be returning. He is funny.

Has Stewart been back in?

Thousands of orange-clad commoners bow in homage to their overlord’s symbols.

Full legal action? Great news. I heard Canzano interview the pig2 commish a few weeks ago. She talked about how close she and the MWC commish are. Mutual admiration. "That dress does not make you look fat", And just like that we have a cat fight. You go girl. Lawyers burn money as fuel. Let's go racing.

Great picture. This reminds me of my favorite YouTube vid: If you are too young to remember this game I do pity you. Belotti’s final regular season game. OAC thought the Rose Bowl was a lock. The sad natives. This goes down as my favorite Duck game ever. This game does not get enough credit among Duck fans in my (100% correct) opinion. bitter beaver face was on display

UW: the first former member to lose to a PAC-12 team. awesome

Utah State and Eastern Washington are in but New Mexico is out? UNM is in an immediate market with 1 million people and a real airport 2 miles from campus. 30,000 students too. Yes, I went to grad school there.

At least we aren’t UCLA. Wow.

OL not filling me with confidence

A few years earlier than the pick there was a peculiar season where a lot of folks started to smell something. That year was 1987. It started off by beating Colorado on the road. Then a kinda close loss @ Ohio State Next week was a victory over San Diego State Then.......a triumph over Washington followed by a win over USC - both at Autzen. Of course things went off the rails a bit after that, but that was one hell of a start to a season and the first time I thought that maybe............

Thank you for posting the video. I am saddened that according to that film the Eisenhower will soon be taken out of service also. The Ike is the only actively commissioned AC I have ever been on (on a 3 hour walking tour with my then young sons). Those 3 hours made an impression. The size of that thing is breathtaking. It is hard to believe that mere humans can build something so large and so amazing.

I respectfully disagree. After retiring and retuning to Oregon in 1993 from suburban Virginia it took me 1 year to pack up and move out of Oregon for good. What that state did to my military pension was criminal. I have been in Las Vegas ever since and am proud to say that any tax I may pay here does not support OAC in any way. Oregonians need to wake up in more ways than one.

I did and it was a beautiful thing.

This crap will not end until OAC’s athletic department goes away. What a waste of money. Tax money. I am willing to look beyond playing them at the urinal bleachers this year due to the return game to fill out our home schedule in ‘25. Beyond that I do hope that people in the Duck AD come to their senses and drop the idea of playing them every year and definitely not home and home. How about a home-home-away configuration over 10 years? Or how about never playing them in football? That would be the best option. Oregonians, I feel so sorry for you having to deal with paying for them to continue their charade. I moved just in time I guess.

Did Boneyard go out of business?

If I owned the Raiders I would. They should make a deal and somehow get Chicago's pick, draft him, then introduce him to his new head coach and his new roommate, Maxx Crosby. After these introductions I foresee no problems with attitude from the rookie QB. Maxx is tanned, rested, and ready for some attitude adjustments.

Statement of the year.

Agree. I see no resemblance at all in the marches. Could it be that both have a fairly definable “break strain” or “dog fight” section where many school’s pieces do not? I’m going to the grave convinced that OAC has one of the greatest. Unfortunate but fact.

One of the least good things about Oregon is the fight song. It is the trio section (3rd section, usually featuring a key change) of an actual (crappy) march. It is, however, ours. Yay team. UCLA and UCB share certain “fight” songs that, IMO, are great. Stanford uses the rock tune “All Right Now” which is cool and different. But……….. Lil’ ole OAC (maybe by luck?) has a killer fight song. Catchy, less intricate than Oregon’s, and can be played at any tempo and make sense. The best part about OAC. We will lose every fight song battle that we choose to enter. Funny story: I am a retired White House musician. One of the annual events I would be tasked with is performing (with a concert band) the fight songs of every NCAA champion as their reps came forward to shake hands with the President in a south lawn ceremony taking place early every summer. I played them all. The first time I played “Mighty Oregon” at one of these events I was excited until I saw the reactions from the other musicians. Let’s just say they were less than impressed.

Love the links. Those take me back.

Didn't Martin go back to his alma mater? If so maybe he gets a pass? Lock may be getting a 2X pay raise? Gets a pass from me. OSU did a smart thing here: They got a good coach and potentially weakened a team that they may be a little skittish about this fall. I respect their 4-D chess skill in this case.

Chortle

Sure, my wish is based on the fact that it would really twist the knife in the gut of oac to play in Pullman once every decade yet never visit the urinal bleachers. I would laugh.

About as often as we play Fresno State, and only at Autzen. oac's cut of the gate should be the same as Utah State or New Mexico if they were to visit. Premium only paid to Boise with no return trip. In the Big-10? Start acting like it Rob. It's stupid, but I would like to see us play WSU every 3 years or so. Heck, even give them a home game for 2 at Autzen. oac not so much.

I do not know Rob Mullins. I am going to assume that he is a very capable AD due to the fact that he has been at Oregon quite a while and has not been pushed out by those who have $$,$$$,$$$,$$$ and know what is going on. Also, I'm going to assume that the possibility of "losing" the Pac-12 money going forward was baked into the cake with the AD. They must think that it will pencil out. Going forward this is what I will believe. It makes sense due to Oregon's ability to take care of itself. The math was probably done and in a few years we will be in a much better place. ******4-D chess, tin foil hat warning********* Notice UW's AD problems? Are we reading Hardcore Husky? Seems to me that Washington is having financial trouble. So very sad. That half share discount, IMO, will play hell with them much more than it will play hell with OBD. Will UCLA be any different? Even with a full share? I believe we have our poop in a pile and will blast through this half share era not even noticing it due to our unique situation. Washington? Not so much. This brings a tear to my eye. OAC is doing exactly what we would do. I have to believe that this, again, was baked into the cake. Let them have their money. In the long term it is not all that much. What happens when it runs out? I really hope they use every cent on debt from the new set of urinal bleachers they put up. The cost ratio for each toilet on that place is high. Should have put in a trough. My biggest fear is that the taxpayers of Oregon will be supporting that whole clown show going forward. Heck, it has already started.
