Pac-12: Remember That Quarterback League?
Not gonna lie, finances and being nationally invisible aside, I miss it.

What? Beavers to the Big-12...
B12 has never been interested under any scenario, Why would they suddenly be interested in adding a couple outpost programs that add nothing to the mix? When the B12 went west they added the top programs from the cities of Phoenix, Tucson, SLC, and Denver. Why is now the time to willingly add some leaches? I find this a bit hard to believe.

Best Opening Week Game?
After last season, I think the crap shoot really is what happens if FSU loses by 28 at home to open the season? Lose by 50 get fired on the sideline? 😜 Great thread, gimme some football!

Best Opening Week Game?
Didn’t scroll down far enough on the list of games, ND@Miami pretty epic on multiple levels

Best Opening Week Game?
Hard to top that one! Depends on how they’re defining week zero this year 😂 There are several games on 8/23, but there are quite a few good/interesting first games (on paper at least) a week later. Alabama@FSU and Auburn@Baylor are the types of games that could lead to some very hot seats or some big program turnarounds. GaTech@CU very interesting game, ditto LSU@Clemson.

Ducks/Big Ten Basketball
This. Florida lost in first round last year if I’m not mistaken. Wild thing about basketball is that one player can flip everything, anyone guessing anything prior to the portal running its course is just…guessing. As to Wilner, at this point he’s up there with clownzano in my world view.

Jackson Shelstad Returning to Oregon Ducks, Skipping NBA Draft
Good news he’s not transferring or anything, we definitely need him! Funny how there seems to be 50 college teams with 3+ “draft worthy” players out there for a 2 round draft. 🤔

RUH-ROH! "Did Oregon State, Washington State Build a Pac-12 They're Not Good Enough to Compete In?"
My take is their short term greed killed them along with a commissioner more concerned about her job existing than the conference being successful. There was a moment in time when the PAC brand might have still relatively resonated, that they needed to immediately reverse merge with the MWC and negotiate a media deal that might have fetched $15-20m per team. But they took the short term cash hoping for who knows what. Now they’re holding onto a brand nobody cares about while creating a hostile and competitive market with the MWC. Well done piggies!

Impact on the B1G From Former Pac-12 Teams Thus Far...

RUH-ROH! "Did Oregon State, Washington State Build a Pac-12 They're Not Good Enough to Compete In?"
Great find! I’ve been saying all along that there is nothing to suggest the PIG2 won’t ultimately find themselves in nearly the same place if they rebuild the PAC into a top G6 conference. A bit of a paradox, if they’re adding teams with large recruiting advantages and better geography than the PIG2 have, they’ll slip to at best middle of the conference. If they’re adding teams they can have sustained success against it won’t be a top G6. Enjoy the bean counting wars piggies, you peaked a year ago. 😂

OUCH, Tracey Enters Portal
I’d really guess in this case the kid was a senior with one more year of eligibility left who wants more playing time. His production actually declined from his junior year which isn’t a good trend if you want to go out with a bang. A guard shooting under 70% from the free throw line his senior year is not a great lagging indicator imo. Bittle did exactly what he should do, but in the universe where we have NIL I’ll be very surprised if he’s not back.
-
OUCH, Tracey Enters Portal
I mean, nothing against the kid, but a senior that averaged 6.9 points and 2.8 rebounds off the bench hitting the portal isn’t exactly a red alert or this teams biggest issue imo. We need a serious infusion of offensive firepower.

THE FINAL FOUR - THE SEC ($$$) SCORES
Hope they enjoy the scraps, then again, they’ve always been bottom feeders gaining from other’s success, so this is nothing new. Biggest difference now is even fewer people know they exist. 😜

Texas Longhorn Jumps to Oregon Through Transfer Portal
6’7, 185 and can’t shoot the three. I wish him luck!

The Civil War Should Be the Spring Game
An exercise in imagination. Why limit it to Beavis? Let’s get some NFL crossover to really test our players. 🙃

NCAA Men's Tourney, Round 2, Oregon Blows Lead, Eliminated by Arizona 87-83
Indeed on the free throws. Very entertaining game that makes me realize how much I miss the old PAC. Different level of being into it against these guys. We had to make the move to the B1G, but now that we’ve completed a season of hoops and football, I’m not a fan of it at all. Okay season in hoops, nothing wrong with making the tourney and winning a game.

Don’t get me wrong, SEC losing not a bad thing either…I can’t lose!

St John’s fever is annoying me 😂 One of the few times I’ll ever root for the SEC AND Calipari coming up!

Is Nate Bittle the Best Ducks Center of All Time?
Given NIL versus his prospects as a pro, I’d be surprised if he didn’t come back

Is Nate Bittle the Best Ducks Center of All Time?
I’d also say Blair. He was All-Pac 3 times with a questionable roster and coach.

Spartans Hold Off the Ducks 74-64
Yep, I think the tiny stature starts to show up when it’s day 2 and they start getting bounced around by NBA sized guards on loose balls. Might be more navigable in the big tourney without back to back games.
-
Spartans Hold Off the Ducks 74-64
Yep, every loose ball on their shots, particularly missed free throws, seems like they had at least 3 offensive boards on a missed free throw.
-
Spartans Hold Off the Ducks 74-64
Listed of course, Barth is probably 5’11 tops.
-
Spartans Hold Off the Ducks 74-64
Tiny guards can be manageable during the overall regular season, but not in big boy time. Our guards are soooo small.

Spartans Hold Off the Ducks 74-64
Yes, we needed to join this conference but I don’t have to like it.
