[Is San Diego State an Answer?]

McDuck and NJDuck have it right. Remember ratings are not based on actual viewers watching but 'potential' viewers. That's why the LA LA land market is so important. 

 

I know it doesn't make sense but what in our world makes sense. Reality is reality tho.

 

I will say that from what I've read and heard the PAC hasn't said no completely to adding and expanding in the future, just not this year.

[Bama's Newest Commit RB Justice Hayes is Recruiting Richard Young]

I remember hearing that u usually only bring in 1 RB per class. Last yr was an anomaly by getting both McGee and Cardwell.

 

With McGee becoming a WR this yr, it would be a real coup if we were able to bring in Dowdell (Thunder) and Young (Lightning) to pair with the best QB in the nation. 

 

That's roster spots that are well worth it. That puts us with the best of the best.

[Dante Moore and NIL]

On DucksWire 7 19 article by Z Neal someone's discussing the NIL with D Moore. Guys we got the best in the QB of the bunch. He's not here because of the money but the fit of being a Duck. How refreshing and mature. Doesn't sound like a Prima Donna to me.

[No Work-Life Balance In Coaching]

Did anyone hear if NCAA ratified the unlimited number of official visits? DL said it would make it impossible to have any kind of home life if they went ahead with the idea. It's bad enough.

[Is San Diego State an Answer?]

The idea is they don't mesh or raise the needle in income, in fact they would lower it, from what I've read. Even with being in SoCal they and so far any of the others that have been mentioned like BSU, FSt., etc don't bring enough to the media table. Which means less money to split 12 ways vrs the same money 10.

They keep the losers to bolster their top teams record.

[World Championship Defined by Devon Allen's DQ]

You forgot loosing the OC and our best safety the day before the game.

[Just for Fun: Pictures from Oregon22]

Yup that's sooo much better than medals. Snicker

[Canzano: Pac-12 + Big 12 Doesn't Fit...On to the ACC]

My take is the PAC will stay together if the $$$ are sufficient in the upcoming media deal. We all know it won't be in the league of the B1G and SEC but if it's livable this makes the most sense.

 

As long as we schedule top opponents in the ooc which we would have 4 games now and win or not get blown out and win our conference games we will still be able to get to CFB PO.

Are we not paying close to that?

I don't think we allow that information to be public. We did post something that said all the players are receiving something. Don't think there were any numbers tho.

[Just for Fun: Pictures from Oregon22]

Sure would liked to have been there. I think I went to the old Haywood Field several times when I lived in Eugene.

 

Plus I threw Discus in the state championshi's track and field meet there in 1972. Didn't do very well, but quite the experience.

[Big 12, Pac-12 May be Realizing They're Worth More Together Than Apart]

Haven't heard anything from U of O or UW as of yet. Since they are the bigs of the remaining PAC, I posit that they are waiting for the numbers to come in from the media and then determine what they will do.

[Ducks Football 2022 Preview]

I don't believe our CB room is going to be a a weakness. I believe that Manning and Gonzo are the starters.

 

Dickerson will be my surprise player this year. He is joined by Barkins, the 2 Kalil's, and Terrell. That's 3 deep.

 

Then you add our experience and depth at safety, with outstanding coaches and the sky's the limit for our defensive backfield.

[Win-Loss Predictions for Every Pac-12 Football Team]

My take is they have us losing to Cal and OSU because they are away games. This poll seems to put a lot of advantages on winning at home by looking at all of the schedules.

 

We will be road warriors because of our team experience this year. I believe losing on the road to lesser talented teams is due to youth and inexperience.

[The No. 2 RB in 2023 should be with the No. 2 QB]

I believe we are in a good spot to get him because I believe, with Bama taking Haynes and the fact we got his last visit, we are ahead of UGA in the C3 poll. Looks like we are coming up feathers.

[Canzano: 'UCLA's Leadership Will be Cowering for Forgiveness']

Don't u mean hopefully take them off our hands if the deal falls thru. would love to see them get beat up in the B1G. I don't like the uncivilized spoiled children at all. 

[Sources: Big 12, Pac-12 Won't Partner as Talks Officially End]

The president of WSU said we will be surprised by the deal we will get from ESPN according to what the PAC commissioner's negotiating is creating, with the PAC staying at the current 10 schools. 

[Jurrion Dickey is a 5-Star!]

Hayward I agree with everything you said and when he get on campus believe me DL doesn't care how many he has. He will have to prove it on the field.

 

But there is one thing that the star system of recruits does help. Confidence and national reputation.

 

The more 5's than 3' we get help us in the national standings. Which brings better chances of winning since that's what it takes.

 

Oh and getting other better recruits to come join the flock. So the more the better for the Ducks.

[Big 12, Pac-12 May be Realizing They're Worth More Together Than Apart]

Head of the SEC said they are staying with the 16 teams. The B1G doesn't want us. Merging with B12 would probably lower the money right now that our commissioner has been negotiating with the media.

 

Just read statement by WSU s President. He said a week ago he wasn't sure but this week is looking better and that fans would be surprised at the traction and value Khinichof sic is hearing and transmitting to the schools.

 

Will it be in the super conferences league, no, but will be sufficient. The PAC survives at 10 schools with cursitory looks at expanding. He is very positive that's the best way foreward.

[Can I Use 'That Word' Now? Reacting to a Paul Finebaum Joke/Observation]

It's waaaaay to soon. But we need to be thinking ahead just in case he turns out to be great like we all believe he will.

 

There are several jobs I think would take him away from us. Alabama, UGA and tOSU. Would you fault him those dream jobs? I wouldn't!

[Backlash as Devon Allen DQ'd by 'BS Rule']

Annie, I had same idea but yours was more precise.

[Canzano: 'UCLA's Leadership Will be Cowering for Forgiveness']

Yes and mitigating the loss to the college system is going to be a high bar to cross by UCLA LA Land. Maybe the B1G won't want the hassle in the end.

[Dante Moore Now Rated No. 2 Overall Prospect for 2023]

Yes, of course. I believe it's between UGA and us now. But you also want the big guys up front to make holes and pass block.

According to what I read, he said 6 to 7 yrs football and then back to the track. Might be sooner if he were not to make a team. Can't see that happening, but!
