Duck 1972

PAC is at huge disadvantage in recruiting top talent because we as a conference have trouble getting 5/4 stars out of the rest of the country. (Cristobal is trying, but still?) Our population centers of Seattle/California have to be divided between all the West Coast teams and of course the traitors who go back east. The rest of power 5 college football has better exposure which is what top players want so they have best chance to get drafted. You also have the nearness for family and friends to watch them. This is why I believe we will have problems now and in the future.

The behemoths of the DL are few and far between and everyone is trying to get them. They know this and can pick and choose where to play. Just look at T T from Seattle who chooses tOSU over the Ducks. The national spotlight of B10 and SEC and proximity of playing close to home is a disadvantage for the whole PAC except for maybe USC if and when they get a good coach.

I have a word of caution. If and when the Dawgs get a coach who can recruit they will have a huge advantage because of population saturation.

Probably won't play 3 to 4 games at least. can't win. What a shame if 1 guy deserves it it was him.

Typical Altman BB. Very nice.

Yippee kyaye m***** f*****

I agree 1 game at a time (Cougs). but we weren't talking about games this yr. But scheduling like the SEC to give our league a better chance to complete against them for national prestige in 22 and beyond.

Great thoughts. Add in Herbert and B Williams in drills and warmups.

He's toast. Huard's carry a little UW weight

Anybody have any thoughts on a campaign by us fans?

Oops - Hayward

Great job Haywood. Just sent mine in

God that sounds like something that would help the PAC the most. Wish there was something us fans could do. I can't see any PAC fanbase have any argument with that idea. Power in numbers, right?

Sorry Pitt we were posting same issue. Didn't see it till after I posted. Oh well to much is hardly the worst way to go. Will say this about AB Wow

Thanks for information. Have u heard a timeline on 8 game league season? Could it start next yr?

Just read on Oregonlive.Com that AB Is a semi finalist for the Davey O' Brian national award for top QB. WOW

Jon I know I heard when they hired the new Commissioner that the PAC would be going to 8 conference games instead of 9 and when it would happen. Did u hear anything about that or anyone else for that matter?

I posted this earlier. How did we get so screwed on scheduling. Home easy, away extremely hard.

Nice another Seeger fan

100% ON both above posts

Thanks for everyone's response. I know injuries are part of it. And I have posted before about recruiting giving us depth. But I still am waiting for the dam to break. I hate that feeling. It makes it tough to watch the game.

Well we just found out we've lost R Walk for several weeks and that S Stephens is more long term. Let's see 2 starting TE, our starting RB, our #1&2 inside LB, our starting nickel back and field safety all out for the season. We have had 8 games with new OL starters and now it will be 9. We have lost JT and other DL and LB for numerous games. I don't think we have played a single game with all are starters from the start of fall camp. I just don't see how we can keep overcoming these injuries. Have any of you seen anything like this for ANY other teams, college or pro? Wouldn't u know it would happen this year when we could be so good. It almost feels like when D Dixon went down.

Thanks for the link.

As a fan I think it showed good sportsmanship to not score there But as a Duck I sure wish they would have.

Through the years it seemed the refs favored the 'name' teams. But the PAC is a bird of a different feather.
