Some of them are... : Pac-12 football officiating is in crisis again after a mass exodus of referees WWW.FOOTBALLZEBRAS.COM Pac-12 Conference has seen most of its referees depart this offseason. "Four referees have resigned and a fifth, Mike Mothershed, retired after a 28-year run in the conference. Referees Chris Coyte, Francisco Villar, and Steve Strimling have been hired by the Big Ten Conference. Joining them in the Big Ten is center judge Jim Wharrie, who worked at least 3 games last season as referee... " Casualties of conference realignment, Pac-12 officials detail hope, devastation in search of new opportunities - CBSSports.com WWW.CBSSPORTS.COM Amid the Pac-12's dissolution, it's easy to overlook those who proudly carry the conference's lasting legacies "The Big Ten has been the most active conference in this space. It added a total of 16 Pac-12 officials – both on-field and instant replay – since the end of the 2022 season. Six of them moved over before the 2023 season once USC and UCLA announced they were leaving the Pac-12. Ten more have matriculated to the Big Ten for the upcoming season." I wondered how this would effect (infect) the new home of OBD when I first heard this was the case.

Ha... Ha ha..Hahahahahahah!

"Who is this, LANNING, you speak of?" "Can't be associated with any big time program, can he?"

I can hear it echo throughout the empty seats of Bean-0 Stadium, "$30,000,000? PEANUTS, compared to what the Ducks stole from us!!!" Dignity is a terrible loss...

I was thinking of future home and home arrangements, ad infinitum...

Marito brags about a victory over (NO)0 over a team with ONE win? For some folks, that's a HUGE accomplishment! Wait... Has he scheduled games vs Cal or Oregon State, yet?

Always remember, "If you ain't cheatin', you ain't tryin'!"

How much of this is because the B1G hired multiple former PAC officials? And weren't the officials for the 2011 BCS game from the B1G as well? If that were the case, we have no excuse for thinking the officiating is surprisingly bad...

Never forget... was it not B1G officials "working" the 2011 BCS game vs Auburn?

PSU VS Wisky 14-13. 2nd qtr

The future of the running back room looks decent...

Gabriel passing 80% in the first half...

How many series in the second half for Gabriel?

Whit getting rewarded...

Ducks On Fire... Refs, not so much!

Robbed of a fumble recovery... definitely no forward progress there!

Indeed.

If the Ducks keep this up, we all may have under guessed the predictions...

The refs must have blown the pass play dead prior to the football being thrown.

Looks like tOSU fans are getting revenge by not selling their season tix to Duck fans...

GO DUCKS! TEZZZ!

tOSU letting Oregon beat them twice? This does not look like a well coached, great team coming off a bye. Maybe Day can switch places with Riley?

"No Doubt" Isn't that Riley's and Day's favorite singing group?? Nobility Hath Flown Ye Olde Coop!

OREGON 41-7 T/O 3 SACKS 3 Yards Passing 291(+ B1G rushing numbers)

Hard to believe that when I was entering Junior High, the north side of the Willamette (Whilamut?) River, from the bridge to very near the site of Autzen Stadium, was a massive, seagull infested landfill... Methinks Autzen led to a vast improvement in the scenery!
