  1. of course the organization I referred to was tha NCAA, not the NCC if that even exists
  2. I can't see much more happening than a LOT of litigation and possibly the end of the NCAA with a football group being created with no other sports included. It may become a 4 to 6 or 8 regional split up of teams. Oregon would be back on the West Coast or Northwest region and probably fine with a split of the annual revenue this set-up would gather in. The NCAA could probably not survive without football money so it will be interesting to see what happens to all the other sports, basketball probably leading the financial contribution to whatever develops. Would the universities be forced somehow to put money from football back into the other sports? Could they if there was no functional NCC or they just plain were no longer part of it? Would so many scholarships for many just disappear? Would other 'organizations' develop for baseball, basketball (men and women or just men?)? It's really a lot to take in but I think this decision may kill college sports rather than 'help' them. Even if none of this happens, Title IX is going to be a big firecracker in the toilet and probably reformatted in the end. About the only thing I am sure of is that football will survive and thrive. It's too big to kill.
  3. Can't argue with those numbers but I can still remember how many times he broke our hearts and killed important drives with fumbles.
  4. He'd better be more than a GM if he want's to coach UNC very long. I'm predicting he'll be back on the market soon and his next connection won't be quite as young and clueless. He's younger than I am and his girl is older than my grandchildren but not by much.
  5. Don't know why and it does scare me a little but I have confidence that Waz has enough of the right contacts to get a strong replacement. OK State is not a step up, so something is going on. Could be money or a coming shot at a head coach soon. I don't follow the college game that closely and I haven't hunted down any OK city papers to see what they have to say.
  6. The thing is the PAC?? has to have enough teams to qualify as a conference or they will drop a load of money and there is not a long list jumping onto that broken wheeled bandwagon. That, the fact that every conference has a last place team, and more often the conference lifts up a team than a team drags down a conference make Texas State an acceptable choice. The new PAC isn't going recreate a power five but has enough quality to not be a minor conference. I doubt they'll ever be a power again but they might get to the level of a BIG12 with some luck and a lot of work.
  7. I was contemporary with Bobby. He did a lot a great things but fumbled way too often in an era when the Ducks couldn't afford fumbles. In the NFL he was a WR, not a running back so he didn't have to hold onto the ball going through the line. For my money, he should be a aside in the conversation and we never ran into a lot of recruits who would like to follow in his large footprints or play for the team he made their dream team like they did DAT.
  8. I'm thinking DAT and Fouts should break up that set
  9. I'm going with one basketball and one football in the same season. Everything would take care of itself from there.
  10. Nobody goes undefeated but this a nice start for the Liberty. Sabrina plays a nice role where she can star or contribute, whatever is needed. Her ability to triple double highlights what she can do in multiple ways.
  11. In the natty, the men's team, predicted to score no points finished 11th with 19 points
  12. I still think one of the non conference games should be tallied as a loss even if they win the game.
  13. and she hasn't been there all that long. She is in the right spot while making it the right spot. Her career numbers are going to be amazing, barring injury.
  14. I'll have to take peek at that. I was in several classes with him at U of O and knew him pretty well, Tried to play racket ball with his sister and never scored a point.
  15. Too bad for the kid he'll never see a championship playoff game unless he hits the portal.
