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.

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.

Jon Canzano was writing this as well, as Texas State has to give notice to the big conference they belong to in the next two weeks for departure to the Pac-12. What conference are they coming from? Why the powerful Sun Belt conference, of course!
That is who you choose from?
Media contract is estimated to be between eight and twelve million a year to the "new" Pac-12, per school. Beavis would have been so much better off to remain in the old Pac-12, and taken a reduced payout to keep us retained. But they knew better!
As Oregon is going to get 54 million this year and climbing from our media contract... Boy I'm glad we made the change!
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.

DAT has become immortal in the sense that his speed is how every player is measured. If OBD can ever get a player that fast, who can play RB and receiver...!!! Maybe the next would block better? I'd put Ahmad Rashad (Bobby Moore) from that time.
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.

That's what I came up with, at Oregon I'd go
1. Marcus Mariota
2. LaMichael James
3, Haloti Ngata
I'm thinking DAT and Fouts should break up that set

Oregon is blessed with a great track and field program. Your baseball and softball squads aren't shabby either. I don't really follow much beyond football myself, but Florida has won a baseball, basketball, softball and numerous Olympic sports as well. But I would trade all of those for a couple more football titles.
You would think Florida would invest in it's football program, but that wasn't the case. It took Dan Mullen to get an indoor practice facility. Can you imagine a football program in the SEC having to be called out to finally invest in the sport that pays the bills? Heck the school didn't even want to get into the NIL game until it became apparent to keep a guy like Lagway, that you might want to tap into those who've been willing to invest. Maybe not like Phil Knight, but there are some derp pockets that are willing to make sure Miami doesn't continue to run circles around us.
I ask you, my Duck friends a fun question. If you could guarantee a title or two in the next five years. What would it be? Would you take two basketball titles, one baseball and softball title, or a football championship?
I'm going with one basketball and one football in the same season. Everything would take care of itself from there.

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.

In the natty, the men's team, predicted to score no points finished 11th with 19 points

I still think one of the non conference games should be tallied as a loss even if they win the game.

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.

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.

Too bad for the kid he'll never see a championship playoff game unless he hits the portal.

Seems like Neville should be getting a little love there ..
What he did this year, expanded to 162 games is HOF stuff. Not saying he could do it there with a wooden bat vs MLB pitchers but nobody else in college ball hit that many dingers, including Walsh who DID have a great season as well.

I think it was down to hometown Syracuse and The coach who had been recruiting him for four years very early. Oregon may have been seen as a better route to the NFL.

The first commitment of the Ross Douglas era is in. 2026 4-star Rochester (NY) James Monroe wide receiver Messiah Hampton has committed to Oregon.
The 6-foot-1, 180-pound route runner announced his commitment to Dan Lanning‘s program Friday morning, picking the Ducks from a top group that also featured Syracuse, Miami, Ohio State, Michigan, Georgia and Penn State

2026 Rochester (NY) James Monroe wide receiver Messiah Hampton has announced his commitment to Dan Lanning and the Oregon Ducks.With his long relationship with Douglas, I'm not too worried about the strength of his commitment.

Not sure how much difference it would make to the number of foul shots but I doubt it would make a noticeable difference since shooting fouls are still two shots and a lot of whistles are blown for those, whenever they are called. It could have an impact at the end of the game with teams more often having to commit more intentional unintentional fouls to get a shot at make the ending closer or grabbing the lead. I never really paid much attention to the women's game in this regard and the NBA has their own version of when foul shots are attempted in the fourth quarter.
The NBA doing it is no reason to follow as I don't want the college game looking like what they play. The women have four q''s because we know "they don't have the stamina" to play 20 minute halves.

I'm sorry, lame excuse, "The committee realizes there are hurdles to implementing the quarter format to the game, including the structuring of media timeouts to accommodate commercial inventory." Makes zero sense, since the college women use quarters and the WNBA and NBA use quarters.
Quarters are way better IMO, simply because of fouls. 20-minute halves can bog down the game because of the amount of FTs.
Probably just waiting to line up the sales staff

Round and round the wheel went and Messiah Hampton stopped it at Oregon.
A potential WR1 and a solid guy in the room

I'm so tempted to hit Rutgers but my snacks would be whole lot more expensive. I'd probably have to re-budget for two nights in a motel and, worst of all, I'd have to either drive through NYC twice or wedge into an airline seat a couple of times. God invented the big screen TV for a reason and I don't want to seem ungrateful.

It makes no sense to have literally every other level of basketball using quarters while college uses halves.
nor does continuing with halve defy logic, only economics. I'm fine either way and will continue watching. Hardly matters in regard to the score. My temperature has not risen since the subject came up. I checked.

Check the mirror. Can't imagine many would come up with a Yes. It's been more than 20 years since I placed a bet, though I might if the local casino started up a sports book. Betting is a whole differet thing than rooting.. Either can be taken too far or just remain a pastime. Subject seems almost like clickbait. I guess I nibbled a little.

When title IX was decided, it was all about scholarships. Nobody got paid anything except tuition, room and board and books. It made sense that there should be equal numbers of them in institutions where the populations were kind of Co-ed in somewhat equal proportions. In response, I'm a little surprised schools didn't go back to the old Ivy League pattern or even their new one.
Programs were dropped and I can't recall lawsuits fighting back against that. The only things necessary were balance and the conference requirement for a minimum number of sports. Where those requirements will end up now will be an interesting (or not) story and it could be a bedtime story for the NCAA.
Things have changed just a little bit since then so it's probably not out of line to revisit the whole issue, and I'm sure it will be ad nauseum. Fairness the previous driving force is going to found in a morgue, far from the bus that hit it. Once again programs may die but this time the result will be a lot of billable hours. Fans are not going to have any input nor are we going to enjoy the result.
Can it become "I'm going to take my ball and play somewhere else!"? The tumult and the directions it could go are worthy of a series of Vegas lines.

Championship You Most Desire

Can't argue with those numbers but I can still remember how many times he broke our hearts and killed important drives with fumbles.
