  1. WSU is shooting themselves in the foot this game and still up 14-10!! Ole Miss is Ole so average at best!!
  2. SEC is the deepest conference? Says who? They are getting exposed by WSU as average at best. Texas is average. Alabama and Mizz are playing an average game.
  3. Oregon has just now entered rarified air with the highest percentage recruits in these past few recruiting cycles. #4 average percentage for 2024, #1 for 2025, and currently #1 for 2026. Everyone has their own rankings and some claim to be better, but the reality is Oregon is compiling a, top of the line, roster. It takes 3-4 years to bring it all together. An above average QB can win it all with a stellar line, a solid RB, an above average receiver or two and top tier line with everyone knowing how to block. Then have nearly equal 2nd string to back them up. It's lining up to be this year or next year. I'm going with next year. But, surprise me and make me a happy man come January!
  4. recruiting these days isn't about incoming freshmen but incoming Redshirt Freshmen/Sophomores. If they are lifelong Duck fans but the coin is much greener, I don't blame them. You get one shot at generational money. Set your family up. But, when you have that first ridiculous payout, then consider the Ducks with a transfer, for a slightly lesser payout of course.
  5. I can't believe I'm saying this. 1) continue recruiting kids that WANT to come to Oregon 2) when these 4/5* kids are 2/3rd string somewhere else and aren't playing yet, portal them to Oregon 3) I think you would clean up the stratospheric cost for the unproven High schooler for the hungry Red Shirt Freshman Portal is a reality, and this is the new CFB. NFL only gets ~$1 million per year guaranteed. This is insane!!!
  6. Here's your top games for that most beautiful Saturday: Also, price of 'Tix as low as' Alabama @ Georgia $442 Oregon @ Penn St. $199 OSU @ UW $166 ND @ Arkansas $172 USC @ Illinois. $45 Money talks. These are the games people want to see in this order preseason. Therefore, the B1G game will scream Noon kickoff, but Penn St only has Nebraska as its other big home game for 2025. There is no reason that Penn ST and Oregon won't be both top 5 come 9/27/25. It's a MONSTER!! Sunset is at 7:09 on that day. A 7:00pm kickoff would be enormous! It would get the most eyeballs. I believe the highlight game is obviously Georgia/Alabama. So, what time is that game going to be? That's the question. I truly hope that U$C/Ill plays Big noon and Oregon / PSU plays night game. I have a hard time seeing Washington playing the 9:00am game. It would be a mild travesty if Oregon plays 9:00am EST as well as Jet Lag. Actually, ridiculous might not be a strong enough word.
  7. NFL contracts have 'guaranteed' money and then 'performance' bonuses money. Yes, there are signing bonuses, but there needs to be some sense of base pay and then performances pay linked to individual as well as team accomplishments. Also, when I first saw Nic's name a few years back, I couldn't help but pronounce his name 'I am uh leave uh'. Prophetic???
  8. So, does a $100 million+ per year payday from the B!G starting in 2030 warrant a $75 million exit fee? You bet it does! The payouts in the B!G are performance based as well. Get into the playoffs and you get a sizable bonus. Really, the payout discrepancy would be equaled within a couple of years but the real value is the match uos thag come from being in the B!G. Loys of eyeballs watch Great games like Clemson-vs-Michigan, not Clemson-vs-Wake Forest. Thays just reality
  9. Oregon up to #2 in 2025 recruiting cycle and #1 for player averages. Wowza!!!
  10. I've hated Poll Natty's since the beginning of time. You win? You're in. Playoffs solve the gripe. Win your conference then win the playoffs...period. We didn't win so therefore we are only B1G champions. I'll take that.
  11. They truly do not know what they are demanding. What happens if you are 'forced' to NIL pay these kids by the department of education? Then that means the DOE is controlling the schools and that in turn means that getting paid by said school means you are potentially a government worker. This in turn means that you get to 'retire' with state benefits. Now, what happens if these kids get paid millions of dollars per year only to transfer every year to a different school in a different state? 5 state pensions? Really? How about this? Title IX linked to profit sharing in said sport you get a scholly from? (sigh) (ugh)
  12. Texas' loss was on their weakness that has been seen all year. Consistent QB play. Just my $.02.
  13. The narrative being talked about with Oregon, is really about the playoff format. They say Oregon, I'm appreciative. But, make no mistake, this argument is about getting the powers that be to move the playoff format in 'THIS' offseason. They are trying to stir up controversy. Make it a groundswell of controversy by writing endless articles. I believe go ahead and make it a 16 team playoff. Start the Bowl season with the first round on the 15th or so. 1/16 2/15 and so on. Games played every 10 days. Christmas eve has the Elite 8. NYD has the Final 4. The Natty around the 10th. No more than a 10 day bi-week layoff in all this.
  14. Which conference has the best bowl record? Then ask, how did the B1G measure up to the SEC, you know, the conference that just means more? MSN WWW.MSN.COM 4-1
