3rd and short was a poor odds scenario under Cristobal.

This is what the proud Commish had to say.

"Patience is a virtue" some say. Others? "Lead, Follow, or get out if the way". Still others...PUNT!

The truth will set you free, Charles. Did you have a closeted Suitemate?

Thanks, David, for the article. I see the present and future different than you do. Oregon will ultimately respond to and participate in a full realignment of the top teams in college football. I believe that the Ducks will play in several championship playoffs before the reshuffling occurs.

So what! Indeed.

This is tough news on a tough-news day. Good luck to Coach Altman in shoring up his staff. Congrats to Coach Martin.

If indeed the strategy is an easier path to the playoffs in the near term that's good. It is very likely a safe spot for a holding pattern as the universe of college football evolves. The Pac won't make it in the end, and Oregon will end up in an enviable conference or group when the frenzy slows, and the top 40 or 50 teams compete for the ultimate crown.

Happy birthday Charles and Haywarduck! Let freedom ring. I've seen Charles' pit, but not tasted his chicken. We had a back deck soiree' here today in Greenviille, SC. NY Strips and Shish Kabob breast of chicken skewers, baked potatoes, Corn-on-the-cob, Watermelon, and strawberry paradise cake from Publix Bakery. Nobody left hungry. Enjoy the chicken and your burthday too - you young pup.

The OL looks good as well in those highlight clips, both at the LOS and downfield blocking.

Thanks Charles for pointing out the DB prowess and for providing tips for accessing Tweets. Useful.

I'll take our depth and variety of skills over any of them. It will be a stampede of Ducks running by, through, and over defenders .

A whole new playing field of conferences is emerging squeezed by media entities. It will take 5-10 years to fully shake out. I don't see either of the Pac or ACC playing big boy football in the end. Oregon will be in the elite level of college football with 40-50 other teams. I have no idea beyond that how scheduling and alignments will work. Darwinism with insider meddling.

Gawd you're old Jon! But your memory recalled some great QB's and some fun facts associated with them. Thanks Dad, just in time for Father's Day (and Grandfather-to-be Day in your case).

I'm not holding my breath on the Beavis fans as I root with all smiles.

I heard the 19th hole is the windiest of all?

Just saying.."Go Ducks"!

I've read Canzano's piece, as well as your post within this Forum. The CBSSPORTS.COM coverage and AD George's words can speak for themselves as written since they are now here for all to read and interpret.

Today, Sunday, on SXM, Geoff Schwartz and Barrett Sallee discuss 2023 Ducks football in depth, and are joined by Erik Skopil. Knowing XSM tendancies, the segment is likely to play through the day. You may be able to find a link to the segment. I recommend it if you have the interest and time. SXM channel 84, College Sports radio. Sirius is a paywall service, and the subject content may not be accessible to all. Sorry.

Similar to the Pac, the ACC leaders met. The reported hot potato in the meeting was how to increase football revenues to member schools. Reportedly, there were other hot topics. Anyway, for the two days since the meeting the Clemson flagship talk radio has 90% been discussion and alarm about the future of the conference. To split away, as determined by the GOR ( Grant of Rights) the only way to break away without penalties of ~$100M, is if 8 or more schools leave together. Apparently seven are ready to announce leaving. Today Louisville was reported as the eighth. The majority see the changes to take 3-5 years to develop, thus one or more interim changes are coming. To compete for championships, football programs will require +$100M or more in annual football revenue. Many are above that already with UGA (Georgia) topping the list and approaching $150M revenue. The notion of interim arrangements leading to future conference alignments is what I also anticipate for Oregon and the Pac.

A P from Peay? Poetic.

I remember feeling happy with the hire of George Kliavkoff as Pac12 Commisioner. A skilled marketer, fresh insights with media and contracts experience he seemed like fresh air. Today I look back at where things are now and how the landscape of CFB has changed. I wonder if the hire of a veteran football administrator, someone with many longtime friends and contacts, might have been a better choice for the Pac? Deep longtime college football contacts, along with contracting and league media agreements might prove to be fire in today's dilemmas and environment. Hindsight.
