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.

The talent is enough for this team to be great. I expect Bo to have his career-best year. Suspect functions that need to perform at high levels to maximize win totals and championships are: -team leadership - in-game coaching - OC performance - teamwork and cohesiveness - the will of the players to overcome adversity to win

Will this become, C U later Buffaloes?

I'll go out on an April limb and predict at least one one-loss or better Pac team in the coming season. Cream rises to the top. Four teams have a shot to become great in 2023 and earn a playoff spot with superlative play.

The conference schedule will act like a winnowing machine. The chaff will fall away and the wheat will remain for post season play and accolades.

The Ducks have far more talent than the Buffs. Colorado will be coming to Autzen to win and has nothing to lose as the underdog. The Ducks must play tough whistle to whistle to avoid disaster. Coach Prime and the Buffs would love nothing more than leaving duck eggs splattered on the turf grass inside Autzen.

Tipping your cap, Jon, to your generation with the title of your post.

Pitooey.

Mr. Canzano rightly recognizes the President's and Chancellor's pattern and desire for a unified stance. In the case of the Pac12 media deal unity becomes a trap like a cob web. WSU, OSU, Cal, and possibly Stanford and Colorado, without the other Pac members have no place but down to go without deal binding the others. Utah will have locked in security if a media deal is signed whether deserved or not. The only way a new deal is good for Oregon is if it has a no penalty escape clause from the get-go which is unlikely. The overwhelming threat to the Ducks is that the national landscape of conferences and top-tier teams will shift during the term of the pending agreement. The uncertainty now, and a new agreement with compatatively weak shares, will further diminish the clout and reputation of the Pac imediately making recruiting progressively more difficult. Canzano is correct that it is time for the leaders to lead. Even more necessary is that the leaders of Oregon, Washington, ULCA (sic), and Utah agree a strategy and execute it separately or together from the other members of the conference. This is no time to be timid, or to be dragged into the quicksand by conference members who have no future in the new order of major college football.

A good and reasonable proposition, Jon. The teams and alignments that you suggested make sense. I'm sure that you would agree there are other good options as well. The rock-crusher of change in conference alignments is in motion. There may never again be the opportunities to assemble so many great programs into a great new conference. The time is now. I prefer a 20-team structure, but sixteen or twenty are mere details of alignment. I prefer The inclusion of both Cincinnati and Memphis, along with Houston then west to the Pacific. Frankly, I do not feel good about the Presidents or the Comissioner. The AD's should be lighting fires, but do not appear to be doing so. Without significant additions and realignment, I would rather see Oregon leave for the B1G+ or B12+. The biggest dogs have already left the Pac. As is, there are too many weak links in the Pac. Adding several new members does not resolve or avoid the looming problems. Thank you, Jon, for laying out a vision for change.
