I've never officially heard the reason. I know they wanted to try to somewhat mimmick the vibe at Mac Court. But, I don't think suites would have made a difference, and it's an easy revenue generator. Hmmm....

I thought about that with Boetcher returning. A great walk-on story from Eugene. But, does a guy like that make it at Ohio State? Probably not.

thanks. Sure, the basketball analogy is not an exact comparison, kinda apples and oranges. In football, the 64th ranked team (roughly what a 16 seed is ranked overall) would have virtually no chance at beating the top team in the in country. Much better odds in basketball to do so. But, my main point was the "feeling" of the let down, which believe to be similar. Yes, woulda been nice to have a home game, hopefully the future changes include giving any team with a bye a home game for the quarterfinals. If the ducks had played the buckeyes again at home it would probably offset a lot of the "rust."

Thanks, Jon, Yup, there is no logic or reason, and that's why we tune in to watch every week!

Great points! Yup, the ducks continue to improve... and it keeps on going!

Good points. Yup,it's crazy to see how far we have come in the past decade. Oregon has beefed up, now need to also get the depth of those schools.

It's rewarding to know that i'm making a difference! lol

They have been up an down, wonder if they'll come out flat in the championship game, that would be interesting.

That's a good sign!

yeah, i think we're all kinda hoping that they do. If they play the way they have, they will

Good point. But, the no natty is what I feel holds the Ducks back.

Good points. With the good, young coach, we have much to look forward to.

Maybe the "9 out of 10" proclamation was a little emotional (and maybe i figured it might catch the ire of some, lol, oops). Things got better throughout the course of the season, until the defensive performance against Penn State. Maybe it was just a single poor performance, but definitely raised questions.

NIL.... good or bad, it's a whole new world.

Plus, the home game! Great for fans and extra home game revenue!

Yup. But, in college we've been trained that the regular season everything! No more. I could see where they ditch the conference championship games and expand the playoff.

Thaks. Yup, the game was just a trainwreck!

Agree. But, not necessarily lose on purpose, but like in Week 18 of the NFL, sit key players to avoid injury if you are a playoff team with nothing to play for. Like Mahomes and Allen this past Sunday.

Good ole Tee, waiting for his day to join a team to be its 1A.

Yup, like Rodney Dangerfield getting into Bushwood Country Club!!!

Great points, will be interesting to see if the "nobody cares" bowls will stick around.

Haha yes, I don't follow soccer closely, but allowing "offsides" would not hurt the sport. Might turn a few of those boring 0-0 games into an explosive 1-0 game. lol

Great points. Yes, should definitely separate top (ducks, buckeyes, while a lightweight like IU can go wherever) conference foes as much as reasonable and possible.

Especially if the refs are ex-Pac12 officials, then the Ducks are really screwed! lol!!!!

I have HASSLED THE HOFF. Back in 2007, in my LA days, I was at the huge street party in West Hollywood for Halloween and literally bumped into David Hasselhoff (alcohol was involved by both parties). I was all, "Hey! you're David Hasselhoff dressed up like Jack the Ripper!" The Hoff, "You got it, man!" We then bro-hugged it out and went on our merry, stumbling, ways. A good memory, I think.........
