PLEASE READ: OBD Forum is UP, but it is a Work in Progress...
I would love to take credit, but it is part of the new upgrade apparently, because I did not know about it!

Just when I thought their delusion could not get worse....they set the bar higher. Whew! Yes, I know I should just ignore little-brother, but it is a slow time and what better entertainment than to laugh at Beavis? From John Canzano's emails... Q: As it now stands, would you expect any of the 2026 Pac-12 teams to make the College Football Playoff? — @thomisraven JC: Unless there are unexpected tweaks to the CFP format, I expect the Pac-12 champion to be in a great position to make the playoff in 2026. It’s a very solid and competitive conference that includes Boise State, a team that made the playoff last season. The floor of the new-look Pac-12 is much higher than the other leagues that aren’t considered to be in the “Power 4.” Texas State AD Don Coryell told me this week, “I think it’s going to be a top-five league. Who wins it should be (in the playoff) in my mind.” Notice the verbiage they use....for example referring to the "New-Look Pac-12" with the word "new" in it implies improved or better? Right...as losing Arizona State and replacing them with Texas State--who was playing Georgia Southern and Appalachian State last season is an improvement....right? Note also they emphasize it being a "top-five" league? No, Beavis...there are only two Super-Conferences, and only four Power Conferences. You are with the rest of the Group-of-Six, and need to call it for what it is. You will compete with Liberty for the G6 spot in the Playoff, not as a conference champion.- Quack Quack!!! Oregon Ducks Land Commitment from 4-star WR Jalen Lott
Lott (Any relation to Ronny?) was a Rivals 4-Star and offered by Oregon, Ohio State, Penn State, USC, Texas, Notre Dame, Alabama, Michigan, Georgia, LSU, Miami....all of college football! (Not all my school colors are different and unique until we get all the customization done!)

First...to sign in you need to use your email address, and your password. If you forgot or misplaced it, email me at [email protected] and I will get you a new one and text it to you. But email me as a last resort--please look for it extensively before contacting me, and do pass along your cell number so I can text you. And include your Handle Name in the email along with phone number, name, location and the request for a new password. The site will look wonky for a few days as we gradually get it back to our original view. But my choice was to leave it down until finished or bring it back as we work on it--I figured a few of us would not want to wait until Thursday or Friday. There are many features or usual buttons that are NOT there....yet. It reminds me of all the incredible work I put in a few years ago to customize the site, and I gotta do it again!

True, as he looks like a lean guy who has a B1G stomach.- Do Schedules of SEC Playoff Contenders Match the Odds?
Jon...your research is top-notch! I had no idea about the schedule that Ole Miss has, and thus is set up to make the Playoffs...even if they are not one of the top four SEC teams. Thanks so much for the article!- Top Gun Pilot on New F-47 Fighter Jet: “Our Enemies Won’t Even Know They’re Dead”

If the name below from Idaho sounds familiar, it is the younger brother of Gatlin Bair, who is on a mission until this next January. It was a fierce recruiting battle with Michigan to get the fastest receiver in the nation to sign with the Ducks in February of 2024. But the question always was..."would it stick?" I think we have our answer! Pretty good genes, as Gatlin Bair has been called the "fastest man in pads" with his verified 10.15 100-meter time.- QUUAAAAK! Rivals 5-Star Offensive Tackle Immanuel Iheanacho is a Duck!
He is truly a 5-Star, even on Rivals. He was offered by 11 B1G teams, and 11 SEC teams, with the usual teams in the mix as there was Oregon, Texas, Michigan, USC, Penn State, Ohio State, LSU, Alabama and Miami. Iheanacho could be another Josh Conerly Jr. type of foundation player, who could be a future 1st Round NFL pick if he works hard as Conerly did.

A quote from today's Canzano article made me roll-my-eyes at first, but then I could not help but laugh. Are they taking lessons from Iran's Ayatollah, or Baghdad Bob? The conference’s overall strategy is evident. It aims to keep the Big 12 and ACC within view of the front windshield and prepare for whatever happens to college athletics in 2032 or so. Recent Pac-12 branding has been all about positioning. On Wednesday, Gould noted that “the Pac-12 has always been a top-five conference.” "We will be the Mother-of-All-Conferences."- Autzen Stadium Ranks 9th Toughest in CFB to Play
My Duck-Buddies, above is a "Pay" article that I have to do in order to pay the bills. We had some generous donations recently to help with the upcoming site platform upgrade, and I am very grateful to all who chipped in to help. I thought the article above did have some interesting stuff about the "bounce," effect at Autzen, and it is nice to hear that the latest EA Sports game has moved our home field advantage up in their settings. Perhaps all the talk from the Ohio State game had an impact? Anyway, the SEO/Ad Agency that sent me the article is located in Riga, Latvia! Where is that? Right between Estonia and Lithuania of course! Riga, Latvia looks like a wonderful place to visit....- Quack Quack!! 4-star OL Tommy Tofi Announces Commitment to Oregon Ducks
He is a Rivals 4-Star, (Yes, they still have their ratings) and he had prominent offers from Oregon, Ohio State, Penn State, USC, Ole Miss, Miami and Florida. Tommy Tofi Interests WWW.ON3.COM- Where Oregon Transfers are in 2025
I don't think I miss any of them, as they left because they were not going to play much here. Although, a couple of the OL might have been nice for backups right now...but that is why they left; to play. - Ruh-Roh! "New-Look Pac-12" De-LuLu Now in the WACKO Zone...
