Thanks David, as I think S&G Coach Wilson Love is a secret weapon that is now reaping benefits. This is the healthiest we have been going into Civil War that I can recall in a long time. (Knock on wood!)

What has been interesting is the massive readership of that article, and the "hate" emails I've received. You would think that if they were actually going to write me personally that they would have their Ducks lined up? Nope. They are idiots, who, in a few cases had not even read the article. (You can tell by banal nonsense they spout that was already well covered in the article) But they are Beavers...

I disagree. They are overpaid millions for decades, and now this?

I did not say they shouldn't try it. But it will quickly be seen for the sham that it is. They are trying to cheat Oregon out of 35 million. I have no such sympathy for them.

Nor will it fool the consuming public, ESPN or Fox.

Stealing should not be rewarded.

When it involves Our Beloved Ducks....I can get passionate. I have been waiting for other journalists to call out the lies, and deception. So I thought that Civil War Week was a good time for this... Yes, but this the biggest attempted theft in NCAA history, and I think people need to take it serious and not get sidetracked thinking about two years ago. We are talking about 35 million to Our Beloved Ducks, and a ton more over ensuing years. Nobody else is calling this what it really is...

Within this whole discussion is the attempt to fool everyone about the future of OSU/WSU, yet the entities who will be paying for media rights will not be fooled at all. There is no Pac-12 brand any longer, nor is there actually a Pac-2. What is the bottom line of the Pac-2? It is the Mountain West with two new teams who have been valued by the marketplace as Mountain West teams. Do you think Fox or ESPN will pay this new Pacific conference more than an Mountain West contract? No, of course not. Their viewership and brand is the same as other Mountain West teams, and for them to pretend that they are going to create a new conference....with Mountain West teams and try to assert they deserve more money as a result? ESPN and Fox will laugh in their face. It is a lame attempt at....

If they get away with stealing more than their one-twelfth share, the we should never play them again in any sport.

I like a lot of his reporting and writing, but the other side of him is what you and I have described. But he is very clever at pulling people away from the real issue, by bringing emotional elements into it.

The holder for Field Goals took the muffed snap, and threw the second interception in the ASU game.

My Texas Tech friend was gloating before the season about how much Tyler has improved, how Oregon blew it by losing him, and how Shough was going to chew up the Ducks in Lubbock. A few weeks ago—he lamented how TT was destined to always make the bad decision at the worst times. Now THEY were done with him!

I understand how some here wish to equate the Beavers being overpaid the same as Oregon compared to the LA schools. To me, that is a diversion for talking points, but does not address the serious issue taking place… The PAC-2 are dead set on stealing 400 million from 10 schools, and nobody is calling this theft for what it is. Nobody in the media is addressing the true value of OSU and WSU. A discussion of what the LA schools wanted—is simply a pivot away from current reality, and feeds right into the Canzano strategy of distracting you, and making you feel sorry for the PAC-2 without looking at how they are trying to flat-out steal Oregon’s rightful share that was earned. I hope the PAC-12 attorneys stay on point, and do not be so easily diverted.

Canzano is selling out Oregon, and his Duck readers for the biggest theft ever in NCAA history. You know me; I always present facts and reasonable rationale. See it on Monday...

Glad to see someone else observe that. It could haunt us later..

At both Oregon AND Texas Tech?

No! They have been stealing from Oregon, and will continue to if we wimp out. See 11-20-23 article on FishDuck.

What a bunch of PC crap. Note that neither the administration of Oregon or Oregon State have come up with a replacement name after a couple of years? Weak people.

Cam Ward would fit SO WELL, and would benefit from a Will Stein offense, IMHO.

He is helping us, as he is a big man inside. That respect given will come back,...and the good news? He is the Big-12's problem now. Because he will be one. Damn good coach.

At crunch time he loses confidence, makes the bonehead mistake or gets injured. Can't survive a season. Hard pass.

OK....now I gotta share this. When we played at Washington, I was watching ESPN GameDay when I saw maybe the funniest sign ever. It HAD to be from a graduate Psychology student, and even when you disagree--you have to admit it is funny! Oregon is GREEN with Penix Envy!

Well, Oregon beat USC by nine in Autzen, and the Huskies beat the Trojans by ten in the Coliseum. I can't complain overall with the Washington game, as we had our chances. But I think an analyst on the Pac-12 Network today said it best, "if there was an award for the most pissed-off team in America....Oregon would win it hands-down. They have been playing with a sense of mission and intensity since that loss like no other team."

I am certainly going to have them stopped immediately. But the ad platform people do not arrive at work until Monday morning. If I have the site up on a page on the forum....you are right, in that a video starts blaring! They gotta go, and WILL. My sincere apologies to all.
