Down 5-0 with Ian Umlandt shelled and gone after one inning, and Our Beloved Ducks came fighting back! A two run homer by Eugene's best Bryce Boettcher, and then a three-run homer by him!

Amen. It is astounding the size of their fan/alumni base. There really is no alterative to Ohio State or Penn State in their particular states, and Michigan is just huge nationally. We're in a GOOD PLACE now...

I can hardly imagine they lack money from their alumni, especially considering how much better they consider themselves than everyone.

This one is also on TV! Pac-12 Network, or Pac-12 Oregon, in addition to streaming.

We need cannon fodder for the schedule. We can't beat our brains against the best every week, and the perfect teams are those who are weaker, (on a given year) but bring a healthy sized number of eyeballs to the TV games. Rutgers, Maryland, Illinois, Iowa....

I never thought I'd see this, that not only are Trojans furious with Oregon's recruiting and success, we are truly in their heads. When a Hall-of-Famer cites Oregon to raise money...wow. I never thought USC had a funding problem...are their alums poor?

Good gosh the intrigue that occurs in the NFL on Draft day and leading up to it! Below is a very interesting video, especially the first five minutes--wowsa. What I Did Not Know... --Denver baited my Minnesota Vikings into trading up, to make sure that Bo fell to them at No. 12. --Alex Forsyth, former center at Oregon, prepped the Broncos about Bo Nix, which gave them a much better heads-up going in. --Sean Payton has never drafted a QB in the first two rounds...until now. More in the video...

We were already getting equal shares with the Rutgers and Northwesterns of the B1G, just as we gave the Pig-2 an equal share for a hundred years when they clearly did not deserve it. We have to do it within our conference, but no reason to be equal with anyone other than the SEC.

Great stuff there, THANKS!

I am quite sure that this will happen often in future years with B1G fans, as it won't be for 4-5 years until we have the additional seating built. If B1G fans can help sell-out Autzen at regular pricing? Feels good to me...

Imagine if we'd stayed to "help" Oregon State? Oregon would be on outside looking in with half the funding going forward. The Ducks probably would have lost Lanning to Alabama, and we'd be... ...headed to the bottom.

Fun stuff Ryan, and boy are you right about what Lanning has done for developing the players to where they could be drafted. At this time last year, we worried about whether we could replace Alex Forsyth at center....and then we get Oregon's first "Top-Center" award ever. Great recruiting fodder, to point to our draft as Oregon players are respected by NFL teams.

Tremendous performances for Our Beloved Ducks to come from a 5-0 deficit to beat the Rat-Bastards at PK Park 9-5. More will come later at the end of the thread, but the pro-OSU announcers made me want to hurl a number of times. You would hear a smug air of superiority when they had the lead after the first inning, but after that...it was excuses for OSU, and numerous "shine-overs" of what Oregon would do. (Backhanded compliments) As an newly christened GROUP-OF-FIVE program, you KNOW they are thinking... So the final year ends with the team Civil War Series at two games a piece.

To be more precise... 11.7 scholarships Under NCAA rules, a Division 1 baseball team's 11.7 scholarships can be divided between a maximum of 27 players on a 39-player roster, with all players on athletic scholarship having to receive a minimum of a 25 percent scholarship. That leaves room for eight walk-ons.

The Pig-2 have realized that prior games and clips have value, thus they intend to share Pac-12 footage for fees. It is a new revenue source they just discovered, and one created by all the rest of us, the actual P-5 schools.

Some pretty amazing numbers in the top-10, and we can be proud!

After two-three years....possible. But after only a season? Two of them a decade ago? Lanning has built such depth already? Incredible...

My brain is so wired about Our Beloved Ducks these days, that I am really pondering some off-the-wall stuff. What if we had a B1G away game, and they wanted to start put us in the noon or 12:30 PM EST slot. It would be on TV, and because of the attractive time and because it is Oregon...it might be an option someday. I recall in 2014, when we played Wyoming at home, and the start time was actually 10:00 AM, and people tailgated with Breakfast Burritos and Cinnamon Rolls. But again, my question is an away game on TV that starts at 9:00 AM or 9:30 AM PST....are you in?

In Canzano's mailbag today--this was disclosed about the crappy network we have been a part of. Even reruns will end June 30th... On one hand, I am wistful thinking of all the games on it in the past, yet thinking about being on FIVE TV stations and streaming with the B1G? Sorry Beavis, you are LEFT BEHIND...

As if I don't have enough tech issues, my conversion software is now acting up...and I cannot pass along a digital copy until next week. But I can give you links to YouTube Highlights and the full game. (I would click on "Watch on YouTube" as the view will be much better.)
