What a bunch of nonsense. Losing Colorado and Arizona would not be the end of the conference, as SMU is better at football than Colorado, and SDST is better at football AND basketball than Arizona.

Oh, the agendas that our visitors from other conferences have....

You are making assumptions without knowing any of the background information. How do we know whether or not the media deal fell apart in the last few days? What if the league was not working with Oregon on key points, or could not follow through with what was agreed upon? What if GK lied to Oregon? Regardless...we will go on here...

Amen to our Pac-12 Brothers...

I don't like the sound of this... Report: Oregon to hold Thursday meeting amid reports of Colorado leaving Pac-12 WWW.ON3.COM .

As written a hundred times here....most would prefer to stay in the Pac-12, but are resigned to how the move may happen sooner or later. If it happens--we will embrace the good elements of it, and cheer for Oregon through it all. Need a 101st?

I hate this, but have to post it. It is "suggestions" and "ifs," and again--let's see the new Pac-12 Media contract first! Oregon to the Big-12 is a step down, in my opinion, and the Pac-12 has more preseason ranked top 25 teams than the B1G. Which conference is tougher? How Colorado, Big 12 aggression could force Tony Petitti's hand with B1G expansion - On3 WWW.ON3.COM Roughly a half hour before word leaked Wednesday of Colorado ramping up discussions for a return to the Big 12, Tony Petitti settled in for his final interview of the day.

...and you will be banned immediately. I just caught an offending post that was up only three minutes, and our moderators have a fast-finger to hide your post. This applies to EVERYONE. Big-12 fans, ACC fans, B1G fans and Oregon fans....anything posted here that tweaks or needles the members of our GREEN REFUGE will get...

You know....I could trade Colorado and Arizona for SMU and SDST in a heartbeat. SMU>Colorado in football. SDST>Arizona in Basketball.

I do have to say that Fox Sports had great camera angles and slow motion to help us see it that much easier. I will have another analysis out in a few weeks about a perfect example of Dan Lanning's "Simulated Pressures" that I enjoyed.

From the 2023 Pre-Season rankings below...here is the breakdown of the number of teams in the top-25 by conference... SEC: 6 Pac-12: 6 B1G: 4 Big-12: 4 ACC: 3 So the Pac-12 is really going to disappear? So where is all this disrespect coming from? How is it warranted? The biggest question....is it really going to change in future years with the coaching in the Pac-12? I think the B1G, the Big-12 and the ACC should STFU in light of the facts, not what the blowhard sportswriters say. College football rankings 2023: Georgia, Michigan top Sporting News' post-spring top 25 WWW.SPORTINGNEWS.COM Spring football and the transfer portal shook up SN's Way-Too-Early Top 25.

This guy has wisdom.... I love this coach!

Can someone 'splain this to me? (RBU is "Running Back University")

I was pondering out-loud with Kamikaze Kid today about how strong the conference is this year....where Oregon is a Pre-Season No. 4, and Oregon State is No. 5? Whew! Whoever ends up as No. 5 in the conference is going to be a pretty darn good team, yet will be 8-4 to show for it? Wowsa. It got me to thinking about 2024, and how if you take off USC...the top five becomes a tough top four...but don't you think Arizona State might just fill in at No. 5? Perhaps Stanford or Colorado later? Those bastards coaching those top Pac-12 teams aren't going away, and they are good coaches. This conference is going to be tough in 2024+ without the LA schools, and whether we have SMU or SDST or not, IMHO.

Sure...maybe in 2036... Be careful for what you ask for!

Fun video below--see the highlights to pump-up music beginning at the 50 second mark...are you ready for football baby?

I am sure Mario will figure it out...

Not.

Absolutely. Technically....Oregon is punching above its weight class in how we are recruiting with a 10 win season. Utah, Washington and Oregon State are not doing as well, and even USC trails Oregon in recruiting nationally. We will end up with a top-10 ten class, with a real shot at a top-5 before it is over...IMHO. (No. 6 at Rivals now)

This is all very interesting--some great facts presented, and I thank you. But we do not know what GK and the Pac-12 Presidents have in mind as the longer play, the overall strategy. As it is--the whole stay-at-ten-teams, and two-schools-object-to-expansion are news that we only just recently learned. And it is becoming apparent that Oregon has their own plan...which may not want a larger conference, or may be totally focused on only what is best for the Ducks? So that conferences get into a bidding war for our membership in five years? Or...
