Makes no sense, and these deplorable people have to get their licks in quickly before a Pac-12 Media deal is announced that is superior to what they have.

As those Pac-12 games fill up...the spillover might sell out Portland State and Hawaii too?

First the sound of CHUNK, and then the reaction of the sportscasters which makes it more fun in retrospect.

Only the Beavers would do what they did in 1991....they won ONE game, (went 1-10) over an injured Oregon and they create and distribute a video called... "We Own the State!"

This never gets old. Over the years--between the fight song, SHOUT, crowd noise, etc., there are so many great Oregon sound effects, but this one just feels like one of the best sounds ever. Remember the CHUNK! BTW....I personally made the video above and put it on my fishduckcontent YouTube channel. I was working on the analysis article out Monday about Bassa's superb blitzing technique in the Holiday Bowl, saw this again and HAD to make the video as my own memento.

To all of us, adding the expansion schools and then negotiating the media contract made sense, as then we would know the game inventory the PAC-12 was offering. Now we see why the order was reversed; not all current schools were on-board, so GK had to get the contract done first, due to a deadline. Technically, there is no rush to expand immediately, although I see the benefits of having the game inventory for 2024. We fans were oblivious to this. I believe we fans are also being surprised that representatives of Oregon might just be fighting for our best interests better than any of us suspected. Perhaps Mullens has been active behind the scenes, and determined what is best for OREGON and is vigorously pursuing it? We clearly do not know his long-term goals in this…

😳

"Kirby Smart ponders how everyone has to contend with the biggest gorilla for quite some time." Take your shot!

While I have been referred to as "the Big Fish," I don't think that is the context. (Right!) Is he referring to just fishing, (and catching a great tuna) or did he land a silent verbal from a big recruit?

So many great parts of the that video, but the girl screaming in the background sure adds to the fun!

Yep. In both games we saw Lanning pass on kicking two field goals in each game, and those would have been winning points for both games. (Even with the injury to Bo) Good thing he is...

There sure is a ton of hopeful feelings in there. Surpass Oregon with one more win? Ignore what Dan Lanning is doing! Washington is building the MOTHER of all Football Programs!

And why does Oregon even HAVE the sport? Title IX.

Only if you looking for the negatively. Perhaps you mean “an,” as that would be grammatically correct. Mullens stated up front. He is not covering the media deal in this press conference, which means we will get the financials at a later date. Take a clue. I am getting annoyed with people going out of their way to roll-in-the-mud of negativity when there is no justification for doing so. Wait for the media deal, and then comment.

You bet; I know that it is 100% right about half the time!

C'mon. You have to admit it is funny!

Is this the first we have heard from him in the past year? A nice confirmation...

Nah. A different opinion is always fine, it is just how it is delivered. Your delivery was great, and thanks for posting.

The part about NIL gives me encouragement about things going forward, and the heightened priority to STOP football players from being employees. George sees how it would destroy the majority of sports at ALL universities...

I know it has been placed in other threads, but there is some important priority information given in today's statement, and some BIG news concerning NIL in Congress that I was not aware of. Well worth the read....

It always amazes me how Oregon seems to have a target on its back for many out there. Again...when millions more Pac-12 and Oregon fans get access to all conference sports via streaming--even the distorted numbers of this analysis written will change. The Ducks will be just fine.

Steven Jones was killing-it pulling and blasting people on the offensive line before he got hurt last year. He returns as a senior, and his replacement during the season, Marcus Harper was blasting people in the Holiday Bowl. We have four veterans returning on the OL, and we have three superb portal transfers. The concern about the OL is out of ignorance, IMHO. Speaking of defensive analysis plays....we have a dandy coming up on Monday. FANTASTIC Blitz technique by Bassa in our bowl game! Here is a Bassa sack versus Arizona....

Bottom line? We believe Oregon will score BOATLOADS of points, as we will have four savvy, experienced players starting on the offensive line along with the No. 1 rated OT in the portal that came to the Ducks. I could gush on about the WR room, the TEs and the deep RB room. Oh yeah. We do have a pretty experienced QB returning who could be in the Heisman race if things go as hoped. The real story is on defense; Oregon returns a ton of experienced players who are more familiar with the Lanning 4-2-5 MINT defense, but the real impact will be felt from the portal transfers. Lanning went out and plugged the holes and more; we saw the tightest coverage in the Spring Game than we've seen in years, as the QBs had very small windows to throw to. Without breaking them all down here....we got an elite pass rusher to complement some seniors, another pass rusher who showed us in the Spring Game why he is a 5-Star, and a perfect fit at the MAC linebacker who transferred in from Iowa. Because of superb portal recruiting at defensive back--it allowed a bulky safety (Jamal Hill) to move to MONEY linebacker, as between his stout run support and his coverage skills--I believe that he and Jeffrey Bassa have that spot covered well. We needed a stud DB, a freak at STAR, and got one from Mississippi. We got other portal transfers at Safety and Corner (2) and thus between them and the very experienced players returning--we are now beyond loaded in the secondary. You don't get a Bo Nix and all the seniors in a year as we do in 2023, thus why I think Oregon will have a very good year.

Another source is below, which is a strategy that Lanning brought from Georgia. Has the Portal Solved Oregon's FREAK Problems? FISHDUCK.COM Oregon does have a freak problem with their football team. It is not a bizarre problem, but one that is unusual because of what Dan Lanning is trying to achieve…
