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...

Steven Jones is poised for a very big year too.

He is at 228 pounds, up from 212 and will be more stout on run-support. Jamal Hill is also almost 230 pounds, so the MONEY linebacker looks good. Bassa and Irving were doing 300 pushups a day!

Including the state of Washington?

He is the owner of the biggest Oregon fan site, ScoopDuck.com and has followed, lived and reported on college football for 20 years. Look at YOU! You get just a small ACC swipe, and get indignant. Imagine if it went on FOR A YEAR, (as it has for Pac-12 fans) and you had to tolerate it, and the Trollers are later proven wrong?

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...
