The same weak people who presided over the gradual Pac-12 demise... But Oregon is OK...

DuckFan93! Good gosh, the prediction of 27-21 was only three total points off from the actual 27-24 score? Wowsa. We usually cannot do that good throughout the Duck football season! Thanks to all for being a part of it, and again--congrats to DuckFan93! You WON? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello My OBD FishDuck Forum Friends! What is your prediction of Penn State vs. Notre Dame? Take your shot and let's have fun with it... Let's get these predictions started, and remember I look for the differential between your predicted points with both teams from the actual points. I will use the tiebreaker information when needed, so provide all the data below! Entries without ALL the information are invalid, and predictions on other threads don't count. And please check the other posts in this thread to prevent putting up the a score that has already been predicted. We had one week where four entries were the same score! Please follow directions, as I need all that is below for tiebreakers: --the winner --the score --the amount of turnovers Penn State creates --the number of sacks Penn State records on the Irish --the number of passing yards by the Nittany Lions. My prediction is: Penn State 34-23 2 2 264 Go B1G!

John Canzano had an article today detailing the massive heist/haul the new Pac-12 is receiving from the departing ten Pac-12 members. Many of you have asked about this number from time-to-time and where the money came from. The topic also came up with the recent Rose Bowl... 100 Million from the Rose Bowl for this year and next at 50 Million per year. (We played in it, yet received nothing!) 90 Million in NCAA Basketball payouts and other unspecified revenue units. 65 Million total paid by all ten former Pac-12 schools over the next two years. 255 Million total arrived at by the settlement reached in December of 2023. This does not include the revenue they will receive from fees paid by those who wish to use former Pac-12 TV footage, pictures, etc. Don't forget the Pac-12 Network that was taken as well, and has been moved, and is now generating revenue for current Pac-12 members. Whew! My Duck-Buddies....what we have to remember is that in terms of media revenue--we are getting twice the total revenues with the B1G compared to if we had taken the Apple/Pac-12 offer. We would be streaming, and NOBODY would be watching us between the streaming cost and the time zone issues. Oregon is also receiving a hefty payout as being a part of the B1G in the CFB Playoff. We will be fine, and the Scrap-12 has a sweet 255 million golden parachute into their new CW world. We'll see how well these pigs can swim on their own...

Isn’t there a way Beavis can steal him?

So posted about this earlier today...is my timing GREAT or what? Good for him, and so grateful for his time at Oregon...

Damn. Is my timing great or what?

This reduces the need for a portal LB, because between Boettcher and Devon Jackson--we are set at ILB with experienced players. Rotate the freshmen in, and get them ready for 2026! Devon Jackson No. 26

I am trying to NOT get ahead of my skis on this, but if he returned--it would be a massive lift to the offense. In one mock draft, he is selected No. 18 overall and thus he SHOULD go to the NFL. But other mock drafts have him in the second round or worse. Offensive tackles have a long shelf life in the NFL, and adding some weight and refining his technique could put him in the top-10 draft picks next year. He has to decide in the next week... He has been so superb for OBD that I truly want what is best for him. If he STAYS.... It would be CRAZY for the Ducks.

He has been a starter at USC, and played offensive guard. He is 6'6 and 297 pounds, and apparently--Oregon is a leader for him at the moment. He might be visiting SEC teams, so I thought I'd alert you to this possibility. If he came--we would finish the OL and be in good shape for next year. (We might be anyway...) Oregon's players transferring out are not proven starters, thus another reason to appreciate our coaching staff.

No surprise about Harmon, as he is listed as one of the top DTs for the NFL Draft. But James? He might have made more with NIL than as a backup journeyman type of contract, IMHO. But then....I did not think Bo Nix would do so well this year. So what do I know?

Annie, I should have made certain to state that taking away a husband‘s hobbies is not something that ALL women do. But in the Manosphere, where many divorced men write about their experiences, it is a very common phenomenon. And it was more than sports, because if the wife did not like the man’s dog or cat,… They would sometimes disappear, or the fellow would have to take it to a shelter. Again, not ALL women, but many do not approve of time spent on hobbies such as a forum like this. It is not a surprise that your husband was very lucky with you, as we have seen what a nice and reasonable person you are in this Message Board. Moving on!

He spoke of "unfinished business" before the Husky game too...

You can read the article on 247 for free right here, as I am having issues with the damn forum software again. He says he has unfinished business....

Online...quite a few men have reported this, and had to give up their hobbies or sharply curtail them to keep the wife happy. And it matches with my own experience! But anyone can disagree, no sweat.

Wives often don't like men to have hobbies, and will discourage them from taking part or at the minimum--frown on the "wasted time." If my "ex" had her way, FishDuck.com would have been shut down years ago, and the Our Beloved Ducks forum would have never been begun. Did I listen to her?

Truly insane...
