Wowsa. Yesterday's loss by Stanford to Hawaii? You lose to the lower end of the Mountain West....? Cal's NIL money has dried up, thus their best players transferred out, and we all know the pathetic state of Beavis and those who Coug-it. Only Arizona State has prospered from the split, and the predictions are they will challenge the Big-12 again. But damn...Oregon State, Washington State, 'Furd, and Cal? We left just in time...

The B1G did not want the other teams. I thought that with such superb academic schools as Cal and Stanford are--they would fit right in. But the revenue they create would take-from, and not add to each B1G members' share of the media contract. Even when they suck...the fan bases of Washington, UCLA and USC bring additional revenue to the Big-10, thus why the invitation. The reduced share to Oregon and Washington is a probationary period to "prove" we provide additional revenue. I think Oregon Has....

Great perspective, and again--that is why I call you, "The Schedule Maven." Someone brought up how many of the schools that travel to Oregon have a bye the week before, thus can come sooner and get acclimated. Does Oregon have that traveling advantage too?

We travel to Penn State and Rutgers…why don’t we add Maryland and have ALL the farthest teams on the schedule?

I don't what is crazier...the distances that West Coast teams have to travel, or how little other B1G teams travel? Most of the B1G will travel only half or a third of what the Ducks will!

Lose leverage? We got more of...

The B1G Welcome Party...

Speaking of "OUCH!"

Does this explain so many Trojan Tears? Yeah...everyone's looking at YOU!

I like it, and while it was "Chip's Thing," it is also part of our history, our heritage. It was a very successful time, and that slogan was the best, so yes...bring it back and embrace it!

A very good coach, who can do more with less. Keep him away from the LA schools!

So standing strong worked?

Whoa! We know that newbie Dierre Hill is fast, but he is up to 205 pounds. Isn't that thunder, instead of lightning? Then I saw the stats on freshman Jordan Davison, as he is 6'0" and 236 pounds? (Shades of Blount!) Lanning: "I'm starting to call them thunder and lightning. Man, like Jordan Davison and Dierre Hill are going to be special players here for a long time," he said. "I'm really excited about them and their development, and that whole RB room." Remember, as much fuss I've been making about Dierre Hill, we cannot overlook Jordan Davison as he was a Rivals 5-Star running back from Mater Dei. In the past...getting a 5-Star running back would have been ALL we would have been talking about in reference to recruiting. This year--he was almost an after-thought. And he was the Max-Preps POY for the state of California! Jordan Davison-Good gosh, what a Group! Whoa! Perhaps not Blount, but looks more like Jonathan Stewart?

What a happy thought! Thank you for that!

My apologies to all. This thread veered in a direction (my fault) that is away from the intent of this message board. I use this site to enjoy Oregon football, as an escape from some of the issues of real-life. Time to turn back to the intent of the forum--Oregon sports. I will lock this thread.

In the thread on another site--it was stated that they have been dating for three months.

FishDuck writer David Marsh pointed out that Oregon did get 10 portal transfers last year. So if we did the same again...replacing the 16 starters may not be so bad between transfers, and new players emerging. Theran Johnson, Corner Transfer from Northwestern

This is not about improvement or suggestions for personal growth from a woman; my point was....some women are not happy inside, and no matter what you do--it will not ever be enough to make her happy. I thought I was alone in this at one time, and since have seen hundreds of accounts written about a similar experience. Since you have not experienced a woman who could not be pleased, (as millions of men have had to deal with) then I'm glad that you have not had that, and had a fulfilling experience instead. I once believed as you did... No need to debate this, as we can have different opinions based upon our experiences.

No sweat. It is still fun, and a good example of how easy it is to do this... I noticed that the QB who was a superb passer, who signed with Oregon, but left to go to Cal has been named the starter. He'll be a good portal candidate in the future...

This player is going to be a BLOCKBUSTER transfer for Oregon!

Ooou...an interesting story behind this lefty! What? From a smaller school, Taft set the OSAA single season record with a 0.09 ERA and was 3A pitcher of the year:

He is a big 6'4" RHP, and a Perfect Game score of "9."
