I believe the legislation requires Oregon to take little brother with us to another conference, should we leave the Pac-12 and this bill is passed. Little Brothers are such a pain...

I do not trust the source; this is the guy who said that he heard ahead of time that the B1G was going to invite USC and OREGON. Really? And Robbins said nothing to anyone? We were all blindsided by the departure except this mouth? Some who come up short just want your attention...

Like Dillingham and Lanning on 4th down...."we need an adult in the room."

Great point. We have had no leaks about the process, what everyone knows, etc....until now. Robbins is an unprofessional loose cannon, and someone needs to tell him to...

No sweat-you had good intentions, and we are getting discussion!

You have to consider the writer; he has been exposed on this forum as one who does NOT use sourced reporting, and deals in rumor. He is a tool looking to hurt the PAC-12 at every opportunity.

You are new here, so you would not know of the TONS of articles posted about that topic, and subsequent posts written about it over the last year. As new articles and news comes available, we welcome threads to discuss them.

Well, please keep posting your thoughts here, as we enjoy your writing in the forum!

Oregon State fans do not like the thought of being “Oregon’s Little-Brother,” yet that is what this bill is. ”If you want to go anywhere, you have to take your little brother.”

Cristobal's offense hurt us there; the boneheaded play-calling in the second half of the Auburn game was frustrating. With ASU....there are days when the opposing team is on fire scoring points, and you need to be able to respond. Oregon could not.

We have enough problems with the "me" players, but to "go through several layers?"

Yep, truck stops and..... Photos: 2021 Solon Beef Days Hay Bale Toss WWW.THEGAZETTE.COM Iowa football players were once again among the competition at the Solon Beef Days Hay Bale Toss

Cool-you threw me a curve with the y’all, and we welcome everyone. Gotta love the web to bring us all together!

A nice first post here, and welcome! I would prefer playing Alabama in the Playoff, and for that matter-I want to save playing Playoff teams for the playoffs. We have fans from tons of schools posting here, and they add richness to our forum. Where are you from? What is your school?

If we can make it happen--super, as I'd love to stay in the Pac-12. But I will go along with whatever Oregon decides is best for them, and will continue to be a very intense fan.

Great post 2002duck, and on the other sites--they think this might tip things to Dante coming back. Most on other sites do not think Dante is ready for the NBA, contrary to my thoughts on the 12th and now. I would be wary of quoting me when it comes to basketball; with my football thoughts, those are usually reasoned--backed by hundreds of hours of study. Even then, I am wrong half the time! But my Basketball thoughts are just WAGs. Like Oregon Baseball, I enjoy watching the sport, but do not know much in-depth about it.

Wow--great point Jon, and I did not think of that negotiating tactic. I am sure that whatever the Pac-12 comes up with--the B1G is lying in weeds saying, "we can beat that, and yet it will be cheaper than a full new member." Nah, I'm sure it will go well.

With what I've watched thus far, I do not think the Ducks can overtake Stanford (No. 9 in the nation) or the Bruins (No.7 in the nation) but I do believe we can pass Oregon State and Arizona in the final conference standings in a month. (Oregon is unranked at the moment, and none of the current B1G teams are either) Oregon's RPI is No. 16 in the nation, (Which would just make the cut to host an NCAA Regional) and the Strength of Schedule is an impressive No. 4 in the nation. We find out soon about our chances, as we have a series at Tucson this weekend. The Oregon hitting has come alive as the Ducks have scored 59 runs in the last five games. Whew!

Interesting point. Maybe Dana laid down the gauntlet of what is expected, and Ware opted out of the work required?

A forum member on another site, (who has had some correct inside information before regarding the hiring of Lanning and Stein) states that his source tells him that an offer will be made to Oregon and Washington "before May." Not a lock, but decent credibility. The B1G could guarantee money to OR/WA well below what they are paying to Rutgers and Northwestern for 5-6 years, and that would probably be well above what the new Pac-12 contract would be. If they offered 40 million--would you take it? What is your cutoff point? Mine is 40 million, not 38 or 39 but then I am not one to decide! Yet it would be easier to make the new 12 team CFB Playoff in the Pac-12... And the morality of it all--destroying the Pac-12 for our own survival? (Some would say greed) Another Bad Decision?

Speechless. Former top-10 prospect Kel'el Ware to enter transfer portal, leave Oregon 247SPORTS.COM Oregon freshman Kel'el Ware, the No. 7 overall prospect out of the 2022 class, will enter the transfer portal and has no intention of entering the 2023 NBA Draft, he tells Worst-thing-possible. Unbelievable. So Duck fans...how does this feel to you?

He had a great paragraph at the end.... "The highly seeded teams (of March Madness) lost and were eliminated. That’s how a single-elimination tournament works. This has been an amazing event. If you prefer a college postseason with a limited field that is stacked in favor of the high seeds… one that goes out of its way to ensure that the most successful, highest-ranked regular-season teams make it to the championship… you still have college football and its four-team invitational tournament." Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Yet so true... March Madness shows us how excitement is created, and while I am delighted with a 12 team CFB Playoff, I am open to 16. (and no more)

Thanks Coach, as that is a great play to allow the RB to find the hole in short-yardage. We appreciate your work! Jordan James punching through at the goal line...

Except for football? Hmmm. I will let those of that faith answer that one, as I have no idea why?

The last line of Canzano's article is great....
