I am really surprised at the other Pac-12 pick, and surprised where they placed the Trojans. Oh yeah....the Huskies were not even in the top 50!

A solution for those parents....

What would you say to some of the parents? In particular the first and third?

No announcement yet for how much, but the original holder of the number, a kicker, had five kids (No. 5) and wanted a quarter-million for it. Whew!

I believe Oregon will finish in the Top-Ten in 2023 with this staff, and for the rest of the Pac-12? They will think they're doing fine until...

One of our kind moderators fixed it...

While that would never happen...I would be quite happy with a tiny fraction of the Oregon audience, the reasonable ones, to join us!

And we really appreciate not only Utah fans and the fans of other schools' input, but the attitude you exemplify in offering your thoughts. Now, when it comes to Miami fans... Here is their welcome!

I think this is a FANTASTIC topic to discuss in the long off-season, and if any of you would start a thread with a great topic like this? It would be most welcome! (My apologies to Utah and Georgia fans both reading this thread and prior ones about their teams. Remember that what you read is NOT representative of all Oregon fans, especially the good people that comprise this forum.)

This is not a joke to me, as finding a way to pay website expenses without pulling any more from family assets impacts whether the sites can remain up. I will pin this up on a regular basis as newbies wonder why those casino references are in nearly every one of my articles. And it takes a boatload of my time creating extra articles to fill backlink article orders. I spent most of my weekend writing articles for upcoming orders. All so I, and everyone else has FishDuck and the OBD forum to enjoy.

We have the hitting and relief pitching--just a couple of recruits away!

Softball swept the Beavers!

I'd be butt-hurt too....

I am not sure how I feel about this...what say you? USC would benefit from Pac-12 football title game reforms TROJANSWIRE.USATODAY.COM If the Pac-12 does change its conference championship game format, #USC and #Oregon would stand to gain the most from such a change.

Holy Crap!

My FishDuck Friends....I cannot make this stuff up. The Trojans are quite serious....about challenging the Huskies for the most delusional media and fanbase! USC football: Mark Sanchez champions Lincoln Riley; says Trojans are now 'on par' with SEC thanks to NIL 247SPORTS.COM ...

Great tour, and I learned a ton. Better times coming for Oregon Baseball, and it can seat over 4,000. I noted how Oregon State had a new record crowd last night at just over 4,000 to watch a close game. We can get there eventually!

Interesting, as I did not see that coming. Kind of almost inverted as to how it should be...

I love that...seven conference games that would be tough with USC, UCLA, Washington, etc. and add three cupcakes and one medium-tough team for a schedule. The SuperWest 24? (SW24)

This year it kinda feels like...

How about we add four teams and have two eight-team divisions, and one the "Surf" (as Jon coined) has the original Pac-8. Thus we have seven conference games is all and meet the winner of the other division in the Championship game! SEC...want to play only eight conference games? We'll play seven with a medium-tough team or two and then cupcakes. We'll make the Playoffs much sooner that way! SEC, how would you like them apples? (Unfortunately, I do not think there are four teams left to create the Mountain division)

That, Steven A., is “good-or-good.”

Holy Crap! Oregon only had two of the 13 come to Eugene? Geez... BTW...fantastic research, and thanks for taking the time to shed light on this AnotherOD.

Washington doesn't play who on their schedule? What was the amount of payoff on that one?

The Pac-12 Conference football media poll won’t be revealed until July 29 as part of the conference’s media day festivities in Los Angeles. Utah is the pick for conference champion, right? The Utes have top-to-bottom continuity on the coaching staff and a returning quarterback (Cameron Rising) who has big-game experience. I like the Utes to win the South Division, for sure. But there are some potential wildcards. The Utes lost a ton of leadership (see: Nick Ford, Devin Lloyd, Britain Covey). Also, the nine-game regular-season conference schedule wasn’t favorable to them. Utah skips playing two programs (Cal and Washington) that aren’t viewed as title contenders. USC is intriguing, but I think Lincoln Riley’s liftoff won’t be without growing pains. Still, the regular-season schedule helps Riley. The Trojans don’t play Oregon in the regular season. The Utes not only have to play the Ducks, but they’ll do it in Eugene in what will be billed as a payback game for Oregon. My current South Division top three: Utah, USC, UCLA. The North Division is much trickier. I think Oregon, Washington State and Oregon State could all make a run at the division crown. I won’t be surprised if there’s a two-way or three-way deadlock down the stretch. And while Washington is starting over with a new head coach, the UW regular-season schedule is unusually favorable. Oregon is the most talented team in the division, but the Ducks will have a first-year, first-time head coach in Dan Lanning. I like Lanning a lot. He’s down to earth, recruits well and the spring game was encouraging. Also, Oregon skips playing USC in the regular season. But will Lanning’s relative inexperience play a role at any point? We’ll soon see. Washington State is poised to matter next season, too. Transfer quarterback Cameron Ward was given a $90,000 deal by the Cougar Collective to come to Pullman. Offensive coordinator Eric Morris is bringing back the Air Raid offense. While Oregon skips USC next regular season, the Cougars have to play at USC. Also, WSU misses Colorado, which is amid a full-blown rebuild. That feels like a distinct disadvantage for Jake Dickert’s team. Oregon State’s case in the North Division is built on continuity. The Beavers were 6-0 at home last season. They return the coaching staff, the starting quarterback (Chance Nolan), and add a terrific freshman running back. The Beavers, however, play the three most talented teams in the conference — USC, Oregon and Utah — in the regular season. That will slow OSU down. My North Division top three: Oregon, Washington State, Oregon State. Washington could be disruptive, though. The Huskies have a new head coach, but skip playing both Utah and USC in the regular season. That’s an advantage I don’t take lightly. Nobody should be surprised if UW ends up a little higher in the standings because of it. Here are the opponents each Pac-12 program “skips” in the 2022 regular-season schedule: Arizona — skips Stanford and Oregon State ASU — Oregon and Cal Cal — Utah and ASU Colorado — WSU and Stanford Oregon — ASU and USC Oregon State — UCLA and Arizona Stanford — Arizona and Colorado UCLA — Oregon State and WSU USC — Oregon and Washington Utah — Cal and Washington Washington — USC and Utah WSU — UCLA and Colorado
