The story is that Rushing is getting one million per year for his services from Arizona. The Ducks appear set at DE for the next year or two anyway. Not a big deal. I'd be much more concerned if Baker goes any place else......doubt he will. I'd also be more interested in a nose tackle type that eats centers for dinner.

I believe that when all is said and done if 12 teams make the playoffs......the SEC and Big 10 get three slots each. The other conferences one slot each. With some special deal for Notre Dame. Maybe not in writing...but unofficially. Is the committee going to take a second place team in the pac 12 like, Utah, Arizona, Wa St or Washington over Auburn, Alabama, Penn St, Michigan, USC, UCLA, Michigan, Texas, Oklahoma. So, staying in the PAC 12 is about the same as going to the Big 10 for opportunity to make the playoffs.

General Westmoreland.......We are on a better trajectory than the North Vietnamese.

Rough estimate of 10 billion......two 2 for 1 splits since 2009 and the price is roughly double. Of course that is if they retained the stock in the trust. They could have sold for diversification.

Good pick up......USC, like some coaches decides a player is not for them and they just disappear.This guy has talent.

Games are going to fly by now that the clock only stops with two minutes left in half after a first down. I wonder what that does to play calls?

USC and UCLA should have never joined the Big Ten without bringing Oregon, Washington, Arizona and Stanford along. Its going to be a mess.

You're not the only moron. I'am right with you. The pac 12 is dead. Oregon is one of its best teams and....... 3 points. Merge before its too late.

Oregon 35-34 3 TO 1 sack 300 passing

and Oregon is playing the best team in the SEC.....sort of. So when the Duckies win....don't be blowing smoke about bama.

As a USC/Oregon fan......don't fall for it......this is not 2006. Oregon is definitely the superior team. USC is going to have a hard time beating Stanford, UCLA, Oregon St and Utah much less Oregon They are not being rationale.

Most national media copy each others work and seldom come out with a pick that is out of step. Lanning came to Eugene in part because he reviewed the roster and a gleam came to his eye.

This says it all.

Given good coaching the Ducks should be a team that will surprise some folks back east. DL check LB check DB check QB check......maybe OL check RB check WR check TE check

Lanning was a great hire.

Cash.....pure cash.....and now its all legal. The old days are history.

The difference between Nix and Brown......several things....... but Nix can throw it long accurately.......which should make a world of difference. Changing schemes three times and having a lousy line in front of you, particularly for a player that prefers to throw over run........I suspect we are going to see a player that reflects his rating from HS.

LOL......Mario better win this year or his schtick is going to get easy to see thru.

As a fan of Oregon I was never impressed by Cristobal coaching the team but.........his recruiting was world class

Don't laugh.......12-0. Of course Georgia looks tough.....but.....spend some time matching up the rosters. Its all about Nix and whether new coaching has stepped him up. If so, good things....if not......Oregon will lose this game. Other than the Georgia game.......Oregon has better talent than any other team they play and the tougher games are at home.

noDucknew.........yep.......only addition.......if the valuable properties in the pac 12 started to create a deal with the big 12 it would force him off his butt and probably cement a better deal for Oregon with the big10.

nope

I suspect that the pac 12 refs will be very fair to UCLA and USC this year. LOL. For them......first downs .......10.5 yards........spots......sorta close........all hits look ok to me.......bring on the third USC QB. Now, they would not do this........right........but if the game is close........pass interference don't exist. The playoffs........lots of luck with that. No way USC beats Utah or Oregon at a neutral or worst site.......the refs will be there. Complaints to the conference office.......placed in the round file under the desk.

Unless Oregon, Cal, Stanford, WA, Arizona and AZ St or a minimum of 2 of them follow USC into the big 10.........USC is going to rue the day they decided to be smart pants. The travel distance, weather, competition, refs, locations etc etc are going to wear on them. Especially if they keep ND on their schedule. Imagine the fan support two years from now in November playing in Champaign, Bloomington, Minn, Lincoln, Iowa City Happy Valley etc etc. Something needed to be done......but they made the wrong choice. IMO Oregon needs to force the pac 10 to talk to the Big 12 hat in hand.....and have on the table that Wa ST and Or St go mountain west.
