  1. Former Oregon QB Bo Nix visits Seattle Seahawks on top-30 prospect visit WWW.YARDBARKER.COM Ahead of the NFL Draft later this month, former Oregon quarterback Bo Nix visited with the Seattle Seahawks who could give him an opportunity to stay in the Pacific Northwest at the...
  2. Nice to have men of character and not characters. If he stays healthy this young man will light it up. Holden saw up front and personal at Bama. Looking at the WRs and TEs, Dillion must be drooling. Stoops's son was a very good receiver at OK but the Sooners had nowhere near the talent of Oregon's WR room. Is it 8/31 yet?
  3. The Buckeyes schedule is ranked No. 57 in the country. If you search the Phil Steele/NCAA strength of schedule rankings, the Buckeyes are not found until page 2. Among the B1G title contenders, tOSU has the easiest schedule by far and away.
  4. Ranking of B1G Title Contenders + [Note - schedules are weighted. As an example, a team may have the same number of bowl opponents as another team but be lower ranked if the opponent was a G5 bowl team in 2023.] No. 2 USC - 9 opponents with 2023 winning records (W), 11 Bowl Teams (BT), and 5 preseason top 25 ranked (Ranked.) No. 5 OREGON - 9 W/ 9 BT/ 3 Ranked - Not considered is 8 consecutive games without an idle week. No. 7 Washington - 9 W/ 9 BT/ 4 Ranked * Ducks opponent in 2024 No. 8. UCLA - 8 W/ 9 BT/ 5 Ranked * 10. Michigan - 7 W/ 9 BT/ 4 Ranked * 12. Wisconsin - 8 W/ 9 BT/ 4 Ranked * 14. Iowa - 9 W/ 9 BT/ 2 Ranked 33. Penn State - 8 W/ 9 BT/ 2 Ranked 57. Ohio State - 5 W/ 6 BT/ 4 Ranked - Nothing like giving the biggest of the B1G a leg up, right?
  5. More Bucky love for Puddles. 12-0 in 2024 with a rematch vs Ohio State in the conference champ game. Big Ten Football: Way-too-early 2024 record predictions for every team BADGERSWIRE.USATODAY.COM Way-too-early record predictions for every Big Ten football team in 2024 … things look a lot different:
  6. Bucky Badger's Wire likes the Ducks. Has OREGON ranked No. 1 ahead of 2nd ranked Ohio State for B1G future success. Big Ten Power Rankings: Ranking all 18 football programs entering 2024 BADGERSWIRE.USATODAY.COM Agree with Wisconsin’s ranking?
  7. Stewart is most definitely in the 2024 Duck Stew of quality WRs. His numbers at A+M did not add up to his recruiting hype but he was hurt in both his sophomore season and the Aggies starting QB was dinged in both seasons. Plus, Dumbo, er Jimbo, was the HC. With his new surrounding talent and with Steiny coaching and Gabriel Dillon at QB, this young man could flourish. Thanks for the article, Alex. Even without a mention of Evan, the receiving corps in 2024 gives us lots of talent to ponder.
  8. Andy Staples - Blame Cal's move on George Kliavkoff? Jon Wilner - Blame his move on Larry Scott? (Texas' Deloss Dodds should also be cited.) George Kliavkoff’s Pac-12 failure a reason for John Calipari going to Arkansas UCLAWIRE.USATODAY.COM Andy Staples mentions that the Pac-12 dissolving is a reason for John Calipari going to Arkansas. Who would’ve thought?
  9. Oregon is on the list of West Coast teams off to good starts with the 2026 recruiting class. But Lake Oswego's Ansu Sanoe off to UW? Say it ain't so! West Spotlight: Five programs off to fast start in 2026 recruiting class SPORTS.YAHOO.COM Colorado's Deion Sanders is beginning to change his recruiting philosophy a bit by recruiting more high school players.
  10. Thoughts from Dixie Land. It had to happen. Now, finally, John Calipari, Kentucky can move on … WWW.SATURDAYDOWNSOUTH.COM Who says all breakups are bad breakups? John Calipari and Kentucky each get a fresh start.
  11. I think Riley knows that the Beach Mansion is at risk. The USC collective finally has put a plan in place backed by B1G bucks. Traveler is not trotting to Autzen in 2024 but will be coming to town in 2025. Big Ten recruiting thoughts: USC getting defensive, Ohio State keeps rolling, Minnesota has its QB THEATHLETIC.COM Maryland bolsters class with second four-star prospect. Wisconsin loses two commits. UCLA is (finally) active on the trail.
  12. 9 Kentucky basketball coaching candidates, ranked by likelihood after John Calipari’s exit WWW.SBNATION.COM Ranking potential Kentucky head coach candidates by likelihood of actually ending up in Lexington after John Calipari’s shocking exit for Arkansas.
  13. What have YOU done for me lately? Reporter indicates what pushed John Calipari to leave Kentucky LARRYBROWNSPORTS.COM The John Calipari era is coming to an end in Kentucky. The veteran coach was far from oblivious about his waning support from Big Blue Nation. Reports
  14. It's not a very good team, the Cardinals, but when you are competing against an NFL team for entertainment dollars you need to be more than a CFB bottom feeder. I hope Dilly will turn things around. The Herm Experience was a disaster. And at the top? ASU backed out of a bowl game last season without letting Dilly know before the announcement. I wouldn't want to share a nest with Crow.
  15. John Calipari leaving Kentucky for another SEC school LARRYBROWNSPORTS.COM Longtime Kentucky head coach John Calipari is switching schools within the SEC. Calipari is expected to sign a five-year contract to become the coach at
  16. He certainly doesn't leave Lexington for Fayetteville with the same glow he had a few years back. Teams playing for CBB titles this season had experienced players whether from recruiting HS or recruiting the Portal and most often a bit of both. Cal for the most part stayed with one and done frosh wonders. Kentucky has not gotten past the 2nd round of the tournament since 2019. Calipari has a $33M buyout. I wonder how this is being finessed. A huge hire for Arkansas but is Cal past his prime. Who's next for Big Blue? Pitino to Kentucky after once doing great things at Louisville or a younger up-and-coming coach like Bama's Nate Oates? Bruce Pearl at Auburn might also be a candidate. And would Danny Hurley consider leaving UConn?
  17. Spot on take on how the women's CBB tourney, hats off to the "good" USC, lifted all women's sports. Winners, losers from women's tournament: Dawn Staley, South Carolina achieve perfection WWW.YARDBARKER.COM With South Carolina's 87-75 win over Iowa on Sunday afternoon, the Gamecocks won their third national championship under head coach Dawn Staley and completed a perfect 38-0 season.
  18. Ganja is legal in Ohio? The UCLA Bruin looks like he wants everyone to drop in for a spot of tea. When Maryland visits Autzen on 11/9, there should be a halftime uni showdown. Thanks, NJ. It's a looooong off season.
  19. Mike, I resemble your remark. At least I think I do. What was the second thing?
  20. Or friend Annie will give us the answer. 😍👍
  21. Make sure the guys run downhill. Kidding! Heck of a question? An OBD kinesiologist will perhaps give us an answer.
  22. Who knew that Sun Devils could be more reasonable and respectful than Beavers? As reported by Ducks Wire and elsewhere, Coach Samples's Dad is the coach at Texas powerhouse HS Duncanville. He is wired into Texas. Which is nice.

  24. Caitlin Clark’s magical Iowa career ends in title game loss to South Carolina SATURDAYTRADITION.COM Caitlin Clark and Iowa gave their best punch to South Carolina, but the undefeated Gamecocks were too much for the Hawkeyes.
