  1. Thanks Charles! With all the recruiting news this past week Fishduck was sorely missed! Back in the top 10 but now we need a nose guard with the latest de-committ. But in Lanning we trust, so let's keep it rollin!
  2. I don't see the B1G, SEC or ESPN giving the new 'Pac12' a vote to being a power conference with an auto bid. G6 yes, but part if the 'Power5', never. How many of these 'Pac12' will even get votes for top 25 besides BSU? To get consideration, they will need 10+ wins and wins over Power 4 opponents. I see this conference with a lot of G5 parity, which means they will beat each other up and no one have lots of wins each year. Which means no votes. Keeping the Pac 12 name allows for keeping the previous earned millions$$ which will help pay for Beavers stadium renewal. But it will mean little to nothing on the national scale. Let's face it, even the old Pac12 with us, USuC and Udub got little respect east of the Rockies. Canzano is their only cheerleader. That's not saying much.
  3. There have been many 3☆ who develop nicely to become great O-line players, particularly inside linemen. Welcome to our ohana Koloi Keli. Aloha
  4. Leave it to Beaver to be our '26 stud! Welcome aboard! Sco' Ducks!
  5. Perhaps this is why the NBA is less talented, too much $$ before developing real talent. The result is viewership has crashed. The NIL has lifted parity and better play as athletes stay longer. Will it continue if too much $$ goes to unproven freshmen? JJ, you are right. Something has to give soon or we will be in constant court cases indefinitely. The obvious conclusion seems to be admitting to students as employees and form a union as all the pro leagues. Not to be political, but has congress ever intervened to make anything better? Besides they move at a glacial pace. This is one of the few instances where individual states appreciate their ability to govern themselves and not rely on federal direction.
  6. Huge upside. But D1 db's are a totally different animal. Even more then a tough Texas conference. He did make a very impressive catch in the spring game! I see him as a deep threat not as often used like Tez was. 500 yds and 5 td's. Sadiq is gonna get a bunch of td's.
  7. Oh well. His loss.
  8. Oh dear, I hate to speak negatives into existence. I think our team will once again excel. Yes, lots of youth but all DL's guys. The O-line looks solid and should give our qb time and make holes for a powerful rb room. The D-line also lists out at better than last year. Some key additions to the db's should shore up as well. All that said, not making the playoffs would be hard. Losing to any of the following would wreck my year; Montana St, USC, Indiana or UW. Or having any serious injuries to starters. But I'll finish being positive, 11-1 with L being PSU. Losing in a white-out with Charles & Co in the house, horrible, just horrible.
  9. Boise St made noise cuz they were in the Mt West. I always thought that if WSU played the BSU schedule, they would make a bowl every year. And if BSU played WSU schedule, maybe make a bowl 1 out of 3 years. (In the old Pac12) Now the Pac (St)eight is the old Mt West, only with more parity. I see them all beating up on each other and none of them making a playoff, even at 16 teams! Canzano is desperate for Beavis to be relevant. He knows us Duck fans won't ever subscribe to his irrelevant b.s. What a goal, let's be the next Boise St!
  10. Good for him! Most likely get more playing time. Once he's developed, he can always transfer back (nil) to his real "home". Glad he stayed in-state. Easier for mom & dad to watch. He can be a leader in the Pac (St)eight.
  11. Hey, they play the powerful Pac (St)eight! That has to count for something...🤣
  12. I guess they'll call the conference the Pac (St)eight.
  13. He is from Vancouver BC and is friends with the Cowboy's coaches brother. So, friends of family?
  14. Between 8 and 12 million? I don't believe it. Sure, it will cover several states, but gaining a tv viewership?! Really? Barely D1 schools. Don't see any teams making a football playoff. How will they afford the $20.5M athelete payroll? Pac12 indeed! (8)?
