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!

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.

Awesome! Let's go Ducks!!

There have been many 3☆ who develop nicely to become great O-line players, particularly inside linemen. Welcome to our ohana Koloi Keli. Aloha

Leave it to Beaver to be our '26 stud! Welcome aboard! Sco' Ducks!

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.

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.

Oh well. His loss.

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.

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!

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.

Hey, they play the powerful Pac (St)eight! That has to count for something...🤣

I guess they'll call the conference the Pac (St)eight.

He is from Vancouver BC and is friends with the Cowboy's coaches brother. So, friends of family?

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)?

And a baseball title. Tired of little brother bragging. 🦫

Softball. For millions $$$. Who would think it?! Well, if you got it, spend it. It's obviously the same with football. In the end, do we really even care? We just want to win baby. Just win.

The quickest way to end women's sports, demand equal pay. I've never been a fan of all women's sports, I know that's not politically correct. But the premise is equal pay for equal work. The game may be the same, but the "work" (play) is not even close to the same. Just have the WNBA champ play the NBA worst team, and see the difference. Oy vey! 🤦‍♂️

I think the new House settlement might influence future portal picks with NIL deals needing to pass inspection. No more "buying" players. Supposedly. Either way, Oregon will end up in good shape. Our qb room now is stacked. Unproven sure, but hugely talented. I'm willing to wait it out. In Lanning & Co. we trust. Though for uncle Phil's sake, I hope we get that Natty soon!

So is there an article that explains all the House settlement decisions? I'm interested in scholarship limits primarily. Does this end walk-on players?

So, most swallows fly 24 - 30 mph, the barn swallow can hit speeds up to 46 mph. In college I worked on a grounds crew cutting grass etc. I would have barn swallows fly low and come right at me and pull up just before me. The first time that happened it was a little unnerving. After it was just fun. They fly like little fighter jets.

The "thrill of victory and the agony of defeat". It was a great season for Duck women softball. Oh how it hurts to be oh, so close! I'm very impressed with #33, P, Lindsey Grein. What a competitor. The whole team was fun to watch. OK. Bring on the football team! Go DUCKS!!

So is this a done deal or still in negotiations? I thought they were considering it only. I think it's funny that hiring the great Riley (at $100M for 10 years) results in this scenario. Traditions be d*#nd! I wonder how long Notre Dame can remain independent. They do have a huge following.

I think Sadiq is already on everyone's radar. Not an unknown.

I completely believe Oregon is getting mistreated because we have won too much in our first year in the B1G.Add to that the lunacy belief that uncle Phil's $$ is the only reason for our success, and you end up with ODS, Oregon derangement syndrome. All we can do is keep winning, I guess. It is hard to schedule a season of games when the standards aren't set the same for everyone. I for one hope we see Beavis again, so that once again we can defeat little brother.
