IMO, as long as the B1G remains the conference, revenue sharing should be equal through the regular season and playoff teams share playoff revenue. A stronger conference, as deep as possible, only makes the whole better. Especially for rankings. And rankings are needed to make playoff. The problem with the old Pac12 was that half the country thought it was USuC and everyone else. So a win against Utah, or ASU, etc carried no weight with voters. Whereas beating Ol Miss (or any SEC team) was a great win. You get my drift. tOSU wanting unequal shares is selfish and short-sighted. It's also a move to try and get in front of potential west coast dominance with OBD, UW and USuC surging on the horizon. (Oregon is already there) without full revenue shares Something tOSU is overlooking is the need for mid-level teams to be in- conference to aid in stacking the win column. If PSU, UM, tOSU, USC, UW, Oregon, et al, played each other every year, there would be a lot of cannibalizing and hurting chances of making playoff. Let's recognize the need for "team" play and try and lift each other. A strong conference isn't needed for pro league, but I think a strong conference is mandatory in college. Especially when deciding who makes playoffs is often so subjective.

We

So all players are Lannings guys. All buy in to his "team " philosophy. We are seeing the results. This year's team is different, cuz they're all Lannings boys. We need to change our thinking as Duck fans, cuz these guys are all buying in to the Lanning philosophy: team first. Look at the blocking, the sacrifice (Noah's block on blitz), down field blocking, etc. These guys want everyone to succeed. Raise can be a BIG year. My opinion: Dante is the guy to lead us to a Natty. BUT, Austin Novosad can get it done too. We are in great shape!

Remember he didn't like our fast paced, no huddle offense either. No one like change or adaptations that take away your advantage. Now that everyone can pay players above board, the SEC has no advantage. The degree programs are pretty much all better in B1G schools as they are all AAU members. Dream on st Nick.

If this happens as reported, Oregon might not be able to get transfers before Spring quarter. Winter quarter starts 1st few days of Jan. Registration to be done by Christmas at latest (I think). All transfers would have to start Sping or Summer, possibly missing Spring practice.

Doesn't school start winter session in January? How would a transfer get registered?

Too much early money makes "desire" too difficult to motivate. They already getting paid.

I guess the real issue isn't just losing that first game, but how bad they looked playing the game. Those issues clearly look like coaching issues too. In the modern era of CFB, being an "old blueblood" isn't enough. The best players are demanding huge sums of $$ to play. NIL deals make any school look attractive. The SEC doesn't mean more if they aren't willing to pay more. Before all the $$, getting to a Bowl game was the sign of a good season. Something more than 60 teams could do every year. Now it's all about making the playoffs. Something only 12 teams can aspire to. So early seasons losses to teams you're supposed to bear, just mean more. 'Bama is no longer "the" place. And besides, whoever coaches there will always be compared to Saben. That's an impossible act to follow. We are so blessed to have coach Lanning. Gotta admit it's a little fun watching the mighty blueblood 'Bama realize they may just be average, or worse.

Those Bellichec memes were hysterical! Thanks for sharing. 🤣🤣

Regarding arm strength, Dante fired 2 balls Sadiq couldn't get his hands around. He zipped those balls too fast for Kenyon. KS needs to practice with the jug machine turned up high!

Hey JJ, A win is a win. 😉 Just ask Boise. Remember our last year start? I'm glad to see the 4-0 start. Can hardly wait for Sat! I think MSU Bobcats may be tougher then most think. Sorry, I'm just anxious. Go Ducks! Crush them 'Cats!

I love the walk from campus to Autzen. Over the river, and through the woods... "You'll hear it, long before you see it"

Thank you Charles for this site. I am so ready to read and learn more from all the intelligent followers here. It seems like it's been forever since last season. I'm tired of reading about politics, let's get to what's important, DUCK football!!! Let's sco!

I read somewhere she is pregnant. Wowser.

I see some potential issues with the new delay of game against defense as refs adjust to trying to call this. Oregon D moves a lot presnap. Looks like it is a pretty subjective call. Also diving on loose balls. That always creates pandemonium. Will late guys in to the pile get called? Oh well. Bring it on. Let the games begin!

"Are you ready for some F O O T B A L L?" YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I realize it's a new era, but it's hard for me to think paying kids to play football in college is OK. I'm not wanting to get into it, I've read all the reasoning, I get it, this is what it is. The real issue for me is jealousy. I went to college. I worked 45 years, 50-60+ hrs/wk. Split days off. Not once did I come close to making 6 figures in 1 year! I would have played for free at Oregon, course I wasn't near good enough. Oh well. Is it Saturday yet?

Was great to see. Nice flip too! Several Ducks had great showings this past weekend. Hope they all survive the cut to 53.

I expect both Cal and Stan will kill football program before too long. Paying athletes goes against school's ideology. As for the Pac(S)8, they have made themselves all but irrelevant. Fresno St got hammered by Kansas? Those 4 teams OSU, WSU, Cal & Stan were seldom more than mediocre. They each had a season or two of success but little effort to grow or sustain it. They've earned their current position.

It is what it is. And will always be thus. Just win baby. Just win. Frankly, I don't care what they think. Except when we need votes for rankings purposes. The defense in the post season is still being held against us also. No doubt we will surprise a lot of so-called football gurus this season. Sco Ducks!!

This will be helpful for teams to schedule better teams, maybe help push the SEC to 9 conference games. But it's why I hate preseason prejudicial rankings. They influence mid-season rankings and make some teams look better for early wins, or now losses.
