Anything espn can do to add to/hasten the demise of the Pac.

I loved that S.Eugene grad, dual sport (DB on our football team) athelete Bryce Boettcher was in the game to make the last out. Totally cool. Keep it going guys!

Ducks win!!! Final out caught by two star athelete #28 Bryce Boetcher. Nice!

PSU tickets are on sale this weekend for $35. Also for Hawaii. Or you can get both for $50. That's one way to get a home crowd. (I do like the affordability for those who never get to go in person. Game day experience is a great one)

I feel the same, but the reality is college football will probably undergo some huge changes in the notsodistant future. Be ready for some major roller-coaster riding!

Thanks for the summary Mr. Fishduck. I haven't given in to paying yet and I think Mr. Baldface has best insight on Pac12 business.

Some great wins, back to back by the Duck baseball. Great time for the bats to get lively! Go Ducks. One more win!

Does anyone know what criteria is used to determine color selection? Curious minds want to know.

The key with Gonzo was his hard work ethic. And his relationship with coach Meat. I'm hoping each of these transfers see Oregon as a fresh start and a chance to work hard and prove themselves. If that's the case, they should do well and the Ducks should do very well. This was an interesting way to compare transfers. The O-line particularly seems to have gained. Coach DL seems to be a great attractor of talent.

Parity does increase viewership. No one really wants to watch blow outs regularly. Equal pay and rules helps make better viewing for fans. The TV companies are missing that college sports are followed by regional interests. This attempt at national expansion won't pay off IMO.

And none of the LA schools move on. Awesome.

Perhaps all these "minor" details sheds some light on why the Pac12 media deal is taking so long. I hope that means George is making sure it's all worked out correctly.

IIs Bo worth the 1.5M? An analogy: Many years ago my son worked at a little kiosk in the mall selling sports memorabilia and mostly sport cards. He was often asked, "how much is that Jordan rookie card really worth?" Or some such similar question. His answer, "how much are you willing to pay?" Bo is worth exactly what the NIL collective is willing to pay. And for us to have any real legitimate chance of a stellar season, we need Bo Nix. Like the rest of y'all greybeards, I'm sad to see college sports come to this pay for play...but if we want to compete, I guess we need to get on board. All abooaarrrd! Let's go Ducks!

It can take time to develop relationships with players, but also with local coaches. I'm guessing Deboer & Co. have work to make up for from previous poor UW recruiting efforts. It is fun to see all the excuses they come up with. But really, coach Lanning is genuine, players and parents see that, and he has hired great recruiting coaches. And ones that develop talent. I think all the support that Oregon has from the school, community, the facilities, the NIL support, puts us way ahead of Udub. For all their rhetoric, they are behind putting money where their yappy mouths are!

Well, the Beavs schedule sets up pretty nice for them. They have a good chance to start 3-0, and they get Utah, UW and UCLA at home. At WSU and at UO are toughest games. Their 1st conference game and their last. Winning the Pac-12 this year won't be easy. May come down to team with fewest injuries.

Neon Dion must realize he stands a better chance of winning against the likes of Nebraska et Co. then he does against the Pac12. Sounds like a panic move to me.

If we analyze Bo's throws, he too looked pretty inept most of the day. Many throws too long, wounded ducks, or low and away. Spring games, with teams divided for equality, are pretty difficult to get a true feel for. Add in a new offense, I'm not going to give up on TT just yet. IMO, he needs game time action to build his confidence. I also recall there was much lamenting about Bo preseason last year, so I'm gonna wait and see with TT.

Echos of Patrick Chung here! All the best Christian! I bet you will be first all-star from this year's db class. Those cold winters in Colorado will help you for New England. And your first round choice will help coach Meat get better recruits. Go work hard, and show your stuff.

I understand he is a rising star, thus his status should improve by signing day. Also, coach Stein is supposed to be a great qb developer.

I hope he does. Once he has stacked 3 or 4 recruiting classes, you might expect him to already have his guys. Then he can grab one or two as needed. (See AL taking a qb this year)

Colarado and "Neon" Dion are showing the college football world what the transfer portal is all about. He has kicked off half the players from last years roster, and not worried about tact in the process. As bad as this looks, our Ducks are 2nd in losing the most players! We all know also, that half of kids in portal won't land anywhere. Is this really the way of the future? Is winning at any cost, making the playoff, really the end- all, be-all? I guess if we're gonna pay the kids to play, they need to produce. But what of coaching? Helping a kid develop? I would love to hear from our great OBD faithful. What are your thoughts about these huge turnovers? I'm not even trying to learn our roster until Sept, too much change.

I love beating UW at anything, but, they beat us in the regular season. Spring "games" are a practice. I also love Lanning, but we lost last year to the two teams I HATE to lose to. So, while it's fun to laugh at their measly attendance, we gotta win when and where it matters, on the field! (It must be embarrassing for them though)

Down to 84. Avante Dickerson, reserve DB is gone. We now have room for a TE, or maybe that WR from USuC.

Frankly, I think the issue is Oregon is too dominant. Good teams are too smart to risk an OOC loss, and coming to Autzen is a big risk. Playing WSU, AZ, UCLA, even Utah, is not at all the same risk level. And if you go back to when these games were scheduled, none of these Pac12 teams were scaring anyone away. JJ, those "one-off" games are not as preferable as H&H, but they bring lots of eyes early in the season and pay handsome for it. This year's game with TT has the added bonus of pitting former Duck Tyler Shough against Bo Nix. Should be a fun added bonus. By the time we play OSU, they may be the best team in the Big12. And seeing as we just snatched Baylor's QB commit from last year, that adds a little extra to that game. I agree that strength of schedule should count, but we all know it doesn't ever seem to matter enough. It's all about W's and no L's. I'll take the current scheduling for now, until we at least make the playoffs a couple times.

One last thought, Deion brings a lot of bling with him. Don't blame a kid for being curious about Colorado. Heck, I'm curious if he's the real deal.
