Yikes! I hope he wasn’t interviewing for a job. Can’t stand that guy. EDIT: I could stand Frost as an analyst.

I live in LA, and I am seriously considering getting ‘24 season tickets at U$C in the visitors’ section. 🤣 Soooooooooo worth it to get to cheer against them vs all those B1G teams.

I remember when 9am West Coast kickoffs were floated a few years back and Troy Dye reacted something to the effect, “What is that, like a 4am wake-up?” It’s not going to happen on the West Coast. I would LOVE a 9am game in MI, OH, or PA.

It’s too late for WSU, but Fubo.tv has all the networks and pac-12 channels. We got rid of cable and only use fubo—totally worth it.

This is when it’s nice to have a former starter, Bridges, as your 3rd string CB.

@Charles Fischer I was thinking the same thing—that 15 looks so sweet

special teams rockin’

I am loving all the pressure from the DL

UO 45 - 20 1 T0 4 sacks 388 passing yards

Great topic! I’d love for Khyree Jackson to be the D MVP bc it means we dominated against the pass. Penix is going to get the ball out quickly to neutralize the rush, but Khyree will be there for the PBU. I think James is a great pick for O MVP.

Agreed. We play Cal, they play Furd, and Cal is slightly better.

Maybe OR is a slight favorite against UW but UW has an easier schedule after that? I would bet that the winner of this game shoots up to 40%+ odds to win out.

I totally agree that it’s senseless not to have the 4 West Coast teams play every year. It makes no sense logistically, financially, or historically. And it makes even less sense that we play Rutgers and Maryland as frequently as the LA schools. Sure, it might have been more complex to schedule, but that’s what computers are for.

This explains a lot—the “eye test” in your comment refers to how the perceived SOS looks btwn the teams, which is all these voters do. I watched that game, and my “eye test” says that UCLA dominated start to finish and made WSU’s star QB look mundane. One issue we have in the league now is that we have a circular firing squad. Utah beat UCLA, who beat WSU, who beat OSU, who beat Utah.

Undoubtedly there will be current Ducks who will transfer for various reasons, so I think the portal evens out after the season. I tend to be risk averse, so I say take the bird in the hand—build as strong a class as possible then fill in the holes in the Spring with the portal.

Someone please explain to me like I am child… …why WSU is ranked 19th, while the team that just beat them, UCLA, with the identical record, is ranked 22nd? Coaches’ poll is absolute garbage. AP poll has WSU 1 higher than UCLA.

Not at all kooky. Dux already have a worldwide brand. The B1G will only magnify it.

💯 Anything before ‘00 only matters to parents.

All I know about Riley and Williams is what they put on tape. Williams looks amazing on the field. He looks like a petulant child off the field. All the shots of Williams on the sidelines show him pouting and not talking to anyone. Riley too is a pout-machine. I think if Williams were a better leader and cared more about the team when he’s not playing, the USC D _might_ play better. The Cotton Bowl collapse looked like a QB, an OL, and a defense that did not want to be on the field. Last night Williams actually looked bored.

USC is not a serious team. Riley is not a serious head coach.

I am getting Cotton Bowl flashbacks and am loving every minute of it.

I think a true frosh QB can do that. Moore and the offense looked more comfortable as the game went on.

Exactly this. At least now there are direct flights from Burbank to Eugene, so family and friends can realistically get to Autzen in 4 hrs door-to-door.

“…tthe Ducks actually end up playing Ohio State more over the next three years than they do USC or UCLA. “The Ducks get games against USC in 2025 and 2026, but they miss them in both 2024 and 2027. Similarly, Oregon plays UCLA in 2024 and 2026, but not in 2025 or 2028.” I am livid. Gonna need an IPA…

Wow—as an Angeleno Duck, I am Extremely disappointed with this schedule. USC and UCLA should play the Ducks every year with one home and one away. wth?
