This guy has sales talent for sure. I’m buying until he is proven wrong. Whether or not any of these guys play much is going to be all about the coaches. If he is 20% correct that would be fantastic.

Had some really bad beers in my 30 plus years in the beer business. I drank them anyway.

Yes Jon, guess I should have added winning will turn into dollars if you do it enough. Lol.

Just when I thought college athletics was moving towards fairness to college athletes, well, clearly it is not. I guess I lost my mind for a year or so. I played sports in college and traveling was my least favorite thing to do. Wears on your mind and the sleep you get is not good sleep. If you play in the big boy houses once a year is way different than doing it 4 times a year. Winning at Michigan and Ohio State was a rare event. Can’t expect outcomes like that very often. Winning on the road in the pack is tough enough. Believe it or not it’s all about the wins, not much else matters.

Good article to take up space in a slow time for college sports. We spend a lot of time talking about a subject that probably won’t happen. I’ve stated several times the reasons I think it won’t happen so I won’t waste ink listing them again. UCLA better make the playoffs this year cuz it’s their last shot. I don’t see usc doing it either. The longer this drags on the cooler heads will prevail. IMHO I think the pack will survive and Oregon will spend the rest of my life making the playoffs year after year and I will leave this life a happy man. Go s

The team with the best defense.

Prime Time was an amazing athlete. Hard to believe this could happen to him. Amazing 2 sport athlete, second only to Bo in my mind.

Finebumb is pretty pathetic in my eyes. Don’t think I’ve ever believed anything he says.

Oregon will loose a lot of money in travel expenses if it jumps and more than likely will never see the playoffs in the two major sports. Lots of student athletes will be forced to leave the school in many other sports. Don’t like college sports turned into professional sports and that is not a good look. Won’t work for the northwest schools that’s for sure IMO.

I guess Danny White, won first 3 fiesta bowls and 2 super bowls plus a Super Bowl mvp, at Arizona State oh and Mark Malone we’re not worth mentioning. This is why I take with a grain of salt what sports writers have to say. I do read them however for a good laugh now and then. Saw Danny play against Oregon State at Civic Stadium along with Ben Malone, Woody Green, and Roy Jefferson back in the day. I believe Woody, a Portland kid, was the leading rusher in the nation that year and rushed for over 1300 yards 3 times at ASU. Easily the best offense I’ve seen from a college football team. I believe ASU was in the WAC at that time. Can’t remember the score but it was a butt kicken. Anyway how do you leave Danny White out.

Hitting is all about confidence and as of this moment the Ducks should be full of it. Part that worries me is our pitching staff capable of holding down OR’s offense. From all indications they are doing enough to accomplish their goal. Let’s hope the dream stays alive. Go s

I think most beaver fans that I know, and the list is long, would rather see the Ducks lose than the Beavs win. Lol

I think more misery is ahead for the la schools in recruiting. The only advantage I see is the money which IMO will not out way the travel aspect that will come with the move. Expenses will also increase with hotel bills, food, and the rest that goes with travel. Ohio State and Michigan will love sitting at home waiting to clobber the travel weary west coast schools. I can see both la schools tossing some sports out the door simply because of travel expenses. There are plenty of schools in the pack that you can go to as a fan and see your team or child play and not have the misery of going through airport lines and sitting there for 3 hours waiting for a flight. I’m sure some mom and dads in la are taking that into consideration when going through the selection process. The la schools will still get the die hard kids but the ones that are on the fence may not pick those traitors and pick a team that will play games closer to home. Oregon I think will take advantage of this situation especially if the la schools struggle this season and in the future. Things might note be all roses in la. We can only hope.

Having a good pitching staff is imperative when you go to regional play. I hope ours can hold up and get thru the first regional. Would be a big step for recruiting next year.

Had a friend in college who was an offensive lineman and his favorite thing was to block DBs downfield. He was around 6’4 310lbs. OUCH.

College sports are rapidly becoming a joke.

Thanks Charles and moderators. My urination frequency totally depends on how many IPAs I’ve consumed that evening.

With all the negative press the pack is getting, which I try my best to ignore but is increasingly difficult, this is a great time to be a Duck. Dan and his staff have brought great energy to Eugene and we all hope it turns into success on the field. Autzen is a great place to be on game day. Go s

Unless the defense improves dramatically there probably won’t be a lot of garbage time this season. I think TTs problem is not his physical attributes and weather the mental part can be fixed remains to be seen. MC did more to stop his emotional game than we all think. That all seems so long ago. Let’s face it Ty is not a rookie. IMHO its time to look forward. This staff will probably give Ty the nod and he probably deserves it but is it the best coarse for the future? Probably not. It would be nice to be wrong however.

John is collusion legal in college sports and if it is not can the pack schools left sue the 2 LA schools for collusion and leaving the pack? Is it the same as price fixing, which is illegal but done every day?

It seems so strange to me that the pack is on the edge of disaster and this might be, from top to bottom, the best year for the pack in football that I can remember. There are several teams ranked in the top 25 and it will be a gauntlet to go thru the pack undefeated. The Ducks ,under Lanning, have the potential to be the best ever and this coaching staff must never sleep to achieve a roster we have not seen here before. If not for Spoiled children and leaky Larry I think this conference would have grown into a powerhouse for years to come. This year should be fun to watch for sure. Although doomsday for the the pack might be inevitable I will be the one that hopes and prays it survives. Money is the root of all evil and it sure looks like it will destroy what took many years to develop. Go s

Another can of worms for sure.

Watch the unions jump in and take college sports down another notch. The end of college sports may be closer than we think. Like it or not sports are an incentive for a lot of students to pick a school even if they are there to study. Look out!!!

With the Ducks ability to move the ball it would be nice to have a punter that can pin the opponents deep in their own territory. This would help a defense that really couldn’t stop much last season. Giving our offense more opportunities to move the ball is extremely important this season. A quality punter can’t hurt.

Can’t teach speed and this kid has it. Be a great addition to track and football. Speed kills.
