I'm not sure I agree on that. I'm from San Diego and I can assure you that UCLA does not draw an ounce of attention with SD viewers. USC isn't a whole lot better. Since the Chargers left for LA (don't get me started...) SDSU football has gained much traction in the community as the only team in town. If the Aztecs were on TV against any Pac12 team SD viewers would watch.

To me expansion and Media Rights have to go hand and hand. One must elevate the other. There are some rather large media markets in the west being ignored by the Pac12. San Diego, Las Vegas, Hawaii are some just off the top of my head that are easily in the top 100 markets in the country. SDSU, UNLV, and HI all have decent (at times) athletic programs these schools could be of benefit Kliavkoff for media negotiations. But, I doubt the academia of the conference would see them as equals and fans would not accept them as competent competitors. Watching the Pac12 Network on my phone while traveling the country because no bar/restaurant has it... gets tiring. The current media coverage is simply a joke and without media coverage the Pac will never gain attention. I'm hopeful Kliavkoff can get us an upgrade regardless of whether expansion happens.

WHERE is the Most Inexpensive Place to Retire?
DUCati855 replied to Charles Fischer's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
My brother has been researching this a lot. He watches many videos on YouTube. I believe the channel he likes is called "World According to Briggs". This guy gives tons of different info on city or states. Like cost of living, community services, property values, etc.. He seems to know his stuff and puts in a lot or effort into his reviews. Seems to be a good source of info. -

I like it.... and I bet the recruits like it too! -
LaMichael was the best. But, you have to give a lot of credit to the great downfield blocking. That was a true TEAM.

Worst-Kept Secret Confirmed: WR Jordan Addison to USC
DUCati855 replied to Steven A's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
USC fans: "No, there was not NIL money for Addison"........ "There is no way Conerly would go to Oregon without a huge NIL deal"..... Oregon fans: "No, there was not NIL money for Conerly"......... "There is no way Addison would go to USC without a huge NIL deal"..... The likely truth: Conerly to Addison (and vice versa): "I love getting paid to go play ball with my friends." -

Bringing in two punters makes me think that Snee is likely NOT coming back. I know he had some "issues" to get sorted. I wish him the best. -
What Do YOU Consider Success for Oregon Football in 2022?
DUCati855 replied to FishDuck Article's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Success to me will be seeing improvement every week, not playing down to the competition, and finishing off the opponent. If these things happen. It will be at least 10 win season. With multiple blowouts. Remember those? -

Not Sports--Just a Pic of My New Granddaughter

Very cool! Its been 25 years since my youngest was that size. Hope your son enjoys every second of it.... and you as a grandpa spoil her rotten! -
Charles, I appreciate your opinion and your passion for all things green and yellow. I do feel green and yellow are the school colors and should be well represented in all uniform combinations. Since black and white are not even "colors" their use within the uniform design does not bother me. When used correctly they can enhance the feel and promote emotion. Black strikes fear. White suggests superiority. These are both emotions that should be felt by all of the Ducks competition. Nike infused these shades into the uniforms knowing this. The recruits love it. Nike also realized that adding these multiplies the possible combinations to a near infinite number. This set our Ducks apart from every other school for years. Yes, others are catching up and it may be time to up the ante. This may lead to some failures (like the eggshell uni's). but may lead to the next great idea. I feel the blue bloods can afford to stay classic and Oregon needs to stay innovative. At least we all love our Ducks regardless of what they are wearing.

What do You Want More, a Win Over Georgia or Utah?
DUCati855 replied to 30Duck's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
I just hope for a competitive (one score) game versus Georgia. Then the Ducks need to improve weekly. If that happens a win against the Utes in inevitable. As is a win against whoever is in the P12 championship game. I'm not saying any of this is going to happen. I'd be happy with a 10 win season and not playing down to the competition. That is my realistic hope for this year.
