Is Bo Nix Oregon’s Best Football Player Ever?
I'm a huge fan of Bo Nix. But, I am not a huge fan of these types of articles. It was well written and stirs conversation so for that I'm grateful. As a longtime Oregon fan. I can NOT choose one player as the GOAT. I can choose my favorite. But, I would feel it is impossible to assign the title of GOAT to one player in the schools history. Every year we have a completely different TEAM. Sure, some of the players are the same. But, the skillset and personalities each year brings out a new TEAM. I will say Bo was this years offensive MVP and for that I am very grateful.

Sugar Bowl Thread: Washington vs. Texas
I started watching this game with my normal distain for UW. Pulling for Texas just to spite UW. It did not take long for me to see who the better team was. It was obvious. As the game progressed I found myself being impressed by Penix and company, agreeing with KD in his interviews, and eventually hoping they would survive the Texas luck-fest... and they did. The only time I felt sickness and vile was when they showed the purple in the stands. I now know it is ONLY the UW fans I currently have distain for. If I had no knowledge of that fanbase... I would be pulling for UW to win it next week. I won't be. But, I'll admit they have a very solid team. For now I have less hate Maize and Blue than I do for the Purple and Gold.

Dreams or Reality? Can the Pac-2 Become a Power-Six Conference? Paid Like It?
I do not feel any group of teams they are able to cobble together will garnish an automatic bid to the playoff with the current (next years) conference arrangement. But, I do feel within a few years (within 10 years) there will be more restructuring of CFB in general. I feel select teams (likely 50-60) from all conferences will be picked for an upper tier league with four divisions/conferences. I could see OSU/WSU being selected for that. There are BAD teams in all conferences that likely would be left out making room for them. Of course this will only happen if OSU/WSU can stay competitive within that timeframe... which is highly questionable.

The 'Left-Out' Bowl Will Be Ugly...
FSU is acting like they want to boycott the game. In reality they're petrified of being exposed.

Transfer Portal Impact on QBs Recruited Out of High School?
That is my point. While fans may have thought there was a competition when Bo came in... there wasn't. The coaches already knew Bo was their man and as close to a sure upgrade as could be expected. I feel this must again be the case if the Ducks take another transfer this year. It must be a clear upgrade. Ty has had two years more experience than when Bo came. If he is not the man. For his own sake he should be guided to the portal. Novosad will be just as good of a back up as Ty was two years ago. I trust DL and staff will make the right decision.

Transfer Portal Impact on QBs Recruited Out of High School?
Exactly, and that's why its a problem! If, your going to bring in a high dollar transfer. It NEEDS to be a sure thing. Teams are fighting over good QBs. Those fights consist of collectives spending big money and promises being made to the QB. If not, that QB isn't coming here. The coach has to have input into that decision. My opinion is DL and staff must decide now if they think TT will have the stuff to start next year or not. If not, they have to get someone significantly better than him. Not someone at his level to compete with.

Duck Fan Choice: Would You Rather...?
I would say Season Tickets. But, I live in Southern Oregon and do not have to fight the nightmare that is northbound I-5 on Saturday night in the fall. If you live up north... ask for a third package option. One away game at B1G stadium of your choice and one home game of her choice.

Transfer Portal Impact on QBs Recruited Out of High School?
Problem is... This is nearly impossible. A good transfer QB is not going to come without hefty NIL and promises. Also, NIL collectives want assurances of that hefty money is being spent on a starting QB not a backup.

The Pain of Being a Superfan
David, I to must be a Superfan. I went to bed Friday night with a knot in my stomach. I hoped I would wake up feeling better. I did not. I couldn't watch any games on Saturday and found myself moping around all weekend. I had a business meeting Sunday evening with someone I knew was a Duck fan. He seemed fine. I asked his thoughts on the game. He cavalierly stated it sucks they lost. But, it wasn't going to affect his life. I walked away from that meeting feeling jealous of his maturity... Then went back to moping.

Playoff Scenario What If's
I'm not 100% sure the committee will see it this way. I would not put be shocked to see Texas at three and Alabama as the fourth seed. FSU may get screwed.

Playoff Scenario What If's
I was thinking the same thing. A one loss Pac-12 would not have been selected. That was a worry I had earlier in the week. I'm honestly glad I'm not on that committee. There are going to be some irate fans.

Washington DID Pay Oregon the Ultimate Compliment...
While I appreciate your enthusiasm and love for the Ducks. They did show the replay... and unfortunately, that was the correct call. His arm, and ball, were coming forward before the strip happened. I really wish that wasn't the case.

Which Michael Penix Will Oregon Face Tonight?
Washington well deserved Pac-12 champs. I don't like it. But, they earned it. Hope they represent the Pac-12 well. Man, that's hard to type.

Nice write up Grandpa. You won this jury member over... oh wait, I was considered biased and relieved of my duties.

The Most Nervous EVER? This is the WORST Week...
I'm more worried about the Georgia/Alabama game than the Duck game. I feel our Ducks will take care of the puppies. But, I'm not sure the Dawgs will handle the Tide.

Broyles Award Finalist Among OSU Coaching Candidates
Troy is an Oregonian having grown up in Roseburg. His high school coach Thurman Bell was a Beaver and definitely engraved Beaver traits in Troy. I would be pleasantly surprised if Troy decided to move to Corvallis. He seems content in Colorado.
