As I ponder it...I do NOT like what Canzano is doing. He is beginning a narrative that will be used later blaming, "Oregon was the reason the Pac-12 folded."
It will play well with his Oregon State readers.
I was thinking the same thing. He loves stirring the pot to get the Beavs in a hussy. But, then again he makes his money because of it.

It baffles ne that ESPN is willing to let the West Coast TV market slip away.
If Stanford, CAL, uw and Oregon move to BIG then FOX controls the 4:00 to 7:00 pm pst broadcasts.
If ESPN had come to the table with 9 million or more for PAC After Dark on top of the Apple offer, then the PAC would survive the next 4 or 5 years.
Something is not right with all this!
How can sports broadcasters not want the media rights for 3 or 4 Top 25 Brands.
Does this baffle anyone else?
I feel it shows just how dire ESPN's finances are currently. There is a reason they are firing so many people and looking for partners to buy in. They NEED money and they need it now!

A group shot of the B1G mascots, and look who is snuck into the top row?
...and a little dawg on the bottom row.

I sure hope the $20M figure is NOT true.
If it is. There will be no less than six schools looking for better offers.

I think they'll get better under Deion, but would be nice to remind them where they belong on an annual basis.
I think Coach Sanders will eventually make them better... if he sticks around.
I honestly feel the Pac(?) just got harder with CU leaving. One less "gimme" on the schedule.

The seating differential will depend on whether they are still renovating half of reser stadium or not.
Seating capacity at Reser will be 35,548 for 2023.
SJSU stadium is currently holds 30,456. But, completion of their renovation is hoped for in August. After that I would expect it will be greater than Reser's current capacity.

I could easily see replacing CU with SDSU and remaining at 10.

My guess... tOSU is coming to Autzen to make up for the game missed due to Covid (as article noted). That would fulfill the H&H agreement that got botched.

Or, alternatively, you could articulate those "levels" rather than disparage someone else's sincere opinion . . .?
You are right and I apologize for not stating some of my reasons for not wanting BSU in the PAC(?).
Honestly, my reasons are quite petty. It pretty much comes down to me not liking the team, the fans, the stadium, or the landscape of Boise. I would not travel to Boise to watch our Ducks play. Same way I will never go back to Pullman.
But, as others have pointed out, the institution itself is not on par with the other schools already within the Pac(?) academically. Their athletics will not help future media negotiations.
To me they just don't seem to as good of a fit as SDSU, SMU, UNLV, or even Hawaii. But, that's just my opinion.

I was stuck in a vehicle with my brother (a beaver) all day yesterday. He basically is saying the exact same spew.
Two close losses have given both our rivals lots of energy, hope, and delusion.
Coach Lanning needs to remind them who has owned the PNW the last couple decades and show them it is not about to change.

So stick around. The Ducks fans appreciate good football, seem to want to know how Kirby and the Dawgs operate, and would probably appreciate a wider variety of opinions from that fan base other than my own.
Yes. We appreciate both Nevada dawg and SoGaDawg on this site. Please come often, talk football, and share your knowledge. We love hearing from respectful/passionate fans from all teams..... Except the little dogs from up north.

With a healthy Bo the sky is the limit.
But, if Bo goes down... I feel this season could get ugly in a hurry.

Chip took a DB and made him lightening out of a bootle, in a dynamic offense that was worth more than the ticket price while giving us our first Heisman.
Hayward, I will agree with you that Chip rose the standards of expectations at UO. But, I must correct you on this (unless I'm misinterpreting it). It was Helfrich that recruited Marcus as an assistant and it was Helfrich who was Head Coach when Marcus won the Heisman. Not Chip.
I 100% agree that Helfrich makes a much better OC than Head Coach and I honestly feel Mark and Chip were equally as lazy when it came to recruiting. But, I'm very thankful to both of their brilliant offensive minds.

If the PAC announces a deal that includes streaming I'll write an article on FishDuck about the easiest ways to get streaming set up. Once it's set up actually feels like linear TV
Better start writing! I feel this is inevitable. Very kind of you to make this offer to help.

I'm old. But, I am partial to the newer uniforms.
That being said. I feel once a year these uniforms should be used for a BIG game. USC is a great choice for this year! Remind the soft boys from USC what GANG GREEN feels like!

Thank you for this. I agree this has been the case lately on many topics. It has kept me from posting several time just knowing it will trigger someone's need to push their agenda. We really need some fresh news to discuss!

For a former employee to praise in this way means a lot.
What really has me excited is that Coach Lanning recognizes these advantages and plans to make full use of them. I feel he will be around a long, long time.

To me this simply means the Pac? did not want to rush the process just to save SDSU some money.
SDSU will still be the first school offered a place in the Pac. They'll just have to come up with 16mil if they want to join in less than a years time.
It seems very likely that SDSU and SMU will both be joining sometime in the near future.

Wasikowski definitely has this program trending upward. At a fairly high rate I may add. I loved seeing PK Park host a Super Regional. Great for the boys and the city.

Incredible! I always thought Aaron would be the first Duck to do it. But, super happy for Clark!

Postgame vs. Oral Roberts | Super Regional Game 3
Head Baseball Coach Mark Wasikowski and members of the team meet with the media following Oral Roberts' Game 3 win to take the Eugene Super Regional over the Ducks.
For whatever reason, this was just posted today. I know some of you like to see the postgame interviews so here is last one of the season.
Players looked crushed. This team gave everything they had. While it may not have been the outcome we all hoped for... You can't help but be proud of them. Great season boys! Go Ducks!

My biggest issue with Pate's take is that he's hyper-focused on one factor (talent) while ignoring all the other factors listed above.
That is my only issue with Pate's opinion. He needs to recognize that talent alone does not make a TEAM. If it did USC and Texas would always be contenders. Yet, they rarely are.

Excited to see how far this team can make it. Go Ducks!
Canzano: Conference Demise Hinges on Oregon
in Our Beloved Ducks

The Beaver fans love to bash us for pretty much everything.
But, when it came to funding their baseball stadium they were more than willing to take a hand out from our biggest donor.
If they want us to fill guilty for listening to a B1G offer how about a big "Your Welcome" to us and our Uncle Phil.
