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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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!

Hang in there PDuck. We are all pulling for you. Covid is tough. But, you're a Duck... you can beat it!

Great points HappyToBeADuck! Now write a headline for those points that will grab national attention... Dobb's is all about the clicks.

I have no problem looking to the portal for another backup QB. I just do not feel as strongly as Charles (and others) towards Ty proficiencies or lack there of. To say the Ducks can't win a game with him playing seems very extreme given what I saw once he settled into the game. Just my thoughts.

While Ty has not lived up to anywhere near the hype he received coming out of high school. I do believe he is improving. My take: His nerves are still a HUGE issue for him. His first two processions were carbon copy what we saw during the season last year. He had one thought in his head.. get rid of the ball ASAP no matter the cost! Both of those series I believe ended up with Mase Funa getting hands on the ball. After that he settled in a bit and made a couple reads and check downs. I did feel towards the end of the first half (when he played with some urgency) he showed some promise, made some good reads, used his feet to buy time, and delivered some nice balls. This carried over a bit into the second half. Do I feel he has what it takes to win games... Yes. But, not against the better third of the Pac12. I do feel more confident in putting him in for clean up duty to protect Bo from unwanted exposure to injury. That is a plus.

That was the best game I've watched in a long time. I have not followed either team. But, being from San Diego I was watching through scarlet colored glasses and could not be happier with the outcome. What a game! One more to go Aztecs. As to the Pac12 expansion sub-topic... There is not a more deserving/ logical candidate that SDSU and I definitely do feel the Pac needs a SoCal presence.

He has missed the cut at 4 of his last 5 tournaments. For Aaron that has to be tough... and not up to his standard or ability. Hope he can get it sorted.

He has been struggling this year. I hope he can figure things out. He is one of a handful of golfers I follow regularly. I'm pulling for him.

I too love Pac12 football. To me it is the most entertaining of all the Power 5 conferences. I do not want this style of football to disappear. I hate to think of our Ducks plodding down the field the way Iowa or Wisconsin does. Made me yawn just typing that. But, unless George can work a miracle I do not see the Pac competing in 8-10 years. I'm hoping to still be around past that timeline and want my Ducks to still be a top 10-15 program. I'm blindly trusting in UO leadership to make the right call for the program's future. With that said. I'm getting used to eating cheese curds and drinking Leinenkugel's.... Because that is what I see in our future.
