I just kept checking in for the first 8 hours of today's rounds, but sat glued to my chair for the last hour!

SDSU made it to the championship game in men's basketball this year, so I'd say they're already at a pretty high level in that sport.

Tradition? Spot on regarding the stadium itself but people watching the game under a snowbank only see the sunshine and the Sun Gabriel Mountains.
Yes, so they don't know any better.

I have no idea why some people love the Rose Bowl. The thing has terrible site lines for seating and you can tell it was built in 1902. I don't need a space ship for a stadium, but I'm sorry the actual stadium is past its prime and really should be demolished and rebuilt.
Yes! I think that stadium is a pit! Worn, uneven stairs, narrow tunnels (took us an hour to get out the stadium after the 2010 Rose Bowl, because one--one!--tunnel was closed due to some sort of construction), you have to go outside the stadium for concession stands and bathrooms--and the bathrooms dreadful.

Pre-season rankings are a joke, they shouldn't be allowed until at least 4 weeks into the season.
I agree!

Another issue that we are always facing is based on the preseason polls.
Let's say 6 SEC teams in the top 20 (who have earned NOTHING yet butt media darlingship) and then those teams "cannibalize" each other, may still end up in the top 20 because they only lost to "top" 20 teams.
So yes, Pate's premise is off due to rankings based upon recruiting and also preseason bias.
And this is why I want to scream when I hear people say that the rankings at the beginning of the year don't matter, that it's only at the end of the year. But where a team is ranked at the end of the year, as you point out, can be determined by how it and its opponents are ranked at the beginning of the year.

At this rate, I may have to settle for following only Oregon games--on the radio.

PD, I hope you will be out of the hospital soon, and back home and feeling well again.

I would assume that all Pac-12 games would be with one streaming service, hence a contract with Amazon or Apple for example. You would have one service to pay for all sports, all teams, and I hope most of the games.
I would like to see games on both TV and streamed for full global coverage, but I do not know if that can work.
For example...today I wanted to watch the Oregon Baseball game, but would have to sign up and pay for ESPN+ at ten bucks a month. If we had our streaming contract--it would be part of that one service.
Yes, I guess all PAC-12 teams would be with one streaming service. But then there would still be games from other conferences. If each conference would be on a different streaming service, that could get pricey.
However, if games are on TV and streamed, then

How do you get football fans converted to streaming? By starting with an occasional big game they won’t want to miss.
Frankly, this is part of the new entertainment world that I assume will later happen to Oregon.
Like USC fans-we will not like it at first, but will adapt and ultimately prosper from it.
I don't know. When it gets so that, in order to watch all the PAC-12 games we want to watch (not to mention other conferences) that we have to pay multiple services, some of us (cough, me) might just say enough.

I hope and pray that the doctors can find a way to knock out that viral/bacteria infection.

In addition to the aforementioned, the RG sports section of the early 70’s also featured sports editor Blaine Newnham and Bud Withers, excellent writers who eventually moved on to the Seattle Times. John Conrad was also on that staff and eventually became the section’s editor.
The coverage of the Ducks in those was clearly the best in the conference.
Ah, yes, those three were also great writers. I do have to say, though, that Newnham always bugged me with what I felt was his attitude about the huskies being superior. So I found it satisfying that when he moved to Seattle was also when the Ducks started beating uw.

So many great writers used to be at the RG. Just in sports we had Ron Bellamy, George Schroeder, Austin Meek, and many, many others. On Sundays (only one day after a Duck Saturday football game!) we could look forward to 4 pages of photos and articles.
I started reading the local newspaper in CT, where I grew up, as soon as I could read. Okay, I started with the comic section--but isn't that in part what the comic section is for? To draw in young readers?
As skimpy as the RG is now, I still read it. I also read Eugene Weekly. Print versions of both (except Saturday for the RG, when I have to read it online). My home town paper in CT had been published for 100 or so years before it stopped. Yes, I can get home town news online. But it's not the same.
And does anyone publish wedding and birth announcements anymore? It's those "small" parts of life that matter as much as the big news. What did Kurt Vonnegut say? “Enjoy the little things in life because one day you`ll look back and realize they were the big things.”

If the BIG gets big enough, then eventually it may break into two conferences, because there will be so many teams that half of them will never play the other half!

I wonder if it's a health issue, if he is leaving. He did have a serious medical condition last year.

If you want to contact a UO athlete about doing NIL for you, anything from posting on social media (maybe Happy Birthday to someone?) to attending an event to autographs to recording a video shoutout for you, here's the official place to go! Prices seem to start at $12, and of course go up from there. I think it would be fun to have an athlete tweet a Happy Birthday, Congratulations, whatever to someone.

No matter the alternative escaping from Larry's Loser Network will be a boon.
Games that kick off at 10:30 and even 7:30 Eastern time on the network: If a tree falls in the forest ...

OT-Know About the Cooler in Eugene?
in Our Beloved Ducks
Posted
(Please delete if this is not appropriate.)
I'm looking for information on The Cooler restaurant near Autzen. How is the food? Prices? Is it a dive, or not a dive?
Thanks!
