That's what SC/UCLA are selling... By comparison, Furd's trip is shorter.
BTW, my wife and I are hoping to make the same short trip to watch this game, if the airlines cooperate. Last chance before our daughter graduates from ND!
Hope you get to go to the game, and Congratulations to your daughter!

Stanford to South Bend, a short distance? "Only" a little over 2,000 miles?

Looking forward to seeing Dillingham's offense. But I saw that he is only 32 years old--I think I have Duck T-shirts older than that!

“If these (Big Ten) deals go through, then next up will be the Pac-12, which ESPN likes because of its late night windows,” Marchand wrote.
It this means more stinking night games, I am not going to be a happy camper.

I think the players have worn pink before, though not sure if it was on the numbers.
Otherwise I don't notice any striking differences in the unis.

To Mario...two things are most important; toughness and loyalty. He played Anthony Brown almost exclusively because he was showing underclassmen to wait your turn because he will be "loyal" to you when your turn comes.
When Cristobal heard the boos, (and knew it was directed at him) I believe he regarded that as a betrayal by the "ungrateful" Oregon fans, the worst thing you can do in his world, and that is being "disloyal."
After he got over the shock? I believe he made the "I'm headed to Miami" decision, and that was when....the Cal game? In his mind--we deserved to be dumped, and did not deserve his full attention because of such terrible disloyalty....
If this is true, it will be interesting to see what happens if Miami has a so-so season or two. Will the fans give him a chance and stick with him, or will there be some boos in the stands at Hard Rock Stadium? And if there should be boos, how will he react?
-
My feeling is that since Mario is no longer the coach at Oregon that I don't have all that much interest in him anymore. He recruited well at Oregon, took the team to PAC-12 championships, but sometimes lost games that it certainly seems shouldn't have been lost, and left in a way that left a sour taste in the mouth in that he seemed to be out the door by the middle of November. But for good or ill, he's Miami's coach now. I'd much rather focus on Dan Lanning and the Ducks.

Well, let's see. The Ducks have an entirely new coaching staff, a QB who will be starting for the Ducks for the first time no matter who he is, and the usual number of good players who have graduated/left for the NFL/whatever, so others will have to step up.
I'm certainly no football expert, so I'll just say that I'm going to strap myself into my seat for every game, home or away, and see what this team can do. One thing I think is fairly certain is that it will be exciting to watch.

This video made me buy tickets to the Utes game. Section 9 row 25. Haven't been to a game in a long long time. If I remember right, section 9 is somewhere around the student section. Hope thats not to obnoxious.
Yes, near the student section on about the 25-30 yard line. Nice seats!

But have you noticed they rarely, if ever, feature a male cheerleader? It’s because the person behind the camera is a guy....
That reminds me of Brent Musburger whenever the camera lingered on a buxom fan in the stands. You could practically hear him drooling and leering. And of course we could hear his lascivious comments! Ick!

It's kind of interesting/funny that none of us have mentioned that some (6) of the cheerleaders are male, although they are listed as Stunt Base members of the cheer squad. 10 women are listed as Stunt Tops, and 15 women listed as Dancers.

It's about 33 minutes, covers a lot of ground. I found the talk about the rise of San Diego St. of particular interest.

Thanks for posting--fun to see what the players think.

It's not related to the Ducks, but two Al Michael's calls.
First, of course, at the Olympics, "Do you believe in miracles?"
Second, the World Series in SF, "I think we're having an earth--"
-
I am not interested in seeing pictures of cheerleaders. I don't watch them at games, haven't for years. They pretty much stopped leading cheers years ago when they started doing bump-and-grind dance routines instead.
To each his or her own, but I have no interest in seeing photos of cheerleaders on FishDuck.

Let's hope that, among other things, Lanning can get the defense to really improve.

I remember years and years and years ago there were Duck fans who wanted Oregon to switch to the Mountain West Conference, I think it was, so that the Ducks "could win more often." My, how times have changed.

That would be awesome! Take the 18 best teams and make west, central, and eastern pods.
Play the other 5 pod teams in your region every year and 2 each from the other two regions on a rotating schedule.
What if all 35 teams (that, I think, would be the number after USC and Ucla leave the Pac-12, and Big 12 without TX and OK) are one Super-Duper Conference? Divide it up with sub-conferences and divisions?
-
No article or research here, just pretty much the question, and a couple follow-up questions.
Could it be done? How would it affect the SEC and the upcoming new Big 10?

I'm with the East to West being easier. I've had the worst jet lag going from Oregon to CT.

I can't speak for all of New Hampshire, but I grew up in CT, and I can tell you CK's personality does not represent most of New England!

Pac-12/Big 12 Merger: The National Athletic Conference

Thing is, the PAC probably would want to add a couple California schools (for TV ratings).
Of course, they could be added to the above list for a conference of 18 with 9 in each division. Or find a couple more schools and have 20/10.

Interesting how several of us remember "Only you can prevent forest fires." In 200l the line was changed to "Only you can prevent wildfires," and that is the slogan today. But I grew up hearing "forest fires" and that's what I still think even when I hear the new slogan.
