Well, the numbers are starting to come in. I wonder how this affects Utah's potential deal. Big 12 nearing private capital deal that could raise up to $500 million - Yahoo Sports Only a matter of time before the BIG 2 enter the bidding wars.

The woods are damn close in Eugene.

Duke Dukes Ducks! Why are we playing the Dukes? Due to Duke upsetting Virginia.

BAAAAD, likely done for the season. Indiana likely without DE Stephen Daley for CFP - ESPN

In October he boasted his new coach would have the top salary in the Pac-12. It came true when WSU lost their coach. But was he talking about the new Pac-12? Scott Barnes said Oregon State football coach’s pay would be ‘top of the Pac-12.’ It’s not even close - oregonlive.com Turns out No. 1 is now the new No. 6 out of 7.

I did as I thought Indy would beat tosu and I think we will win the Indy rematch. We played a below our standard game the first time around and we a deflected pass away from a possible OT game. tosu was the unknown as they hadn't played any really tough games until the BIG CShip where their worts were exposed.

Yes, but no specifics yet.

Speaking of the BIG, only four teams from last year's 12 team playoffs again qualified this year . . . Oregon, Indiana, Ohio State and our forum friend's Georgia Bulldogs.

Timeliness, I call El Toro Poopoo. Now instead of lungpower, you use keyboards to create girlfriends.

This could be a huge break through (sorry beavs, four-digit deals are probably the best you will be able to do in your future). Sources: University of Utah nearing landmark private equity deal expected to generate $500 million - Yahoo Sports The move isn’t completely foreign to college sports. Over the last several months, a host of schools — Kentucky, Michigan State, Clemson — have announced the creation of a private, revenue-generating entity outside of the athletic department as college sports evolves into a more professionalized ecosystem. None of those schools have partnered with an equity firm.

I am not a ND fan, but I am ok with the decision. We will see a lot of bowl games (well, I won't because I don't like the glare of empty seats staring at me from my TV) wherein the teams/players just don't care. The three main reasons are money, NIL money and ESPN/FOX/network money. There are way too many bowl games and the playoffs have rusted these other games. Most schools lose money having to purchase x number of tickets which they can't sell and going to El Paso in January to cheer on a barely .500 team just isn't a dream of min.

How about 30% not in the top 25! I remember the "experts" predicting which top ten team was most likely to be out of the top 25 by season's end, as it always happens to at least one team, and the Ducks led the charge.

I stopped watching and listening after No. 5 announced and our opponent. My wine tolerance is steroidal in nature compared to my lack of whine tolerance.

Like everything else, it depends on how much money they are given to do so!

Jon, please don't bet the house, we have enough unhoused already.

Agreed. Duke, BYU and Georgia. Let the talking heads lose their dinosaur brains with "who did you beat" vs "yeah but who did you lose to" I'm looking at you Miami, 'Bama, ND and Texas.

Lanning breaks down the traits he is looking for "To me, it's about the ability to be humble, the ability to work with others and share a creative space, to realize it's not just yours, it's others ... " Lanning has been two-for-two in that process, and there's no reason he won't go three-for-three. Lanning breaks down traits for future offensive coordinator

He is in a tough spot. Hard to recruit at his old level in a secondhand conference. However, he should want to challenge his players to know what it will take to get to our level.

Two edge sword, more rust with the extra week off vs one less game with a chance to get key players hurt. Hey Darren "4) Speaking of that, who will be Oregon’s new permanent coordinators?" New "temporary" coordinators, we want ones that eventually be poached.
