Ruh-Roh: Big 10 Wish List
We only need them until 2036 when after 13 more W's in a row, we will lead the series 61-60-5. Gotta savor this from Wikipedia ..... Oregon beat Washington in 12 straight games from 2004–2015, the largest winning streak in the rivalry. This streak correlated with Oregon's most successful era of football and Washington's least. The Ducks went 120–36 (.769) over these 12 seasons, with two national championship game appearances, four conference titles, two Rose Bowl victories, and a Heisman Trophy winner. Meanwhile, the Huskies went 62–88 (.413) including a winless 0–12 in 2008.

Conference Confusion: Have You Arrived at THIS?
What if .... It is in Oregon's best interest to shed the Pac and separate itself from OSU; and The state legislature blocks the move based upon being in the same educational system; and Oregon then withdraws from the state system and goes private? I think the idea of going private was tossed around a few years ago based upon less then 20% of the budget coming from the state coffers. Well, we have an alum, or alums, who could easily foundationally fund the difference.

5 Star Oregon Target Doesn't Care About usc & ucla Leaving the Pac
Five-Star ATH Matayo Uiagalelei talks recent Oregon visit, Pac-12 minus LA schools 247SPORTS.COM Bellflower (Calif.) St. John Bosco athlete Matayo Uiagalelei took his final June official visit last weekend to Oregon and said the Ducks made a big impression. Let's hope there are more recruits with this attitude.... “That won’t really impact my decision,” Uiagalelei said. “I honestly haven’t thought much about it. My goals are still the same, I want to try and go in to college, make an early impact and get to the League in 3-4 years. “For USC, it probably helps them to play against better competition. I’m sure Oregon will be fine and Ohio State is still Ohio State. Location was never a factor for me, I’ll go anywhere, I’m just looking for the best all around fit.”

Mr. FishDuck: Crazed Duck Fan, or Generous Ambassador of Oregon Football?
"but I’m not sure I want to go as far as call him “crazed” either." I will as that ship sailed looooooong ago. Happy Birthday to the other Sir Charles from the other Steven A.

Ohio State AD Lobbying for Notre Dame to Join Big 10/12/14+
Ohio State Athletic Director Has Message For Notre Dame WWW.MSN.COM After adding USC and UCLA from the Pac-12, the Big Ten Conference is hoping to add a prized school that's much closer to their home base: Notre Dame. One person who is a strong voice... Is this good news for the Ducks? P.S. So sue me for not using your copyrighted initials buckeyes.

Titanic times for the Pac, time to get on our own lifeboat. Waterfowl first, all else start swimming for shore.

The Conference Dominoes Start with Notre Dame...in a Few Days
Works for me. The Pac 8, 10, 12 as we knew it is now dead after 50+ years. Long live the new KINGdom as long as we are part of it.

Local Kid Chooses Ducks
Oregon lands three-star in-state EDGE rusher Teitum Tuioti 247SPORTS.COM A busy week for Oregon football continues as Dan Lanning and company have landed the verbal commitment of three-star EDGE rusher Teitum Tuioti on Saturday afternoon. Well, that was easy, as long as dad remains the DL coach.

George Kliavkoff--Completely Blindsided?
Blindsided, yes. But disagree on unacceptable. It was not his fault that somehow this was kept a secret. But, I don't think we have seen the end result yet. This may have been the canary in the coal mine and now the puppet masters (media revenue) have the blood in the water they want. Oregon is a prize fish and maybe we are a free agent now. If so, thank the Bruins and Trojans.

Ouch! Ouch! Jon Wilner Throws Shade on Cristobal
Mari better look over his shoulder, Ruiz is going to want a good ROI (return on investment) both in Cristbal and the players he pays. Remember Maimi got rid of their last coach without an AD in place

I'm assuming there will be a hefty endowment that will last for decades, not only for sports but for academics also. See Phil and Penny Knight Campus for Accelerating Scientific Impact.

Where Are the Ducks In Study of Largest Fan Bases?
I'm not surprised. I think it started with the uniforms and Chip added gasoline to the fire. Wherever I have traveled for the last 20 years when I wear Duck gear, the local kids usually say Oregon is their favorite, or second favorite to the local team.

Is Washington Becoming the Next 'Cal' in the Conference?
I don't see it. The momentum is already lost for them with the new staff. I see them as slightly better than Oregon State in regard to coaching and recruiting. Even the "great" Chris Peterson was not all that good. He beat us twice while favored 3 times. No "big bowl" wins. Add in an AD who doesn't know how/want to invest in sports. Time to lick our chops while they are licking what dogs lick (as always)!

Are You Feeling it? The Buzz, the Vibe for Oregon on the Recruiting Trail?
Because he didn't have to compete against an Oregon in the Big 11 plus 9 (Gotta love tMath in the 12 and 10)
