The Pac 8 was why I went to Oregon. . . I wanted to go to a Pac 8 school. This was 1968. Stanford wouldn't return my calls. Cal was a too radical. USC and UCLA were in "LA", 'nough said. My sister was at ewe dub, the state wasn't big enough for the two of us. That left Oregon St and Oregon. As the Knight Templar said to Indiana Jones when he chose the wooden chalice "you chose wisely". So, I too am very sad to see it go. But, onward and upward. GO DUCKS!

FIRST OFF, remember to keep your comments civil and within Forum Rules! Brenda Tracy, the victim of sexual assault/violence at Oregon St in 1998, is the root of the reason Michigan State's coach is fired. And now, Oregon St loses its best coach in years to the dumpster fire that is Michigan St. I'm not going to call if karma or anything else as Brenda should not have had to suffer either indignity. I'm just extremely pleased that she has been able to do so much good from such EVIL.

Would you rather have beaten ewe dub October 14 or not? I'm fine with the loss (fine being a relative term). That sets up us CRUSHING their season next Friday. Otherwise, the opposite would be true and I don't think my life expectancy could survive a loss to "them" after being 12-0 going into that game. I am quite confident WHEN we win, we're in. A one loss Power 5 Champ whose only loss (3 points on the road with questionable coaching decisions and much better stats) was to No. 3 (before we crush them) trumps any other 1 loss league champ except 'Bama. We're looking BEHIND us at you Texas. This committee is ranking teams a lot different than in prior years. Prior years we would not be above 'Bama at this time. I think it has been our dominance/eye test, since the loss. If 'Bama beats Georgia, a 1 loss SEC Champ is in and Georgia will/should be out as a 1 loss non-league champion (see ohio st below). A one loss ohio state is toast right now (behind us and no chance for a league CShip). They can cry all they want about their only loss was to the No. 2 team, but they don't have that league CShip. Georgia would have to be treated the same. If FSU wins, Texas as a 1 loss BIG 12 champ would be 5th. Interesting, another OSU has a chance to help us in their CShip game. So, here is my final 4 after next weekend. . . 1. Georgia 2. Michigan 3. Oregon 4. FSU/Texas Rooting for Louisville, Ok St., Georgia and Iowa. GO DUCKS

And that is exactly why you are not in charge of a coaching search, you make too much damn sense.

It's a decent start to a guy's coaching career. Let's hope he can build on this, otherwise soon it will be time to move on! #bringbackChip/Willie/Mari

His is the ultimate team player. He came in with a lot of hype but wasn't as good as those around him. Stuck it out, supports his teammates, doesn't complain, and does his best when given an opportunity.

Hats/Helmets off to this great student athlete. Helping the "invisible athlete" will be a lasting legacy. Stephens Making His Mark On And Off The Field At Oregon - University of Oregon Athletics GODUCKS.COM Senior defensive back Steve Stephens IV will play for the final time in Autzen Stadium on Friday, and will leave a legacy off the field as well after completing the final project toward his master's degree.

Good article Darren, as usual. Keep Bo reigned in until needed. Unleash him in playoffs like Herbert in Rose Bowl.

All the above. The article writers, photographers and editors. And most of all, I'm not at EastBayDuckDad's house. (just kidding, I love a good train wreck).

IMHO I think: Penix is the best passer. Williams is the best Mahomes impersonator. Daniels has the best combined stats due to the lack of running game. And Nix is the best all round QB. Geaux Ducks

Utah's second string is 7-4.

Might be Lanning himself. Just like he states Oregon opponent is Oregon, Lanning's kryptonite in both ewe dub losses was questionable decisions he made as much as anything else. I'm hoping he's learning his lessons. DeBoer has 120 games as a HC behind him.

Not sure where. But he did an interview with Canzano and was honest that his agents job, for which he is well compensated, is to find the right opportunity for Jonathan. Hopefully for Beavs this is leverage for a raise and not a moving van.

Don't they all?

AGREED. Brain transplants haven't been perfected yet. Plus, he'd have to leave his manicurist home.

Agreed. Also, I do not think Harbaugh on the sidelines or not makes much of a difference. Same for any HC since the coordinators make most of the calls during a game. Heck, hate to say it but maybe we beat the ewe dub with Lanning elsewhere.

Preferably t(he other)OSU to beat Michigan as I think the committee would love to punish them for their sign stealing. But the room better be swept before voting to make sure Michigan hasn't installed cameras.

If Oregon wins out, hopefully in dominating fashion, they SHOULD be in. So far, the committee likes the domination. Depending on where Utah where drops, we may not have a top 25 win. Of course, that is due to the cannibalization of the DEEPEST conference. Texas keeps 'Bama at bay due to the H to H. The committee has not been given any reason for Texas to jump us. A win over OSU gives us a top 25 W. Again, Texas can't jump us. Win Pac 12 and we are a one loss power 5 Champ same as Texas if they win out. Again, no reason for them to jump us. I'm hoping this committee has SEC burnout so that if 'Bama beats Georgia, Georgia goes to 5+. Wait till tonight when FSU fans go crazy after ewe dub jumps them. They will scream that you can't do that just cuz they lost their QB. Of course, Boo will put that down with the strength of schedule argument.

I say take the money and see how it goes. I doubt Utah can match the sc checkbook. No telling when Whitt is going to call it quits. The guy might want a challenge.

Heck the Pac (1)2 network might not want them.

AGREED, regardless who is in the portal. Caleb Williams anyone? With our D, WOW.

Perhaps I missed it, have the Pac 2 come out and stated that with control, they plan on keeping the entire 400 Mil? If so, then they will be tied up in Court until the next media deal. Therefore, I think there will be a settlement. And the definition of a settlement/compromise is an agreement in which both sides are unhappy.

Non equal revenue share is the reason Texas didn't join the help make the Pac 16 during Larry's honeymoon. And had that been allowed then, we may have had 16 different shares and survived.

Going out on a limb here, if he keeps throwing more TDs than incompletions, he wins.
