Nostrduckist here, next round of expansion will see the also rans of the SEC, I'm looking at you OU & UT, fulfill Champagne Larry's dream of joining the Pac. Plus, Larry taking credit. You heard it here first!

I think we already saw something like this recently with a BIG 10 player (need a little help from my forum friends for his name) who was hurt, missed a few games and could have come back for a game or two but decided to end his college career. Also, we saw a QB from a Texas school (more help please) who decided to redshirt after the first few games went into the tank. Said he would definitely come back and then entered the transfer portal after the season. So, your point seems to be a natural progression.

Charles, Charles, Charles, coming to Oregon is NEVER a step down.

Darren, I agree on all your points and that the Alliance was a much better option to expansion. I will be interesting to see how long Vandy and any other bottom SEC feeders stay where they have ZERO chance to ever be anything but cannon fodder in football. Plus, OU and Texas will be middle tier at best for a while. I wonder if their buyout from the SEC will be when they realize the colossal mistake they made going from being a big fish in a small pool to a small fish in a big one. And when they never sniff a conference CShip and jettison their coaches, they will never attract quality coaches since they will be doomed to fail from the beginning.

Good warning for all future Miami QB recruits.

Let's not forget Hopkins in BBall, won two coach of the year awards with Romar's recruits, and then turned into a Duck's best friend.

I'm going to disagree on this one. I think he has done a good job all around. As you know, there are a lot of sports that he is in charge of and although football is the cash cow, he seems to have hit home runs in some of his other hires.

Let's hope he is. In regard to coaching commitments, eventually very few leave on their own terms.

Longest 9 months of our lives coming up.

Who are they going to get, Lanning sewed up all the good assistants.

Yeah, but what is he licking?

P.S. Happy New Year, peace out.

I'd say they did better than the Chumps er Champs from the Pac 12, Big 10, ACC, or and let's now throw in Big 10.

Good news for whomever is behind Alex. Oregon Ducks offensive lineman Ryan Walk returning in 2022 - oregonlive.com

After he leaves, Oregon needs to announce a team award named after both Travis and Troy Dye that has to do with leaving it all out on the field.

I'm not on board with that. Next thing they'll want poles in the locker room.

AMEN, ONWARD AND UPWARD!

Plus, both teams get a win. But the bigger question remains . . . . Do they then have to kiss their sister? "NC State did get a trophy for the bowl game and the contest will count as a win in the school’s record books, at least." College Football Head Coach Blasts NCAA, ‘No Clue At All’ (msn.com)

51 - 49 Ducks in OT, not sure how many. 2 TOs 1 sack 165 yds Happy New Year to all and thank you in advance for hoping I get my second win of the year.

As a former attorney, I advise you to round up and retire earlier than me!

Ouch, gonna need therapy to remove that image.

Remember when everyone wanted him to take the Florida gig so he wouldn't be back in the Pac 12 as an opponent. That actually worked out pretty well.

I agree with the above that even a 5 figure NIL for the bowl game would not get KT or any other potential top pick out of bed. Oh, and that rabbit hole, we have been looking up ever since the BCS was formed. Emmert took us so deep that we can't even see daylight above.

Give him jiggle, his contact info is above in Log Haulin's post.

I'd give him the first Qtr period as a reward for his efforts this year. Then bring in the future regardless.
