College Football 2024 – What Comes Around Goes Around?
"The Dow Jones Industrial companies do not let the tail of the Fortune 500 companies wag their tail." Good comparison as DJ changes its membership based upon "current" market factors. Hence the Pac 12/2 should be the new Exxon Mobil which was kicked out in 2020.

Chip Kelly Leaving UCLA For OC Job At Ohio State!
I wonder how many coaches will turn down this job before they find someone. 1) Live in LA 2) Bad roster 3) Live in LA 4) Joining the BIG 5) Live in LA 6) Lack of institutional support and NIL 7) And did I mention, live in LA

Chip Kelly Leaving UCLA For OC Job At Ohio State!
Works for me. I remember when he was returning to the college game and most people were hoping that he would not return to the Pac 12 and take the Florida (?) job instead. Well, that worked out pretty well for us, so I'm hoping Kelly 3.0 is the same as 2.0.

Oregon Outrecruiting USC....Now The Norm🤣
Wow, talk about word garbage. At least the first few minutes as I will never get that time back. As for the last few minutes, I can't comment since I have those minutes still in my life span.

B1G Saturday Tradition - 'Oregon in 2024 Will Have the B1G's Best Roster' and Other B1G Takes from Matt Hayes
From a Buckeye site . . . "When factoring in transfers, the Buckeyes have the No. 3 recruiting class in the country and the second-highest average player ranking behind only Georgia. Oregon is the only other Big Ten team (yep, that’s going to take some getting used to) in the top 10 at No. 4. Penn State is No. 14, Michigan is No. 18, and USC is No. 20. Nebraska and Wisconsin come in at Nos. 23 and 24 respectively. Love that, plus compare our DLine haul to theirs: Assuming that Kirks does sign with OSU today, he will be the 21st scholarship player in OSU’s class and the ninth in the top 200 of 247’s Composite Rankings. He would join five-star Eddrick Houston and three-star Eric Mensah as the only defensive lineman in the class (Houston is an EDGE rusher, while Mensah and Kirks will play inside), but given that Jack Sawyer, J.T. Tuimoloau, and Tyleik Williams all opted to return, the lack of defensive line reinforcements isn’t as big of an issue this cycle — but it absolutely will be in 2025.

The Pac-12 is Dead; Let Chaos Reign
Thanks for the article, David. I like the thought of the other conferences laughing at the Pac demise and now having to suffer the unintended consequences of their cannibalism. I think we all would love to see former Pac 12 teams claim the B1G and Big 12 this fall.

5* Quack! Gatlin Bair's A Duck!
'24, which I don't think makes sence since he will not be on scholarship until '26. And moves the 24 class to #3 in the 24/7 rankings.

Senior Bowl Thread
This is the minor bowl games 2.0 with all the opt-outs. I guess you use the system to show off in practice and then sit if you think you did enough. Maybe the sponsors should offer $ per play you are on the field.

Expanded Playoffs Down to 11 Teams, or So Says Deion
Great beginning "Deion Sanders’ mouth is already writing checks his team can’t cash" and then ending to article "So buckle up and get ready for another season in which Colorado will be the biggest story in college football that everyone will forget about a few weeks later." Six months from the season and Deion Sanders’ mouth is already writing checks his team can’t cash DEADSPIN.COM Colorado was pathetic after September, but Coach Prime is already making College Football Playoff predictions

How Much Interest Do You Have in Other Duck Sports?
Yes, football is KING. I usually DVR the games and start watching when I think I can get to the end without watching in real time. I DVR BBall also but find myself the last couple of years peaking at the live score on ESPN. If it is a win or a closely contested game, I will then watch it. If we are blown out . . . life is too short for those games after 50+ years of watching that sort of thing. I follow track as much as possible as I am from the Prefontaine years. GoDucks.com is my source for the "other" sports.
