It will never be the "Pit"
But MKA is the Palace of the Pac-12
That's sooooooooooooo true, but it can be the Pit with lipstick when it is rocking.
I remember being at the Pit when Cal came in a ranked team in 1969 and lost. That was the first time the scoreboard shook and the next day they brought in earthquake inspectors to check the place out.

I should have noted that in addition to the OH ST game bumping up OR's #s the LSU game did the same for UCLA.
Query: You are the managing partner in a 12 person law firm. Should Oregon receive the same piece of the pie as partners who are bringing no where close to what Oregon is bringing to the bottom line?
Do partners that budget and spend far less money than Oregon in an attempt to deliver a successful product deserve the same cut as Oregon?
If your answer is 'Yes,' to these questions, why would Oregon want to remain in this partnership?
Many of Oregon's 'partners' want to be the Ivy league of the West. Somehow, they expect to compete with the B1G and the SEC teams in football with the same budgets as many G5 programs. Or, they simply do not care at all about being competitive? Or they care but they do not, even when receiving the same share as Oregon, have the money necessary to compete.
The Alliance will not 'fix this.'
I am going to disagree with the analogy. Oregon shares the Pac 12 revenue, however it has it's side job with its own brand that does not share that revenue; jersey sales, ticket sales, donations, etc. Plus, those "others" with their lagging production allows Oregon to pad their record and remain on top.
P.S. I survived a law firm where they had a Big 12 type partnership = unequal partners (talking Texas here), I got out 1 year prior to being offered one of those "prestigious labels"/partner. I knew I made the right decision when years later I represented the top partner in his bankruptcy!

Over 4 million people have watched Arizona play football? 3 million of them may never watch another game.
I didn't realize the players had that many relatives.

Personally, I don't want a playoff wherein any team has a bye. Therefore, either 8 or 16 teams. I prefer 8, otherwise I think they will have to shorten the season to accommodate the extra round.
In regard to all sites at bowl games, if it is an 8 team playoff, fine. 12 or 16 teams, I think you are asking too much travel for fans. Non participant team stadiums/bowl sites will be only partially filled for the first round of the playoff, just like the lower tiered bowls are now.

Consistency is the most saught after quality in sports ... It is also the most difficult to achieve.
If Pittman and Williams are getting consistent then that only means good things for Oregon's future.
That consistency is also why Brown is still the starter even though everyone, including the coaches, knows that Thompson or Butterfield have way higher ceilings. Granted as fans we have been frustrated with just how consistently poorly Brown as played as well.
Geez, if they don't have higher ceilings, clear the QB room and start over!

I saw this on Saturday when they showed the replay multiple times. The runners forward momentum had been stopped and he was taken backwards from the LOS. The whistle should have blown the play dead and Kansas given possession. Just my two cents.
Well, I guess the Pac 12 refs have something in common with the Big 12 refs.

I heard about this and then saw it on some highlights. What great instincts. It was very close to the RB having his forward progress stopped. And, it was 4th down. Other than Caleb stealing the ball, this looks a lot like some 4th down plays we run. Plus, check out when this occurred. If the play doesn't work, Kansas gets the ball, good field position and a chance to Stanfordize OU.

This shows a couple of things: 1) It is based upon stats; 2) surveys show 83% of all stats are meaningless.

I bet you never saw this coming....
Post on Facebook by #GoDucksAnthony Brown has been selected to the Davey O’Brien QB Class of 2021, making him eligible to be voted as a semifinalist. -

Nope, as I politely disagree with my esteemed Moderator colleagues. The real test is the final three of WSU, Utah and Oregon State, IMHO.
I'm not saying which games are more important, I am saying we need consistency against weaker teams and we have that opportunity the next tow games.

"BTW - YTD 1L and #7 Oregon's SOS and SOR are both far better than #5 1L Ohio State. But every game counts, right?"
I think Oregon comes out better in the Head to Head category also.

Well, according to USA today, they sit at #80 now !!! Looking forward to triple digits in two weeks.

The next two weeks will tell us more about this team than the last 7 games ... home vs very weak team; on the road vs rival who can make their season with an upset.

According to his Oregonian article, he is a very solid pledge. Hopefully, the product on the field will keep him in the flock and help add others. Of the main suitors, Texas, A&M & LSU, LSU is a dumpster fire without a head coach, Texas seems to be stuck in the mud with only A&M looking like a team on the rise. Except they have the 2 Ls, more to come and barely beat at putrid Colorado team.

The coaches need to game plan the opposition, both offense and defense, based upon game film, not go in with a mind set for percentages.
I think we all agree, AB isn't a deep threat. But what if he starts throwing 50/50 balls to our taller receivers and they deliver. Do we keep that in the games? Might as well since you do want the appearance that you will/can go deep.
Unfortunately, the coming game against Colorado could be a pyrite game.
With a 4 score spread, this needs to be accomplished midway through the 3rd quarter. However, that could cause an interesting situation, Ty Thompson in the game and looking like a 5* QB. Then, if AB struggles in the future, the chants may return.
The Ducks need to make sure they play Ohio St each week and not the competition.

It's Forrest Gump's box of chocolates team for sure.
"Entertaining" ... depends upon your definition as there are plenty of other adjectives to describe what we witness each game.
If Joey's '01 team were the cardiac kids, this Duck team might be the "charge the paddles to 200 team".

He also had great podcasts last week with Pac-12 Commissioner George Kliavkoff, divisions will be done away with and 8 game conference schedule as soon as possible with using the Alliance to fill in games; and Aaron Fentress, Ty Thompson is not yet ready for the big time.

Played up to competition this week.
Next week we will see if they canNOT play down to CO.

Turning a Corner with Anthony Brown?
in Our Beloved Ducks
Posted
I'm going with AB all day on this one. Of course, he has more to use and this is a better D than Prukop had.
