Texas vs. Clemson GameDay Thread!
DrJacksPlaidPants replied to Charles Fischer's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Welp! Another blowout. Even the D2 national championship game is 49-14. Blowouts galore. -
UGA also canceled a home and home with Oregon for the 2015-2016 seasons due to length of travel. Don’t believe the “mutually agreed upon” BS. UGA’s AD is quoted as saying the travel was too much and Oregon doesn’t have a history of avoiding big games. The joke is on them, though. They would’ve killed us in 2016. Georgia, Oregon cancel 2015-16 football series SICEMDAWGS.COM The Georgia Bulldogs and the Oregon Ducks have canceled their 2015 and 2016 home-and-home football series.

SMU vs. Penn State GameDay Discussion
DrJacksPlaidPants replied to 30Duck's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Well, good thing the D2 national championship is on The Deuce. I like football but not when it’s this bad. -
Tonight’s OSU/Tenn game will be a good litmus test on the strength of the conference. If OSU wins handily then that changes the narrative. All of the top teams from both conferences have great defenses, but the SEC has pretty erratic QB play. Notre Dame is an excellent football team. They should beat UGA in the Sugar Bowl. Their defense will overwhelm Stockton, but I think the Dawgs defense can do the same against Leonard. It should be a good one.

His 2nd interception was actually his best throw.
-
He also missed a wide open receiver down near the goal line. His pass was way under thrown. He cannot throw on the run.

It looks like he has had a change of heart. He is asking to be released from his financial aid documents with Oregon and sign with Florida. 5-Star WR Dallas Wilson Seeks Release from Oregon, Eyes Florida Gators Commitment WWW.SI.COM One of the top wide receivers in the Class of 2025, 5-star recruit Dallas Wilson, has requested to be released from his financial affidavit with Oregon, accordi

My favorite quote from the article: ”However, the narrative has taken an unexpected turn, with Sanders and his team claiming the ultimate victory—Travis Hunter winning the 2024 Heisman Trophy, a silent response to Lanning’s infamous “playing for clicks” comment.“ Apparently, an individual award is the “ultimate” victory in Boulder. Deion Sanders shows Dan Lanning it's not 'clicks' — Colorado plays for Heisman wins WWW.SI.COM The tension between Deion Sanders and Dan Lanning reached a unique climax as the two coaches found themselves in the same room for the first time since Oregon’s

I think the NCAA can put a cap on revenue sharing dollars, but I don’t think they can cap the amount of money a player can make from their NIL. That would be like the NBA capping LeBron’s endorsement money.

From what I understand, Oregon's NIL collective is more than just dropping bags of money on prospective players. These prospects are sold the opportunity to leverage Oregon and NIke's branding, marketing and creative teams to maximize their NIL opportunities. They have a lot of credibility when it comes to selling these guys on what they can offer. It doesn't hurt when you can use examples like Michael, Tiger, Kobe and LeBron as proof of your success in developing personal brands. Another aspect is the prospects future with the company. If I know I'm going to get drafted, why wouldn't I transfer to Oregon and start the process of setting up a future endorsement? This could also be why you don't see a lot of Oregon's star players deciding to hit the portal (it's usually guys who will never get much playing time). It doesn't pay to burn that relationship with "The Swoosh". About — Division Street WWW.DIVISIONST.COM

Rocky Top is Taking Over the Horseshoe!
DrJacksPlaidPants replied to 30Duck's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
You gotta watch out for Vols fans. They have no problem taking out a second mortgage on their double-wides to afford to go to bowl games. They also ramp up corn liquor production for extra cash just in case they make it the national championship game. -
Rocky Top is Taking Over the Horseshoe!

This doesn't stem from Ohio State fan disinterest. The pre-sale code for Buckeye fans was leaked. As an aside, I will say that anybody with even the slightest cyber awareness training would know that this code word was not secure enough. From this article: "The get-in price as of Tuesday morning was as low as $142 on StubHub. The Ticketmaster presale code ‘OSUFB’ leaked online last week, when tickets were put on sale for Ohio State fans. The leak ended with Tennessee fans and ticket resellers getting a head start on the ticket market." A Leaked Presale Code Allowed “Rabid” Vols Fans to Purchase Tickets for Ohio State-Tennessee, Leaving Only Resale Tickets Available at Higher Prices WWW.ELEVENWARRIORS.COM A leaked presale code allowed “rabid” Volunteer fans to swoop up tickets for Ohio State's CFP matchup with Tennessee. Now, only resale tickets are available at higher prices. -
I think there are two reasons. the first is Oregon is very balanced. They have a 1000-yard rusher, a Moore Award finalist O-Line and a very efficient QB. The defense is the same. Look at the UW game. Ten sacks split between eight different players. They also have a CB who nobody wants to throw at. The Ducks play just isn't sexy enough for the stat-driven awards voters. The second reason is the perception that Uncle Phil is buying players. This is only OK if Ohio State (blue blood) or Ole Miss (SEC) does it. Oregon using the same rules as everyone else to win a national championship is about as acceptable as Elon Musk trying to become a member of Augusta National Golf club. In other words, their money is the wrong shade of green and the bills are too crisp. There comes a time when a person realizes they will never get invited to the party. So, they can either quit trying or kick the door down and liven the place up a little.

How to Improve the College Football Playoff
DrJacksPlaidPants replied to FishDuck Article's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
If they want to keep the regular season meaningful while also keeping the conference championship games, then make them part of the playoffs. The playoff teams would consist of the eight teams fighting for P4 conference championships. This year it would be Oregon, Penn State, UGA, Texas, ASU, ISU, Clemson and SMU. The four winners advance, and the top two ranked teams get a bye in the next round. Then, pick four wild-card teams. They would be the four highest ranked teams to not make their CCG. This year it would be Notre Dame, Tennessee, Ohio State and Indiana (Sorry Boise you didn't make the cut). These four teams play a wild card round on the same weekend as the CCG's. The two wild card winners then play the third and fourth seeded conference champions in the second round on December 21st (this keeps their games from interfering with the Army Navy game). For arguments sake, let's say the second round would be Notre Dame/Clemson and ASU/Ohio State. Then, the semi-finals would be played on New Year's Day. Let's say it would be Oregon/OSU and UGA/ Notre Dame. The winners would meet in the NCG two Mondays from the semi-final. They still have a 12-team playoff but the season length stays the same. There will always be somebody griping about being left out, but that's life. The NFL gives deference to conference champions, so it's not unprecedented. That is why the 2008 NFL playoffs included the 8-8 Chargers but left out the 11-5 Patriots and why the 7-9 Seahawks made the NFL playoffs in 2010. This argument that the playoff needs to include the 12 top teams in the nation is a bunch of BS. -
This is very telling. The starting QB transferred to Duke, so there is an opening. He may have been told the job is going to somebody else.
