Anybody know if we have any injuries that will keep any members of the team out of this weeks game?

Charles I totally agree with your analysis. This years OL is about as good as it gets, and the coaching has been superb, it makes one think that this is going to be an every year issue, and it sure will help us recruit outstanding RB's. Yes Lanning has made a few errors, but boy has he put together a coaching staff.

Charles, I have to agree with a lot of what you say, however everyone has a learning cycle and obviously Lanning is still learning. My prediction: The Ducks will win out and beat the Huskies in Vegas for the conference championship and end up in the National Championship playoffs.

My Northwestern friend told me there is a movement on to get rid of Schill, big big fireback by the alums. Oregon is so lucky to have gotten rid of that jerk. He was one of the very worst presidents the Ducks ever had.

I have a friend that is on the board of Northwestern, he say that Schiff could end up getting canned. What a tragedy, thank Good Gosh he's gone from Eugene.

I agree that the best situation for the Ducks is to stay right were we are. SC is going to regret greatly the move to the Big 10, they have the worst fans in the West, if they lose two games you can shoot a cannon off in the coliseum and not hit anybody, which if you look at the last 10 years in the big 10 the future doesn't look good for SC and Good Gosh help UCLA.

Is this subject ever going to stop? Oregon is going to stay right where it is at least for the foreseeable future. If the prediction that due to NIL the future is super conferences then the Ducks will obviously be part of one of those teams. It's predicted by some so called experts that this will occur around the 2030 time period, we shall see. For what it's worth in my opinion Oregon is much better off in the Pac than going to the Big 10 which is dominated by Ohio State and to a lesser extent Michigan and Penn State. USC alums (who are notorious poor sports) are going to be very very unhappy campers when they finally realize that the Trojans are for the most part also rans in the Big 10. Oregon, with major bowl money which I think is going to be somewhat regular will be close in income, and along with Washington will dominate the Pac.

This Dennis Dodd is a sack of you know what. Hardly ever does he write a decent truthful article. If the conference were to split up if would happen after a new media contract has been proposed and is considered unsatisfactory.

A lady who is caring for a friend of mine's wife supposedly has committed to Texas A&M. She is leaving her job because her son is supposedly committed and A&M is getting jobs for she and her husband down there, and they are going to pay their son $100,000 for committing to A&M. He is from San Diego and attended Lincoln High. He is a friend of the 2 Jalill that went to Oregon one looks good for next year and the other has transferred to San Diego St. He supposedly was going to visit the Ducks at the end of June. I can find no commitment on the A&M site, nor any commitment from a DB from California on the A&M site. Can't find any info. on the Ducks bringing him in for a visit. I've heard of some crummy deals that A&M has pulled in the past. I don't know his name, will find out on Wednesday, but regardless there is no info that I can find that would fit this kid.

Jon, I think you are right on when you discuss 3 super conferences, I know that there is a lot of talk regarding just two, but you may be correct. I don't think you're correct about Notre Dame. I went to the only high school the Holy Cross Order had in the country. Was supposed to go to ND, but always wanted to be a Duck. I know a lot of the priests at ND, have a lot of family as well as friends who are ND alums and some significant donors. Joining a conference for football would be something that is repulsive to most ND alums, I just don't see it. Also I don't see WSU and OSU surviving as well as schools like Wake Forest and Pitt. I hope you are correct, because I don't think that schools that are not in a super conference will be able to financially afford to field football teams. The super conferences, 2, or 3 will suck up all the TV monies.

This guy Klatt is an idiot in my opinion. It is not the Golden age of collegiate football. NIL and the portal policies are destroying college sports. if congress can legal put controls in it will save collegiate sports as we know them, otherwise in the not to distant future collegiate football will shrink down to around 40 teams. Who will be damaged the most with almost 100 teams dropping football because of the loss of TV income and much more, your going to see around 8500 scholarships disappear and most of those losing out will be minorities.

She's come along like gang busters in the latter part of this season, THANK Good Gosh!

One of my very good friends who died a few years ago, has a daughter who took a run at buying the Guard, has gone into the newspaper business with a group, would not be a bit surprised if they end up with the Guard and maybe Salem to. They are doing very well with the papers they have acquired recently.

Will this happen, probably sometime in the future 8 to 10 years from now when college football is down to 2 super conferences. Will the Pac 12 expand yes by at least 2 teams to begin with. Is Oregon staying put bad for the program, somewhat, but we have a donor who is bound and determined that we are going to win a national championship in football and will do what it takes to make that happen. We will see some creative things happen over the next few years, some that have not even been mentioned yet. I can see a possible major relationship with the ACC on the horizon (who has a similar problem) The NIL issue as well as the transfer problem hopefully will be addressed, but if there is not a satisfactory answer to these issues then only the programs with solid financial backing will exist. You can talk all you want about Big10's TV money, but it's the NIL money in the long run. For the future the Ducks will be fine, and we will have to get used to a conference that will be dominated by Oregon, Washington and Utah.
