Vegas Whiteout! Oh, how I wish I still lived in Vegas!

Never underestimate the CFP Committee’s SEC bias and their disdain for the PAC12, just saying!

The dude has spent a decade in Corvallis so it’s unlikely he’ll bolt quickly, smart decision!

If that were to happen and he came to UO, kiss Ty goodbye! I think it’s ridiculous that schools can go out and offer a player on a team $$$. Something has to change there.

You heard it here first! Like the CFP Committee always does, they will $crew the PAC12. If the following happens, the PAC12 will be locked out: 1. UO beats U-DUB 2. Bama narrowly beats UGA 3. FSU wins 4. Michigan wins Seeding: 1. Michigan 2. Bama 3. FSU 4.UGA or The OSU if Bama blows UGA out! It will be a predictable and fitting end of the four team playoff!

I’ll undercut you Ktmguy2018, I’ll take $300K and I’ll pay my way to each game. I could use a $150K a year raise. I’ve got 54 years of shoe tying experience, that has to count for something.

Sad there are clowns out there that would hack a site dedicated to one topic UO sports. It’s not like they’re going to make money pushing their products like social media sites.

I’m seeing people get excited about Tyler Van Dyke as a transfer. I have mixed feelings but plenty of hope in TT. Does anybody see TT being able to run the offense at maybe 80% the efficiency of Bo? I’d take 80% of Bo any day because he’s insanely good. THOUGHTS! If not Ty, who?

Why go to TAM? They haven’t been consistently good since RC Slocum. He’s got things rolling at Oregon and could be positioned to be a CFP contender York years, plus massive buyout.

Guy’s like the typical Bama fan. I’ll bet he has no physical ties to SC. Whining about Phil Knight putting Oregon on the map. The days of OJ and Marcus Allen dominating under-manned teams across the conference are long gone and he can’t handle reality! He just needs to drink heavily to sooth his anger.

I’d be shocked if the trees score a TD before SC puts up 35

The conference formerly known as the Pac12 is 17-0, but will have one loss after tonight when the Trees chop down Spoiled Children!

After seeing the ASU outcome, squeaking out a W against the Fighting Sage Brush from Cedar City, I’m betting CU and Stanford are considerably better than ASU.

No he doesn’t. Towson and Howard, but he’s played Our Lady Of Good Counsel, which I the #22 rank school this year and and will play hem in two weeks. OLGC is loaded with Power 5 commits on both sides of the ball. Keep in mind Van Buren has the top talent in MD and some other parts the DMV on his offense. Also St. Francis has double reclasses on that team because of poor grades. Watch the OLGC game in two weeks, it’ll be streamed.

Just finished watching the St Francis game and I have to say from what I saw, Michael Van Buren is prone to making very poor decisions throwing the ball. For all of the hype he’s getting, I expected much more. He’s a fairly little guy too. I may b biased, but the starting QB on my son’s team Mt St Joseph, Baltimore is significantly better. Look up Winston Watkins, a 6’6” QB at MSJ. If he had a line of 300 lb’ers he’d pick every defense apart. MSJ doesn’t have a kid on the line above 275-280 and only one.

I think we will see something similar to when the NCAA broke into 3 divisions in 1971, only, the have's will brake away from the NCAA all together and the have not's will merge with the FCS at least in football. What is crazy is basketball has 300+ D1 schools, e.g. Mt. St. Mary's, Gonzaga, etc. which don't even field a football team.

He’s worried about going to Morgantown because of how loud it is! I’ve been to a TCU game there and it was by far the loudest place I’ve seen a game! Yes, louder than Autzen and you play there in October with the wind whipping and you freeze your @$$ off. ASU is used to 80 degrees.

New Mexico plays high school football, they don’t count. They are at Rio Rancho High’s level. Tried to keep it geographic.

If the following teams were together, it would make a pretty good conference in many sports, but it could calm Stanford down with the addition of Tulane, SMU & Rice, all of which have academic street cred! Tulane & SMU are now playing good football and Rice has always had a good baseball program, even if having Rice in a Bowl is rare. There would be ~35M potential TV's. Modifications could remove Wyoming or Air Force in favor of San Jose State. Add North Dakota State, but with this reach, the market value has to exceed the current MWC $4M, but less than the Pac-12. It seems like somewhere between $15-20M is possible and maybe even $25 with an added streaming add-on. The problem is Stanford and Cal need to get over themselves. Hopefully, something like this in some way shape or form can happen for OSU & WSU to keep them viable. School Metro/State Population OSU 2.2M Portland WSU 460K Spokane CAL 3.3M STANFORD 3.3M Boise State 1.9M State Utah State 1.2M Nevada 530K UNLV 2.9M Fresno State 800K SDSU 3.3M Wyoming 500K State Colorado State 2.9M SMU 6.5M UT San Antonio 2.5M Air Force 2.9M New Mexico 1.0M Rice 6.7M Tulane 1.0M

For anybody that doesn't or hasn't lived in Maryland, the flag is on everything. As I write this, I am wearing a MD shirt with a blue crab on the back painted with the MD Flag. People that have dogs, put dog stickers with the flag on it, people that have horses do the same and 1/2 the state has a blue crab with the flag on their car bumper. It wasn't a flash of brilliance for Kevin Plank, a Bethesda kid, to use the MD Flag on UMD's uniforms once the uniform color revolution was started by Oregon.

If the reports that the university presidents were pushing for $50 Mil per year are to be believed, and their historical actions lends to it being true, clearly the collapse sits solely on the university presidents. Surely, the AD's knew $50 Mil was a pipedream and they had to be telling them that number was a moonshot! I agree with WIlner, we need a 30 for 30 on it. Maybe the university presidents should stick to what they know academics and leave the business of sports to the professionals in the Athletic Department, after Sport Management is one of the hottest degrees in college now! Why? Because sports is big money, which is something an academic clearly isn't trained to handle. I am sure the presidents listen to the accountants when they determine the cost per credit hour, they should have listened to the AD's and likely GK that they weren't going to get more than $35-40 Mil.

Sounds a lot like fans that are worried they will get their lunch handed to them.

Don't care if they aren't in the B1G! There can be a western pod with Nebraska & Iowa.

Larry Scott is only 1/2 of the equation! The other 1/2 is the university presidents! They hold the power, they could have told Larry you will contract with ESPN, Fox or whomever, but they didn't. This should be a lesson that Ph.D's that burry their noses in books on theory most of their lives are clueless on how the real world works!

I tell my kids all the time, you snap your fingers and you've been out of college for 30 years, so appreciate your youth and realize that it goes quickly.
