Desert Duck

It's appears that Timothy Leary not only influenced the Beatles and Sgt. Pepper, but Maryland helmets as well.

I'd have to say that I'm still rather amazed that 12 university presidents, and their apparent sycophants, never noticed that the former PAC-12 Emperor/Commissioner, Larry Scott, wandered around the conference for more than a decade without wearing any clothes. And, from what I can tell so far, they replace one naked guy and immediately followed up with another. We like to think that those in positions of leadership know more than we do. Sadly, rarely is that true. These university 'leaders' stood by while a Lahina type wildfire was rapidly bearing down on us, and they were offered 30 million gallons of water, and yet they told the fire department to go pound sand. Given the situation, our Duck's flight out to the B1G took off just as the flames were were nipping at our tails. We were damn fortunate.

I don't know, Charles... The Robert C. Haugh Complex is an awfully sweet looking community college facility.

Beaver fans: "Ed who?"

Tulane 46 SUC 45 All while Tulane scored 16 points in the final 4 minutes... just to rip SUCs heart's out. I hope it's not too little of me to still be enjoying the afterglow of that game.

7/21/23 - George Kliavkoff - Pac-12 Media Day in Las Vegas regarding the Big 12 & B1G trying to poach PAC-12 teams: "It's not a concern. Our schools are committed to each other and the Pac-12." I can now officially state, for the record, that his comment did not age very well.

I'm laughing, but I'm also not quite sure if I should be crying too.

That's just cold. Stone cold 😉. LOL

Absolutely. Follow the 'Bama model.

"It was spectacularly inept conference leadership that left the Ducks with little choice..." Oram did get that part right.

Last week, George Kliavkoff said he wasn't worried about the Big 12 trying to poach any of the PAC-12 teams. "It's not a concern," he said last week at Pac-12 media day in Las Vegas, addressing the topic publicly for the first time this year. "Our schools are committed to each other and the Pac-12." I'm not 100% certain, but that might not have aged very well.

The former Pac-12 Emperor, Larry Scott, went around without clothes for basically more than a decade. Sadly, the conference powers-that-be pretended otherwise. Hopefully, the University of Oregon can now pull off a walk-off home run in the bottom of the 9th.

Pretty much says it all.

It's terribly sad to see the continued dismantling of Pacific Athletic Conference. However, in regards to Colorado, congratulations to the Buffaloes for making what appears to be a good move for their school.

It's now extremely close to midnight. It's time to make the move. Go Ducks!

Sorry, but Oregon State declaring that they will not entertain invitations that don't exist is kind of priceless. As the writer in the article says: "Declaring they’re not going to look elsewhere would be like the guy at the local bar declaring he’s not dating multiple supermodels." However, I do wish the Beavers good luck. And for that matter, I think that we're going to need some luck as well. Oregon State Declares Loyalty To The PAC-12 Amid Chaos – OutKick WWW.OUTKICK.COM Oregon State wants the world to know it won't chase invites that almost certainly don't exist. Will the Beavers leave the PAC-12?

I'd say it either AI, or perhaps a politician out of DC.

I'm not sure if the Babylon Bee could have come up with something as funny and ridiculous as this. "... in violation of equity focused policies.” Wow. That's amazing. But it would sure be fun to watch them enforce this.

What I remember about Brooks while at Oregon is that he was a very good player, and arguably, an even better flopper. This was one for the ages:

I would like to offer the following piece of advice to guys on the eve of getting drafted into the NFL draft: It might be best for your future contract to not get drunk in public and go on a little rampage. But that's just my $0.02

"Charles, it's no longer 'the Ukraine'." Well... Charles is still kinda right here. "The Ukraine" refers to a geographic region that extends beyond the nation borders of "Ukraine." So, perhaps Charles was wanting to be more inclusive and thinking beyond just the confining geographic borders of Ukraine. Admittedly, however, I am spit-wadding here 😉

"Chargers QB Justin Herbert Has Shoulder Surgery" With the way the Chargers allowed Justin to get utterly trashed this season by the defense, I'd suggest that if he's going to stay with the Chargers, Justin get most of that as $500 MM as guaranteed money. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/35552735/chargers-qb-justin-herbert-surgery-repair-torn-labrum

Bill was the greatest of ambassadors for the City of Portland and the Blazers. And for some reason, when I think of him, he reminds me of the wonderful city Portland once was. Such great memories. R.I.P. and God Speed, Bill Schonely.

Compared to this debacle, we almost look competitive.
