    Here is a link to an article by Jon Wilner regarding Pac-12 finances for the last year before everyone but Beavis and the Cougs left for greener pastures.

     

    One key finding is that:  "Oregon is the only school that did not book any student fees or direct transfers as revenue, and the Ducks managed to report an operating surplus of $1.9 million."

    Based on NCAA filings and upcoming release of tax returns, it appears Pac-12 schools ran a collective deficit of $110 million for fiscal 2024 year.

    Here is a link to a blurb agout Devon Pryor's workout with the Blazers.    Pryor is quoted as follows:  “I’m in no rush, but for me, it’s just the feedback, as much feedback as I can get,” Pryor said. “Because I know there’s still plenty of ways for me to grow, and so I’m just open to everybody’s opinions and what they say I can do better. Keep open ears and a closed mouth.”

    6554b6be8c0d829a8bf63ae0c82cf121_link.pn Portland police chief will no longer officiate Division 1 football games, he says

    WWW.OREGONLIVE.COM
    Bob Day last served as a line judge for the Pac-12 in 2023 when he began his role as interim chief for the Police Bureau.

     

    This article is about the Portland Chief of Police giving up his side hustle of a college football Line Judge so he can focus on his regular job.  He said he made about $4K per game, but that he had to pay all of his expenses (travel, lodging, etc.)  That's more than I thought college football officials made.

     

    I have maintained for decades, that the college football officiating should be a full time gig and paid accordingly.  In my opinion, there is too much money at stake for part-time/side-gig officials.

     

    As an aside, I know Bob Day and he is a solid dude.

     

     

     

    Yes, they should. 

     

    It's not easy for us Portlanders to get to Eugene.  In the past 11 months, I have attended an event at a winery that featured Coach Lanning (and had a nice conversation with him) and a basketball "show case" at West Linn HS where the men's and women's teams had some competitions (and I was able to have a conversation with Coach Altman).  Both events were well attended.

     

    I went to the new Portland campus to watch the Oregon Soar (Women's ultimate frisbee) and it would be nice to have more events there.  In fact, there is a law school event at the end of May that I plan to attend.

     

    Bottom line:  I think it would be both beneficial to UO and its' fans to have more events in Portland.

    Ducks 61 -  Hoosiers 54

     

    Shelstad at the line for 2

     

    Far from perfect, but better job of getting shots in the paint. 
     

    Bamba, who is an elite perimeter defender, brought his offense today.  17 points on 6-9 FG. 
     

    Go Ducks!!!

    Ducks 50 - Hoosiers 47

     

    Ducks only have 1 TO left. 
     

    Settling for too many quick 3s.  OBD’s offense is so much better when they get the ball inside and play inside-out.  
     

    Also, too many turnovers.  Need to value each possession. 
     

    Go Ducks !!!

    OL loses the following starters:  Conerly (NFL), Strother, Harper, and Cornelius. Projected OL for 2025 is:  World (transfer from NV), Bedford, Poncho, Iuli and Harkey (transfer from Tx State), though the Ducks recent pursuit of Pregnon (USC) may alter this projection.

     

    DL loses the following starters:  Burch and Harmon.  Caldwell has a chance to return, but has not stated his intentions. Projected DL For 2025 is:  Matayo, Caldwell (if he returns), A'Mauri Washington or Bear Alexander (transfer from USC) and Tuioti.
