The media is over looking what we have on the offensive line. They see Oregon losing 4 veteran offensive line starters from last year's team. But the team will have some of the best talent in the league on this year's squad. Marcus Harper, Josh Conerly, Jackson Powers-Johnson (who was really mentored by Alex Forsyth in the center position), along with a handful of other younger players who have some experience playing in games. Also, Lanning and Klemm brought in through the portal Angilus and Cornelius. Angilus started 34 games across different spots on the line during his time at Texas. Cornelius was among the most highly-coveted players in the transfer portal. With the help of these couple of big time commitments, Oregon's offensive line could be a major strength this coming season. I think about what Will Stein will produce on the field with a talented experience QB and one of the top receiving corps in the country. Along with an embarrassment of riches in the running back position, and a really good offensive line leading the charge. What Will Stein did at his old school with a depleted front line. I can imagine what he will be able to do with this front line at Oregon. Our defense will be a different animal this coming season. With a wealth of talent everywhere with Burch, Bassa and Jamal Hill leading the way. Dan Lanning is starting to build layers of players to run the type of defense he is looking for. He is one of the brightest defensive minds in the country. Both Charles and coach Boles have presented us with an array of multifaceted offensive and defensive plays that excites the imagination of what this team is capable of doing this year. I have no doubt what this offense will be able achieve this year. But what I am most intrigue, which I believe will be the big surprise, is our defense. So, let the media overlook Oregon. This only brings fodder to the team. Go Ducks, Fly High!!

An old friend could beat Georgia for five-star LB Justin Williams Oak Ridge (Texas) linebacker Justin Williams is a big deal as a recruit. As such, it shouldn't be all that surprising that there are plenty of big-time schools after his commitment. Williams boasts over 30 offers, but he's narrowed his recruitment down to four blue-bloods: Alabama, Texas, Oregon and Georgia. Ranked as the consensus No. 1 linebacker in the nation, according to the 247Sports Composite, Williams is set to announce his decision on July 24. He even further narrowed his list down to Oregon and Georgia in a conversation with On3, which means that the defending back-to-back national champions are in a fight with the Nike-backed Ducks of Eugene.

Charles and HappyToBeADuck stated it well. Look what happened to the brick and mortar stores/malls. They started disappearing due to a new way of shopping via online with Amazon, etc. What is happening is sort of the same way. People are cutting the cord and going by the way of streaming. It's the new way of doing business. This is what's going to happen with linear tv. Linear will never be the same. Big money will be in the streaming business. Hopefully Pac-12 will benefit from it with a solid media contract. I agree with Charles. I'm seeing Oregon will benefit greatly. Helping expand their brand and fanbase.

Love the idea of getting together! My family and I will be arriving in Eugene on Friday! Can't wait for the game! Thanks Charles! Go Ducks, Fly High!

The Pac-12 has quite a few marquee games in 2023 While too much of the attention surrounding the Pac-12 this offseason has been on things that won't be happening on the field, but more so what is happening in the boardroom, the Pac-12 is poised to have a huge year. There are five programs that are viewed as being Pac-12 title contenders, with four of them having a chance to make the playoff if everything goes right for them. There are also the added storylines of USC and UCLA's last year in the Pac-12 being that they are set to make the jump to the Big Ten following the conclusion of the season. With all of the intense matchups, I decided to check the ticket prices for every Pac-12 team, and see which matchup has the highest price! Here is a list of every Pac-12 team’s most expensive home ticket in 2023 according to Gametime (prices as of 07/12). Check out the most expensive ticket for the UCLA/Colorado game: Opponent: Colorado Most Expensive Ticket: $13,045.

Glaring issue when it comes to exposure, brands, kickoff times. A former newspaper colleague from the West Coast who took a job in the Eastern Time Zone told me that one of the first things he noticed after his move was how much that three-hour time difference mattered when it came to sports habits. By the time the Pac-12 kicks off a Saturday college football game, the Big Ten, ACC and SEC have saturated the market with highlights, scores, storylines and content. “Anything west of the Rockies,” he lamented, “feels like it’s happening on another planet.” The “Pac-12 After Dark” stuff is fun branding. The games are interesting to college football fans in the Pacific Time Zone, but by 7:30 p.m. PT the East Coast is more interested in finding a pillow.

As been stated, the Pac-12 will have a media deal and Oregon will stay in the Pac-12. Hopefully signed by the time of the Pac-12 conference media day in Las Vegas, July 21. I do think an invite to SDSU and SMU to the Pac-12 will only strengthen the conference with-in 5-6 years. The only part I was interested in the write-up below was his take on the importance of Oregon's brand: Oregon The Big Ten will begin expanding its footprint to the west coast next season as USC and UCLA join the conference. The two schools will cover a huge media market residing in the southern California area. If the Big Ten wants to move further up the coast, then Oregon is the next best option. All you have to say about Oregon is Nike. Having the backing of Phil Knight and Nike would be a huge deal for whatever conference the Ducks end up playing in, should the Pac-12 no longer exist. Add that on top of Oregon football being a national brand, this only adds more intrigue to them. Because let's face it, a large part of these expansions and realignment are based on football money. Oregon football is one of the strongest of the remaining schools left in the Pac-12 that could get a lot of television interest, thus more revenue. If the Ducks were to come into the Big Ten, it would create some interesting new matchups and even some familiar Pac-12 ones. Oregon, 3 college football team candidates for Big Ten conference expansion CLUTCHPOINTS.COM Conference realignment continues in college football with the Big Ten likely to continue to expand. Could Oregon and others be next? Canzano pointed out, Oregon's primary importance is after the playoffs. The Pac-12 will be the easier path to get us there. The conference champion will have an automatic entry into the 12-team bracket. Would it be better for the conference to go from 9 to 8 conference games? "The 12-team bracket will consist of six automatic qualifiers and six at-large bids chosen by the College Football Playoff committee. The six automatic entries will be the six highest-ranked conference champions. College football's highest division, the Football Bowl Subdivision, consists of five "Power 5" conferences (ACC, SEC, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12) and five "Group of 5" conferences (American, C-USA, MAC, Mountain West, Sun Belt). Including six conference champions guarantees the playoffs have at least one Group of 5 team each year."

According to On3 Oregon's Division Street ranks third in the Top 10 NIL Collectives in college football. Charles is right. Arizona most likely shot for the moon with Rushing in NIL money. But, their collective might not have the resources to go after more big talent.

🤔Hmm. Yes, Charles is correct, that message board should be changed from "Message Board Geniuses" to "Message Board Morons." Oops did I just say that out loud? 😳My bad.

New Oregon commit Dylan Willams breaks down his decision Oregon beats out Michigan State for one of the region's top linebacker prospects. Oregon, as we’ve said many times before, was the team to beat for Williams ever since he de-committed from USC last October. He took multiple trips to the Eugene campus, had a strong mentor on the staff in former Poly assistant Rashad Wadood and developed a strong relationship with the rest of the coaching staff as well. Oregon needed to hit a home run on their official visit back on June 23 and did just that.

One of the most common new businesses to have risen surrounding NIL is NIL collectives. NIL collectives are organizations that seek to assist athletes in the process of finding and completing profitable opportunities, as well as negotiating their compensation packages. Below are what On3 deemed were the 10 most "ambitious" NIL collectives in college sports. I didn't know much about NIL collectives before writing this, but it seems to me that the success or failure of an NIL collective is largely dependent on the amount of money being pound into the program, however, there are non-monetary factors that play into the success of certain collectives, which is the most interesting part to me. At No. 3 Oregon - Division Street Division Street unites the two ultimate NIL brands: Oregon and Nike. For years Phil Knight has been doing everything he can to infuse Nike with Oregon athletics, but with the existence of NIL, his ability to synergize those brands is greater than it has ever been. The nexus of Nike’s marketing scheme is athlete-focused endorsements. Whether it is Steve Prefontaine or Cristiano Rondalo, Nike loves to be endorsed by athletes, but before the existence of NIL, collegiate athletics was an untapped marketplace of athletes to endorse the Nike brand, which is what Division Street has sought to capitalize on. As pointed out in On3’s article, one of the more successful ventures created out of Division Street is Ducks of a Feather, an apparel brand that is “made by student-athletes, for student-athletes.” The young brand has limited inventory, but the inventory they’ve had has all sold out rather quickly, which could be a sign of longevity for the brand, as well as the profitability for the athletes involved. Oregon Football: The Top 10 NIL Collectives in College Football DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM In 2021, the Supreme Court reached a landmark decision that allows all college athletes the ability to profit from their own name, image, and likeness (NIL).
