  1. Dan Lanning is 37 years old and 1.5 seasons in as a head coach with 80% winning percentage. 

    Average age of coaches (minus Bowden) for their 1st title is age 49.57, with winning percentage of 75.55.   Average season winning a title 7.72.

    With Bowden added into the calculation                                 age 50.92, with winning percentage of 76.75.  Average season winning a title 9.47.

     

    Most head coaches aren't who they are for the rest of their career 1.5 seasons in.  My perspective is we shouldn't start to worry for a couple more seasons.  Coaches will have growing pains.

  2. Coulda woulda, shoulda...

     

    We will see them in the PAC championship game.

     

    Lanning needs to learn though.  Left 6 points on the table and to go for it on 4th and 3 at midfield?

     

    I don't know why being so aggressive is considered a good thing.

     

    I don't want to be too conservative  either, but leaving points in a close game is silly.

  3. Both coaches are in year 2 at their current school.  Too early to tell what each coach is.  I believe both are on an upward trajectory, but to have a definitive stance is a bit silly.

     

    I'm still not sold on Jonathan Smith and he is year 6.  

     

    It is curious about UW throwing stones about coaching hires.

  4. Granted, it is getting harder and harder to say these kids are students, but adding games makes it more like they are employees.  More games would be great, but when some people are already complaining about the length of the college season and kids having so many snaps under their belt before going the NFL, I think it will be a hard sell.

  5. There are a ton of moving parts, but the PAC stopped USC/UCLA from voting once they announced they were leaving.  I don't see how that is any different now that everybody else is leaving.  The only people really winning are the lawyers.  There is definitely money, but there is also debt.  OSU/WSU pay keeping the PAC, they also get the debt.

     

    With everybody leaving they are getting what they want, I'm not sure why they are fighting OSU/WSU who are getting the short end of the stick.  They get a few extra years of having a bit of money, then they are G5.

  6. Well, B1G does have Peacock and that is worse than the PAC12 network.  However, the number of games shown on that network is much lower than the PAC12 network.

     

    Peacock will contain eight regular-season football games and potentially up to 47 regular-season men’s basketball games (32 conference and 15 non-conference) and 30 regular-season women’s basketball games (20 conference and 10 non-conference).

     

    As of right now, the B1G is not in the normal package for Comcast/Xfinity.  Comcast/Xfinity website says they offer it as part of their normal package for regions with B1G TEN teams, so I'm hoping when the Ducks join it next year, I won't have to pay extra for the channel.  

     

    DishTV had the B1G as part of their normal package, but they couldn't deal done with FOX and I wasn't going to have another football season of not being able to record games.  

     

     

  7. I agree @Nevada Dawg the football polls are voters trying to make sure their preseason poll looks right.  With football there really isn't a good way to compare teams because there are so few games played OOC.

     

    I'm going with the glass half full for the Ducks and believe their D is much improved this season, but we have UW, WSU, USC, Utah and OSU who we have yet to prove it against this year.  I think the Ducks could go undefeated, but I would settle for a single loss before the PAC 12 championship game.

  8. Nobody likes to admit when they are wrong.

    Preseason rankings                 Week 6 Rankings   

    #2 Michigan                             #2 Michigan

    #3 tOSU                                   #4 tOSU

    #7 Penn St                               #6 Penn St.

    #6 USC                                    #7 Washington

    #10 Washington                       #8 Oregon

    #15 Oregon                              #9 USC

     

    Michigan has won by an average of nearly 30 points.

    tOSU has beat a top 10 ranked team in ND.

    Penn St. has won by an average of over 30 points.

     

    Not easy moving teams ahead of other teams when everybody is winning and really doing what they are supposed to be doing.

     

    Just saying

    B1G TEN - 3 top 10 teams

    PAC - 3 top 10 teams

    SEC - 1 top 10 team

    Big 12 - 1 top 10 team

    ACC - 1 top 10 team

    ND top 10 team

     

    I'd say the PAC is well respected this season.  Oregon St. is ranked ahead of all 1 loss teams except Alabama and ND.

  9. If the other 4 conferences have undefeated champions, then yeah the PAC 12 would miss out.  I would like to think the PAC 12 champ had played a harder schedule than the ACC or the Big 12, but the committee will look at the L column and see a 1, where as the others will have a 0.

     

    However, 4 conferences having an undefeated record has not happened during the CFP existence.  We haven't even played half a season yet.  Way too much football left to play.

  10. Every school would accept an uncle Phil.  Parker stadium sold the naming rights in 1999 to Reser Stadium for 5 million for 10 years.  OSU got another 7.5 million when they continued the contract until 2024.

     

    OSU got an anonymous donation of 50 million to help reach 150 million to renovate the stadium.

     

    Sports aren't free.

  11. According to Title 9, the scholarships have to be proportional to the percentage of students at the University.  The most recent statistics I could find were, 45% male and 55% female at the University of Oregon.  If the men have 131.3, then there should be a total of 292 scholarships available at the University of Oregon.  292-131.3 = 160.7.  The women are short 47.7 scholarships. 

     

    I'm not sure how the articles finds 94, unless Oregon isn't offering the max allowed per women's sports.

     

    Also, the Universities don't need to have any support for club sports, so I'm not sure why/how rowing is trying to sue the University of Oregon.

     

     

    Male 45%     Female 55%  
    Baseball 11.7   Acrobatics & Tumbling 14
    Basketball 13   Basketball 15
    Cross Country/Track & Field 12.6   Cross Country/Track & Field 20
    Football 85   Golf 6
    Golf 4.5   Lacrosse 12
    Tennis 4.5   Soccer 14
      131.3   Softball 12
          Tennis 8
          Volleyball 12
            113
             
          Beach Volleyball 8

     

     

    Being short 47.7 isn't a minor amount.
