There was a long period of time after Chip left, where there was no waiting list for season tickets. I don't doubt some tOSU fans bought season tickets, but I also know Oregon season ticket holders sold to tOSU. There were a ton of tOSU around the 50 yard line on the old side.

The tie breakers for B1G TEN championship game: 1. Head to head 2. Record vs common opponents 3. Record vs all conference opponent records Uncommon opponents: Ducks Penn St. Indiana Illinois 3-2 Illinois 3-2 Mich 3-2 Mich 3-2 Minny 3-2 Wisc 3-2 Wisc 3-2 Neb 2-3 MSU 2-3 MSU 2-3 USC 2-3 NW 1-4 I like the Ducks chances with the tie breakers. Northwestern is going to pull Indiana down.

F.E.B.U. Forget Everybody But Us Winning solves everything.

Everybody saw this coming, but nobody cared. Historic House-NCAA settlement leaving hundreds of Olympic sport athletes in peril SPORTS.YAHOO.COM While the NCAA and power conferences agreed to expand upon scholarships as part of the settlement, they also imposed roster limits for sports, many of which did not previously exist.

I was at the game and it was scary how efficient tOSU was on offense. tOSU may have been the "better" or played better, but the only thing that matters is what the score board reads. It read Oregon 32, Ohio State 31. I think it is a compliment to the Ducks, that everybody says tOSU was the better team. In that sense, the Ducks played "worse" or was a worse team, but they still won. Game 6 of the regular season doesn't mean much. Only games 13 -16 really matter.

The decibels did reach 127. The Buckeyes represented, but I don't think they got to 20K. That means 1/3 were tOSU fans? I can definitely see 10-12K were tOSU fans.

FPI is all about calculating a whole bunch of stats to come up with a number. Barely beating Idaho isn't going to do the Ducks any favors. As well all know, you can almost make stats say whatever you want.

I don't like the auto bids, but it is likely B1G TEN and SEC get 4 every year anyway. Why force the issue? I know it would be hurting the Ducks, but having the B1G and SEC be the haves and everybody else be the have nots, will eventually hurt the B1G and SEC. Right now, we sort of have a national champion with the playoffs. Money hasn't separated the B1G and SEC from ACC and Big 12 yet. In a couple of years when the money really starts to show, it will be the B1G and SEC teams winning titles. I know not much different than it is now, but it still seems like the ACC and Big 12 have a chance. When over half the country doesn't feel invested in college football, the TV viewership will fall and then the money will fall. I personally would have only 3 full money distributions to conferences, then split the remaining extra bid money between the other conferences. Give the ACC, Big 12 and the G6 a little extra money to give them a glimmer of hope. We all know it is false hope, but hope all the same to keep the TV numbers high.

Alumni for most university have no idea what it takes to recruit athletes these days. He has to beg because most alumni feel like the name Washington is enough to recruit the athletes. I'm really glad Nike, Oregon and whomever else knows what it takes to recruit and set up Division Street.

Autzen essentially only has 1 road out, it does go east and west, but going east the traffic is reduced to 1 lane after going over I-5. Trying to get 60,000 people out on 1 road and part of the road is 1 lane, is never going to be fast. I would put in more parking south of the river. The parking structure along Millrace Dr. is not nearly big enough.

The new court will still have a tree's theme, but it will be much more muted.

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. 1998 Tennesse - Phillip Fulmer 48 years old, 7th season, 66-11-1 84.62% 1999 FSU - Bobby Bowden 70 years old, 34th season, 304-85-4 77.53 2000 Oklahoma - Bob Stoops 40 Years old, 2nd season, 20-5 80.0% 2001 Miami - Larry Coker 53 years old, 1st season, 12-0 100.0% 2002 tOSU - Jim Tressel 50 years old, 17th season, 156-62-2 70.91% 2003 LSU - Nick Saban 52 years old, 11th season, 82-39-1 67.21% 2004 USC - Pete Carroll 53 years old, 4th season, 42-9 82.35% 2005 Texas - Mack Brown 54 years old, 22nd season, 169-93-1 64.26% 2006 Florida - Urban Meyer 42 years old, 6th season, 61-12 83.56% 2007 LSU - Les Miles 54 years old, 7th season, 62-27 69.66% 2008 Florida - Urban Meyer 2009 Alabama - Nick Saban 2010 Auburn - Gene Chizik 49 years old, 4th season, 27-24 52.94% 2011 Alabama - Nick Saban 2012 Alabama - Nick Saban 2013 FSU - Jimbo Fisher 48 years old, 4th season, 45-10 81.82% 2014 tOSU - Urban Meyer 2015 Alabama - Nick Saban 2016 Clemson - Dabo Swinney 47 years old, 9th season, 89-28 76.07% 2017 Alabama - Nick Saban 2018 Clemson - Nick Saban 2019 LSU - Ed Orgeron 58 years old, 8th season, 56-36 60.87% 2020 Alabama - Nick Saban 2021 Georgia - Kirby Smart 46 years old, 6th season, 66-15 81.48% 2022 Georgia - Kirby Smart

Yep, sucks to lose for sure, but next game. We can still make the CFP. However, no more mulligans.

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.

Yep, Chasing points. 24-29 looks a lot better than 18-29.

Hopefully, the D steps up. Have been average so far. I also think the play calling needs to adjust. UW D seems to know the plays before they happen. Still a lot of time, but need to kick it in gear now.

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.

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.

Hopefully, the verbal equals a signed NLI in December.

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.

It is perception. By giving UO, UW, USC and UCLA 3 rivalry game, looks really bad to the "original" B1G TEN teams. You aren't going to give the new guys preferential treatment. Also, Oregon has become a national recruiter and with a ton more games in the Midwest, I say the Ducks actually gain in recruiting.

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.
