Haywarduck No. 1 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Much like Annie stated so well, we can't control what other programs do or what other conferences do, nor what the tv contracts come out with. What we can control is putting the best team on the field with the most compelling story out there. If this happens the general public will want to see the Ducks play and the money will follow. Let's not freak out with what others are doing, just revel in how well our Ducks are being run and put together. All the other stuff will follow, and we won't have to worry about all this noise. That has been the Oregon way for a while, others tend to follow us, let's keep it that way. So all I know is these headlines really mean nothing, nothing to see here. What matters is what happens this fall and the falls going forward. The rest will take care of itself, so lets continue to discuss what matters our Ducks and football! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think of it....Lanning is going to completely do what he wants, without Kirby's control. Between him and Dillingham...we might just have quite the compelling story no matter where we go! 1 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kamikaze Kid Moderator No. 3 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Oregon is just one opening season upset away from controlling the entire college football narrative. If that happens, they will have taken out two top five teams on the road in back to back years, played in two of the most viewed regular season games the last two years, and if they don't trip over there own two feet after that, will have set themselves up to be a college game day destination again and be the talk of college football all year long. Not bad for a school not deemed worthy enough to play against college football power houses like Indiana and Northwestern. Meanwhile media favorite USC could easily be looking up at a sad scoreboard against Fresno St, WSU, OSU, Utah, UCLA and ND. Here's to rooting for fate to do her thing! 1 2 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
