DC Featherbutt

Yes. Without question. 2 of the premier private/public schools in the land that happen to be within driving distance. Check Tons of green and yellow alumni in general area. Check. Familiarity. Check Can only help to lure Notre Dame in a few years. Check NOT the beavs. Check. I do not understand the wanting of OAC in all of this. The events of yesterday went a long way to making the state of Oregon a one team state. I have dreamed of this all of my life. We gain nothing by having OAC exist. I don’t even want them as an OOC matchup. Let them enjoy their trip to Albuquerque and their 18K that show up at beandip arena to see the always tricky Wolfpack of Reno.

Longtime listener, first time caller. Charles, I hear you. After graduating from Oregon in 1988 I left Eugene and have never moved back. At the start of my career my mother would mail me RG Sunday sports sections during football season. Living in DC at that time this mailing was my only Duck news. At the advent of the internet (or their abouts) the RG website gave me everything I could hope for: Ducks and Siuslaw HS scores and news. Now I’m retired and live in Las Vegas. I have a lot of couch time to read about what is going on in my favorite part of the country. Unfortunately the RG gives me next to zero info about the things I want to read about. I suppose I would feel differently if I wanted to know about a new inclusive trans show playing at the Hult Center or such. All I want is unbiased news about the local economy, Ducks news, and information about local HS sports. That type of information no longer exists in the RG, at least online. It is sad that a really good paper in a small market can vanish like it has. The Oregonian is not that much better IMO.
