SEC Still the Nation's Best Conference . . . Just Ask the Newly Clothed Emperor Sankey
SEC programs have won 8 of the last 9, and 7 of the 8 were different programs. (LSU twice) Oklahoma didn't raise its own bar until becoming an SEC member. Boy, talking about a team getting hot at the end of the season. Sooners were 11th in the SEC in regular season, lost their SEC Tournament opener, and had zero players named to All-SEC teams. Sure provides Sankey with the narrative for continuation of multiple SEC teams in the baseball playoffs. Just wish they had to prove it a bit more with fewer home regionals and home super regionals. Though, the Sooners won both of theirs on the road. Beavis was the last non-SEC team to win.

Will Sorsby Continue the Cam $cam?
https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-declines-brendan-sorsby-supplemental-draft-application/ Not sure he can go elsewhere? The UFL league begins play March 2027. The CFL is May 2027. Neither give him much opportunity in comparison to the regular 2027 NFL draft which is in April.

The US Open - Oregon Man, Wyndham Clark, WINS!
It is interesting how the PGA makes the daily adjustments in watering and grass length, and whether individual players can adjust to those changes. Along with time of tee-time affecting conditions individuals face. Aside from game time temperature for football, soccer, tennis, I'm not sure another sport throws the amount of variation at players as professional golf does?

QUACK QUACK! Oregon Ducks Land 6-6 Defensive Recruit Three-Star Josh Christensen
2027 verbal commits from California 2 of 19 – Oregon 5 of 18 - UW 9 of 14 – USC 12 of 22 – UCLA 14 of 22 – Cal 4 of 11 - ASU Something to monitor, I suppose. Not every coaching staff can recruit nationally, and if something happened to the Lanning era, would the next staff be able to redevelop high school contacts in Cali?

QUAAAKKK! 4-Star WR Dakota Guerrant Verbals to......OREGON!
Well in 2027 when the Ducks are at The Big House, hope Guerrant is on the Oregon roster instead of living in a dorm 50 miles from his home near Detroit.

Marsh Duck - Does Dan Lanning Have a Big Game Problem?
tOSU and Indiana adjusted game plans for the second meeting, and offered some stuff not on season film. To me, it simply looked like Oregon wasn't expecting the adjustments.

Coach Mike White Gets Another Title
Texas Longhorns go back-to-back with softball national championships vs Texas Tech. White was also the coach for two runner-ups vs Oklahoma during his tenure. The remainder of his time at Texas (since 2019) has ended in Super Regionals.

Oram on New Oregon State AD

The Civil War Returns: Oregon and Oregon State Agree to Renew Football Rivalry
"12th game is flex scheduled but will be a repeat of a conference game played earlier in the season." I think they also have to consider the home game schedule. Some teams will have 4 home Pac games, some 3. For example, Beavis will have 4 home games and WSU 3. Tentatively, the 12th game will be those two "rivals" playing in Pullman to give WSU a 4th home game. That matchup is "penciled-in." But, suppose Beavis is 7-0 and "in contention for a CFP berth." Suppose WSU is 5-2. There will be a lot of howling from Beavis fans if the Beavers are sent on the road for a potential loss and loss of CFP opportunity. WSU fans will howl they should get 4 home games. Now, suppose WSU is 4-3, and BSU is 6-1. Then, it could be Beavis vs BSU. But, both OSU and BSU will have had 4 home games, including the BSU one-loss which was already played in Corvallis. Who will howl louder? Fans of 7-0 Beavis saying they deserve the 5th home game, or 6-1 BSU fans who say we already played in Corvallis and we deserve a chance to even the score? Plus, if the latter happens, that would mean out of the other 6 Pac members, 4 would have had 3 home conference games. One of those is going to end up with no more than 3 home games: 2 fours playing at 2 threes, and 1 three playing another three.

Four Game Times, TV Slots Released for Oregon Ducks Schedule
It was interesting to me to see the whole 11-game schedule for Beavis released today, with kickoff times. (There will be a 12th game to be determined). Of those 11 games, 2 were on so-called broadcast TV - 1 CBS, 1 CW - while the other 9 were cable or streaming - 6 USA, 1 ESPN, 1 CBSSN, MW+. I thought Beavs were touting all their games would be on over-air broadcast TV? "Everyone has The CW!!" Of the 52 regular season Pac12 conference games that occur on Saturday, 26 of them kickoff at 9:30 pm Eastern or later.

The GoDucks App
As I recall, there was a problem with the App early last Fall. The Athletic Dept decided to make some modifications in the weeks immediately before the first game and it gave a lot of people angst about whether they would have access to their tickets. As I recall, it was fixed in time. Barely. Eventually the AD responded because there were too many complaints/problems to ignore.

The Civil War Returns: Oregon and Oregon State Agree to Renew Football Rivalry
Well, it appears the wedding industry in the Southeast for November nuptials just took a dive. SEC announced that beginning in 2027 it is eliminating Cupcake Weekend in November. 2026: 'bama vs Chattanooga, Ole Miss vs Wofford, Auburn vs Samford...and others like it this season in late November will go by the wayside. The SEC is going to 9 conference games and will apparently try to copy the B1G by compressing all non-conference into the first month?

Stunning Move UP for Oregon as No. 11 National Seed...and Face a Pac-12 NCAA Baseball Regional in Eugene
Have to say, I'm not a fan of UO, OSU and WSU in the same Regional. Understand the "geography" factor, but I would rather see each of the 3 in different Regionals. Being in one Regional means only one of the 3 has a chance to advance to a Super. And, we'll have to read/hear about "old Pac12 rivals" as a storyline for days leading up to it. Lazy journalism rewarded.

After 11 Innings: No. 1 UCLA Slips by No. 14 Oregon 3-2, for the Big-10 Tournament Championship
I'm curious about other conferences with a season-end tournament. Is there attendance as abysmal as it was for the Big Ten's games not involving Nebraska? And, even Nebraska fans didn't show up in great numbers? I understand the stadium in Omaha is 24,000 and it will look empty. But geesh, it looked EMPTY all over on TV. I can understand the proposed advantage of playing there for any B1G team that later makes the collegiate series and returns, but...
