My bet... USC gets their pee pees slaped long before Oregon. B1G ain't going to like dealing with USC. This is going to be fun

And so it begins....

Boo... Beavs deserved better. Was hoping B12 would swoop them up. In the end Beavs only have themselves to blame. They should have upgraded a lot sooner. Bad timing for sure.

College football has been nationalized for years. It was just a matter of time before conference realignment took down more regional splits. With the advent of espn and later FOX sports, coupled with the NCAA abdicated their responsibilities to college athletics. A North and south split was inevitable. When It's all said and done, only two conferences will be left in major college sports. All driven by the money generated by football and a lesser extent BB. New smaller leagues will emerge. I hope they become gems in American culture. Not all great products have to have "Amazon" bloat. Ultimately we will have Northern football and southern football. I think it will still be a great product once the bugs get worked out. The NCAA would be wise to wrestle back some of the power Fox and espn have userped from college athletics. Doubt they have the stomach for it though. In the end it seems to be going the direction many wanted. NIL, transfer portal, expanded playoff and big media have all played a collective roll in bringing us... NFL LIGHT Stay tuned, this is far from over.

Would love getting USC every year. Trojan tried to black list Oregon. Tried to kill Oregons ability to compeat at the highest level. USC hatred makes Fusky hatred look like a play date. In November, Ducks the to break the Trojan. The standard needs to set. USC needs to know what is coming year after yaer after year. USC played dirty. The games are going to be violent. I have deep anger ove the shenanigans trojan pulled. The B1G knows it. Rocky v. Creed.

3 of the 4 west coast schools will finish in the top 7 or 8 most years. It's a good bet one of the three will finish top three most years. Ducks need to be that team. Finish 2nd, some years 3rd, and you are in a playoff for the NC. B1G schedules by performance and we get tOSU, Mich or PSU every year. Love it. I want the Ducks to play the best. Iron sharpens Iron. I think its a requirement to become Champion. UGA had to go through Bama Friday was a turning point for the Ducks. Compleate game changer for UofO. Recruiting is going to ratchet up. I think of the four west teams, Fusky and UCLA the the most likely to join Nebraska in the "also ran" category. Ducks golden ticket will be capitolized on by UO leadership. That leaves USC, tOSU, Mich, PSU and MSU. Bring it on!

The biggest winner of the western 4 is Oregon. Biggest loser is UCLA with SC a close second. Husky has to be able to recruit. I think the are 52nd in the 24 class. Thats not going to get it done in the B1G. DeBore can coach, can he recruit. Mariø could recruit but couldn't coach a lick. Need both if you want to compete for B1G title and a shot at NC. Oregon has a good, perhaps great one day, coach locked in for the long term. And the guy can recruit his backside off. I truely believe this event will catapult Ducks into true Blue Blood status. Ducks will always be "new money". All the more sweeter. Go Ducks

I said it before. If Ducks were joining the B1G twelve months ago, Moore would be a Duck. I fully expect 5* recruits choosing the Ducks at a much higher rate. 3, 4, 5 a class will become the norm. USC knew it. Watching them melt over this realization has been a wonderful blessing.

It will backfire on the B1G. Sure Ducks will keep Trojan at bay. What they don't see coming is Oregon winning the B1G. This is going to be fun. SC fan getting that sucked up is epic! Only been in the B1G 48 hrs and SC fan is losing their minds.

Traditional Blue Bloods are not going to like it. But nothing they can do about it. Ducks are here to stay. USC knew what many other Blue Bloods are going to learn. Its why they did all they could to black list UO from the B1G. The P12 leg irons have been removed. Ducks true potential will finally be realized now that the p12 is no longer a drag. Great post JJ. Release the Quakin!

The "Pac is weak" narrative was seeded years ago. Imo, it was seeded for this day specifically. It was echoed over and over. Words mean something. They have tremendous power. Truth be damned. They say "the pen is mightier than the sword" for a reason. "Restraint of tongue and pen" is some of the best advice I have ever gotten. Many can be blamed, many played a roll. But small seeds often grow into giants and provide coverge and shelter for vermin with ill intentions. Narrative seeding is powerful. It seems to be a cultural norm in todays world. It has the power to bring nations to their knees. Just my theory. Tin hat? Perhaps. It can be seen as the first shot across the bow. The Pac is now sunk. The narrative that Oregon sunk it started a few days ago with Zano article implying the future of Pac is in Oregons hands. Blame? Plenty to go around. Blame Ducks if you want. Doesn't matter. The Pac as we know it... dead. For "better or worse" will be debated for a long time. In the end... lets play some football!!!

Didn't even think about that. Good riddance.

Ducks have won in the Big House and the Shoe. Beat Whisky a couple time. Rosebowl victories and have played for 2 NCs. You will have fun learning about Orygun. Ducks had one of the best , if not the best O line in the country last year. Ducks will win the B1G before the current tv deal expires. Blue bloods ain't going to like it. Rutger fan might applaude though.

Utes have got to be incredibly frustrated. They jumped to the Pac out of MW and won 2 conference titles. Utes aren't heading back to MW. B12 will swoop them up. 5 years or less and Utes win the B12. It would be great to meet Utes or Beavs in a playoff game. Epic!

Beavs have their coach. JS is going to be a good one. Upgraded facilities. B12 should jump on the opportunity. Beavs would go cheap. Well below market value. Beaves are going to be a good football team as long as JS is running the show. Beavs baseball is super attractive. Be a good buy for B12

Being independent is super risky. BYU jumped into Big12, ND will be in B1G in 2y max. That would leave Stanford. Probably not going to happen.

Good to hear. Would love to see Beavus in one of the Big3. 🤞🤞🤞🤞

I remember the sadness and loss I felt when Weyerhaeuser gobbled up Willamette Industries. Now the FOX and ESPN take the Pac. The Pac has been around since before I became a fan of CF. A lot has changed since then. Some good, some bad, some meh. One thing that has definitely changed. I am more of a rabid Duck fan today than I was 40 years ago. Every year I seem to be a little more fanatical than the previous. I dont see that changing being in the B1G. Love being a Duck fan. Now I have Wash, USC, tOSU, Wisky, Mich, PSU to look forward to. Going to be a blast game week of all of these match-ups. Life and football got better today IMO. Recruiting will be more exciting as well. Go Ducks!

That was 5 hrs ago. Gotta move faster than that today.

Nice to see Ducks are bowing up to get best deal they can. Can't see how Oregon would want to stay in a glorified MW.

Zano has always been a hack when it comes to the Ducks. His favoritism towards Beavus is no secret. Let the rest of the Pac blame UO. Doesn't matter. Ducks have gotten no love from any of them for years. Including JC. Most of the Pac rooted against the Ducks in the NC games. Yet there they were with their hands out to collect their share of the NC game cash. I could care less about any of these teams. Oregon has carried the water for the rest of them for way to long. Bunch of ingrates.

Why would the B1G pay more to someone in desperation? Ducks are in a bad spot. We can point the finger but Oregon plays a part in their situation. Hope Ducks learn where they went wrong.

35-40 mil for a few years, where do I sign? Press hard, 3 copies. All while winning a B1G conference title. There is a reason Trojan wanted Ducks black listed. They know what is happening in Eugene

Pac schools have bashed Oregon for years. Now they are trying to set up Oregon for the blame. Shocker! Good bye Pac, hope your demise is swift and Oregon moves on to bigger, greener pastures

Not sure on the accuracy but a good conversation.
