Yea, I don't put much weight into it. Found it entertaining though. They don't go into details about how study was conducted other than a one season peek. Mariøball was a snoozer, so grain of salt.

Georgia and others have offered Dickey recently. It will be a battle to keep him.

Big brother...pfft. thats not happening. Once we get in the B1G we will continue the hate. Until then we have some hating to do in the Pac-12. This guy should have asked a buddy. Everyone not in a coma knows the bad blood between these teams. The traitors down south take the crown. Will forever hate SC. Pity to ucla, they will forever be little brother. Suckers!

Ducks enter B1G and lookout. Recruiting will go through the roof. Play them chumps down south EVERY year. Win your division play conf championship game. Win that your in. That's better than relying on human opinion like we would get in the Pac-10. Lanning turns out to be a great game day coach and look out. Dude can recruit and hire top talent. Thats a recipe for winning titles. B1G or bust. Get into the B1G and get in position to control our own destiny. Now doesn't that sound like a lot of fun?

Welcome, thanks for participating

How can USC be in talks with B1G and simultaneously actively seek to weaken the Pac-12? Can you sit on a board of a corporation, shut down proposals that would strengthen that corporation, all while negotiating your jump to said corporations competitor? How is this even legal?

One thing Lanning has a ton of is confidence in himself and his abilities. He grabbed a fist full and is going after the best in the country. If the B1G wants Oregon they will make it known by the end of Oct. Gives Ducks plenty of time to flip some guys before the early signing period. B1G isn't going to let uncertainty damage Oregons recruiting or brand. The stronger Oregon is the stronger B1G will be.

Yet he played second fiddle to Verdell. Imo, Oregon backs have been mediocre at best the past few years.

This could be the most talented roster the Ducks have ever fielded. This could also be the most talented coaching staff Oregon has ever assembled. A ton of unknowns but looks super promising. Going out on a limb here. Oregon catches lightning in a bottle and beats the defending champs. Supercharged the buy-in and confidence to sweep regular season. Blows out Utes in conf championship. Takes down tOSU in semi then dismantling Bama for a perfect 15-0 and a National Championship. It's pre-season and I am a fan of a highly talented Duck team. This is sport and the plausibility factor is high. Until Ducks lose, I believe 15.

Thanks DnC. I love hearing about these coaches. Almost as much as I love hearing about the players. Seems that every coach on this staff has that IT factor. Its infectuous. Love it.

So Ducks have the #1 O-line and the #2 LB group in the country. Arguably 2 of the most important groups on offense and defense. Still Ducks are huge underdogs v. UGA. Looks like the DB's are an improvement from last year. The case has also been made that the WR, QB and RB rooms are better. That leaves the D-line and coaching. Lost KT to the draft but the overall D-Line could be better. And Mariø is gone. I would hate to be the ones setting betting line for this Duck team. Waking up at 2 a.m. from night terrors and cold sweats doesn't sound like much fun. Everyone can slobber over SC but the Ducks are going to be scary in 22. Kirby Smart and his staff are well aware of the challenges playing Oregon poses. Sept 3rd can't get here soon enough.

I see USC is not on the list. They are buried somewhere in the middle of the Pac. I guess the crowning of the king will have to wait.

Ah! You grew up with an SC Pops. That explains it.

Forgive me if I hold off on crowning USC until they beat half the teams in the pac. So far, the only way USC has remotely beaten the Pac is with slimy conference realignment. No... i don't think USC finds its way to the top of the B1G for many reasons. First, they will have to get through Oregon. Second, cheaters never prosper. They had to cheat in the early 2k's and now they pulled this garbage, hurt a lot of folks. USC demise will be spectacular.

A good rule to live by: When in doubt, do nothing. I agree that Oregon should take a breath, step back and wait for the right opportunity. That doesn't mean sit idle. Focus on what they can control. Development of these men on and off the field. Become a better progr'm. Prepare for and enjoy the upcoming season. The stuff inside the hullahoop. I am convinced the perfect situation for OBD will present itself with in the next 12 months. Be prepared but build and enjoy what's in front of us. Season is 5 weeks away. It's going to be a blast. Ducks have a ton of talent and what I hope to be a great staff. Future looks great, let's not blow it up with knee-jerk reaction based on fear.

Some guys just can't be the boss. Helfs not the only one. Mariø comes to mind.

Great post. Let's get another great backfield tandem. Ducks have had great rushing in the past. Let's retire the "cloud of dust".

Helf was the OC when MM was a Duck. Gotta give Helf a ton of credit for what Marcus did. Helfrich is a good coach, just not a head coach.

Great catch

tOSU, Michigan, Wiss, Penn st, Mich St... makes USC, at best, 6 or 7th best team in the B1G. 7 losses and you are sitting at home in Dec.

Just a thought, can Oregon negotiate its own TV deal? Or are they tied to Pac?
