Yeah. He was list as questionable.

Looks like he transferred again already 😂

Thanks! I didn’t know it changed.

This is a very interesting development. By my count, Oregon already has 13 on scholarship. Those are: Vatan, Shelstad, Lindsay, Simpkins, Kobzystyi, Evans, Pryor, Phillips, Bittle, Stewart x2, Frakes, and Demir. However, it is interesting that Demir is the only player on that list that has not been added to the Oregon roster. Did something happen there? If so, maybe that makes room for Lin? Oregon needs another guard badly.

Yikes. WAZZU stadium looks 1/2 full for a conference game.

Looks like OSU is going to need some orange slices at half time!

I am right there with you. I will not turn on ESPN unless it is to watch a Duck game. I switched to the Fox kickoff show instead of Gameday a few years ago when they brought on that loudmouth, Pat McAfee. I used to watch Sportscenter everyday. I have not watched in close to 10 years. I am done with their nonsense.

Go Rams!!

The SEC is now 1-6 in their last 7 games against the BIG?

This looks more better than last year. 🙃

Those are awesome!! Should have maybe wore them for a prime time major network game.

If this is not resolved by Thursday…..Fubo come on down. You are next up on my rotating door of steaming services.

Why didn’t they try and give that $300M to the BIG-12 as a buy in. If that didn’t work, could they have offered to split it equally with the MW to merge under the PAC-12 name to create the top G5 league? Now they have no future. The money is a very short term fix, but when that runs out, they have nothing.

I suspect the the BIG will agree to the 5+11 model now, assuming the ACC follows suit and goes to 9 conference games. As part of this, SEC teams will be required to play at least 1 P4 game OOC as well, so that is a win. I really wish we could get to a place where each league plays 9 conference games with 2 OOC games against the other P4 + one G5 team. Drop the FCS teams all together. Let’s play games that matter and help sort out the imbalance in the sport.

It looks like that is fake news. Sorry for the misinformation everyone! I tried to remove but I am too late.

Nico didnt win the starting job at UCLA? Wow.

“Sankey went back and said no to the 9 games, but still wants the B1G to agree to the 5+11 model.” If Tony is smart, he will not budge and leave it at 12 teams until the ACC and SEC agree to go to 9 conference games. Without extra autobids and the current conference schedule discrepancy, the BIG is at a huge disadvantage. That extra $8M would have ended up mostly in the SECs pockets last year. With the BIG getting essentially nothing and Illinois getting hosed. I hope Tony is smart and just sits on his hands. The SEC by far has the most to lose in the current format, so just hang out and make them suffer.

This just keeps getting more bonkers! 24 or 28 teams now?? 8-5 teams everywhere in the playoff? No thank you. https://duckswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/ducks/football/2025/08/16/oregon-ducks-big-ten-college-football-playoff-expansion/85690806007/#

Highlight film looks positive. This kid looks to be an elite athlete for his size.

I lived in Raleigh from 2011 through 2015. While it may not be a major city yet, it is one of the fastest growing in the US. And there is good reason for that. The climate is fairly mild, outside of a couple hot and humid summer months. The city is highly educated, with Duke, NC State, Wake, and UNC all within a direct shot. At one point I believe Raleigh had the highest percentage of residents holding a masters degree, when compared to all other cities in the US. Cost of living is reasonable, which allows for more activities outside of essentials. In my experience, there is a culture where the city is crazy about their sports teams. The food scene took off while I was living there too. I could see why an NBA would find Raleigh very attractive. I love Raleigh. I have lived in many cities and several different states for work and Raleigh was my favorite (but I did miss seeing Duck games live).

It still seems like every game I watched within the Cristobal era was a 1 score game until late in the 4th quarter. I know that is not the case, but it still feels that way. It is difficult as a fan to watch games and think, "are they going to find a way to lose this?". I think the turning point for me was the Cal game at home after the COVID year. Oregon won that game, but the offense was flat out terrible. The fans were booing the play calling and IIRC Mario was upset because he thought they were booing the players.

Nice article! I am so glad we somehow ended up with Lanning out of all this. It was worth all the nonsense from Cristobal and Taggart. "Do something"? What a joke that was! However, Taggart did have the offense humming. Oregon was averaging over 50ppg when Herbert was healthy that year and there were explosive plays all over the field. How Cristobal took that over and turned it into a pedestrian mid-30s ppg average for three years, will forever stink like low tide in my book. What a absolute waste of talent! I am probably the only one with this opinion, but if someone told me I had to pick between the two right now, I would probably still go with Taggart. At least the team was excited, showed emotion, scored points, and was not continuously dropping games to double-digit underdogs every single season. Oh...and actually running out the game clock when the opportunity arises, instead of fumbling the game away.

Huge commitment.

I am in line with this thinking. Iowa and UW are the two toughest games and are on the same list. Indiana will take a step back. USC still has major problems on both lines. And I am not convinced that Maiava can make a decent decision in crunch time. Ducks by 3 scores.
