I had heard there may be problems with UH hosting the Oregon game, and this story certainly points that out. It's unclear from the story how conference realignment might affect the UO-UH game, but notes that it is to be played in a 15,000-seat field that is temporarily being used while a new UH stadium is built. I bet there will be at least 15K Duck fans making that trip.

In case you missed it over the holidays:

Brandon Dorlus will cap his Oregon career with a 57th game, including his third New Year’s Six bowl.

Hope you all have happy and safe holidays without too many wars.

Time for me jump back in the sleigh and continue on. Needs me some cookies.

Iffy's teammate at St. Francis. Do they have room for another CB this class?

A little Christmas edition of the DSA Inside Read:

This is has been longstanding process and cannot be fairly attributed to only USC and UCLA unless you are only talking P12, and even then, it's far more complicated. Still, a good op ed, even though it ignores the slow grind and exponential acceleration of the implosion. I'm old enough to recall the ACC adding the likes of Miami, BC, Syrac. to add TV revenue, recruiting footprint, money etc. The B1G added long time ACC members Maryland et al for the same reasons. Then the SEC ATM and later TX and Okl.
Time for leadership and creative thinking-- or just let the "invisible hand" deal with it?
Happy CFB Holidays, ya'll!

UW not only did not “deliver a notice of withdrawal before August 1, 2024” in violation of the bylaws, it explicitly disclaimed that it was doing so, and explicitly advised that UW would remain a Pac 12 member through August 1, 2024.

I assume UO and the others did the same.

Funny how Wilner, Canzano, and the rest never mentioned what the departing schools actually said.

Merry Christmas to all.

Only Colorado has a higher ranking than ASU, coming in at No. 1 on the list.

Lanning is killing it in recruiting. Our expecting early signing is expected to be fantastic. Have our expectations become so high that we just cant get excited unless we get three 5 star recruits? participation is at a low level. I keep coming on here to see if there are new comments. But there are just a few comments a day.

PAC 2 got a better deal than many predicted based on this early report. I wish them Godspeed, and hope they keep the conference alive in some fashion.

Sorry if this has been posted but I just read that Nolan is down to Ole Miss and the Ducks.

Once again... sorry if this old news.

So...

I've tried hard not to knock any of the kids that play college football.

They try their best and I have never talked them down.

However, now that almost every one of them is a pro...I'm starting to rethink that program.

In that light, and still trying to be as nice as possible, can anybody explain to me the love affair with DJ?

I'm sure that he is a great kid, but I cannot see why he is consistently mentioned/ranked among the top portal guys (like in the Top 25 or so).

High school aside, I just cannot see that based on his CFB play.

After all of his time in college, are teams still looking at him based on potential?

School me, please.

four teams teams at 9-2 (with UA's 2OT loss at home, last night) and 3 at 8-3 during non conference games. Some big wins, some unexpected losses. Let's hope the LA schools continue to play the way they have been while visiting Eugene this coming week.

They can throw a bunch of schools together, give it the Pac-12 branding and it still won’t attract a ton of viewers. The spin released by those two schools really shows one thing: their intent all along was to take the earnings of the other schools because they were frustrated at their own unattractiveness.

With the obvious strengths of The Ducks, just what does Lanning use to make the overwhelming favorites play all out n this game?

And Johnson. Sounds like everyone is in Seaton's ear.

Josiah Molden's name comes up, but this kid at Lakeridge is gonna be a beast. Plays RB now, but will probably be two way next couple of years. Check out the offer list (Rivals doesn't have a bio yet).
My nephew played at LR til' last year and told me about him.

Might be out for the season. That really sucks.

Love to see the many hustle plays from this young man tonight.

As of this minute ESPN has us as #3 and CBS Sports #4.
