There is no explaining the legendary Roger Sprague. You can only experience him.
That said, Roger Sprague made more sense than @Kimber45 does.
We decriminalized a lot of drugs here.
We voted in a measure to decriminalize all recreational drug use and send people to rehab instead. Governor just said we can’t pay for the rehab. Once it warms up, it should be a drug haven here. I am trying to figure out where to move.
As a guy who sat in Autzen during the 80s with maybe a quarter or a third of the stadium filled, and who watched Greatful Dead concerts in Autzen as well, and who knows how great the state of Oregon was back in that era, it's refreshing to hear you and the ratherbeyachting gent throw at least a tiny little bit of shade towards what the State has become. I left around ~2005.
Now for your Iowa State fans, this thread was renamed to "Dis the Ducks". Winning begets a knowledgeable fanbase who understands good natured shite posting - something ya'll obviously don't have much experience with - but nobody here is going to strap on a jock for the game, so have some pride in your team and get to dissing please.
Dude, it's the "Grateful Dead." Jeebus, our fans are the suck.
I've been told that other than being dry and lifeless the only big difference between Autzen stadium and a cactus is the pricks are on the outside of the cactus. And that Oregon players always eat their food straight from a box because they choke when it's in a bowl.
Hey, where do you think Oregon will end up after the Pac-12 implodes. I think this year hurried it along, we're looking at poaching some teams, say maybe Arizona and ASU. I mean you can stay the course with Larry Scott of course, but wow those TV deals are getting nuts aren't they?
What do Oregon fans think of letting BYU in? I know the California schools would never agree to it, but what about Duck fan?
This came up some time ago. I think one of the issues with BYU was that they wouldn't play on Sundays. Also, I think the talk included BSU as the PAC would only add "pairs" if they were going to make changes. Probably 2 pairs making 2 eight team divisions. Plus, I think both would have to do serious upgrades across the athletic and academic departments to qualify for the PAC-12.
Oklahoma and Texas would make a great add in my opinion.
Unless the current landscape changes dramatically, I don’t see those to leaping to the PAC 12.... at all.
OU and Texas will never go out west and play late night games, no one east of the rockies gives a crap about the Pac 12.
Whether or not the Pac ever set out to be an elite academic conference they are one...at least they have several elite members. I just don't see the California schools (or UDub or even CU for that matter) being cool with adding BSU, they"ll never get there academically. And I think academics is also code for anti-religious sentiment. It would be pretty hard for a Stanford researcher to take anything coming from BYU seriously, imo. No offense to Mormons but the California schools are just not going to partner with BYU.
I'll tell you an AAU institution that would make a great research partner with Cal...The Iowa State University of Science and Technology...
And I think adding Andy Reid as an offensive consultant would be a great addition to ISU's staff.
To say this ship has sailed is an understatement. OU and UT aren't going to the PAC to make less money, have less control and get less exposure. That could always change back, as 10 years ago things were dramatically different, but the PAC is not going to be poaching any good teams from P5 conferences.
OU and UT are making damn near Big 10 and SEC money and get to run the conference. How much was serious and how much was saber-rattling 10 years ago to get the rest of the league to fall in line is debatable. But the way things have turned out OU and UT could probably not get the current combination of power in the conference and money they have right now in any other conference.
The PAC is a great conference, and I hope it stays in good shape, but as things stand right now it is far more likely to be poached than to do any poaching.
No one on the west coast gives a crap about the pac12 as well.
