    continuing the branding debate:



    the video also mentioned mascots, and whenever a poll of the most recognized college mascots is released, the Oregon Duck comes out on top, More branding

    I know that Oregon-haters will say that's just style-over-substance, and it would be except for the reality that Oregon has led the Pac-12 in substance for a couple of decades, if substance = championships + winning%

    (by the way, in the last 20 years, Oregon has won 5 Pac-12 basketball championships, and 5 Pac-12 Tournament championships. In the same period, OSU/WSU has combined for 1 tournament championship)

    the defense sucks at a historical level though, and in the opener this season, the defense gave up 536 yards....in the NFL, where the median offense gains around 365yds/game; and only one team averaged more than 400 yards last season, barely

    and Staley is supposed to be a defensive coach.....geeeeezuzzz

    Yup, but it's the only real check and balance that keeps parity in the NFL...... well... .that and the strict salary cap.

    Not every single thing has to come back to the ducks and how it affects them!

    I hear that laying an 80 burger on a team helps with branding.
    Disfiguring ears helps as well.

    Oregon beat Portland State on Saturday, 81-7, to set the modern program record for points in a game.

    A Portland State football player had his "ear ripped off" during the Vikings' 81-7 loss to Oregon on Saturday, according to Portland State head football coach Bruce Barnum.

    the Pac-GoneByeBye with 4 teams in his top-11 and 8 in his top-25

    another way to look at it as next year's Big-10 has 6 teams in the top-9; aka bloodbath city

    They should just keep up the tradition and rush the field for every home game..... regardless of whether it's a win or a loss.

    I agree.

    It was a conference of champions...that label was accurate. But that was athletes and coaches. The conference leadership was a confederacy of dunces. Also USC was a mole working to destroy from within and they did a fine job of that

    or, make it like Barcelona and rush the field alongside a herd of buffalo. Losing team has to clean up the mess...and there would definitely be mess

    Going to need to keep S. Sanders from extending plays and throwing to wide open receivers.
