    How does that play for the Ohio State matchup? Probably able to blame that one on Big10 wanting conference only now.

    *however if Big10 feels good about OSU over Oregon, that is a big one for their playoff chances for 1 or multiple teams if comes down to that.
    Do you honestly think the Oregon-NDSU game is a factor in the conference commissioner/ADs/university presidents' decision on whether to adjust the schedules of the conference football teams? How many of the 12 presidents do you think are even aware of that game on the schedule? And since they're all as big of idiots as us Duck fans that come on here, they probably don't think there's any way Oregon loses to NDSU. I would suspect they're far more concerned about lost revenue from the 36 non-conference games than they are the result of any one game, however damaging it would be to their chances of getting a team into the BCS playoff.

    My term, not his.

    He used phrases like “children with asthma”, “parents and grandparents living with them”, “coaches and their families”.

    Stuff like that.

    So yeah. Groupies for sure.

    Yes. It didn’t take Jim Delaney long.

    If Oregon avoids the non-con pac 12 has a decent shot of getting one, maybe even 2 in. Not the most top heavy conference its close. ACC of course, but they only have one contender.

    Take a shot at a pac12 chipper and back to non-con next year.

    NDSU is not even a top 6 OOC opponent for the Pac-12

    Of course not. Who would be so brash as to suggest such a ridiculous notion?

    What you are seeing isn’t a second wave, it’s still the first because too many places have half assed the protocols and/or reopened too soon.

    Just admit it........you are afraid NDSU is going to beat Oregon. Easy way out is to cancel the game due to COVID.
