My only worry with scheduling Oregon in OOC is that somehow I think they will only do it if all the games are in Eugene and the OSU "home games" get played in Portland. lol Then we don't schedule them. Pretty simple. |

Doesn't have to be that way. There's no rules. Dude they are not going to pay us $1 million to go there and then take something less in return to play at Reser. Maybe there are no rules but that's how it works. Then don't play them. Easy peezy |

Funny how many topics on this board come down to an Oregon discussion?!
WTF cares?
Didn't when they were in the same conference. Don't care now. There are 131(?) other D1 teams to schedule, 67(?) P5 teams.
Should we begin to discuss which B10 & B12 teams not to schedule? I mean it's those invites that caused the whole thing. A school can't accept if they're not invited.

Easy peezy And miss out on a guaranteed sellout and the biggest home gate of the season? As much as I despise them, that's pretty short-sighted. We won't draw anywhere near 38K for a OOC game against Portland State or Montana State. |

I've come to grips with the Mountain Pac. The good news is the MWC will be renegotiating its TV contract too, so if there is some sort of merger, I'm guessing the payout will be north of 5M per team.
I can get excited about regular games against Boise, SDSU, Fresno, CSU, Nevada. Not so much New Mexico or Wyoming but hey...we'll be lucky if they have us!
As for as OOC goes, I imagine OSU will be a hot commodity to schedule. I personally would prwfer OSU ditch Pac 12 vagabonds.

Our future P5 OOC games are Purdue (9/21/24); @ Texas Tech (9/13/25); Texas Tech (9/12/26); @ Ole Miss (9/18/27) and Ole Miss (8/31/30). No reason we can't play these. The others are against FCS/MWC opponents that might have to be rescheduled. osubeavers.com/sports/2013/11/7/future-schedules |

Oregon's not going to pay us a huge guarantee if we play them on a home-and-home basis, which is the only way we should play them. When they play up here, we give them $100k for expenses and keep the rest. When we play down there, they give us $100 K for expenses and keep the rest. That's how it works. You only get the huge payment, like we did at Ohio State, when there is no return game. Doesn't have to be that way. There's no rules. So Oregon gives us 2 million and we give them 100k... yah, that'd fly. |

But yes, New Mexico sucks. |

We won't draw anywhere near 38K for a OOC game against Portland State or Montana State. You go from playing uo to PSU or MS as the only other option? There are a heck of a lot of mid-level formerly Power 5 teams that we could do home and home games with. I'm thinking uo isn't the only team in the US that we can fill our now significantly smaller stadium with if we're winning. For now, I'm not throwing my hands in the air and saying the only game that can sell out is against the dux. Heck, were not far removed fron a 7-6 season that attendance averaged 42,900. A lot of losing and covid happened between then and now, but is it really that hopeless if we keep winning 10 games or more? I could see if winning drops, but we probably shouldn't go there unless we have to. |

But, really some of the MWC schools travel far better than many Pac12 schools. I could see sell outs once a conference takes hold and you have the top level teams playing each other. |

But it's the only game I'm sure we'd sell out and it would be the biggest gate, because of the cost of the tickets. It would probably be the most attractive game on a season-ticket package as well. And quite frankly despite all the blustering my guess is almost every single OSU fan would go to a home CW, given the option. |

Why? If they keep the traditional schedule they will be best to s%#t with 3+ losses by the time they play us. They will also probably be paying us upwards of half a mil. Take the money, enjoy the win and head off to the conference champ game. It's also an OOC game where we barely have to travel if it's in Eugene. The downsides are we don't get petty revenge over a move we would have made in their place. The upside is money, exposure resume for off season, maintaining tradition and making the ducks look like a joke anytime we win. There's almost zero downside to the game even if we lose we're just losing a game we were supposed to anyways. Doesn't affect our conference record and a loss has very little affect on off season. If they trash us then we were heading to a good post season anyways. All of the financial reasons can be accomplished with a different Pac team. Ducks grabbed money knowing that the only condition was destroying us in the process. I literally want NOTHING to do with them in any sense ever again. I won't read about them, watch them, follow them. They don't exist to me anymore Exactly, eff the fowl. I doubt in 2 years we will have enough players to even make a game with those pos to be competitive. Watch the portal full if beavs start to fill up. Those kids didn't come here to play MWC pasties. A huge group will undoubtedly leave, sadly. As for playing the ducks no, never again. Can you imagine the duck fans playing the little brothers of the valley!! Couldn't stand that scenario, ever!! |
