    West O, Blum, and banning exile brewery from your thoughts

    Looks like Sapporo bought it in 2017. Maytag saved the brewery and made it what it is but sold it in 2010 after over 40 yrs. https://ecampusontario.pressbooks.pub/gned1478/chapter/anchor/

    NCAA Finances

    It includes all donations, recurring and one time gifts. Click on Oregon. Last year they got 298M in donations. Driven by Nike funding for a new track stadium.

    NCAA Finances

    Yes, especially when you factor in school funding. In the PAC many of the schools have had to subsidize their athletic budgets with student fees and transfers from academics. In the B12 and ISU specifically, these amounts have been relatively small ($1.8M of the $111M in revenue in this report...

    Why OL Development Has Lagged Behind

    I don't really disagree with the recruiting point... basically we had CPR guys starting for as long as they were on the roster including a walk on DL that moved to OL in 2016 (Garcia). But I would argue it's probably a bit of both recruiting and development. You are not going to get a bunch of...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    I think the b10 may add 2-4 more from the pac (oregon, wash, stanford, cal). But I don't think it's automatic. People believe there is much more value in the pac than there is.... UO brand is built by nike. Pre-nike money oregon was very average. They still have relatively limited fan support...

    13-14 Clones vs 22-23 Clones. Who wins

    wow.... tough call. I would lean '13-14 team. But I think it would come down to officiating. If we are allowed to play physical on defense this team could give them problems. But Niang, Thomas, Morris... that would be tough to beat. Really unfortunate NCAA tourney.. that team pushed the...

    Outgoing transfer tracker

    Looks like the only transfer to a P5 so far was Tayvonn Kyle (UVA). I think he was a nice 2 deep guy, but was not going to start in front of Purchase and Tampa. So, I think he just wanted to go somewhere that he could start for his last year. I think he had 2 starts last year, played in all 12...

    ESPN-

    hahah... It's really not debatable which broadcast was better tcu or tex.... the TCU game with fran on the call was significantly better... but if you can't see that, I can't help you. Brand is impacted by casual fans. If you don't understand how conference tv packages drive significant dollars...

    Your missing my point... Two guys named Chris nailed it on IowaEveryWhere this AM. You should take a listen to the conversation if you are interested in the topic. Streaming is not going anywhere and will be the future. But currently it is not as good as linear options for exposure. There...

    I don't have any issues with the streaming. It's just inconvenient to switch between content on ESPN+, YouTube TV, Prime, Netflix, etc. My point is not "game is hard to watch for an ISU fan"... it's that the game has much less exposure on ESPN+ than it would on a linear network. Yes, if you...

    ESPN-

    Agree that the concept is good and a lot of content you simply could not get before is available on +. I like it for that... Don't like having big time match ups on there since the production quality is sub par. I loved the all 22 view for the NCG. unfortunately it was a blow out... but that...

    ESPN-

    that's good... but i would say that is still a pretty low bar. These three are all owned by disney... you will have games on many streaming partners platforms in the future... ESPN+ Peacock Prime (NFL, could have pac?) YouTube (getting NFL Sunday Ticket) etc. It's good that there is an option...

    Ya... it's not ideal. I would like to see some control maintained by the conference on which games are relegated to espn+. Clearly, espn is trying to get new subs. You can't just put ISU vs. western mich on espn+ and expect a bump in subscribers. I think the B12 needs to be careful though...

    If Hall can’t win it? Purdy will..

    agree... 2021 is more of an issue than 2022 in my opinion. I think these changes should have been made even earlier, but at least after 2021. I guess better late than never. I am excited for the new OL coach. Hope the talent is there and we are one off season away from huge strides at OL. But...

    If Hall can’t win it? Purdy will..

    I don't think you can over state the dependence of our scheme on OL play. I agree... very disappointing when you consider the NFL talent at skill positions (QB, RB, TE x2, WR). But, our scheme requires physical play & winning at the LOS. They love moving down the field 5 yds at a time. Once that...

    Ryan Clanton to be new offensive line coach

    3. Likely 2 on offense, 1 defense if we keep the same number on each side that we had before.

    2022/23 Coaching Staff Changes

    Love this hire! I was wondering if they would go after him… hope he can help us get the line to where it needs to be.
