I'm more disappointed. I could care less about the ducks or hearing anything about the ducks. I read in the Oregon Stater some history. In the late 50's when Oregon was the "little brother", the Pacific Coast Conference broke up and OSU was invited to stay with the big guys. Oregon State declined to leave their little brother behind. Oregon on the other hand would not repay the kindness and instead opted for the greedy path and break up of the Pac 12.

My friend is the editor of that magazine. She said that discovering that anecdote, at that moment, was pretty amazing... and it went down as expected with everyone who read it. I hadn't heard it before either.

Yep, we all still have the same priorities we had in the age of leather helmets. And, the world is no different than it was then. Oregon State's last Rose Bowl team was 3-1 in conference standings....hmm, maybe we should go back to that?
