I just got back from watching the early matinee at the Delta Center. All I can say is wow!!! Dayton was down 17 points with 7:30 left in the game and finished the game on a 24-4 run to win by three points. March Madness, there's nothing like it.
$$$ baby. I call this a win-win-win situation. Ducks gets the win and the hype (which is what they crave- win) Beavs and Cougs get $2M more to share (win), and Beavs and Cougs getting money from a Duck win, pisses off Duck Fan (win).
Duck fan here who is happy as can be for OSU & Wazzu to profit where they can. I feel awful at the situation they were left in and hope they emerge on the other side intact and thriving again.
This duck fan is fine with trading wins for win shares. Btw, the big ten portions aren’t going to be too shabby in case you hadn’t heard. $26 million a year from the CFB playoff?!?
Don’t deflect Todd… we already established that you think the Beavs and Cougs being kicked to side is laugh out loud funny. Just answer question. Are Maryland and Rutgers still getting more? Yes or no? It’s not that hard (well, for most of us anyway)
Ok, then when the money runs dry, OSU becomes Portland State. Beaver fans should demand more from their athletic department, as well for their “student athletes”. Wake me up when the short-sightedness ends.
Yeah… you’re right Todd. The Beavs and Cougs getting kicked to the side in this realignment is laugh out Loud funny. There you go Dick Allen, proof that #3 is a win. Todd is just that kind of Duck Fan. Not the kind that wants to win games and have success on the court, field, etc. the kind that thinks it’s funny what happened the Beavs and Cougs. Unfortunately, Dick you have to take the good (you and your friends) with the bad (Todd). My advice, don’t be a Todd.
Sorry, no blame to,ADs on this. Squarely on university presidents in their inability to hire a qualified Commissioner and more importantly their inability to recognize incompetence.
Trust me Todd. Nobody is worried about you, especially me. You just happened to be the first Duck Fan who proved #3 right for me. Typical Duck Fan response saying Beavs should have cared more ooorrrr… maybe they should’ve had a billionaire alumnus who’s willing to part with $1B of their own money and use the power of their sports business to make them relevant. Without that Todd, Ducks are in the same place. Not because they cared more. Phil cared enough for all of you, period.
Poor Todd....you are so stuck on your precious athletics and $$$ that you have lost site of the main reason for a University....Education. Sure I will miss the Pac-12 like everyone will and should. The Conference of Champions. No matter where we (OSU) end up we will always be an institution of higher learning and our student athletes will get an education....not frequent flyer miles. If they don't want that they can always go to UO. And by the way, PSU is a pretty darn good school serving a very grateful population of students.
I always like the crowd pictures the best....although that close-up of the shoe is pretty cool. Nice job Emma. Had the Ducks advancing so my bracket is still looking good. How about you JC?
It was quite the win. I was wondering if South Carolina was going to be ready. Arizona was. Colorado was last night. I wonder if Wazzu will be. The PAC-12 seems ready.
Ya baby.... This is what March is all all about... We have one of the top coaches in the game (if not the best) add the PK3 (Phill, Penny, Pat) and the other teams shoud feel weak in the knees. You can never overlook or take for granted our Ducks. More work to do.. head down, execute and finish!
Great photos,great crowd, great win for the Ducks.
Emma Kappel rocked that.
I think the ducks will be playing to win the next one especially for their coach
Going to be fun to see what happens.
(Again,) underestimate Dana Altman at your considerable own peril.

Madness!!
When Dante is right, the Ducks usually win. Not sure what got into Cuisinard, but I'll take more of it. Hella more. Go Ducks!
Dante is fun to watch.
Playing in front of his Grandmother.
Good for him.
He will remember this day for the rest of his life.
Great photos! Kudos to Emma👏👏
She crushed that.

Well, I’ll buy 2 out of 3. I don’t know any Ducks who mind the Beavs getting some bucks.

Watching the Cougs just after halftime vs Drake. Close game. Ducks played well, hoping the Cougs do the same!

Hadn’t heard. Good for you. I just heard that Rutgers and Maryland are getting a lot more than the Ducks and Huskies from the Big10. Did that change?
Don’t deflect Todd… we already established that you think the Beavs and Cougs being kicked to side is laugh out loud funny. Just answer question. Are Maryland and Rutgers still getting more? Yes or no? It’s not that hard (well, for most of us anyway)
Listen, it sucks that the NW can’t hang out together. But OSU and WSU want to make themselves out as martyrs. No. Not playing.
They deserve to get more for six years and then Oregon and Washington get equal shares.
The numbers in the first decade approach a half billion for the Ducks.
Good for you guys! Maybe now you can pay for your own facility upgrades and stop living off of the Knight Family estate.
I doubt any national program like Oregon can survive without the help of wealthy alumni.
I remember sitting in Autzen when the student section chanted “we’re number 8”.
I appreciate the effort and support of Phil Knight and other donors.
Without them this would not be possible.
And? It’s still MORE than the Beavs are getting. Who cares?
Beavs are getting "student athletes" not flight attendants. That's what we care about. Sorry Todd....money isn't everything. We have people.
Ok, then when the money runs dry, OSU becomes Portland State. Beaver fans should demand more from their athletic department, as well for their “student athletes”. Wake me up when the short-sightedness ends.
And tell me again what you’re getting in the big 10 beaver fan? 😁
Beaver fans should be able to use the extra cash as tissues if they don’t find a conference in two years. Lol.

Don’t be sad. Blame your athletic department for not trying harder. I’m just some effing guy. Don’t worry so much about me….
Sorry, no blame to,ADs on this. Squarely on university presidents in their inability to hire a qualified Commissioner and more importantly their inability to recognize incompetence.
I’ll give you that, Jim. This could have all been avoided. The Beavers and Cougars then decided to let the Uber drive away without a destination.
Since you seem to be an expert on this topic. Where was the Uber supposed to go, that the Beavs and Cougs foolishly passed on?
Trust me Todd. Nobody is worried about you, especially me. You just happened to be the first Duck Fan who proved #3 right for me. Typical Duck Fan response saying Beavs should have cared more ooorrrr… maybe they should’ve had a billionaire alumnus who’s willing to part with $1B of their own money and use the power of their sports business to make them relevant.

I’m touched.
You provoked such a comment with your win win win post.
Can’t you just tip you hat?
Why would you write this trash?
To get you to respond. #winning
Well good for you.
That’s a strange reason to act like a 13 year old though.
Soooo, I take it you disagree that the Ducks win today was a win-win or is it just the 3rd win you disagree about.
Soooo, for me it was a win for the Ducks.
The other issues are frankly irrelevant.
Are the Beavs in the NIT?
If so I will root for them.
Doesn’t bother me at all. I’ll take the winning over the $$ any day! Glad the Beavs and Cougs are getting more money.
It’s not all angst and anger amongst us my friend. There is a certain despair I’ll give you that.
Not really. We don’t care.
I'm rooting all the way to the bank! Go Beavs!
Never bet against Altman in tournament
He's so good in a tournament.
Great Win - keep it goin’!!
GO DAWGS

“PSU is a pretty darn good school serving a very grateful population of students.”
Absolutely… who aren’t playing in the athletics arms race. Next.

I have Oregon-Creighton...
Well they say that if grandma was a bus you could drive her around town and apparently that is true! Nice work
Add another $2 million to the Pac2. Love it. Go Cougs!
It was quite the win. I was wondering if South Carolina was going to be ready. Arizona was. Colorado was last night. I wonder if Wazzu will be. The PAC-12 seems ready.
Wow Couisnard! Great game for his family, and his team. Fantastic pictures Emma- especially love the bw!
