WCC MBB coaches had a nice parting gift for Gonzaga in its final year in the conference. The only Zag to make the first/second team or honorable mention was Graham Ike.

That list includes 23 players. This is a team that went 28-3. That is some level of pettiness.

I can see that. But the Texas Tech deal was made under previous conditions, i.e. the former Pac-12. The Texas Techs are never coming back to Corvallis unless there is a radical change to OSU's conference situation.

It's not always going to be like this. If that were the case, then sure, end it now. But it's not. Oregon's power will wane at some point. Meanwhile, if OSU has any hope to get back in the Power mix in 2030, it cannot run from anyone. It has to prove it is worthy of any challenge.

That was the deal it made with itself when Oregon went to the Big Ten. It's meant to partially offset its half share of annual revenue from the Big Ten.

The body bag games.

You’re right. It’s more profitable to travel and collect a check (forget about the plane, hotels, groceries, and semi to haul gear) instead of selling tickets for a home game. Everyone should play 12 road games!

Then we’re back to the 70s and 80s. Again, you think people are paying for season tickets with 4 Pac 12 games, Idaho and New Mexico at Reser?

They won’t come to Corvallis. If they’re looking for a game, they’ll want OSU to travel.

Please name these fish that are willing to come to Corvallis with similar cache to Oregon.

In a home and home? No you can't. How do you see season ticket sales faring with 4 Pac-12 home games, Idaho and New Mexico? Texas Tech and BYU might be the last P4 schools to visit Corvallis in a while. Ole Miss will almost certainly buyout its trip to Reser.

OSU needs Oregon, plain and simple.

I second this.

In journalism, we're supposed to try to keep our emotions out of the story. Sorry, Greg Biffle's death hits a little hard for me. Probably wrote 100 stories about him in the mid-2000s. You won't find a nicer athlete. Loved the Northwest. Gave back to the sport. Parents were terrific.

RIP Biff.

All those Griz fans at Providence Park (hi, @billoram.bsky.social) are a little stunned when Portland State scores on the second play of the game to take a 7-0 lead over Montana.

Viks are 34 1/2-point underdogs.
