Oregon, Washington ‘Vetted’ And ‘Cleared’ To Join The Big Ten According To New Report​

Conference realignment continues to be the story of college football, with the Big Ten leading the charge.

The SEC made a massive splash by bringing in the Texas Longhorns and the Oklahoma Sooners.

The Big Ten responded with a huge splash, landing USC and UCLA from the Pac-12.

Now a new report from Brett McMurphy has revealed that the conference may be closer than expected to adding two more Pac-12 teams.

The Oregon Ducks and Washington Huskies have reportedly been “vetted” and “cleared” by the Big Ten. While rumors of the conference’s interest in adding the Pacific Northwest schools have been flying for months, this seems to be a more concrete pronouncement.

McMurphy said in an interview with 365 Sports that they are “ready for takeoff,” if things progress in that direction.

Big Ten May Make More Moves​

Rumors of the Pac-12’s imminent demise have been swirling for months, with seemingly conflicting reports every week.

The conference has been desperately trying to secure a new media rights deal, with potential partners coming in and out of the picture.

McMurphy also mentioned that programs like Utah and Colorado could be headed to the Big 12. If that happens, the floodgates would open, clearing the way for Oregon and Washington to leave.

There are any number of ways this could shake out, but the fact that the Big Ten has done the research implies they’re serious about it.

From the program side, there could be tremendous financial benefits for Oregon and Washington to jump ship. On the other hand, their path to a College Football Playoff berth could be significantly easier in a USC-free Pac-12.

Given time is running short on a new media deal, the situation could play out sooner rather than later. And if it does, the Big Ten is reportedly prepared to swoop in.

If it's a tendon in your leg, he's torn it.

Trey Palmer Is A Fibber​

joebucsfan.com May 13th, 2023

Rookie WR Trey Palmer will make Bucs fans smile with his wheels.

Earlier today, Bucs rookie wide receiver Trey Palmer, he of the 4.3 speed in the 40-yard dash, tried to tell the local pen and mic club he’s not fast.

To quote Arnold Schwarzenegger in “Commando” as he said to “Sully” an instant before dropping him off a cliff, “I lied.”

There are few things, particularly in a rookie minicamp, that make Joe exclaim, “WOW!” But Palmer did just that today in Day 2 of the Bucs’ rookie minicamp.

Palmer took the ball in the backfield — Joe didn’t catch if he lined up at running back or if he took a pitch or if it was a jet sweep — but Joe sure saw the rest.

Palmer took off like he was a missile that was just fired. Palmer absolutely blew past defenders as he crossed the line of scrimmage to the right side.

How insanely fast was Palmer? Joe exclaimed out loud, “WOW!” That’s sort of a breach of protocol for reporters but that was just how freaking blown away Joe was at the speed.

Palmer gained about 15-20 yards on the play as he was run out of bounds along the right sideline.

Palmer claimed earlier today he’s not fast. Trust Joe, this dude has serious jets. Serious.

The Bucs said after the draft they were looking to add speed and athleticism. They sure found speed with Palmer. My goodness.

Out of curiosity, how do you judge a program's culture? What's the measuring stick?

Maybe start by winning one-score games (cough, cough, yes I’m talking to you, Scotty-boy)
