Stanford Cardinal podcast with Michael Roberson:

#1 Michael, how frustrating has it got to be that the Cardinal lost in a close one point game to the Arizona Wildcats last Saturday at Stanford Stadium.

#2 Stanford quarterback Aston Daniels threw for 14-26 for 198 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions. Daniels tried to get some offense going but the Wildcats were able to cover that much better.

#3 Daniel needed more time to throw against the Wildcats defense but it was a struggle talk about how much pressure he got in the pocket.

#4 Stanford running back Sedrick Irvin had ten carries for 66 yard and a touchdown. Did Irvin get pushed back on some of his rushes last Saturday.

#5 The Oregon Ducks are no slouch their headed for Stanford for this Saturday the Cardinal have home field but the Ducks have been cleaning up winning four straight games and have a very pro active quarterback in Bo Nix who can throw all day.

Pac 12 podcast with Michael Wagaman:

#1 Jerry since last week’s Colorado Buffaloes announcement regarding leaving the Pac 12, Pac 12 Commissioner George Kliavkoff has not made any statements regarding the Buffaloes and also with additional departures from Washington and Oregon.

#2 Washington State Cougars team president Kirk Schulz and athletic director Pat Chun said that while it’s disappointing that up to five teams are leaving there is always a possible positive outcome that could unfold. They both are hopeful over the Pac 12’s deal proposal with Apple.

#3 Teams remaining after four teams that have left, Cal, Stanford, Oregon State and Washington State, Kliavkoff will have to do some quick work after this season in getting other schools to join the conference.

#4 In terms of how this works for the Cal the school you cover their alumnus and donors have to be concerned that they no longer will get to see the rival teams especially USC and UCLA.

#5 One interesting note is that Oregon and Washington will be entering the Big Ten on a reduced payout while USC and UCLA will get more than $60 million each for media rights. That’s the rewards of being in the second media market.

#6 Jerry you had a chance to cover two Stanford Cardinal appearances in the Rose Bowl how does this break up of the Pac 12 effect the Rose Bowl tradition.

Pac 12 podcast with Troy Ewers: It gets worse for Pac 12 with Oregon and Washington moving to the Big Ten

Big Ten Commissioner Kevin Warren played a big role in bringing in the Colorado Buffaloes, Oregon Ducks, Washington Huskies, UCS Trojans, and UCLA Bruins (USA Today file photo)

On the Pac 12 with Troy Ewers:

#1 The break up of the Pac 12 continues after Oregon Ducks trustees voted on Friday to accept the move to the Big Ten. The Washington Huskies also will be leaving the Pac 12 to join the Big Ten.

#2 The Big Ten presidents voted happily to vote in Oregon and Washington for the 2024 season and they see a great benefit for their TV coverage having the Ducks and Huskies in the confrence.

#3 Last year the Big Ten got UCLA and USC in the fold and that was the beginning of the crumbling of the Pac 12.

#4 With the Colorado Buffaloes, USC, UCLA, Oregon, and Washington leaving the Pac 12 the conference. At this rate the Pac 12 could be down to just four schools, Cal, Stanford, Oregon State, and Washington State which pretty much would have to move them into other conferences.

#5 It was Big Ten Commissioner Kevin Warren who strongly urged Oregon and Washington to join the Big Ten. With UCLA and USC it gives the Big Ten a strong position for their TV contracts and recruiting for the schools.

On the Stanford Cardinal podcast with Daniel Dullum:

#1 The Stanford Cardinal women (28-4) picked up game one of the Pac 12 Tournament with a 76-65 win over the Oregon Ducks (17-14) on Thursday the Cardinal are coming into March rolling which is really no surprise to anyone.

#2 Cameron Brink once again led Stanford with 22 points she never got intimidated on any of the Ducks double teaming and was a key part of the reason why the Cardinal got the 11 point win.

#3 This past Tuesday Brink was named the Pac 12 defensive player of the year at this rate with her shot blocking could end up getting her the NCAA defensive player of the year.

#4 Taking a look at the prospects of Stanford’s chances of taking this game you could make that prediction as the Cardinal defense allowed the Ducks only nine points in the first quarter and and 15 in the second quarter. The Ducks could never really catch up with the Cardinal after the first half.

#5 The Cardinal are battling with the UCLA Bruins in game 2 of the Pac 12 Tournament the Bruins were defeated by the Cardinal in their last meeting 71-66 at Maples Pavilion on Mon Feb 20th. Will the Bruins be looking for blood in tonight’s game against the Cardinal?

Junior center Cameron Brink registered a notable triple-double while leading No. 3 Stanford Cardinal (21-2) to a 62-54 Pac-12 women’s basketball victory over Oregon Sunday before 5,133 at Maples Pavilion.

The 6-foot-4 Brink accomplished the first triple-double in program history that included blocked shots. She finished with 16 points, 11 rebounds and a career-high ten blocks. It was also the first triple-double in NCAA Division I women’s basketball featuring blocked shots since Tamari Key did it for Tennessee against Texas on Nov. 21, 2021.

STANFORD, Calif. — The Stanford Cardinal (7-12, 2-7 Pac-12) roasted the Oregon Ducks (11-9, 5-4 Pac-12) inside the friendly confines of Maples Pavilion, 71-64.

The first half was a tussle with both teams leading at one time, but never in double digits. As a matter of fact Stanford had the largest advantage (9) with a 7-0 run and Oregon possessed a 5-0 run, but only led 3-0 to begin the contest.

The Ducks cut the deficit to one several times, but had to settle for being behind by five at recess, 42-37.

No player on either squad scratched double-figures; however, Cardinal’s senior forward Spencer Jones led his team with eight points, while senior guard Jermaine Couisnard topped the Ducks with nine points after 20 minutes of action.

Part two of the Pacific 12 Battle presented Stanford going on an 8-0 jaunt and ballooning their lead to 13 within the first five minutes of the second 20 minutes of regulation.

Although the Ducks continued to peck away at the lead, the Cardinal stood tall and won the game by seven, 71-64.

Stanford’s three leading scorers each tallied double-figure points: The aforementioned Spencer Jones finished with 16 points, six rebounds and two steals. Sophomore forward Harrison Ingram contributed 11 points, eight rebounds, five assists and also two thefts. Senior guard Michael Jones offered ten points and five rebounds to help sweep both schools from the Beaver State.

Oregon was represented with three players with double-digit scoring and one with that category for rebounds. Jermaine Couisnard paced all scorers (18), senior guard Rivaldo Soares (13) and junior guard Keeshawn Barthele-my (11). Their senior center N’Faly Dante chipped in 9 points and grabbed 14 boards.

Stanford is next in action Wednesday, January 25, as they host a non conference game versus the Chicago State Cougars, while Oregon goes back to Eugene to host the Colorado Buffaloes Thursday, January 26.
