It's Official: Gatlin Bair is in Eugene!
The one way he could get playing time as a freshman is at the X or maybe Y WR spot due to his 6'2" size and track speed. Even if he is just a decoy for DAK, JMac or EStew he is a match-up nightmare. I don't see how an opposing DC can ignore him. He is no longer some talented 18 year old fresh out of HS who needs to grow into his body. Assuming he gets the full attention of Oregon's training staff, weight room and vast strength and conditioning facilities for the next eight months, he'll be ready to contribute by fall. Very excited to see him in the spring game with only four months in the system.

Can You Believe the Growth of Benson and McClellan in Just Four Games?
Justius Lowe was a solid possession receiver but was not remarkable, IMO. He probably would have started/played significant snaps in Coach Bellotti’s days. I wish him luck at his new school. Just goes to show you how much talent Oregon has now across the board.

Michigan Hires Whittingham
Here is my counterargument: Age. He is too old to transition to not just a new team, but a bigger conference and a place where college football matters a lot more than the state of Utah. I don't think he can connect with the kids and bring them to Ann Arbor. You can talk x's and o's all day, but in the end, it is about bringing in the talent. Kalen DeBoer is a good coach, but Alabama's talent level isn't quite the same as with Saban. Brian Kelly couldn't do it at LSU. Mario is surprising me at Miami. I would have thought they would have flamed out by now. But when I saw them play their playoff game, I saw a lot talent on that field. He is bringing in talent even though his offense still sucks. Coach Wit has made a living off of bringing in overlooked 3 star guys and getting them ready to play Mtn West/Pac12/ Big 12 games - not the same as bringing in high 4 star guys from the midwest and playing Big 10 games. Recruiting is always going to be the number one asset of a head coach. The best head coaches would also be the best used car salesmen - think about it. Chip was good here because Nike U. did the selling for him. Not so when he was at UCLA. Chip did well with some good players, but he never got a whole team of them at UCLA. Is coach Wit going to be able to stop kids from going to USC, Oregon, Washington, Nebraska, Penn St, and Ohio St and steer them into Michigan? I don't see it. I think they will play good quality football, but not have the star players to beat the good teams. I predict they go to bowl games every year, and that is their new upside.

North vs South
I have USC as a southern team for a few reasons. First, the weather in November and December - 70 degrees and sunny. Next to the beach, like the Florida schools. The fans dressed in summer clothing. The party atmosphere at their games. The song girls. Their mascot. The receivers catching balls all over the field. Their athletes. They are more like a team a little west of Texas than a team in the mid west.

Can You Believe the Growth of Benson and McClellan in Just Four Games?
Justius Lowe got his chances when Tez got hurt. He looked good out there, very good. But for some reason, he couldn't sustain it. McClellan looks like a star, not a fill in. I think he wins a starting spot next year no matter who else is in there. He impressed me the most of all the Oregon receivers so far. Davison is starting to look like Adrian Peterson, although he isn't quite there yet. He is young and his body is still developing. Give him another year or two and watch what he does.

It's Official: Gatlin Bair is in Eugene!
Should be interesting to see him develop over next season. I don't anticipate he'll get much playing time in his 1st year since he's got a lot of catching up to do. But his redshirt year should be pretty telling about how much impact he'll have on the offense going into his 3rd year.

Why Do I Keep Hearing About Kyle Whittingham to Michigan?
Well Kyle is taking the offensive coordinator from Utah, and the defensive coordinator from BYU. He's not going to coach the bowl game, as originally planned. He's flying to Orlando tonight, to meet with his new team. No transition, no goodbyes. He's now 100 percent invested in Michigan. I heard that Kyle might have been pushed into retirement, mainly because Utah wanted to hand the reigns over to their new head coach, somebody who they feared would take another job, if not promoted this off-season. Not known, but speculated by a few Ute insiders, whatever that means. I will say that this is about as good as Michigan could've hoped for. This late into the game, and with the crap storm of drama. Get away from the toxic Michigan man thing, we see what Michigan men have done the last decade. Heck your most revered coach, Bo Schembechler was a Buckeye😲.

Tosh Lupoi Already Earning his Paycheck from Cal
As far as I'm concerned, he still works at Oregon. He should be focusing on his current job duties before his new job.

HDuck, it may be 14 hours. But he lost the two hours he gained going west on the way over when he came back.

Michigan Hires Whittingham
During Whitt's years at Utah, he was 3-0 vs Michigan including 2-0 in Ann Arbor.

Not sure, but I think that 12:45 am was local Hawaii time which means 10 hours after the 12:30 press conference in Berkeley.

If he goes out and gets a young top level D coordinator like a next Lanning that gets groomed to take over in a few years, UM could be trouble.

Michigan Hires Whittingham
I think he was the perfect hire for Michigan to clean up their act, as he has the finest image. We have an editor for FishDuck.com, who has helped our writers for over a decade, and she is an avid buckeye fan. When urban Meyer left, she knew quite a bit about Urban and Whittingham working together at Utah, and she wanted Whitt to replace Meyer, not Ryan Day,. Even a few years later, she repeated that preference, although I think she is probably happy with last year‘s result.

Michigan Hires Whittingham
Still in the stop gap range. He's in his 70s does he want to coach beyond 5 years? Probably not... But he has enough time to right the ship and make a run of it.
-
Why Do I Keep Hearing About Kyle Whittingham to Michigan?
Well Urban went to Ohio State, and his successor went to Michigan. Who knew that Utah bred future coaches for 'The Game'.

Uniform Reveal for the Orange Bowl
There’s a reason Oregon pops in the graphic below (and on the field), and it’s not because of white and gray. Let’s stick with yellow and green.
