Great news obviously, but besides DM the biggest get would be Poncho coming back IMHO. Regardless, if we got every eligible player back next year (yeah unlikely but we can dream), holy cow would we have an experienced group of starters.

Thank you, Drake, for the take on the Real Bo Jackson and not the Ohio State freshman RB, Lamar 'Bo' Jackson. The Real Bo's career ended far too soon from a hip injury that, with the improvement in medical care, most of today's players recover from to play again. Along with Prime Time, Bo played in the NFL and MLB. Bo is one of his generation's greatest athletes.

Right now, mock NFL drafts generally have him going as one of the top couple pics. And since this kid just keeps improving by the week, I think over the next couple games, his stock is only going to rise. If he goes number two, obviously the downside is that he would go to the Raiders. But, if he is picked as one of the top two or three players in the draft, he's going to immediately have a contract worth about $50 million dollars, with about 60% of that coming in the form of a signing bonus. And while I definitely do not love money, I certainly have a strong appreciation for what it can do. I just can't see him turning down that kind of money, unless we could possibly could come up with some heavy duty NIL cash-o-la, and make sure he gets one hell of an insurance policy. So, if he doesn't come back, who are we thinking that we might be able to pick up to backfill his role?

In FCS PO news, last night our friends, the Montana State Bobcats, defeated the SFA Lumberjacks 44-22 to move on to the semifinals against the winner of today's game, South Dakota at Montana. And 'they' said OBD played a weak schedule! 🤬 Go You Hairy Cats of Bob!

Bear has truly been the standardbearer on that defensive line. In many ways, he has been the loadbearer out there. I'm highly confident that next season that he will bear even more fruit & success by coming back. Clearly he has been able to bear some hardship given that he started at georgia, transferred to USC, and finally found a home here at Oregon. I am highly confident that one more year in Oregon is going to allow him to bear & reap some significant fruit leading into the draft next year. (Sorry, but I just had to try and get in on some of the corny and funny "bear" crap flying around here),

The Athletic reports that he is open to new coaching gigs outside of Utah...

Would you expect any college football playoff semi-final game to be an “easy game”? Oregon will be by far the most talented team that Texas Tech has faced all season and they will have had an extended layoff heading into that game (which we saw was not an advantage last year). I like their defense front 7 but their offense does not scare me one bit. Their QB is prone to turnovers from what I’ve seen and Oregon has a good secondary. If Oregon executes well and Dante Moore is on, we can beat any team in the country, IMO. I know the team needs the rest and recovery, but the playoffs cannot come soon enough for this fan…

Bear got his revenge against USC, now let us hope he gets revenge against his other former team in the national championship game… [Note: I don’t think that Bear had anything bad to say about Georgia or the coaches during the interview I posted above but he was clearly unhappy with what went down at USC…]

There is a lot of tragedy in all this. Moore’s family is caught in the fallout with their lives being turned upside down and inside out. The current Michigan players and incoming recruits must now decide whether to stay or go.

I think it's likely that Moore is clinically depressed.

He was a great coach......will be missed by those that love college football.

Rivals have one rule over everything else. Never give your opponent their full due. Doing that is like hugging a porcupine.🤮

While acknowledging TT will be a tough opponent, at least they, too, have to travel across the country to play this game so no disadvantage to OBD. After that game, anybody can win any of the games so, we’re in it. Can’t wait to see this through, and we have every reason to be hopeful and excited. Here’s hoping the Ducks soar this winter.

For the Community lovers out there!

I hope the James Madison huckster follows up after the game. Heck, after the first quarter. Oregon is a couple levels up from Louisville. But hey, they got Billy Napier now!!! Good Luck.

So each school will have access to a thirty million dollar capital line. It's not mandatory, nor does it have any effect on Utah's singular equity deal.

Well at least you are not the bear-er of bad news.

And full of bears?

Well, the numbers are starting to come in. I wonder how this affects Utah's potential deal. Big 12 nearing private capital deal that could raise up to $500 million - Yahoo Sports Only a matter of time before the BIG 2 enter the bidding wars.

Of all the teams from ye olde Pac12, the one I miss playing the most is Utah. I enjoyed and respected the teams that Coach Whittingham always brought to the field. They were never an easy out, and always played their backsides off until the final whistle. Never an easy team to play, but certainly more fun when we won 😁 Much respect sent, I'm wishing Coach Whittingham the best in whatever his future endeavors are. OlCodgerDuck
