I know this would sound crazy to a USC fan... but maybe Oregon doesn't just throw money and outright buy players? Maybe they actually recruit players based on other criteria? Yeah.. no USC fan would buy that. They have always bought players and they don't understanding that players sometimes play for something other than money.

I find it amusing that we constantly live in their heads. At some point their fans need to realize that they need better coaching and players. They are now throwing around money, and are accumulating talent, good for them. They really should be asking themselves whether Riley is the guy to turn all the money into a championship team. From what I can see, the longer he stays, the worse they get.

As if the Ducks are the only team standing between the Toejams and the Promised Land......delusional. If, God forbid, we melt down, there are 20+ other teams better than the Trojans, even in their "renewal phase."

If Championships were won in August, SUC would rival the 60's Celtics! We are coming down to the final month of Delusion Season and SUC once again reigns supreme. Last year they were just one, two maybe five, six or possibly fifteen, twenty plays away from a glorious playoff run. I wonder what 1,2,5,6,15,20 plays it will be this year. They have a mine field to get through just to reach .500. Here's a look at it. Georgia Southern: Their old coach returns with his scrappy little team. I expect Riley to get out coached as he costs his team a few times trying to prove himself. I'm calling giving up a pick six on 4th and goal right now. Michigan State: Jonathan Smith year two will be a dangerous animal. Again expect Riley to be way out coached and possibly even go down. Bring back Helton chant is heard for the first time. At Illinois: On the road against a potential top 15-25 team. I'd book this one as a loss even if SUC brings their A game. Michigan: UM will be looking for a We're back! game and this one would fit the shoe. Hel ton! Hel ton! Hel ton! I can hear it now. At Notre Dame: Again over their heads even bringing A game. At Nebraska: The fifth gauntlet game in a row. This shouldn't be a tough game but will be. As confidence wanes, SUCs B game looks more like their C game and it costs them on the road. Iowa: Of all the teams to try to get right again against, Iowa isn't who you want. A frustratingly disciplined team doesn't go away and again getting out coached. Disappointed SUC fans purchase Helton tee shirts from a savy street vendor on their way home. At OBD: At this point, I almost feel sorry SUC fans. Almost! UCLA: Like a garden rake to the nads, SUC over looks danger beneath their feet and pays the price. After another humiliating season is done, SUC fires Riley, hires Chip and the 2026 Delusion Bowl Champions will be excitedly hoisting that invisible trophy yet again.

I wonder if they could get Further down the tunnel with the Duck in the driver’s seat? Kesey would be so pleased: Keep Duckin’, like the do-dah man! Question to anyone: what happened to the original plan to honor breast cancer awareness? Did the AD make a statement that I missed, or do they just want it to quietly disappear?

They go to a ton of trouble to 'diss us! (But I guess I'm nobody to talk)

The rating per recruit seems to be a more accurate way to measure a class.

New quotes from June, when Oregon was lagging in recruiting and USC fans were loving it. "Are Nike’s sales down? Uncle Phil’s impact/clout seems to be diminishing." "Nike U never wins anything except changing uniforms combinations…." "Yes, other schools are upping their NIL to match what Oregon had been doing all along in recent years. If the Zeroes are not in position to up theirs even higher in response does possibly place it as NIL related. Just very unusual for them to have so many misses on bidding wars with USC, Ohio State, Texas, and Texas A&M to name a few recently." "I think Oregon has been slow to adapt to 2025's recruiting budget norms with so many schools now having large warchests, and it's possible they've been conservative due to the house settlement. Hard to say, but it's glorious to watch." "I think if Phil was pulling back on NIL, the zeroes wouldn’t have grabbed 3 of the top OL, top safety and one of the top RBs in the portal among others. I’m only speculating here but I think Oregon’s recruiting failures are more about a change in strategy around HS kids than a lack of funding. I’d love to be wrong." Trojans Feeling Their Feminine Energy....

Agree! Oregon Leaps Alabama in Updated Recruiting Rankings While you are still dancing, or slapping hands or taking celebratory shots at 11 AM (Pacific), Oregon is leap-frogging Alabama in the latest recruiting rankings. Oregon had the No. 7 class in the nation to start the day. But with the addition of five-star EDGE Anthony ‘Tank’ Jones, Oregon swapped spots with Alabama to end up at No. 6. The Ducks have one of the most impressive classes in the country with only 16 verbal commitments. This list is built on quality not quantity. Oregon’s average commit rating sits at an astonishing 92.47. The class is made up of 87% blue chip recruits.

Turns out DeBoer got tanked! Yay!

Oregon is No. 6 in the nation currently with Rivals, and this class now has THREE edge rushers. It is hard to know "who" is really good, so Danno is recruiting them, and getting them here to find out. It helps to assure a great future pass rush!

Oregon jumps four spots

Looks like he might have been more of a Saban fan.

Tank you, DL. You're a fantastic recruiter.

Good luck with enforcing that. True, but going forward they have to. And a national corporation can compare a celebrity endorsement to that of the athlete that they pay. A few AI Bots could create thousands of followers for a player and maybe that could tip the scales for the payday.

Awesome. Now we have a 'tank' to go with our 'Jett'. We also have a 'Messiah' to go with our 'Immanuel' And we have a 'Prince' to sing along with our leave it to 'Beaver'. Whom did I leave out?

Wow! "In an effort to keep teams from using their collectives to circumvent the $20.5 million spending cap, the terms of the House settlement state that all deals with "associated entities" (essentially collectives and boosters) have to be for a "valid business purpose" and fall within a reasonable range of compensation. A $1 million deal for a player to make a few social media posts, for example, won't be allowed. "Pay-for-play will not be permitted, and every NIL deal done with a student-athlete must be a legitimate deal, not pay-for-play in disguise," CSC CEO Bryan Seeley said Thursday."

Yes... But I think the problem is that not ALL NIL deals required anything of the sort. They just collected a paycheck and signed the rights to use their NIL away but they never actually had to do anything. I know many Oregon players had to make social media posts in support of a product and that should count.

With this schedule, 9-3 feels like a worst case to me. As in, we have a negative QB situation we will still go 9-3 with that schedule.

He is a Rivals 4-Star, and had offers from Oregon, Alabama, Penn State, Georgia, Miami, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Clemson, USC, LSU, etc. etc. I admit to being very surprised at this, as he is from Mobile Alabama, and followed the 'Tide as a fan. Cool!

Nice!!
