Wellllll, his head coach was fired, so he wasn't completely wrong.

Popo Aumave to Carolina Steven Jones to Jacksonville Casey Rodgers to NY Giants Taki Taimani to Minnesota

He was pegged to be a starter this year. As you said, hopefully, Roberts knows something we don’t about a nose tackle transfer.

I haven't seen a single mention of ducks getting signed as UDFA. Every year we have about five. We're there really none this year?

A bit of a surprise that Ben Roberts hit the transfer portal. I thought he had a pretty good Spring game. It makes one wonder if there isn't a defensive lineman nose tackle coming in the portal, hopefully Harmon.

Wow Jon, thanks for posting that. Those issues, in particular, rematches, pretty much assure that the field has to grow to 16. Do you favor more in the playoff? I do, to 16... No rematches; I've seen enough of Beavis...

Wowsa. I loved his improvement, but perhaps he saw too many ahead of him? Not one I wanted to lose, and perhaps freeing up a scholarship for a portal nose tackle? (Harmon, please!)

Oregon football defensive tackle Ben Roberts entering transfer portal WWW.OREGONLIVE.COM The 6-foot-2, 310-pound Roberts made two tackles and blocked an extra points while playing 34 snaps on defense and two on special teams last season

EUGENE, Ore. — The Big Ten Conference has released the opponents for Oregon’s 2024-25 conference season. Each Big Ten institution will play a 20-game conference schedule, playing three schools both home and away, while facing 14 teams once. Of the single-play opponents, member institutions will play seven at home and seven on the road. The Ducks will play UCLA, USC, and Washington both home and away next season. Oregon’s home-only opponents are Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Nebraska, Northwestern, Purdue, and Rutgers. UO’s road-only opponents include Iowa, Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota, Ohio State, Penn State and Wisconsin.

Wasn't it McShay that said before being drafted, that Justin Herbert would get a head coach fired? He has a lot of opinions, just no knowledge to back them up.

Yep, and unfortunately, Ohio State is not out of the picture. But it comes down to the total package, and Oregon may not have enough NIL budget to afford Harmon. After what I saw of the defensive line in the Spring Game, I am sweating it a lot less. We have some very talented young guns at defensive/nose tackle at Oregon. It is "good-or-good" to me as to whether we sign Harmon. I do not want to scare away great young talent either....

Agreed. When I wrote "eyeballs," I meant primarily TV and later on--streaming.

We may want cannon fodder, but with this level of upheaval coming who's in and who's out won't be dictated based on "because they were there first." Not to say that some of the valuable markets don't have cannon fodder teams. Once the have a target conference size then everything gets re-evaluated. One time relegation exercise based on historical prestige, market size and a dash of "what have you done lately." Lastly to all. I don't think fans in the stands will be a big deal going forward in determining market size. With a 40ish team league it begins to be about national viewership/brand cache as pretty much any game will be viewed coast to coast.

I think Bo was very astute at reading defenses, and changed calls at the line of scrimmage often with great success. You can’t undersell that aspect of the game. I am not familiar with Dillon’s body of work. He has been a winner wherever he goes, and I expect that he will manage games quite well for our Ducks I don’t know enough to talk about ceilings, or floors, for players. I do know that Bo resurrected a career that was in turmoil at Oregon. He battled back and ended up the #12 pick in the draft. Overcoming adversity is what the QB position is all about. You are a hero, or a scapegoat. I hope that he thrives at his new job.
