  1. This has no bearing on the matter, but I was just looking at the major figures in those big Seattle companies, and came across an interesting tidbit:

     

    Microsoft: 

    • Bill Gates - Harvard
    • Paul Allen - Washington State

    Amazon:

    • Jeff Bezos - Princeton
    • Andy Jassy - Harvard

    Boeing:

    • William E. Boeing - Yale
    • Dave Calhoun - Virginia Tech
    • Larry Kellner - USC (er, that's University of South Carolina 😆

     

    On the other hand, ...

     

     

    Nike:

    • Bill Bowerman - University of Oregon
    • Phil Knight - University of Oregon 

     

    Just sayin'...

  2. DJ to Oregon? ... No. He had his chance, and passed. I agree with those who believe we're good at the QB position, however, I also agree with those who believe in Lanning, and his process/plan. We'll just have to see what happens there.

    DJ to Oregon State? ... Heck No! ... As others have stated, nobody in this conference is getting more outta less then Coach Smith. He'll turn DJ into a real serious threat! 

    DJ to Hawai'i? ... Absolutely. This seems to make the best sense for himself, and for the Rainbow Warriors. DJ needs to excel at a place where the pressure is off, and where he can be the main show. He'll impress if he does well, which will include NFL scouts.  DJ, hit the islands, bruh!

    Setting aside the 2020 season, I decided to take a look at the number of sellout home games during each coaches tenure since the expansion to 54,000 capacity.  Source

     

     

    First up, of course, is Mike Belotti, who already had 7 years under his belt at the previous capacity. 

     

    2002 - 2008: 45 sellouts! (That's every single home game during his tenure, after the expansion in 2002!)

     

    Chip Kelly: 

     

    2009 - 2012: 28 sellouts. (Also every home game in his time as HC, including 2 games with 60,000+!!!)

     

    Mark Helfrich:

     

    2013 - 2016: 22 sellouts ( 2016 saw the end of a sellout streak unmatched in UO history at 110 games over 17 years!)

     

    "Slick" Willie Taggart:

     

    2017:  5 sellouts (slither away, Slick.)

     

    Mario Cristobal:

     

    2018 - 2021: ... 6. (2020 aside, in 3 years, Mariø only had 1 more sellout home game than Slick 🤦🏻‍♂️)

     

    Dan Lanning:

     

    2022 - : 2 (Lanning has the tough task of winning not only games, but some of the faith lost by some fans from the previous few coaches)

     

     

    DL is trending upwards, and I see a packed Autzen, and the beginning of a new sellout streak during his tenure. I could even go as far as to say - If he brings us our first football National Championship, we might see another era of sellouts at Autzen...

     

    One with a capacity of 70,000!

     

    I dream big. 

     

    Go Ducks!!!

  4. Hard to believe that the best offense in the land has failed to score on  a 1-7 Northwestern. Definitely starting slow. I'm sure they will win by 30+. 

     

    Oregon State's loss was disappointing, but that's gonna make next week's game all the better. Washington should now be ranked near where OSU was, which only strengthens our schedule. 

     

    Another surprise game has been Tech vs TCU. I thought Sonny Dykes would have had his team up big by now. I haven't followed Texas Tech this year at all, so I don't know how good their defense is. Could just be one of those Saturdays. 

     

    Georgia / Tenn & Bama / LSU should be some telling games for the SEC. Pretty good matchups there. 

     

    I'm curious to see how K State does against Texas. 

     

    Does Notre Dame have a shot to beat Clemson? I believe so.
