Wasn't this time of year in the quaint, placid past known as a "quiet period"?

The BIG consists of Ohio State, Michigan and I can't even keep track of how many Mountain West teams. I mean, Purdue? Really?

They're saying some nice things now...

I just don't get all the controversy about this. To think that he was failed by Oregon is to assume he was a great, or potentially great, player who, for some reason no one can name, was denied a fair shot. Why would the coaches deliberately overlook a player who could improve the team? This happens all the time; players are overrated, don't live up to potential, can't produce when the spotlight shines, whatever. It's nasty, but that's what competition is all about.

Why not acknowledge where the money and power is these days, and have two big conferences, the Fox Conference and the ESPN Conference? Playoff seedings would be based on TV ratings, not won-lost records or the "eye test".

Sports is not nice. It’s about winning and losing: games, roles, positions. If Thompson lost out in the eyes of the coaches who have been watching him for three years, that’s harsh, but part of the cruelty of sports. i truly wish him all the best somewhere else, and see zero evidence that he got shafted or was treated unfairly in Eugene.

Great accomplishment! BTW: re the post headline, it's "Rimington" not "Remington".

More scholarships for positions of greater need.

Can we assume these portal entries come as no surprise to the coaches? Perhaps are even at the recommendation of the coaches? Or, can they come out of the blue?

David Marsh, I know exactly what you are thinking and feeling; great piece of writing. I've had to learn over the years to force myself, against my natural inclinations, to not let my emotional life hinge on a bunch of strangers over whom I have no control. It's been difficult, but I've gotten to the point where I'm not for days replaying the devastating losses on a doom-loop. It may cut down on the highs, but it certainly minimizes the lows.

Wait...there's still an NCAA?

I've had the football snatched away by the Ducks too many times. I deliberately try to tamp down expectations for games like last night's just so I don't suffer as much the next day. If the big day finally happens, it happens, but I'm not going to stress myself out by getting too amped up for any one game.

What is this football you speak of?

That same play for Johnson, a run to edge then cut back inside, has worked over and over and over.

You called it Log Haulin.
