Maybe this is just the way recruiting rolls with Mr. Lanning at the helm. 😛

The 4* DL is coming to visit this weekend So, that makes the visitor list pretty impressive: Josh Conerly Lebbeus Overton Jayden Wayne Matayo Uiagalelei Riley Williams Mitchell Agude Four-Star DL Jayden Wayne Set to Visit Oregon WWW.ON3.COM Add another elite defensive lineman to the list. Lincoln (Wash.) star Jayden Wayne will visit Oregon this weekend.

Canzano, clearly a smart guy and a quite good writer, was never in the news business. He was an opinion columnist. As such, he had no real allegiance to the facts, but just to his own opinion. I think he early on figured out the click-bait nature of modern "journalism" and played to maximizing the eyeballs. There are a million people offering their opinions on sports; he was one of the better ones, but I won't miss him. I can hear opinions on sports from any barstool.

More significantly, both Josh Conerly and Lebbeus Overton (plus his brother) will be in Eugene this weekend. Open wide the Overton window!

Serious stuff, wish him well.

I suspect Crow will be eating a lot of…crow.

I did it for free. Is the $20 million offer still good?

This is brilliant. I hope it could be made to work. Seems as if athletes are truly employees, then all sorts of labor laws come in play.

NFT auction raises over half-million dollars for Oregon players. I guess I'm glad it's for our team, but I feel as if we're standing at the top of a slippery slope. Let's sing along!

I need a translation from Kliavkoff obfuscation-speak to English.

"...there isn’t many schools where the coaches will lift with the players so that was cool to see.” Come on now, I can tell that Mike Leach never stops lifting.

Good piece about Kupp.

Great post, Smith72. It's totally plausible that too much contact in practice was a cause of some injuries I wonder, too, if "filling the sleeve" came at the expense of flexibility in conditioning.

Open the Overton window wide!

Hmmm...I'm no employment attorney, but I was an employer for a long time. An employer/employee relationship would raise some questions to me, like Kliavkoff"s. Would an athlete's job be employment-at-will? Could he/she be fired? Would individual employment contracts be negotiated? More money for lawyers! Could employers demand non-compete clauses? No portal for you! What would prevent Texas A&M from hiring all the best employees? Will we have the Public Sector Champion and the Private Sector champion going head-to-head in the Scott Boras Bowl? I need to go lie down now.

Keep it up and keep it the way it is, Charles. You can tell from the page views that the policy is working. It's not hard to rephrase, "If you believe Mario is a great coach, you're delusional!" Just change it to, "I don't think Mario is a great coach for several reasons, such as...". It's not that hard, just requires a bit of...decorum.

Don't know if y'all know, but Junior Siavii has met a sad end.

Home talent stay home? Remind me again where Dave Iuli is from.

Always, always, so much talk about USC. So much potential, so much hype. So little achievement. They're like the Notre Dame of the West Coast. I wonder if people under 40 are puzzled about what all the eternal USC chatter is about. They haven't seen much actually happen while they've been old enough to pay attention. I'm not saying USC can't be good, but just wake me up when it actually happens.

But, what about toughness? And physicality? And toughness and physicality? And toughness?

Excellent analysis...Moorhead may have thought, "holy crap, my career has taken a big hit at Oregon. I'm not allowed to do my job, but it will be on my record anyway. Get me outta here."

Jarek Broussard picks MIchigan State over Ducks.

I sent this link to Mario: 11 Signs You're a Bad Boss

Sounds like a lack of institutional control.

That tweet by Florence was last night from Eugene, was it not? Gotta be a good sign.
