In a Ted-Lasso-in-reverse move, LSU is going to hire Jose Mourinho

Prediction is very difficult, especially if it's about the future. - Niels Bohr

After watching a day's worth of college football, I've seen a boatload of puzzling play calling, poor quarterback play, lousy tackling, and questionable clock management. It all ain't happening just with the Ducks.

If you think the Ducks are offense-impaired, you should watch Iowa. I've seen good parts of a couple of their games and their prevent offense makes Oregon look like a pale imitation. Lots of (all?) teams have issues, not just Oregon. Hell, neither LSU nor Florida could play defense worth a lick.

Arizona holds open tryouts mid-season. Good grief. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/13/sports/ncaafootball/university-of-arizona-football.html

It was a win. Nobody got hurt that I noticed. The uniforms were very cool. The game was played after most people were asleep.

Is there a prize for worst prediction? Asking for a friend.

Well...meh.

I think that's right. The Ducks are not up and down, not inconsistent (except for one game). They're just not very good. Why is the question.

No more bye weeks...too much exposure to coaching.

I can't wait for 2023.

Gettin' ugly in the crowd. And in my living room.

Long way to go.

It's a long, long way from over. C'mon, games ebb and flow.

The booing has commenced. Booing AB, the play call, the situation in general?

I have a couple of sieves in my kitchen. I don't need to see one in Autzen.

Charles, getting up in the middle of the night to keep things on the proper path is above and beyond. We do appreciate all you do.

I find it plausible that JoMo strongly believes it’s time for a new QB (and his full offense) and MC overrules him. That would make for certain friction.

Maybe more important, do we have JoMo?

In honor of that split championship, Husky retro uniforms consist only of the top half, just the jersey, paired with Miami pants.

He's an impressive kid in so many ways, and mature way beyond his years. Wish him the best and hope he can hold onto his ideals.

Those whom the gods wish to destroy, they first make optimists. Oregon 45-17, 1, 3, 350

Those uniforms are completely cool. I'm sure the kids (once they get off my lawn) will totally love them. This is one more thing that sets Oregon apart - no one else has the design chops Nike has - and I think it's a great advantage to put these uniforms to work. That helmet is awesome. Winning would help, too.

I know someone whose father's friend works with this dude whose cousin said a guy told him... OTH, there really are such thing as black swans.

I remember going to the USC campus for the first (and only) time and thinking...this dump is what everyone gets so excited about? I like to hate on USC even more than I enjoy hating on the Huskies.
