  1. I don't know the fine details of the proposal but on the surface it sounds like a terrible idea.
  2. TBH I couldn't care less about what the uniforms are worn on the field as long as the other team poops their pants every time Oregon walks onto it.
  3. If Justin Flowe is back to full strength and stays healthy all season, the two of them will be a nightmare for opposing offenses. The only con? Noah is not likely to stay another year after this one, he'll be a top 10 or 20 pick, so the dynamic duo would be a one season wonder...
  4. I wouldn't say this car is the "most beautiful" but my old 2008 Mazda RX-8 was certainly pretty good looking and so much fun to drive. I have a special affinity for it because it was the first car I bought on my own (brand new as well) after I graduated and got my first job. This car is why I'm fascinated by rotary engines.
  5. USC's going to have problems mostly with their lines (especially on defense). While they might have good quality starters on the OL, depth right behind them is not very good. As soon as those starters wear out in the 2nd half or any of them get injured then USC gets into trouble.
  6. Ideally you win both. That being said, I'd rather take a loss early in the season rather than late as you get time to make up for it with subsequent wins (Oregon plays Utah in the 2nd to last week of the regular season, right before the Beavos). While beating Georgia would come with all sorts of media coverage and glamour/prestige, the road still goes through Utah right now for a Pac-12 championship. If you don't win the conference, you don't have any shot at the CFP. Timing is also a huge factor when it comes to impressing recruits...imo a Pac-12 championship and an appearance in a CFP or NY6 game during the recruiting signing windows would have more impact than a win over Georgia way back in week 1.
  7. Maybe. But if we take Dillingham's words literally and the offense he runs is indeed fast paced then I'd put more weight on a QB's ability to quickly read the defense and go through progressions. I'd say Butterfield is better than Thompson in that aspect right now, scrambling is certainly important but I think the QB just needs to be capable of scampering 10 yards to be enough of a threat...something both Thompson and Butterfield are able to do.
  8. 28 yards per catch? This kid lives on long bombs all day!
  9. Oh man, I live in a 7 person household...2.5 bathrooms would be the absolute bare minimum to survive for us (and we do) lol
  10. Harrison Taggart is impressive in this context given that he plays linebacker...
  11. I'm not invested in the number of plays per game so much as the scoring average and consistency. If Dillingham's offense averages 38+ ppg and doesn't vary too much from game to game in this first season, that's a big step in the right direction.
  12. Then you'll want to avoid Texas lol
  13. At the very least it will help teams make high school recruiting a bit more predictible...
  14. KT is simply pointing out the obvious out loud. I mean you could tell Mario lost the team in the last 3 weeks of the season based on how they were performing.
  15. I don't think Dillon intentionally tried to make a dirty play but he went at Payton in an extremely aggressive and sloppy way, an ejection was warranted. Hopefully he learns something from this.
  16. One has to wonder how Husky fans are trying to spin their sour grapes regarding Adams right now.
  17. I also liked how he celebrated with the make-a-wish kid on stage, that was fun to watch!
  18. I saw this article earlier this morning and agree with just about all of it save one small point where the author thinks Ty has the slight lead for QB2. Based on what I saw in the Spring game I think Butters has the lead for primary backup at the moment.
  19. I like Rashada but 6'4" and 175 lbs?? Someone get that kid a sandwich!
  20. Bladder control issue?? Or perhaps an unhealthy addiction to overly spicy food?
  21. He was busy fighting off pancreatic cancer Thankfully it seems that he has a very optimistic prognosis and recovery going on, sending good thoughts to an excellent Oregon duck! Jaylon Redd had pancreatic cancer, but now he’s ready to chase his NFL dreams: ‘I’m ready to go’ WWW.OREGONLIVE.COM After successful surgery in January, Redd has been working his way back into physical condition in hopes of catching on with an NFL team.
  22. I echo others here that it's likely DL is rotating the QBs for a couple reasons: continued and fair evaluation for each with comparable personnel to work with and to keep each engaged to minimize transfer risk. That being said, I think it can't be discounted that maybe Butters is starting to flourish in the kind of offense Dillingham is putting together. He's the only pro-style QB (top 5 in his recruiting class) in what's claiming to be a fast-tempo pro-style system, plus he has an extra year in the college ranks over TT.
  23. This kid's build reminds me of Juwan Johnson, big receiver that will cause all sorts of matchup problems for DBs, great pickup. Reclassifying as 2022 is great for the WR depth but I was under the impression that Oregon's at their scholarship limit. Does that mean we'll see a transfer soon?
  24. I do agree that kids and many adults can make questionable decisions. But I'd like to think that blue chips that were/are ranked as high as Justin typically have a reasonable support system around them to help make the best practical choices, otherwise he probably wouldn't have gotten to 5* status or survived this long into his collegiate career. Leaving a perennial Pac12 championship (and fringe CFP) contender with prime choice defensive coaches for a Miami program in a complete rebuild phase would seem to be an easily identified bad choice for him.
