Lanning Love: “Football is Fun Again!”
Oh yes, when somebody says, "I saw you at the game." He really did see you. Back then Autzen was a great place to go for a nap on a Saturday afternoon.

Mariota to Atlanta: Thoughts?
Atlanta reunites Marcus with Art Smith, who was the OC at Tennessee, and now HC with the Falcons. Atlanta could just be biding their time and Marcus is just filling a position. Or they could be trying to start over and thought Marcus-Smith would work. With Deshaun Watson now at Cleveland, Baker Mayfield is available.

Canzano: Never Too Early to Talk Pac-12 Football
My pleasure. I try to incorporate some objectivity, pessimism? into my off season projections, so I'll respect BYU, and EWU is always a challenge. I'm going to believe they don't have another Cooper Kupp at WR for this game.

Holy Cow! Oregon is a Baseball School??
It's truly exciting to have PK Park and The Jane rocking. I thank George Horton for being at the helm when Oregon brought baseball back. But it was time for him to go. Who knows, Coach Was could be a preview of what Lanning could do with the football team Horton and Mario both trended toward the P O philosophy.

Sweet Sixteen: A Bad Day for the West
Absolutely. Like Oregon, the Zags had no Alpha Dog last night. For the Zags it worked out alright for most of the season, their transition game is that good. But Ark slowed it down. Holmgren tried to lead, but it's hard to do that from the frontcourt. and he couldn't match up against Ark's bigs and was in foul trouble early. Holmgren is projected as a high Lottery pick, but unless he puts on 30 lbs, what happened last night will happen in every game in the NBA.

The Officiating in "March Madness" has Been Crazy!
So far, it hasn't hurt any of the teams I've wanted to win, so maybe it hasn't been that bad, but truly there've been some calls.

Three Out of Four ESPN Analysts Predict the Chargers to Win the AFC West in 2022
This prediction comes the day after the Chiefs traded away Tyreek Hill. One of them held on to KC winning it, her logic mainly being they've won it 6 years in a row. But the others go with my thinking. KC traded away their rocket. Every game plan dealt with Hill. 1 0n 1 coverage was ridiculous to even think about, and we all know what he did with the coverage that was used against him, and he also took coverage away from All-Pro TE, Jason Kelce. The Chiefs will get another WR, but it won't be the same.

Coast to Coast Conference - More Money for the Pac-12?
A big thanks for coming up and sharing this idea with us Jon, too bad these kinds of ideas aren't coming from the Pac-12 office. I don't see maintaining the status quo being an option for the Pac-12 if it wants to remove itself permanently from "After Dark" status. The SEC was already the dominant conference, then it added Texas and Oklahoma! The Pac-12 is treading water while the SEC expands even more, The SEC's attitude of doing what's best for them is a big part of why college football has eroded overall, but the SEC doesn't care about that for now. Oregon and USC do not, and should not, go down with the Pac.

Wilner: What are the Questions for Each Pac-12 Team Going into Their Spring Game?
Fortunately, for me Jon, this is the area of the game I am most confident in Lanning coming through. "Effort and energy" seem to seep through the pores of Lanning and his cadre of coaches. I have no doubt that we'll see this is game 1, game 2, and for the whole season. The team will not get over hyped with a W or despondent after an L.

Altman Needs to Find Alpha Dogs
Joe Young was an Alpha Dog, The Final 4 team were all Alpha Dogs, Dillon Brooks led the pack. Pritchard wasn't elite until his senior year, Chris Duarte' and Eugene Omoruyi were both Alpha Dogs, so yes, when D.A. had AD's Oregon won. This season, even at the top of his game, Richardson wasn't quite a match for these others, but if he'd been able to play the whole season the Ducks most likely would have been in the NCAA's again. Altman has another great class coming in, with places for a few more. Last season was down, but I expect that it will be better . It will be interesting if Richardson comes back, I think he'd be fine as a 2.
