Okay, I will ask you, as you're making this an indictment against Oregon, who are the players at all the other schools that weren't great before they showed up, but were coached up? Does Alabama do this? Ohio State, Clemson? Was Mahomes coached up at Texas Tech?

Yeah, I'm fine with the way it worked out, looking at Burrow's college play in total shows that in 2019, a "System" quarterback , won the Heisman. It was a great system under Brady at LSU, but that season was a complete outlier for Burrow. In the NFL, he was having a good season as the No. 1 pick of the Bengals before he was injured, but nothing even close to the record setting season, No. 6 pick Herbert was having for the Chargers.

Whatta you say now, Todd McShay? From NBC Sports Northwest

UC Davis is a good team, after a seasoning opening win on November 25, their next 13 games were cancelled. The Aggies got back to playing on January 22, and won their 4 games before coming in to MKA, to meet the Ducks, who hadn't played since January 24. The game wasn't on the schedule originally, and for the first 3 quarters, the Ducks looked like they might have been better off not adding it, trailing, 46-42. But, Nyara Sabally wasn't going to let the Ducks lose this one; she scored 8 straight points, to put the Ducks in the lead. Erin Boley who had kept the Ducks in the game the first 3 quarters, added 3 points, and the Ducks led 53-46, and wouldn't trail again. From GoDucks.com

When your team hits a dry spell, like losing 3 out of 4, including 2 at home, it's great when the Washington Huskies show up on your schedule, and your team can get back to winning again. From GoDucks.com

I really like the graph about the "green" states, and that Washington is still, "up in the air"

Not only would this team healthy be outstanding, but getting these players back, along with the No. 1 Class of 2021, very nice!

The next playoff team from the Pac-12 is a dubious distinction, but the more important conclusion the writer makes is great to see. "The roster talent will soon be off the charts"

Where is our Scooby? Of course, Scooby Wright was a 2-star for Arizona, and we're talking 3-star's here, how about LB, Jonathan Flowe?

One of the best highlights ever!

Mario does all that you brought up, and that really puts a negative light on all the coaches before, who bought in to the idea tat it was just too hard to recruit to Oregon. Kelly had some good classes, but he generally saw recruiting as a necessary evil, never as a priority. Mario shattered that myth as soon as he got here, by focusing on the areas you mentioned, and others, with enthusiasm and energy.

For the 310th time, Oregon and Washington meet in a basketball game, Oregon won the 309th game, 74-71. The game will on CBS at 1:00. There has been no update on the status of Chris Duarte. Game Notes from GoDucks.com

I like this thought.

If it's the same Executive Committee that hired Scott in the first place, this is a good idea.

Oregon's Women basketball team will play its first game, since beating Washington on January 24, against the UC Davis Aggies, Saturday at 6:00. Game Notes From GoDuck.com The game will not be televised, go here for the Live Stream

After the conference and Larry Scott came to a mutual agreement to part ways, the Conference, and Scott, need to spend their time, before Scott officially leaves in June, finding, and hiring, his successor. From Pac-12.com

I could be naïve, looking through green and yellow tinted glasses. But I would be really surprised if Mario isn't at Oregon for a good, long time. He's a smart guy, knew the $ situation when he took the job, and for the most part his agent took care of the extension. I believe he is serious about wanting to build Oregon in to a football power, that's how he's wired, and I don't see him packing it up, moving him and his family somewhere else, and doing it there. He isn't going to jump like Tucker, at Colorado did, and Mario definitely does not want to be the coach after Saban, at Alabama.

Earlier in the season, the Ducks beat the Huskies, 74-71. Last night, the Huskies again scored 71, the Beavers scored 91. Ducks and Huskies, Saturday.

I remember, Flo.

Which is exactly what happened at Alabama and LSU. We all remember back when the country dreaded the idea of Alabama and LSU playing for the championship in 2012. it wasn't because they were both in the SEC, it was because it would be BORING! And it was, After losing to LSU, 9-6 in OT, earlier in the season, Alabama beat LSU, 21-0 for the championship. But Alabama and LSU have evolved. LSU's offense 2 seasons ago was heralded as being the best college football had ever seen, until last season's Alabama championship team, that averaged 50 points a game! Mario is on the right track, the WR recruiting is regarded as one of the best, as is QB, Ty Thompson. Just follow what Nick is doing, Mario. Recruit some great offensive talent and let them go!
