I noticed some RB's with size and no transfer prediction: Antuan Branch, 6'0, 230, UNC Jamari Peacock, 6'1, 220, UVA Gilberto Torres, 5'11, 225, UMASS

If he wants to play baseball, he'd be a great DH.

Offering him the opportunity to play basketball, and TE, seem enticing to him as well as both teams. He and Thibs on the line together would give OC's nightmares, Mario has achieved great success in recruiting, unlike anything at Oregon before, landing Tuimoloau would take it even higher.

It will be a lot harder for the Women, just because the competition is so much better, though the way Oregon competed, while Graves was still experimenting with player rotation, against UCLA & Stanford, certainly makes it look possible. The Men started conference play with a close win over last place Washington, and of course lost in Colorado. There were parts of the other games when the Ducks weren't playing well, but they finished strong. This weekend the Ducks are at Arizona & ASU, the Wildcats & Sun Devils both coming off being swept by the LA schools. They will go a long way towards winning their half of the conference by keeping those losing streaks going.

“We’ve got a really good team, and we got a lot of talent coming back.

Fascinating. At the height of, "the blur", Saban insisted that not only was it bad for the game aesthetically, up tempo offenses were dangerous, risky to the health of players. Now apparently it's all good. Mario pledged when he came to Oregon that he would keep the offense going, but with bigger, better players. So far, he has recruited bigger, potentially, better players, but he abandoned the offense!

In San Diego, a local gym was separated into two courts. On one side was the upper grade team, and on the other was the lower grade team. On the lower court, 10-year-old Te-Hina Paopao laced up her shoes to begin her practice drills.

Fittingly, Stewart was a Husky.

Yes they were, credit to them for playing as well as they did without them. As you said, they'll have that win to look back on.

Double crudbeans! Postponed is better than canceled, and I'm happy that it is the ASU game and not Arizona.

I actually can't even consider believing or wanting Ohio State to win anything. In this case it doesn't matter because I believe and want Alabama to win. Having 3 of the top 5 Heisman finalists come from their offense doesn't mean Alabama will win every game, they have though. Mac Jones to DeVonta Smith in the air, Najee Harris on the ground. I don't know how Ohio State will keep Alabama under 6 touchdowns. Alabama 45 Ohio State 27

I have to give credit to one of the women who were announcing the Oregon-Stanford game. Before it was over she said that it would be wrong if the Ducks dropped in the polls because of the loss, stating, "their aren't 10 other teams better than Oregon."

The Ducks came from 10 points down at halftime, and ended up beating Utah, 79-73. What was really impressive about the win is that it was accomplished without two of the team's best players.

It was only two years ago that the Huskies won the regular conference title, however, in the conference tournament, Oregon beat them in the championship game, 68-48.

The rest of the teams are on notice. UCLA & Stanford needed to play their best games of the season to get wins over this Ducks team that is still learning to play together. There will be rematches this season, and next season the Lady Ducks will be even better.

Not only was that game a complete "hose job" in itself. Imagine the trajectory the team would have been on with the championship?
