It was indeed, and UCLA won the championship 3 years in a row with him anyway.

Thanks for finding this, Annie. Any chance to go back to 1994 and "Gang Green" is welcomed. That was quite a game for Schmidt against ASU. If Lanning and his D can match and maybe even surpass that defense, we will all be thrilled.

Mudslide, thanks very much for that breakdown and analysis, I'm in agreement that more than "working harder" is, was needed for this team. They won some big games, but more often lost, were blown out in games where they showed little resistance. There didn't ever seem to be an adjustment in game or overall. They were embarrassed by BYU and beat UCLA twice. In the same weekend they take No.3 Arizona to the end, then lose for the second time to ASU. But the way they played, schemed didn't appear to be different in either game. There was a common cry about the Ducks Final 4 team, "Who's the Alpha?" Dillon Brooks, Dylan Ennis. Tyler Dorsey? They all were capable, and each hit big shots. In his senior year, Pritchard did carry the load, last season Duarte' and Omoruyi were both big shot ready. This season the Ducks don't have the big shot player

Fortunately, what helps us get through the interminable off season are all these questions to ponder. None of which can be answered now. Lanning has all the qualities of a top head coach, and his assistants are all talented and experienced and appear to be united in bringing the championship to Oregon. 2. I'm going to say we actually can answer this question. Lanning and Dillingham will not be a repeat of Cristobal and whoever the OC was. A new roster of talent, especially a top line O Line is ready to bring excitement back to the O. 3. I am nothing but Optimistic about the opening season of the Dan Lanning D at Oregon. 4. The schedule is truly daunting. But the only game that I will assign an L to now is the first one. This is not to say that I will throw my arms up in disgust if the Ducks lose any of the others, but I am 3/4 glass full at the moment. 5. A win / win in the QB room. An experienced SEC QB, with experience with the OC in Nix, or a talented Thompson or Butterfield that outplayed him and earned the start.

This truly an Odd Duck of a basketball team. Between the embarrassing loss to BYU and the sweep of UCLA, to the W in Colorado and the L to Colorado at home. They nearly sweep USC but lose twice to ASU. It makes no sense.

Since he's been here, Altman's answer, win or lose in post game interviews has been, "We've got a lot of work to do". That hasn't worked this year.

In the NFL the question, "Which team that missed the playoffs last season is most likely to make it next season?" is actually an interesting one. The Bengals missed the playoffs the season before and got to the Super Bowl at the end of this season. In college the answer(s) are Clemson and Ohio State. Hard to make a case for any other team(s).

I prefer a loss by 20 than by 1.

This would actually end up being good for KT overall. Aaron Rodgers fell to No.24 and the Packers and will end up in the HOF. There is I'm pretty sure a team of Pro Bowlers that could be made by players drafted out of the top 10.

Kids under 12 should not watch this Oregon basketball team.

With the RB switching from the Vet Coach to the New Coach. It's at Stanford so that could help the Cardinal.

This second half is taking as long as

Finish in 5th they'll play 12th place OSU, 6th, 11th Utah.

It's a sad situation but missing Richardson is not having any effect on this game that I can see.
