That's very close to being an oxymoron.

This is a true difference between basketball and football. in the former, after a while coaches and players can see how a game is being called and adjust accordingly. In the latter, that can't be done, consistency in officiating doesn't exist. It isn't the, "they could call holding on every play". It is PI where the trouble exists. Offensive PI is hardly ever called to the degree that when it is it is immediately suspect. The more common defensive PI is judgement to the extreme and very inconsistent. Why are officials protected from accountability? This behind the scenes grading they go through has produced this.

I hate to give even the slightest amount of credit to the Oregon detractors during the "Blur" era. But, as exciting and close to winning a Natty. They weren't plowing through their opponents and dominating with their physicality. Mariota's teams were a speed boat that left the other teams in its wake. This Oregon team is a 16 wheeler playing chicken with Honda Civic's

Playoff scenarios can be like analyzing a Jackson Pollack painting. But I think OSU's 1 point loss would haunt them more than the 1 point win would haunt OBD.

Definitely agree about Riley, Jerry Jones wants him or Prime to be the next coach of the Cowboys, they haven't won in a long time but are always a spectacle. Starting the Lanning coaching tree is a great sign of success. Eventually, Stein will move on, but no worries, Lanning's record is the next guy is even better. How about Jordan Davis from North Texas State? Jordan Davis joined the UNT Football staff in December 2022 as Offensive Coordinator and Wide Receivers coach. Davis coordinated one of the top offenses in the American and the nation in 2023. Under his leadership, North Texas boasted one of only four offenses nationally during the regular season to include a 3,000-yard passer, a 1,000-yard rusher and a 1,000-yard receiver. UNT finished led the AAC and ranked No. 6 nationally in total offense (495.8), plus ranks of No. 12 in passing offense (304.7) and No. 21 in both rushing offense (191.2) and scoring (34.5).

"Oregon is all finesse"---NOT!

The B1G definitely didn't want OSU undermanned, for the game @ Penn State, they can't do anything about the injuries to the OL, but a targeting call?

I'll respectfully disagree. "The Lanning Rule" was the hot topic, and Lanning didn't need to do anything, it showed that he's always looking for an advantage.

You know, Jon, the consensus was that Wisconsin could be Oregon's waterloo. But your post here has changed my mind. Whether it's the 8th out of 8, or miserable weather, Michigan's roster is more hazardous than Wisconsin. Michigan might not be able to pass the ball effectively, but they're 5-3. Houston Rockets coach, Rudy T said, "Never underestimate the heart of a champion!" Michigan is the reigning champ. They haven't started the way they wanted. What they really want is a win that will set this season on a new trajectory. How about beating No.1

Are we insane? That would be OBD going out doing the same thing and getting a different result. So, no, we aren't insane. We don't want a different result. Boring? I'll take it, over the adjectives that fit some other teams right now.

I understand the support for Cignetti, and the precept of COY being exceeding expectations. The number one expectation is that the coach should win games, Cignetti and Lanning are both 8-0. Who have they beaten, Lanning, 3 top 25 teams, Cignetti-0. Cignetti should get a raise; Lanning should get COY.

Delusion? The Beavers had a basketball player named Ricky Lee. Closer to folk singer, Rickie Lee Jones.

Except for that Mahomes guy at KC, the Ducks QB's are taking over the AFC West!

Now this is an honest assessment from the "Blue and Maize" The gauntlet begins next week with No. 1 Oregon coming to town, and while no one is expecting an upset in Ann Arbor, maybe, just maybe there are some reasons to think that it will not be a complete embarrassment.

Is Nick Saban the greatest coach ever, who started at Toledo, then went to a B1G school, Michigan State, then coached at LSU an SEC school, then in the NFL, with the Miami Dolphins, then at another SEC school, Alabama?

Could it be that he knows the 'Canes are 5-3 without divine intervention from the ACC Review Center in the sky?

Success at what? And that should be Gnaw, for a Beaver.

I do feel sorry for Mike Parker.

This another game, when either Oregon wins the toss or not, starting with the ball is good. Get it, take it down the field and go up, 7-0. Nessler & Danielson will say, "Oregon did that against Illinois last week". then dispatch Michigan, get the ball back and do it again. By this time, N & D will have brought up how different Michigan is without Harbaugh. Too help fill time, N & D will talk about the last time Oregon came to the "Big House" as the Duck's lead becomes insurmountable with a touchdown in the 3rd quarter. A pick-6 would be fun but that's a lot to ask for against Michigan.

Cignetti does fit the profile, but, and perhaps why they're down in the rankings, Indiana hasn't played anybody, but should be ranked higher than BYU, Iowa State and Ohio State. Still, Vandy, A & M, BYU, Iowa State > Prime. Lanning should get it but agree why he probably won't.
