So, if LGB doesn't Clout Hout in the Snout, the Ducks never identify the electrifying talent in backup positions, thus avoiding other sensational careers...

Lanning has already achieved more consistent success than Brooks did in his tenure at Oregon. Patience is a virtue, but it's not easy.

NVM... I see what he did, there.

Is James injured?

When my older brothers were in HS, I got to "play" ball with them... Mind you, I was a skinny, short for my age, grade school kid, while my brothers were both eventually collegiate athletes. One of my brothers was a 6'9 basketball prodigy who eventually became a 'shot doctor' for Clyde Drexler and Terry Porter. The other was a 6'6 moose. Their playmates were all bruisers, one of whom was a HS all American shooting guard. Compassion was not their strong suit. Football? "Here, kid, you hike the ball!" I was usually lined up across from the 6'5 power forward/linebacker... I bet you can guess how long that lasted! Baseball? I got to bat first, and usually was hit with a pitch or stomped trying to cover home plate... Basketball? I got a lot of pebble patterned facial abrasions trying for a lay up. Only advantage I ever had was I was always faster than all of them. Maybe the beavitch will eventually get tired of getting punched in the mouth. Don't hold your breath.

Der Mario: "Thank God and Greyhound, you're gone!"

As a coach, playing your arguably least talented opponent this season, what better game to give tryout to your most inexperienced center? Yes. It screws up communication on the O-line, but may be critically important later on.

Says the old Offensive Lineman... It would be nice if guys like Cornelius paid attention to the little things, like positioning.

Nice tip drill.

Multiple times last season, too... C'mon Cornenelius!

Is Colorado saying they jumped for greener pastures because they couldn't win an honest game? IIRC, they split for the Big12 before the dirty Ducks split for the much greener B1G...

Certainly rub me the wrong way...

I tthought "the Abominator" was the new title for the Pee Deux commissioner?

DING, DING, DING! I'll take door #2, Monte!

Spare the rod, spoil the child? Part of the reason some peeps complain is because in today's permissive, er, inclusive, world, it's considered rude to expect somebody to follow the rules, or enforce them. Odd, but it works, doesn't it? Good work, people!

I'm thinking if Smart were available, many Tennessee fans would be salivating...

I see what you did there, Jon. Remember, Fortuna was a deadly combination, a woman and a goddess, subject to an unknowable (nee, capricious) turn of a whim. Much like the turn of a knife, luck cuts both ways, hence, Orebon's two humiliating, indeed, frustrating. Losses to the fuzzkies, followed by U Duh's I'll fated meeting with MeatChicken...

Charles, I have heard or seen you called a lot of negative things over the years, on multiple forums... Funny thing is, THIS is the place I chose to call home, and most of the other sites, strangely enough, no longer exist. Keep up the good fight! Most of us will be here to support the cause!

I think the ex-PAC-triots do include 2 of the "Whiniest" fan bases...

Call.The.WAaaammbulance! My Dad was a big fella, 6'3"/260 when he played for OAC (Oregon State), in the early 1940's. If we whined like that as kids, he'd hold out his rather large right hand, and quietly say, "Cry my hand full!" I think he'd say the same to some of these toejamz.

"just like USC?", eh? Seems to me, the Ducks are getting paid half the money, not to SUC!

Leaky Trojans? WhoDaThunkIt?

My step-father was a starting defensive lineman on that beavitch team, right up til Pearl Harbor... That changed everything!

The one time I was semi confident the Ducks would go undefeated in the regular season, my son lived in Las Vegas... I dropped $20 on it at the new sports book near his home, and left the ticket with him. Ducks came through, and he got a month worth of rent money out of it.

Disappointing end to a GREAT season. At least the Ducks were the last PAC12 team remaining... Bodes well for the B1G, as far as I'm concerned. Good job boys. Shore up the pitching (and even that had flashes of brilliance. Need more consistency annd experience.), and things can get much better.
