  1. When I was a kid, there was an outdoor column every week (authored by a local fellow named Andy Maxon, IIRC?) that I and most of my friends tended to follow closely, in addition to anything sports related. 

    It's sad that something which was such an integral part of American life has, in large part, gone the way of the Dodo and the passenger pigeon... Mostly due to human greed and lack of attention to the details that actually matter to most consumers.

  2. I remember a time when athletes at smaller colleges had to work for room and board. My brother attended Willamette University in Salem, and worked at the Oregon State Hospital (At that time, a residential mental health facility, and site of the state nurses training program), even living in an on site dormitory for WU athletes (I believe the name was Griffith Hall?).

    He did ground maintenance, punched patient meal tickets, some janitorial work, even showed movies in certain wards for the patients.

     

    I knew Oregon football players who worked as manual labor for companies like Wildish Sand and Gravel.

     

    My, how the worm has turned!

  3. The b1g is following blithely in lockstep with their idols, the EsecPN power shills.

    Does it seem odd that they "expanded" by first recruiting such current powerhouse programs as Rutgers, Maryland, and Nebraska before reaching out to the money market teams on the west coast?

     

    Right... In house patsies.

     

    The next great advance in the search for an easier road to the playoffs.

     

    By contrast, the PAC has a 9 game schedule that turns out like a bloodbath most years, effectively giving the powers that be a built in excuse to ignore them..

  4. Things to ponder... Do we really believe nothing is in the works, or that Kliavkoff is just lousy at communicating with the PAC members because none of the "important" people ()re: US!) have been slipped any verifiable information by the powers that be? 

     

    I'm as frustrated as anyone. 

     

    What I do know is that nobody in a position of authority is going to be dialing my number with "the Scoop".

    With TFerg out out for the rest of the spring, I'm sure there is a DL portal wish list for another TE. I wonder if they are considering having Matayo U as a backup plan, àla DJJ a couple years back.

     

    Matayo was a monster at TE for Bosco and if he is not going to be utilized much on the edge as a true freshman, the offense could sure use him.

    I like that idea.
