Strangely, that reminds me of a former Wannabe 'beauty queen' competitor I have the misfortune of being related to... When referring to several younger ladies who, in all honesty, easily, and in some cases are, considered beautiful and/or uber talented, the conversation centers around herself. She was always, and still is, the cleverest, the prettiest, the most successful... Even in comparison to her 18 year younger sister (the epitome of blonde bombshell, even as she is pushing 60), her own daughter (a very attractive , highly accomplished equestrian, once ranked in the top 20 in her discipline in the world), and pretty much any other person not involved in discussing herself. IMO, USC and the NCAA IS like the aging, fading harridan who volunteered to give eulogy for a departed ĺoved one: Start the session with, "I was always Grandma's favorite, because I was the first, and that made ME the BEST!"

Careful Charles... You're showing our seniority!

*************************************************** Poor lads have no clue... Lanning is 36, Riley 39. Lanning has far less "frat boy" in him than the "grown man" living in a $17 million golf retreat.

This is a bigger get, in some ways, than Harbor would have been. Certainly a bigger need on the defensive side.

Olympic aspirations and South Carolina seem like a poor match, given the Gamecocks' record in t&fricken, but young men follow their hearts. Would have been fun to watch, but this is still a huge class signing!

Panty Bunch Waddled Fuskies... Draggin' a trail in the PAC since forever.

Welp, OBD should have an answer shortly...

Nice OC upgrade... Now go get some D!

18 SACKS as a junior? What is the competition like in his league?

Maybe the gf could 'portal' to Oregon...

Didn't they actually reduce the capacity at Reser?

Pritch is still working hard to build his resume, even though he's already got what many think is his peak position. He just gets that it's a JOB, which denotes HARD WORK!

ACC, you say? FSU would seem to be ideal...

Can 'THE PAC' get the stadium approved for the Holiday as a package deal?

Thanks for playing... Here's your lovely parting gift! Miami Football Makes Surprising Announcement About Top Assistant Coach WWW.SI.COM The offensive coordinator spent one year with the Hurricanes. "According to Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald, Miami will pay Gattis’s “large buyout” to go in a different direction."

That's disappointing...

One would think the example of gym rats like Pritchard set would rub off on younger players... Celtics’ Payton Pritchard on being 6-foot-1 white American guard: ‘A lot of us aren’t there’ WWW.MASSLIVE.COM Payton Pritchard hit all four of his 3-pointers in the fourth quarter in their win over the Raptors. “We’re a bunch of tough dudes and, for me, I wouldn’t be in the position I am today without having a tough mindset,” Pritchard said after the win. “ "It’s not quite the flashiest role coming off the bench. But the third-year pro hasn’t complained this season when he only gets into games late during garbage time." “I’m happy for Payton,” Mazzulla said. “This league can be unforgiving at times. You have to be strong-minded, you got to work hard, you got to be patient. Payton’s all of those things. I’ve always told him: Whenever it’s his time, I trust him completely. He was great tonight.” Contrast that to many of the highly ranked, one and done types. ATTITUDE!

A more talented version of Boyett, maybe?

Given the support available to Williams, his performance was the least that should have been expected... If his talent level is all it is made out to be, the nickname he deserves is Mr. Stubs. Toejams seems an appropriate nickname for Coach Riley's team.

According to the reports, the two execs didn't share the info with the right peeps within the conference hierarchy... Beyond Larry Scott, who would that be ?

If 2023 is kind to USC, I will shed a tear... Of frustration. Nothing would make me sadder than to see a triumphant USC striding out the door with their heads held high. Oregon needs to nut up and send them off with the bitter taste of defeat dripping from their lying teeth... (Too much?)

Hmm... Sounds spot on.

Lanning and the Ducks may have a chance with Robinson, but I question how serious his interest is. Definitely would be worthwhile to have an athlete of that caliber available, but it seems as if Georgia and the spoiled children may have the advantage.

My first live blazer game was against the Celtics, in the old Colosseum... Tommy Heinsohn was still coach of Boston at the time. My buddy and I hung on every word with rapt attention, while huddled over our Sony transistor radio. My friend's Dad had season tix 5 rows behind the visitors bench for years. Good friends to have, eh?. Bill was the epitome of classic!

My first born son was still only a couple months old during the '77 run. I remember rocking him to sleep while listening to the Blazers on the radio. I used to coach a problem solving team (Odyssey of the Mind) when he was in junior high, a decade and a half later. In 1992, we qualified for a world comp which took place on the University of Tennessee campus, during the NBA finals. I had 6, 14 year old Blazer freaks on that team, and a Knoxville bartender (who just happened to be a Duck/Blazer fan), closed off the back room of his establishment so we could watch a game together. Watched on what passed for a big screen back then, and listened to multiple comments about how much more everyone would have enjoyed hearing the Schonz was the announcer. Those were the days!
