Oregon fans haveen complaining for as long as I can remember about our dbs getting humiliated by big, fast receivers... I'd at least like to see a qb like Bo get to test drive one around the Autzen parking lot couple times!

I've seen video of Harbor, and it makes sense to compare his start to Jamaican Multi-gold medal Olympian and world record holder Usain Bolt... they have very similar strides (Ok, Bolt is SMOoth!), but both are also SLOW out of the blocks and take a wee bit to get up to speed. When I was a sprinter, I could consistently blow by opponents out of the blocks, but 3rd place was a great finish with my short legs and poor acceleration. After the forty mark, I have no doubt Harbor would eat this little guy's lunch...

If he plays football, the scholly is on the football program's dime, IIRC.

One of those items the NCAA thinks are 'harmful' to student athletes?

A duck I have mentioned before, Russ Francis, 'thought' he could be a 2 sport athlete at Oregon. He never truly excelled on the turf, yet had a long and successful, all pro level career in the league. He entered Oregon as the national High School record holder in the javelin. I personally witnessed him run 9.5 second (hand timed) 100 yard dash in high school. He never ran at Oregon, and never performed at at high level in the javelin, either. Yet Oregon has shown as have other schools, that football players can achieve success at both sports... Jordan Kent, Patrick Johnson, Mel Renfro, JJ Birden, Ronnie Harris, and of course Devon Allen, were all sprint/hurdle guys. NCAA relay championships are often won or at least contended at a high level, by squads consisting largely of football stars. It can be done successfully, but there is definitely a different work ethic involved. One of the biggest advantages offered by Oregon sits at the Hatfield Dowlin Complex, and Hayard... the training support may be unmatched in the NCAA.

My mother in law has three beta maxes, and four vhs, all cross wired to copy whatever, hooked up in the room where my deceased father in law used to hold camp during Duck football season... I couldn't figure out the wiring sequence if she would let me try to clean that mess up!

Basically comparable physically in size and speed to when I went to school with former Duck TE and 9 time all pro Russ Francis... I really enjoyed that dude on my hs track team!

When the game was on the line, BUCKY grabbed, er... snatched the balls on ST and showed elusive toughness and determination on special teams plays that Duck fans had been begging for, delivering fans a level of anticipation and hope that fair catches can never provide.

Double Posting, to BOOT! I wanna go tear down a goal post, and leave it on DAN LANNING"S front porch!

I'm sitting here, at my computer, crying over a freakin' FOOTBALL GAME!

Glad I didn't bail!

Bridges is taking this opportunity seriously!

Grind em down, Danno!

Watch carefully... There are times when walking up to the LOS, Bo is noticeably limping.

I'm adjusting my libation...

Looks like a CMC playbook.

I coached soccer for years... Not glad to see it on the field of play, especially against OBD! The TD just adds insult to injury.

I'm in StreamEast... Very solid/clear connection.

Any decent streaming options? DISH decided to get into a contract dispute with FOX this week! Thanks to virtually every local affiliate moving their broadcast center to Blanton heights, I now live in a black hole!

So, if Riley bolts for the NFL, who knows what will happen to the men of charact... er, Troy who signed this last week? There's another portal coming up, right?

I appreciate that one of the main things he refers to is continuing to help the Ducks build the Lanning culture! Somebody is making an impact in the lives of the Men of Oregon!

Ok... It IS so. And rather entertaining at times.

We played Mud Football at my future best man's house... If the nearby river rose, there would be a couple inches of water where his mom's soon to be missing front lawn struggled to exist. They had about a fifty yard run end to end, with the housed at one goal, and a highway overpass on the other. Half o the guys would show up in cleats, and one kid always had to wear a cheap, lightly padded helmet. The only injury in 6 years of games involved that dadgum helmet. I ran up to field a short punt, and this kid slipped and fell right in front of me. I tried to jump over him, and it would have worked... If he'd stayed down. Nope. Couldn't do it... He stood up in perfect alignment with my right knee, resulting in a crushed helmet, a massive bruise on my quad, and the ban of all future football games on that yard in perpetuity. His mama took great umbrage with the hospital bill for his 3 day stay in a concussion protocol. Those were the good old days! AmIRight?!?!?

I snorted when I saw fakes and deep balls, especially in light of past failings. My grandson said I sounded like a rerun of Beavis and Butthead... I sincerely applaud the fact that Oregon appears to have landed not one but two consecutive OC's who delight in controlling the LOS and freeing the QB to use, confuse, and abuse opposing DCs at will!

Would be sweet to have a Quack Town Smack Down rep around here, wood (in honor of fleeting Beavitz Dominatrix) it not?
