I got a sliver this afternoon... Hope it doesn't get infected!

I used to coach youth soccer...At one point, I had 5 girls playing on my boy's U-17 team. 3 were freshman, one was a sophomore... All were HS all Americans at that point (Don't ask me how... It definitely waas NOT my coaching). 3 went on to become lower level (George Fox and similar level schools) AAs. The best of the group was NCAA Freshman of the Year for Boston College... A quarterback of her caliber is the kind of player ridiculous NIL deals such as Tennessee or AtM have thrown out are made for. Cautionary note: After her freshman season, the FOTY soccer star never played again, due to injury. The same could happen to any of these kids.

It was obvious at the time that there was more than trash talk occurring... I have little doubt the punishment meted out was exacerbated by the media presence, and the post Pout reaction to the donkey fan braying from the sidelines as LGB headed for the locker room. Funny how the entire focus was on LGB, and the BS contingent was completely honorable in the eyes of the media. The fact Pouty went down with one punch may say more about Blount's reaction than anything else. A true thug would have kept whaling on him until dragged away.

Chuck the Musties?

Kilkenny made his bones in Insurance. Not sure about Morse.

Submarine warfare??? DIE! DIVE! DIVE!!!

"Just Crank It!"

Wow... I thought transformers were supposed to become something more, well... functional? At one point in time I had a cotvette yellow 1969 El Camino SS, my younger bro had a green 69 Buick GS, my oldest brother a dark metallic green 68 GTO, and my brother in law almost trumped us all with his silver and black 1970 Judge. Dang, I wish I had one photo of all those classics in the same driveway!

Amazing the path of destruction doubt in the coach can create in a team... NOT.

My personal favorite PC quote was when he pointed across the field at Belloti,with the triple "F-U!" To top it off, USC was winning the game...

Hall of Geriatric-ally Obnoxious Ancillary Tarnish-ment? Seems somewhat apropo...

From the looks of the hot tub' one might think there has already been some ralphing taking place... Somebody get out and clean that sucker!

Face it... One might drink de Beer at U Duh, but that lake water? Given it's location, probably at least as pure as the Seine when Jack Lemmon had to have multiple immunizations to submerge in it while filming, "Irma la Douce"!

Do they all get their own 'Golden Parachute'? If not, why would I want to apply for the job?

Must be, in the words of the fuzzkies, that oustanding NIL deal... Oh, wait!,

Harder to shoot yourself in the foot without the pistol loaded...

Hopefully, the action on the field draws interest from some recruits more interested in PT than an excessive NIL deal.

Thompson looks like the inexperienced kid he is...

My wife asked to go on a date this weekend... To the Spring Game! With the amount of time we've spent helping other family members with their medical and age related issues, it will be only the second time we've been able to take in the Ducks together in a ridiculously long time... The last time was a game against ASU, in Tempe. My now 16 year old granddaughters hadn't been born yet. Clemens and Whitehead were the offensive leaders! That's scary, exciting... And a little embarrassing. We've only been married 47 years (48 in June).

Chirp, chirp... Crickets!

Sounds like prostate issues to me...

The Ducks were never like this during the first go round, before the program was dumped by the University... I grew up around former Duck Dave Roberts (Ten seasons as a pro third baseman), before his family moved from Pleasant Hill to Corvallis, where he finished his HS career.

How many jokes does it take for the Usuck locker room to snap to it?
