Based on his name alone, I would be optimistic.

This has been as plain to see as the nose on my face (I have a big nose!). I am shocked that the issue of non-revenue sports attrition hasn't emerged earlier as a Title IX issue if nothing else.

Like Phil, I too have lost interest in the Blazers and the NBA

Now to close it out....

Just tuned in at the top of the 7th.....Ducks take lead 7-6 with all 9 guys batting. Amazing at-bats by Chase Meggers and Ryan Cooney (2 RBI's) notably.

The perfect Mother's Day tribute.....a Doog Sweep!

Thanks for the thread Charles....I had lawnmower duty today, so it is nice to come in, crack a cold one and review all the highlights. Never gets old....smacking the Doogs.

This is what I am happy to see for B1G play....adding the two intra-league long, springy bangers to set screens, rebound, defend, dunk and block shots. If we aren't going to shoot 40% from 3PT, then we need rebounders and rangy defenders to cut off lanes on the break and extend pressure on defensive sets.

Thanks for the clarification.....why am I not surprised this will be a bonanza for the attorneys, consultants and lobbyists?

On TOS, someone mentioned the impact of "House" money on this recruiting cycle. I believe the reference is to a US House ruling related to recruiting? It was suggested that this "extra" funding is impacting the cycle, causing some schools to overpay/overvalue certain recruits. I am not informed enough to know if my speculation is at all true, but I mention it in case some here have better insights. Maybe the perceived downturn in recruiting is really just keeping powder dry for fewer, bigger fish since our depth chart is pretty sound now?

Corso to McAfee::Sublime to Ridiculous

Nico and Prime seem destined for one another.

I've see Olajuwon on the sidelines at the Final Four....has anyone seen Clyde lurking about?

I believe the kids refer to the Houthi's predicament as: FAFO

Oregon vs Liberty--Hardwood Edition!

Cam Neely too

Go Ducks! It's gameday baby....

My concern pre-season is showing up in B1G conference play.....soft and unathletic in the paint. That used to work in the Pac-12 well enough to get a berth or make a conference tourney run. Dan Lanning came to the Ducks and he preached physicality. Dana needs to do the same. Get some East Coast wide body bangers to set screens, box out, deny the block and hammer driving guards that dare enter the paint. Like Boeheim used to build Syracuse back in the day. A couple of bangers and a couple of pogo-stick elastic types to rotate and counter opponent bigs.

Amen, everything from here on out is gravy.

Nick Saban is a human toothache.

Just this past week I have started to hear a rumor about the B1G Championship game. Supposedly, multiple defensive starters had norovirus during game week. Obviously, Coach Dan's progrum doesn't allow excuses, right? But, if true would explain the less-than-peak performance we witnessed.

Wiley's compadre.....Filbert

Wiley in his happy place.

The first crack in the Heisman Trophy aura for me was Gino Toretta. The logic then was best player on best team. Garrison Hearst, Marshall Faulk, or hell, Drew Bledsoe were better. Hunter is the current era Tebow.....most-hyped player on any team, regardless of W-L record or team ranking.
