  1. Thanks for the clarification.....why am I not surprised this will be a bonanza for the attorneys, consultants and lobbyists?
  2. 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?
  3. Corso to McAfee::Sublime to Ridiculous
  4. Nico and Prime seem destined for one another.
  5. I've see Olajuwon on the sidelines at the Final Four....has anyone seen Clyde lurking about?
  6. I believe the kids refer to the Houthi's predicament as: FAFO
  7. Oregon vs Liberty--Hardwood Edition!
  8. 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.
  9. Amen, everything from here on out is gravy.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. I think PSU will have a lot of incentive to keep a new kid on the block from winning their inaugural B1G championship. Franklin will bring the tradition angle as motivation.....our PR savvy, snazzy unis and the "gimmicky offense" meme will be employed to wind up the Nittany Lions. That, plus a big crowd and the time difference will keep it close early. The Ducks need to be offensively efficient in the first half, limit turnovers and penalties, turn yards into points. The second half is when the Ducks will pull away.
  13. Apparently, according to the local Portland AM sports talk cognoscenti, EB is kind of a jerk and difficult to work with and around. Over the years, he has been overlooked for NFL HC positions for this same reason, though speculation in the press often assumed discrimination in the past. I am paraphrasing the above....the tone was much more emphatic live on air.
  14. He's loud and goofy....the only skills needed for modern sports talk. Sense-making? Not so much.
  15. How big was Kevin Mitchell back in the day? Michael Clay? They were undersized and kicked butt
  16. Still the greatest call ever..."The Most Improbable Finish to a Football Game!!" Bookended with the Civil War 2010 call...."Your Oregon Ducks are going to the National Championship Game" These two calls, for me, are the perfect encapsulation of the Ducks' 15 year journey to prominence. But, like Mac Court, some nostalgic totems are meant to be outlived.
  17. Someone once said: A Giraffe is a Horse, designed by a Committee.
  18. Washington is known for apples Oregon is known for berries The rivalry game should be called THE FRUIT CUP!
