    How many scholarship players did we have on the roster yesterday before the portal opened?

    I'm not sure.  I am also not sure it matters anymore with modern roster management.  Convert a player to a PWO with an NIL package and you have solved your schools limit problem.  Of course, pure conjecture on my end but what seems to be happening when reading between the lines.

     

  2. So, the Daylen Austin news may factor into the portal dynamics? 

     

    As for the nose position, I heard on one of the podcasts that Coach Tuioti is very high on Amauri at Nose....he played 80+ snaps last season and has some of the most "violent hands" Coach has seen.  

     

    The O-live reporter, James Crepea, has a 4-deep with Caldwell starting at Nose, Amauri as backup, and Keyon at the Dorlus spot with Caldwell backing him up.

     

    3 guys for 2 DL spots seems thin to me, too.  I expected 2 or 3 DL transfers, we have 1 so far in Caldwell.....who's next?

     

    Oh, and F that bastard Jonathan Smith for holding on to the MSU guy....

  3. Remember when Chip convinced Jeff Lurie to give him roster management control from Howie Roseman in Philly?  He hired his own guy, made a bunch of bad trades and was fired at the end of the season.  Meanwhile, Howie is still there.

     

    That's why it would be foolish to hire him in the NFL again. Which likely means Spanos has Chip on speed dial.

     

    From NFL.com:

     

    The Eagles also announced that Ed Marynowitz, Kelly's hand-picked vice president of player personnel, was also released. It's a telling part of this change in direction. This firing comes nearly a year to the day that Kelly got control of the personnel department last offseason, leading to former general manager Howie Roseman having a reduced role on the football side of the team. Roseman, now an executive vice president, will be part of the group that hires the next Eagles coach.

    While Oregon was battling Ohio State and USC for receivers....Oregon State was battling Colorado State and Portland State for this WR from Prineville....

     

    N.RIVALS.COM

    Eddie Freauff - 2024 3 Star Wide receiver for Crook County (Prineville, OR) on Rivals.com

     

    I think it's a little early to extinguish the Freauff hype.....I'm hearing good things.

  5. I feel similarly about recruiting and the portal......I get excited about a player when he laces up cleats and steps on the field as a Duck.

     

    I have had my fill of 5 star recruits who never play a down and never grow tired of the 3 star kid that develops into a regular contributor.

     

    Sure I follow the drama of the offseason because I love OBD, but I don't lose sleep over the roster churn and trust the staff.

     

    The older I get the more I just enjoy the journey, the ups and the downs, and realize how precious each season is.  

     

    Besides, what else a I going to obsess about?  Politics, pop culture, AI.....no thanks.

    Idontroll, got any spare Kingsford?

     

    I was doing OK until this morning but now I'm thinking I could flatulize fountains of flawless faceted fractal floes.

     

    Might as well do something constructive while I wait for kickoff.

    I cleared the shelves at Bi-Mart....but, I could conveniently courier a couple of combustible carbon cubes Chez Vous compadre!

    I recently discovered the root cause of my football anxiety...all the time-outs, breaks and commercials. So I did the DVR trick for the University of Oregon/Oregon State University Pacific-12 Conference annual National Collegiate Athletic Association football rivalry game. (Sure wish there were a shorter name for that game). I then watched a stress-free beatdown of the Reser Rats. Plus I had control of the replays instead of cursing what they chose to show me.

     

    This is the key to happiness I have employed for years now.....and it works.

    The money is 3/1 coming in favor of the Purple people yet the line isn't Dropping. 
     

    Vegas knows something. The late big money often a tell. 
     

    Right now, Vegas likes the Ducks. ALOT

     

    Got my tickets, leaving the Van for a night out.  

    Make sure you don't forget to lock the van while you're gone, Matt Foley.  You remember what happened last time.
