It will be interesting to see where Ty an DJU end up....

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.

The free market is the best poverty alleviation system ever devised.....said someone wise once.

Exactly. Fentress is a retread of Ken Goe for the social media era. Gadfly click hustler

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

Mothudi is a 4-star who is still in play.....he might put Dan over the top tonight.

I saw the news and figured WKU was playing the Chargers?

The bald-faced dimwit has been wacko for decades

In fairness to Ty, when he did get into games, he looked better than Chris Harper at QB.

An all-time favorite hog.....JPJ! Now go protect Justin in LA please

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.

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

We'll put DeBeer's out of business!

I am on double colon-clench lockdown this week. If I were to use a Kingsford charcoal briquet as a suppository, by Friday's kickoff, it would be a diamond. We're talking pressure on a geologic scale.

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

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

The sharps know something......

The loss hurt.....but having the pressure on the Doogs for the last 5 weeks has been beneficial to us.

Yep, we are in Bama/Georgia strata for now in terms of coordinator poaching....there will be a rotation through the program as long as we are successful. In a couple of years, we will be rehabilitating someone like Chip or Billy Napier into a second chance HC. I hope we hang on to some position coaches that recruit like banshees and maintain the culture.

Agree totally with Mr. FishDuck on this. Jonathan Smith is a Duck nemesis. I have animosity toward the fine gentleman ever since a crappy November night in Corvallis in 1998.

The number one aspect of the Pac-12 I will not miss is the officiating. It has always been a detriment to style of play and the comparison to other Power 5 conferences. A huge chunk of the conference's "softness" reputation is due to the way Pac-12 officials were groomed for league play. Once we found out that Limo Larry was trying to control game calls live from a "central location" it confirmed that the Pac-12 was an outlier in how it viewed the role of officiating as "consequential" to the game. Other conferences let the flow of play, coaching, game planning and player talent dictate the action with officiating as a "last resort" competitive element. Now we get to smash mouth with the big kids and leave the nursery school behind. Good riddance. Oh, and I won't miss road games at Stanford, The Palouse, Bean Dip Bowl, and the Arizona Desert either.

There 100% Czechoslovakian Ivory

This thread needs a "Trigger Warning". No, wait, the word 'trigger' is triggering. Uh...? Somedays I feel like Kerock the Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer, who struggles with modernity

Wish I could have been there.....
