Tied for 4th youngest??!! That's stunning!

I don't believe DL will remain with Bo for long. EWU is not a fair evaluation. But, BYU will be all the info Coach needs. Back to the presser. I would expect no other reply from Coach than Bo is our guy. That's not the time to be talking next man up. DL has to evaluate the tape first and not be passively bashing his team before a long ride home. "it's on me" was the right call. Is Butters not good enough for a series, Is TyThom? I will hang my hat on the 'put the backup in when the game is lost' mantra. I am reminded of not so long ago that the Beavers did the exact same thing. Opening half starting QB was not garnering rave reviews. Second half came out with the backup and he took the reigns for the season. Point is, Fall ball is not season ball. Naming a starter in camp doesn't mean you have to stay with them. Just a thought.

29-50. Thats the comparison of 4 star or higher recruits for U$C and Oregon. U$C 29 in the last 4 years and Oregon has a whopping 50. Some have left, but thats not the point. Some have come through the Portal, but that's not the point either. The overall team quality of players is astounding. CW is an amazing player and I expect nothing less this year. Corey Freman should be an instant disruptor one would expect. But, let's be real clear, U$C has another year or two to gain their footing with personnel. U$C will get theirs, but not this year. It's Utah's to lose if we are going to take off the colored glasses. To say Oregon is basically a tier down is incredible homerism at it's worst. It's not 2005 U$C, it's 2022. You had a Losing year last year. Let's take a breather and just get you bowl eligible.

Coach, you might hate being talked about, but it's what helps us understand how you think and what you value. Don't worry, the really hard questions will come after a loss or two and possibly a head scratching decision that costs Oregon a game. Take the sift balls while you can.

So, we are all hoping on a prayer we win against the Dawgs. Just being real. We have a shot but, no one would fault Oregon for losing by 10 or less. That's on our defense. Now, if you know we are limited in our ability to win this game, then why wouldn't you put the next Gen QB in and give him a vanilla playbook? Manage the game and you just might win it. The experience would/should transform that QB. If TT comes out with 60%+ completion and within 10 points? Well, now. But, he just might win it. Not playing Butters or TT this year is very dangerous. You will lose one. You won't lose Nix if he goes second string. Is it just me, or does it seem like Butters seems to be the intellect QB that can outsmart the opponent. Lanning keeps talking how competitive he is and how he smokes the competition in Duck Olympics. Yeah, I know it isn't football. However, Butter's name keeps popping up with the 'It' factor. I just got a feeling, nothing more.

I could be color blind....but, were all those would be tacklers wearing purple? Looked about the same to me

Thank you for such an incredible sacrifice you have made so far. That's an incredible amount of money for a hobby that benefits others so greatly. Adds are no problem. Having to pay for the site might be. Thank you again FD

At some point, these kids will be able to play regardless of a passing grade in class. The NCAA is losing its grip with remarkable speed. Will there be a time where there will be no infraction worthy of penalty? Maybe a bit facetious...maybe.

I would like to preface my comment with I am very aware of Georgia's NC title and NFL laden roster. However, Oregon went to the Natty twice with less star power than the SEC and nearly brought home a trophy. Why is this important you ask? I believe Oregon has enough Dudes to hang with Georgia just fine. 17 points is ridiculous. I believe this is a slight roster advantage to Georgia but can be overcome by Coaching, just fine. Therefore, Lanning should be given as long of a leash when it comes to privacy for the entire year. Next year, I'm hoping that Coach opens up practices to the public for the first half and then closes it for second half. I used to love being able to go to the field and watch the guys scrimmage. What a great way to spend a few minutes of my afternoon.

Thats some heavy LB's out there.

Those that get offended because of a 'kind reminder' tend to be those that think more of themselves than of others. This isn't the forum of demeaning arguments. It's actually quite simple, share a thought or article. Leave everything else off the website. I can be wrong, but I don't have to be abused because of it.

You don't need a Great QB to win a playoff game. Georgia doesn't have one. The NFL has tons of Super Bowl Champs that have serviceable QB's that are not Great by any stretch of the imagination. A Great Defense gets the opposing offense off the field. Therefore, they don't score points. This allows for development to progress with Young QB's. Oregon's success over the last 2-3 years had more to do with line play than QB play. That's a Mari° plug right there. As far as 2 QB system.....yuck! Figure out your QB in the Spring and Fall camps. Get the #2 and #3 some reps when you are 24 points up in the second half. If it's the 4th quarter and that kind of spread, then I would alternate QB 2&3 with the #1 offense. Bellotti tried this and I hated it. Haven't seen any successful team utilize this with any kind of regularity. Situational, yes, but not part of the main scheme.

Maybe, now, the ACC would like to have a bonus pay package to their media contract with the PAC playing designated crossover games. Clemson/Oregon, UW/UM, and who wouldn't like a little FSU in the mix as well? What kind of monetary payout could we reasonably get with an additional 2/4/6 team contributing to the PAC? SDSU, TT, Houston, Baylor, and maybe BYU? Could we get to $45-$50 million per school? I would think that we could really add value if we could loosely align with the ACC and add major market schools. Let the realignments continue!!

We all deserve a refresher of TT's ability to hit someone down field. Video is imbedded. To be fair, he launches at the 31 and that ball is caught 5 yards inside the end zone! Oregon Football: QB Ty Thompson shows off impressive arm strength DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM Well, we’ve always known that Ty Thompson has never been lacking for arm strength. That much is clear.

9-3. But I want 13-0

I don't believe we need a footprint in any state as regards to recruiting. Oregon has been to 2 NC games and won a handful of PAC titles in the last 12-15 years without it. IMO, footprint is only about TV revenue. Another point, after much consideration, Oregon would be best served staying in the PAC. We don't need more money, we have PK and PK amongst many others. Remaining in the PAC is an easier road to an undefeated season.

San Diego state is coming to the PAC. Thats a market, in SoCal, you don't ignore. Then TCU, Tech, OSU, and Baylor. After those 4, decide if you are going to 20-24. Kansas, UNLV, BSU, SMU. Thats 21. Houston makes 22. Who else do you invite? FSU? If so, that leaves one left for 24. This would wrap up the Seattle, Portland/Vancouver, San Francisco, San Diego, squeeze into LA, Houston, Denver, DFW, Las Vegas, and Oklahoma markets. It's not the B1G, but it's a Power Conference heavy weight. Football would be no slouch, but BBall would be tremendous. Contenders no doubt. You could still have 4 pods with regional ties and 1 crossover from each pod per year. 1 money game and 1-2 T-ups to warm up for the season. This would preserve the PAC and close the door to the raiding from other conferences. It just might add some decent value as well.

There is a real growing reality forming right now. The absurd seems to keep coming to mind. The four corners go to the Big12/16, with Oregon and Washington finding a home with the ACC or the B1G. B1G makes more sense long term if they will have us. But, the ACC would jump at the remaining pile of the PAC and pick at our carcass. It would be monetarily beneficial for Oregon and Washington to move conferences, but, I would hate it. Another option is that UO and UW go to the Big12 as well and the rest of the schools get left on the trash heap. Again, I don't like it. But, if these schools are chasing money then we have to put our love for the game on the shelf and look at this through the lense of $$. The ACC would/could project even more money. However, that media contract is an albatross. So, here's my, maybe not so, absurd idea. Take the Big12 and the PAC and make a Super Conference. Call it the BIG PAC. Play 6 games within segment of conference with 2 crossovers. This leaves around 3 games for OOC games. 1 headliner per year and two cup cakes. This is harder than the SEC who likes to have 4 cupcakes and all at home each year. There are many storied conferences that have drifted into obscurity and then faded completely away. I'm getting the feeling the PAC is on the verge of oblivian. Make no mistake, we are going to have to settle. The PAC is Not in a position of strength in any way shape or form. Maybe, this is a way to save it. The alternative is picking at 2 carcasses to make a solid Super Conference. Either way, all of this is hard to swallow for this CFB fan.

Opinion: Pac 12 Schools Will Still End Up in Big XII WWW.MSN.COM Despite negotiations stalling, Pac 12 schools will head to Big XII.

Mad dog made a good point about Miami not being relevant for 20+ years. But, giving 0 respect to Utah for holding OSU to an excellent game and not accounting for Oregon winning the PAC 2/4 times and a Rosebowl. Ugh....

This is going to get scary. The PAC is clearly under Attack! Whats the advantage for Oregon here? I'm not talking about us fans and having the PAC remain together. The sheer value for Oregon, as it stands currently, is not to remain in the PAC. Sure they could win the PAC more times than not each year. But, if its on sheer opinion of who deserves to be in the play offs and not on Conference championships, then where is the advantage? If the SEC and B1G want no auto qualifiers, it's going to be a popularity contest of 20 years ago. Sure, go undefeated and it's no problem, but lose one game and we will be on the outside looking in more times than not.

I can't seem to access the article. Whats the conclusion of it all?

Just my two cents... Worrying about having too many 4&5* players at any given position because they might transfer.....is a GREAT problem to have. However, I do understand that we are talking about teenagers and their dreams. I would conclude that a player usually sticks around for 2-3 years before he considers transferring. This, no doubt, is because he sees the writing on the wall. He hasn't broke the rotation or become 'The Guy'. That is revealing in itself. So, I'm left to wonder, if you bring in a top 10 QB every year, how many starting QB's hold the reigns for only one year? What happens to the other 3 or 4 QB's in the room? They wait, and most of the time barely play their college career, unless they can break the rotation. Nothing given, everything fought for. You want to play, then go get better. Go to 'The Manning Academy' and find ways to get better. I'm not worried about TT. He seems to be a mature individual who gets it. He even mentioned how he needed to improve after a poor performance in the Spring game. Those are his words. Then he went and did something about it. He wants to earn the starting job this year. I personally only see one difference in Bo and Ty. They both made ill conceived throws at horrible times. Bo has history of doing this. Has he learned from that? Ty does it.... and he heads to the Manning Academy and owns the class. I think he fixed some things. I will take Ty Thompson based on what I can only read. Bo may start but Ty will be thrown into the mix along with Butters. By the 4th game we will know if there needs to be a change at the helm. If Ty is neck and neck, then you take Ty OVER Bo. If Butters' does the same then you take Butters'. Their development in the game is much more important this year than any perceived runs we might make. Nobody thinks we are heading to the Natty this year. Just my $.02

I've been to those rock slides. Its a sad reminder that danger is all around us even for highly athletic people. I just hate hearing of tragedies like this. Even more so from youth, they are just starting, its not fair.

Absolutely no way. No disrespect to Flowe but one year of awesomeness and 2 hears of season ending injuries in the first games or during practice leaves NFL teams a bit warey. A body of work is important for a 'High Draft' pick
