  2. Oregon cheerleaders can be both distracting and motivating.
     

    True story case in point. when I first arrived on campus I was driving my civic hatchback west on 18th and the cheerleaders were having a car wash on the corner at Hilyard. I ran the red light and was T Boned by an old couple in an Oldsmobile. And get this: the adjuster said it was MY fault!

    Thanks Dazed, all we have now is a high floor on Butters, a high ceiling on Ty and the rug pulled out from underneath us on Nix! I thought we had a nice little wall to wall carpet with Nix, with everything covered!  Now I have to think he may not even be an area rug extending out from the bed I was sleeping so comfortably on as I dreamed of the season to come.

     

    It actually sounds like he may just be a little runner carpet which may take us to the next room with the high floor, and or high ceiling. We definitely don't have the nice wool carpet that will last a long time, and make us all feel good like we were hoping.

     

    The analysis you did was pretty impressive, once again. That type of writing is why it is always enjoyable to wake up and ponder what has been written by the Fishduck staff.

     

    Sometimes that pondering wakes me up from some rosy dreams, which it is probably good. I need to realize the season I am pondering now may just be a fantasy best understood before we walk into it, expecting something which just isn't there. No carpet, not even some soft padding to help us at qb, just a cold hard floor, and we have no idea where it will take us.

     

     

    Love me a good rug metaphor! 👏 👏

    Don't see that happening.  Interesting jury per Canzano.

    I do think it’s a possibility if it goes to verdict. don’t think it was necessarily an atypical D1 football workout. If one guy had gotten rhabdo he wouldn’t have a case. Here three-Poutasi, Brenner and Cam McCormick- got it out of around 100. The defense will have a team of experts to say this was a typical workout administered by top coaches and trainers and that some percentage of injuries are expected and unavoidable. Sounds like the “interesting” jurors were stricken. Lane county jurors are nowhere near as generous as multnomah. 
     

    on the other hand the judge allowed them to add punitive damages, which would’ve required a threshold showing of reckless indifference to the players’ health. My guess is that gives the plaintiffs the leverage they need to reach a settlement. The settlement amount should be available as a public record so good ol Canzano will keep us informed I’m sure.

    As usual, we know some of the winners in this suit ..... regardless of the outcome, the attorneys are looking at at least 6 figure incomes.

    The plaintiffs’ attorneys have this on contingency and have likely advanced substantial amounts for experts and other costs. A defense verdict will leave them in the red. The team of defense attorneys .. different story.

  6. Yes the Ducks are working feverishly to compete with an SC team firing on all cylinders. But “not so fast” on the conclusion that SC is running on all cylinders just bc of its HC hire. There are other cylinders that are misfiring and in need of a tuneup and possibly an overhaul. 
     

    Let’s see how the test drive goes this fall.

    Ah!!!! I didn't take a look at that... Let me see.....    

    Just inside the numbers to about 2 yards inside the numbers on a pro field.  a2 + b2 = c2
    552 + 202 = c2

    3025 + 400 = c2

    58.52 = c

    So, yeah, he threw it about 60 yards. Good catch.

     

    You found the exponent key! My attempt to write out the Pythagorean theorem was less than clear 😆
