Thanks, Jon. I've noticed the same thing about basketball players these days, especially my Trail Blazers, these guys are always hurt!!! Give me a break, wimps!

Sounds like Altman does not want one, but perhaps he's changing he's views on this. Otherwise, the powers that be may have to impose one on him.

Yes, seems very odd that we were not, but apparently, Altman did not want it.

Yeah, the poor oregon hoops might get me dusting off the clubs as well...

Thanks! It's amazing how much guys that age can put down. I remember when I was a student there in the mid-90s , I would load up every term on these coupon booklets that students could pick up at the EMU (the student center) . They had buy 1 get 1 free coupons for McDonalds and Carl's Jr.. So, pretty much everyday I would scarf down 2 Big Macs OR 2 Western Bacon Cheeseburgers and a large fry, no problem. Just standard eating, didn't slow me down a bit, and never became overweight. Ah, the benefits of youth. Man, I could NOT eat that much today if I tried. Thank goodness I learned about healthy eating and nutrition in my mid-late 20s.

Great points as always, Jon. 9.5..... seems soooo far away, the football withdrawals are starting to kick in.

Thanks. Great points. It will be interesting to see how this offseason plays out.

Agreed, it does look like things are shaping up nicely for next year. good points

Good points. Marrying great talent with great coaching is the goal. Conversely, TCU in 2022 and UW in 2023 were not elite in talent, but made it to the big game. There's always exceptions either way.

Thanks, Mike. Yes, time will tell...

It could happen. The stage will be huge, and the players should be ready to roll, as opposed to the possible shoulder shrugging and feigned intensity that might have occurred last weekend. But, we'll see!!!

Good points, and things that will have the coaching staff getting on the team and motivating them for the next game.

And some of that would be how the opposing teams dials up the offense given the way the game is going, but you're not wrong.

Giving us all flashbacks to the Indiana game. Nooooo!. But, you're right, and the O-line and offensive game planning have to be on to keep the QB from getting rattled. Good ole coaching.
