Time for power conferences to outlaw these games. Nothing but a glorified scrimmage, not entertaining, and really tells us nothing.

Willie is currently the Running Backs coach for The Ravens. Nice to see he has finally found his true calling as a position coach. 🤣

Hey, it's not me, it's those dang Heisman voters! I just report on this stuff. ; )

Thanks, nice to be back in the saddle!

Uncle Phil, that would have been nice, as well as own the Blazers. If the Beavs go to the Mountain West, I wonder if he'll donate money to OSU to make them a Group of 5 power and a potential all-Oregon national championship game! Ya never know. Obviously he's a Duck, but also a state of Oregon guy through and through. He did donate money to the OSU baseball team that one time. Hmmmm.....

oh, there's one i didn't think of. thanks!

Thanks, and thanks for reading!

Definitely would wanna keep that one regional, New Yorkers might be a little thrown off. Oops.

That's pretty good. Got me thinking about The Police song Message in a Bottle. "Message in a BOttle to Heisman voters: Bo for Heisman!" It's too long and too stupid, but hey, we're just having fun here

My only response to that, is this: ; )

Yes, we need at least measurable improvement on defense. Of course, there was that whole USC thing (shi**y defense) last year, but the glamour of LA and the media hype machine that follows helped with that. Unfortunately, the Ducks don't have that advantage.

Yup, I think we want USC in P12 championship game and send them to the B10 in style!. Traitors.

Yes, must protect the quarterback. I don't get why that is such a difficult concept at times. Even if it does cost us getting the occasional first down, it is better to play it safe with the health of the qb. Should only purposely put the qb at risk in DIRE situations, like with the game on the line... Or, needing to cover a spread I may have put a few bucks on. 😀.

Wait a second, I might be wrong, but weren't you against them playing Georgia last year? And then on top of that critical of them also playing BYU in the same season? . I really do not see what the big deal is. I have no problem with the out of conference scheduling. Let's be realistic, you can't get the likes of Oklahoma and Ohio State every year. Those teams do have to agree to play the Ducks and it's not always easy to find openings. These things get scheduled years in advance, so before all the summer of 2021 chaos. Scheduling middling to solid Big 12 programs in not taking the easy road out. Not to mention in three of these years they also play Boise State on top of the schools mentioned above. If Mullens schedules the "tough" games then he gets grilled for making the path to the playoff harder, if he doesn't then he gets called a wimp. He's "Damned if you do, damned if you don't." Hopefully, Michigan State in 2029 and 2030 is good enough for those being critical of Mullens. And, then, alas the Buckeyes in 2032 and 2033.

Hmmmm... I've been wrong about a lot of things regarding conference alignment. But, I say wait. It is almost a lock that the Big 10 will invite these two schools leading up to 2030. Perhaps over the next few years, UCLA realizes they made a mistake and come back. But, the only chance of that is if OR and UW are still in the Pac. But, then again, what the hell, got to the Big 10. : )

Well, last week, Altman said he wants guys who are dedicated and hard-working. Clearly, this past year's team did not have enough of those guys, if any. And, based on Altman's comments about Ware in mid-season, about his lack of effort and focus, he might have been the poster child for this. It's possible Altman had a talk with Ware in which they both agreed he should move on. This sucks on the surface, but it could be the best thing.

Then settle it with the men's team on the court!!! Oops 🤭

Ok, forget I mentioned Kentucky and instead wrote" (Though a bit humbling when you see that Duke has a whopping 5 of the Top 20. Yikes" ) ; )

I get where you are coming from. I'll first say that Richardson is a very good player and has been a great asset to the Ducks. But, Richardson has by default been the "goto guy" for the Ducks the past two seasons. The problem is, he's just not that guy. He's a great compliment to a "goto guy." So, as the "goto guy" he wasn't very good. If he were coming back next season he'd play along with Shelstad very nicely. Hopefully, he can find a niche overseas and make some money for himself.

It'll be exciting to see as the Ducks should be a better team next year.

A Portland area rep where crime is sky high this is who she goes after? Hmmmm.... I've seen in hoops where the home team gets a technical foul. In my observation punishing the team on the court gets fans back in line quickly. I'm sure they could think of something like this for football.

Yep, should see some improvement with that next season.

Certainly couldn't hurt.

Having been a high school bench warmer, I can relate to guys who have not seen the floor much. Yup, you come in all wired with your mind racing. But, if they enter next season as part of the rotation and get some solid minutes, that should fade away.

It's true, if approved, the Ducks will never join the Big-Ten. Guaranteed the Oregon legislature would only approve of the move if OSU goes as well, and if the that's the case then the Big-Ten won't take the Ducks. They don't want the dead-weight Beavers watering down the slice of the pie.
