Glad I stayed out this one... : )

What can I say? I'm a metaphor junkie! Nice input.

I hear ya, makes ya wonder if that warm up game against Hawaii might have been worth it.

Depth... another element of a title contending program.

Haha , yeah gotta rethink all "acceptable" quirky habits you had with the ex, and error on the side of safety. 🙂

Zing!!!!!! Good one! 😆. I wanna go further with that one, but the adult in me is refraining. Yup, go Buffs! Maybe they'll win 5 games this year?

Aaaaah! Pragmatism! Always a sure route. But, I do like to get a little preseason high come August with all the sunshine, and the predictions, and analysis, and stuff that doesn't really matter. I can't help it!😃 I'm a sucker!

Well thanks, Hayward. 12-team playoff. It almost sounds like college football polygamy. Kinda weird, huh!? Gotta love the dogs (real dogs, not UW), my little Walter and other dog Chewy still live me!

C'mon Charles, obviously I'm being an 80s, Eugene homer!!! Lol. Of course I'm gonna pick a kid from Sheldon HS!.

I remember that first game in '87. My dad, big brother, and I went down to a close circuit watch party in the Autzen parking lot because the game was not on TV. They played Colorado and were expected to lose with this scrawny true frosh at qb. Ironically, Musgrave came from Colorado as the high school player if the year. The "it" factor was there from the get go. Very smart player. His weak arm is what held him back in the NFL but was fine for college. If not for mid season injuries his freshman AND sophomore years, the Ducks probably made a bowl in all 4 of his seasons.

Yeah, i hear ya on the new Big 12 teams, I think me still rooting for them comes down to supporting teams out west.

Thanks for the stats and perspective, Jon!

Thanks, yes, they definitely do need to TRY HARDER

Portland and Oregon couldn't have asked for a better fit for the state's greatest sports legend.

That's great, I had never thought of that, that non-sports fans might tune in just for Bill. Good stuff.

Thanks for the share. Yes, there are some things that I learned from his broadcasts outside of basketball, for sure.

Thanks for sharing. Good stuff!

Agree. UCLA just can't get anything right. And, their new football coach hire was uninspiring, to say the least.

Nice points, Jon. Thanks!

It sure will. The irnony is that the two major sports that drive revenue, football and men's basketball, will be the sports that get affected the least. It's all the non-rev sports that will suffer the most.

What?! You're not pulling for the mullet in Stillwater?

Yeah, he's going places.

Thanks, Hayward. And a lot of the young man's game is being able to relate to today's athletes. There is a reason the greatest NFL ever doesn't have a job this year.

It's a serious issue and one that doesn't get the attention it deserves. 😉

I'm sure you told him to stick to shoes, not courts! Thanks
