This guy is a tremendous analyst, and brings up some points that I noted, and a lot more....

He has changed his tune on the Oregon-Indiana game, and do check out the superb analysis video in the next post as well.

Great topic, and thanks to all who begin threads. I agree with HappytoBeADuck in that once we win two 'Nattys, and are consistently in the top ten...then we are "currently" Blue-Blood. Stop winning and that definition changes; Clemson won a couple, but are they Blue-Blood now?

Wrong response. Oregon was after Phil Knight for YEARS, and he refused. Not until Oregon went by themselves to the Rose Bowl and Cotton Bowl did Phil agree to help. Tell the Beavers...."Winners want to work with winners." Oregon deserved the support. What has Oregon State done? Tell them to blame THEIR administrators. Oregon State was overpaid for decades from the conference, and they cruised on it. They need to take responsibility for their own bad management...

"Oregon left the conference for money" they claim...then they steal 30 million from us. "Oregon destroyed the conference" they assert....then they go and destroy the Mountain West.

Wow. Great zinger,--a B1G one! He is the "KING" of the one-liners ...

Precisely. The only yellow clothing anyone has is a T-Shirt...

Whatever... Wait...I just noticed something! That is a VERY COOL HELMET! OK...so green pants we did not have at the B1G Championship last year...

I am not real thrilled with our uniform combos; too much black, and bizarre crowd matchups. Let me get this right...the crowd is wearing YELLOW? And we wore black versus Oregon State? Sorry, by Duck-Buddies, but I call it the way I see it. All those making these color decisions in the Cas Center?

Cig....who's your Daddy at Autzen?

Yes, a 70% chance all day, but about 40% during game time....so maybe we get lucky? I'd like it to be easy for the teams and the fans there... You make a good point about receivers making their breaks, and defensive backs being able to turn quickly. I see more problems in pass coverage, as one slip can make an explosion play. Both QBs are used to practicing in the rain over the last year, so I doubt we see passing declining. A big game we gotta win!

Exceptional coach with a group of 3-Star players who have been coached up, and sprinkled with some star skill players....yep, Oregon has been there. Fun article Darren, as your writing style is unique and entertaining.

It was just reported by The Athletic that the Browns traded veteran QB Joe Flacco to the Bengals, who need someone better than former Husky Jake Browning. So that leaves Sanders and Dillon Gabriel left for the Browns at QB--what an opportunity for him!

Lanning is special, and could end up as best if he remains at Oregon long enough, and continues to find and recruit extraordinary assistants. Think of it....many feel Will Stein is one of the best OCs in the college game right now, he was coaching at UTSA, and at a high school before that? Talk about finding a-diamond-in-the-rough! Nice article Alex...

Listening to Cignetti bluster...

We will be adding Miami to this list, as Cristobal will blow it eventually. How? I'm sure Mario will figure it out...

It is a new/old wrinkle, as we ran it under Helfrich in 2014 with Freeman and Tyner, and then later with Joe Moorhead as OC. The Oregon Offense: The Powerful Moorhead ISO Play

I did not have a backlink order for Monday... With all the vices I have...gambling is not one of them. Never actually been on any of those sites, but gotta link them to pay the bills!
