I don't care who you are....that's FUNNY! (Below) Q: Stew, why is a safety worth only two points? It hardly ever happens, it requires the same type of mastery that offenses use on offense, and nothing gets a crowd more excited than realizing their team is in line to get one. If we made safeties worth five points, who would object? — Christian F. SM: I’d be all for it, mostly because I want to experience Iowa winning a football game 5-3.

If you want to know more about the new version of the F-15 EX, a video is below. Just skip ahead when you hit an ad, and the information is quite interesting. Costs versus utility vs cutting-edge!

Pretty cool, and the explanation is short and fun. Defending the skies above our GREEN REFUGE!

This makes the fourth transfer pitcher brought in....GOOD!

They had me until they mentioned Washington as a contender... Most of these pundits know nothing about the four teams joining the B1G besides the obvious.

Agreed, and I'm good with it. Why? Because I am a sicko who enjoys a bit too much the issues of other teams, and not only do I not care what anyone thinks.... I NEVER Said I Was Noble... So what do YOU think of your rivals?

The comments from USC fans that I shared in another thread came from ONE thread on a USC site, and that thread had ELEVEN pages of comments! Their hatred of us is epic!

I think our move to the B1G already helped get the recent CB recruit from the East, and many of us are already grateful for the move.

Interesting thought....people seem to have a bigger problem with Oregon's success than other teams.

"Oregon’s collection of four- and five-star football recruits dwarfs what USC has been able to do. Washington and UCLA also have reason to be concerned, alongside USC, about the extent to which Dan Lanning is stacking recruits and building future rosters in Eugene."

And the Pac-2 is on their own... I'm sure they'll put up a good fight...

Let's look at the number of Rivals 4/5-Stars for each school in the B1G for the 2025 High School Class. (This does not include portal transfers) Ohio State: 17 This is an astounding number, and they have 21 verbals total and are No. 1 in the nation at the moment. Oregon: 12 The Ducks have 14 verbals to date with more coming... Michigan: 11 Penn State: 11 USC: 9 The Have-Not Line? -------------------------------------------------------------- Wisconsin: 5 UCLA: 4 Maryland: 3 Nebraska: 3 Washington: 3 Rutgers: 3 Minnesota: 2 Iowa: 1 Illinois: 1 Indiana: 1 Michigan State: 0 Purdue: 0 Northwestern: 0 What conclusions do you arrive at?

I'm sure they'll put up a good fight...

I so LOVE the stat below!

We're ANNOYING Fans? We are just getting warmed up!

Another is Cole Fisher, from Millersville University of Pennsylvania and he has an ERA of 2.19 of which sounds better...

They did not mention his ERA, so I looked it up at Campbell and found that it was 5.48 hmmmm. Campbell pitcher Cole Peschl announces transfer to Oregon Ducks WWW.OREGONLIVE.COM The Ducks have a new arm on the squad via the transfer portal.

We can compare to those who have won multiple National Championships....what did they do in their first two years? Nick Saban's 1st two years: 12-11-1 (Saban lost to Louisiana Monroe his 1st season at Alabama) Kirby Smart's 1st two years: 21-7 (Kirby lost to Vandy his 1st season at Georgia) Dabo Swinney's 1st two years: 13-8 (Dabo lost to Georgia Tech his 1st season at Clemson) Dan Lanning's 1st two years: 22-5 (Dan is further ahead of them, and climbing at a rapid pace)

I agree with you...it seems longer. Maybe because we have been so involved with watching the progress...and had so many good things to enjoy? Spitballing. But bottom line is that it does seem longer. Good! Because we have a ton of winning coming up to savor...

Great stuff, and some sweet quotes. Oregon is making a number of fans elsewhere uncomfortable already, and are beginning to take their shots at Dan Lanning. Pate brings up some fantastic comparisons--love it! "Lanning has built an SEC program on the West Coast."

Fantastic. It makes all so much sweeter...

Another USC fan wrote... "Our recruiting strategy is 1. find guys we like, 2. find guys who like us, 3. offer our NIL, 4. bend over and get f'd by Oregon. NUFF said..."

I think I’m doing enough online activities these days that don’t make any money!

Well....I know someone who has all the games of the last 14 years in digital... Sorry I don't have an answer to your question...

"You know what? Good for them. They are passionate, they care, they are competent and have the money. All the things we lack to a certain degree. And nobody cares that they have 0 championships, they are at least trying to win one whereas our effort is flat out embarrassing. Stop clowning them for trying to win and clown our team and our people for not being good enough." "If we are not playing the same game as Oregon, TAMU, Ohio State or every other big hitter, we are gonna be completely irrelevant in a short period of time." "All that money and no championships. It will eventually drive Lanning crazy. He has players that don’t value the game over a dollar. Couple that with how poor of an in game coach he is and he will never succeed there." "A team bought by money. We’ll have to see who’s best." "Well, he ended up at Oregon, not Ohio State. Crystal balls are kinda useless at this point. Usc was in this race. I believe Gerard even said usc is the dark horse. But we are losing all over the place, not just here." "Oregon waits and then when it looks like we are going to get that recruit they "DROP THE BAG" to F us." "I know someone will put that they haven’t won a natty but the truth is with NIL and new age of recruiting. Elite recruits don’t give 2 ****** about “Blue Blood” status or any of that. The Zeroes are a lot closer to a natty than we will be and the gap continues to get bigger because they are kings of NIL." "Most fans are just in denial and rather pin the blame on Oregon's bag instead of focusing on the poor job USC (coaches, funding, NIL, infrastructure) is doing. Looking at yourself and admitting the truth is always more difficult." "People have been saying that (there will be a lot of unhappy players) for years but Oregon has done a surprisingly good job of retaining most of their talent. If they end up losing 1-2 players who weren't seeing the field it ends up being a benefit because they clear unproductive scholarships for a chance to bring in young guys who might contribute." "For D players who are heavily influenced by NIL Oregon's going to always be in a position to close, whether they’re initially in it or not: they have unlimited resources to close any deal plus they’re head coach is a defensive coach who can claim “Georgia coaching” as his influence and what he’s trying to do at Oregon. It sucks but it remains true. It’ll come down to out performing them on the field in order to flip the narrative about SC’s d and Oregon's trajectory towards being close to a title." "Stop making it seem like Oregon has the number 1 class in America and cleaning up every 5 star. They lose plenty of recruiting battles to other big time programs." "This is why I don’t even look at war rooms anymore. It’s pointless. We are quickly becoming a second tier program."
