When you think of it...Washington fans did not have long to enjoy their glory. They won the Pac-12 Championship, and waited a month with trepidation awaiting the Playoffs. Then they beat Texas, and only had a week to enjoy that, yet were worried about their upcoming game as well. Then they lost, and things have spiraled downward since.... That is a very short time to enjoy the glory. Now they have seven months of dread knowing what awaits them in 2024... KJR Radio Host "Softy" said that, "It's like having a weekend with a million dollar hooker and then going back to your fat ugly wife"

I prefer to think of it as...."nobility-impaired."

Perfect for Nose Tackle, and with a low center of gravity--he'll have good leverage. We lost both our NTs to graduation, so this fellow and new signee Jericho Johnson can alternate and plug the middle as Popo and Tani did.

You know...in the video inside an "X" post above, I could almost hear the pain in the mournful howl of the Husky. Wasn't it GREAT?

An answer to Oregon prayers?

Wowsa. Look at that second sentence....

Duck fans on other sites are reporting that Softy literally was crying on air today...

First their left offensive tackle declared for the NFL Draft, and now the right tackle...

I enjoyed this WAY too much! (Only plays for ten seconds...)

Husky fans today.... (You gotta hear this)

Husky Tears...

Pay site.

This is TERRIBLE News! The poor Husky fans... Makes me so SAD for them....

Such good advice...as I wish people would remember to ask themselves "is it rational" when they post on GameDay threads! (The stuff after the first touchdown by Portland State or Liberty? Whew!) That video is epic.

We know Dan Lanning is well compensated, and will be well loved when he wins one national championship at Oregon, whereas it would be one of simply meeting expectations at Alabama. Norvell? So many years of losing at Florida State after Bobby Bowden, and Norvell brings them an undefeated season? Do you think the fans there want to let him go? Do you think he will be loved more at Alabama than among Seminole fans? I don’t see him leaving either… Ditto for DeBoer at Washington, Kiffin at Ole Miss, and Freeman at Notre Dame. Sark has a pretty good thing going at Texas, would their fans let him go after all the so-so years of Longhorn football? Who in their right mind would want to follow Saban, when you can be idolized at your current school? Could Alabama have to turn to the second tier of coaches?

As if it was not going to be hard enough for a coach to follow Nick Saban...it just went up a few notches. While driving to the office from an appointment--I heard on Colin Cowherd that Saban is going to "remain at the university for some time" after he passes the baton. So a new coach has to duplicate what the best college coach ever has done AND begin his time at Alabama with the legend looking over his shoulder? Saban is still going to be on campus, and thus his shadow will remain in everyone's view. A new coach has to have full attention on him from the team, without any distractions. Think Nick hanging around would bother you if you were the new coach? Boy, Dan dodged a big one.

Last note...apparently there is more to Dan Lanning's contract than we realized. By winning 10 games, it is now automatically extended to 2029 and receiving 9.2 million that year. There is also deferred compensation of an undisclosed amount that would bump his annual current salary up from the seven million. And it is rumored there is NIKE stock involved that becomes his when he stays a given amount of time?

Keep in mind that Dan took a few days to respond to the Texas A&M rumors... My FishDuck Friends...I have to get to work. Somebody take over!
