Yeah, I don't like that when recruits put on an Oregon hat and then take it off and put on another school...so it goes both ways. I wish they would not do that.

It's all good, my coaching friend. Great readers here will disagree and the important thing is, regardless of our differences...each of us can state our views, (no matter how far out) and everybody still has to be nice. It is refreshing to disagree in a civil fashion with no downside and it is fun.

I completely agree with you on both counts with this sentence. And Aliotti coached Justin Wilcox at Oregon, and loved his brother Josh, so there is a real loyalty issue there that clouds his judgment too.

Ouch, Ouch, Ouch! I am feeling... You make a good point, but we have not had a GREAT running back since Royce Freeman, but perhaps Benson and Cardwell will change that.

Priceless. Every Oregon fan should see that! Funny, funny, funny....

Without that great defense and Sedona Prince....where would they be right now? How would those games lost have gone if we'd had the Sedona we saw yesterday? Great stuff and THANKS!

Heyward would not be the full DC, but Co-DC with Sirmon as DeRuyter was. Coach Sirmon is lining himself up to be DC somewhere as well eventually...

The two facts still stand out to me....he effectively shut down Oregon for a full game between the last two contests, (first half of 2019, and the second half of 2020)...think of it; not scoring for a full half in each game? The other fact is how he has already game-planned for each team in the conference, and thus there will not be any learning curve for him in game-planning for opponents. Huge...

Your post is both very funny, and yet profound....if you can't beat 'em, then hire 'em!

That is fair, and both teams have very high upsides yet this season and that will be fun to watch.

Southern Duck...you are new and I love your participation in these discussions about Womens Basketball--great observation about Dugalic. She does play a very quiet, but impactful game for the Ducks. What I loved about that game is how FOUR FRESHMEN were in double figures! Paopao, Dugalic, Prince and Parrish; beat the Huskies with four freshmen? Gotta love it!

It is official as Byron Cardwell committed to Oregon! He signs in a few weeks...

Makes sense, but we do not know for sure and I still have all these questions...

The Head Coach of Kansas City is also a former offensive lineman who played for Brigham Young along with Jim McMahon in 1978-1980. Yet he is highly innovative with his plays coming up with new constraint or variations at key moments that surprise the defense and win. I'm sure he thinks his team is "tough" but he would also rather win, than demonstrate that toughness. I was impressed with how last week--he needed to run out the clock with a reserve quarterback and did so with innovation to preserve the victory. Now yes I know how important the QB is, but it is also game-planning and plays. Coach Mosier just told me on the phone a few days ago that when he went back to the Kelly-Helfrich games recently, he was stunned at how innovative Mark was compared to what he sees now. I wish he would look to Coach Andy Reid as an example to follow....

I was quite surprised to see in the telecast of the UO-OSU Men's basketball game the two players held out due to COVID protocols sitting on the sidelines at the game in MKA. It was said that the players were asymptomatic, but can't you still spread the disease when in that condition? If you have tested positive....shouldn't you quarantine from EVERYONE until the time period passes and you test negative? Yes I know they were wearing masks, but that is another issue as so many of them are a thin cloth layer of which serve more for appearance than effectiveness. It just seems to me that they should not have been there possibly infecting others? Could they have worn those masks and played since they were there anyway? (I do not think they should have been there at all) Or perhaps I do not understand and would love to be corrected. What is your understanding and how should that have been handled in your opinion?

And now we have an announcement time....and he is a 4-Star on Rivals! Our best prior year for 4-Star and 5-Star signings was two years ago with 14, but this year we have 16 and this could bring it up to 17!

It was cool, but darn that hurts losing that game...

You gotta love it when the Huskies are the "get-well" game!

Whoa. He learned from Coach LeBeau? That guy is the GURU of the 3-4 defense...

I have never understood that with the speed of LMJ and his toughness.

If there was ever a team to be playing with those two out....this is it. Will I ever say this again? Thank goodness for the Huskies!

Wow. Good thing this isn't going on now! (I just hope it is not at Oregon)
