Georgia finally got it done with all that top tier talent they had brought in 4 years coming. Bravo for them because I was wondering when they would and low and behold Kirby gets it done finally with who as is DC, why our brand A@M, and still BAMA. Both of them have or are in the TOP 5 in recruiting every year for like the past 4 seasons. 4 star through 4 star and 5 star type players. About who we've brought in by just the transfer Portal is pretty interesting. The DT from the Mutts is a beast. Better right now than any of those DL A@M has. I see this team hopefully doing even better than anything Mario brought to the table and especially with how he ended last years season which to me is unforgettable. Mario you could say " TANKED " Oregon's season and to me the players did also. A lot of good stuff going on and this young staff looks legit. Good things are going to come and so hopefully that will be as injury free as we can be for the whole season. Oregon I just feel will work the season and win most their games barring again any major injury's. Also it needs to happen now. Why, because now all bets are off this is easily Semi Pro or whatever you want to call it, it's money is involved now and Tennessee payed a lot for that QB who was apparently at one time wanted to come to Oregon and we all know what they payed him to come there. You could say No Brainer for him on what to do. So to keep up Oregon needs to do whatever it cost's to win it all. That is all I can ask for and hope for now. enough is enough it's time.

Honestly with this roster being as deep and talented that it is I expect Oregon to play for the PAC 12 Title period. Dan Lanning seems to me with all the moves he's making it's about competition and you play the best you get that 1 spot. So on and so on! This guy get's it and he's taking every advantage this new PIL deal will give him and why the heck not. Lets be honest about the direction CF is now on. Its called the fittest wins and the one who uses everything to their advantage should come out on top. Exciting times in Eugene. This is not what I ever wanted nor would ever come to this. So I either jump on board for what might be the last few times we actually are privileged to witness Oregon actually get this done. Also one more note as in the Altman teams as well as WBB, WSB, MBB and so on as it's all getting competitive and what more could we ask for?

Yes, yes yes 40+ points a game and a Georgia shut down defense if you please and with the talent and the talent in these coach's I just see this being a real possibility.

First I've heard of A@M leading for this Rashada guy and honestly I don't think Jimbo is that good of a HC anymore and he did it at FSU and look at all the star power they have gotten since he got there and they continue to fall way short with all that talent. I believe Rashada is all Oregon's to lose. Dixon was a 4 star and R is a 5 star so there is a difference yet I do like the comparison. Whoever we get at QB though needs to be legit, ready to play and compete for the starters position. That's the difference when 5 star QBs come to your school.

Honestly I hate SC just a TAD little lower than Purple Puke up North and I mean hate. I don't like the arrogance from them and never have and I never want that team to ever win another or even Sniff a championship ever again. I just hope Oregon kills it with 2023 class and is the best class in their history yet. So can we go what 5 years running now of winning the recruiting battle with SC. With Riley now there this will speak volumes of how far Oregon indeed has come. It will I believe speak to their doom and Oregon's new winning it all. No offense SC sucks and I just can't make myself read anything ever about them and also this is a Duck site anyways so thanks but no thanks. Soory I just hate that school. The only thing I've ever loved from that School was the best Safety ever to play the game and you should know who that was. AKA Ronnie Lott and he played for my favorite team the San Francisco 49ers. It was an amazing time in Niner history and that first year that whole backfield made the Pro Bowl, 3 were Rookies and Hicks came over from somewhere else. Lott is a Football Great and loved the game as he cut off his pinky toe I believe to keep playing one year or had it amputated so he wouldn't miss any time so that's a Football Freak that unfortunately played at SC. Like I said he was the best.

Great stuff and it just seems to happen this way from clear back to when Dixon and Chips offense were killing opposing defenses with the spread he gets injured. We had the talent to win and make the playoff's yet Coaching hampered that. Now we may actually get what weve always wanted a real team on both sides as in maybe dominant. That will be only if these coaches are as good as we think they are. I honestly don't think there are to many RBs anywhere on the planet that will stop Noah from getting to the QB. Now it's up to our uber talented DC and uber talented EX DC new HC to make many miss matches they can find and they are there. As for Flowe this guy is Ray Lewis 2 and I seriously hope he has a full season with Sewell to make every QB very uncomfortable and that will lead to many TO's.

No thanks! Lost interest in the Blazers after Allen bought the team and then went on with the guy next to him sack all the great individuals who did such great work to make the Blazers who and what they were for so long before Allen basically bought them and put this team on the long downward spiral because he was always involved like he knew anything about the sport. Now his equal in ownership his sister who inherited everything is equally worse at this task of making the Blazers respectical. Allen was the worst owner Portland could have ever gotten because he sucked at it. Just because your a Billionaire doesn't give you the right to bury the franchise that actually brought so much enjoyment to us fans. Now you have these fans that just don't get it and support this team and there losing ways. Its a lose lose situation and the NBA to me should be involved in procuring the right owner and it's to bad Knight wouldn't buy them. Either way the Blazers are losers and who wants to pay for that every year.

I seriously wonder sometimes how Cowerd got this big or maybe the ESPON Hype show did most of it.

Only thing I remember about Sanchez is the famous BUTT fumble and these predictions from him make me LOL! SC included with the SUCK as in what on earth are they smoking down there?

I know this sounds crazy yet we are looking at a perfect storm for next season. I truly believe Oregon is hands down the best talent wise, best coaching wise so therefore they should to me win every PAC 12 game. Now if Nix starts throwing interceptions Lanning I'm quite sure wont sit there and watch this offense go down hill extending to a loss. He has two QBs that should be able to come in and generate offense so that part should be interesting.

Well from the way Bo played in the spring game I'd say it's his to clearly lose! This could be a very good football team if everybody's heads are screwed on right. I want a Ducks team like the old Chip Kelly days where they knew on whatever field they were playing they would come out victorious. I have to laugh on the Ducks Wire site one of the articles talked about how SC and Oregon would benefit if they make the conference championship how the Big 12 or SEC did it but then when I clicked on it there and behold SC site and of coarse you can figure out what they said. It talked about SC being the best team and they should win the conference next year and I had to seriously laugh and LOL. That team just because they got Okie's QB doesn't mean squat if your not gonna have time to throw the ball. It makes me laugh how SC now has it all because of the " BAILER " left a better team because he was scared of the SEC. Riley isn't whatever everybody thinks he is as if you look at the past he had pretty talented teams but always got beat when it counted most and even in his league. To me Oregon should clearly be the best the PAC has.

That is unfortunate about people talking smack about your assumptions with regarding Mario's biased hate for throwing the ball down the field. I appreciate your knowledge of the game and would never say anything to the contrary about your obvious knowledge and I'm sure everybody on here does the same. As far as believing Lanning I believe because he planned the D in that Title game that won the game because lets be honest their QB to me never did install to much confidence behind center. So to me it was that Defensive game plan that brought back the Title to Georgia not the offense. So I also believe that Lanning is a whole lot smarter than Mario is to letting his coaches do their magic to their specific specialty because he gets the point that it's all the parts that will make this Ducks team succeed and why wouldn't you want your offense scoring boat loads of points if they are indeed capable of suck success. I believe and thank you Mario for the players he did bring in on offense that obviously weren't being used properly. Also when you recruit top players you need to be true to your word because it wont take long for your word to prove true in the long run. So if Dan the Man does indeed he can bring a Championship to Oregon then he has to bring it on the field to get the best players and the best players want to play with the best opposite them and they want to score points and have that offense " Showcase " their abilities. So I'd believe Mr Lanning Charles because he believe's it.

My question about Richardson is why would he be on anybodys radar? He really hasn't done anything to what his upside suggested when he came to Oregon. Look at Bol for instance this guy should have stayed 1 to 2 more years in Dana's system and more than likely would have been a top 10 pick with guaranteed money. Who are the people giving these young guys this terrible info? If all those players that left that year just stayed one more season Oregon no doubt in my mind would have been a Final 4 team.

Well what it tells me about this young man or any other player who transfers out is the coach's know who's gonna play and obviously this guy isn't one of them. One thing to remember is where is the best competition among HS players at? Who do these 4 and 5 star players go to battle against on a regular basis? I mean the talent in Washington is way better than Oregon's HS talent to which I'm not understanding those particulars over the States where these kids play. If were talking about rain well that's one place it rains even more than here. Back to David is that maybe he's not putting in the time like others are and especially the playbook as I don't care if your a walk on you better know the playbook inside out and that goes for everybody. No excuses remember it started out if you got a Scholarship that meant you got a " FREE RIDE" for 4 years to get a Degree because most these guys aren't gonna play at the NFL level. Now it's just off the charts and I'm just waiting for the NFL to want something done about the type of money being given to these " CF players " because it's BS!

100% Agree.

Yeah buddy!

Honestly do not respect KT in any way. Mario is a close second as in two face.

Out with the UGLY and in with the "BIG DOG " and his equally top staff. Mario who!

Man that is one oogly house! Thanks for sharing. Now I think I'm gonna go ralph. Did he purchase a little pool house for Minnie Me to stay at on his property?

Hope he makes the team! Sucked when he hurt his knee against FSU because he and a few others would have meant a different result against the Suckeye's.

I always knew Flintstone was smart!

OH how far the Oregonian has fallen. There ya go another " EXPERT " giving his opinion. The Ducks would have to really suck to only win 8 games. That's not even remotely reasonable. I would say Oregon wins every PAC game and their only loss will be the 1st game of the season. 11-1 is what they should be at the end of the season because the talent is there over any other Pac team and now we actually have in reality coaches who know what Football should be like. You know how many times I've read articles where they talk about mismatch's. Its gonna be about torturing defenses and that's what your supposed to do not run the ball 60/40 as if your kicking the D lines butt for major gained yardage by your slower than normal RBs. This is gonna be a season like no other Duck fans and I'm telling you I feel it down in my bones that this is finally gonna work out. Go Ducks and Just do it!

Maybe Mr Cota just needed to get into the true colors he was always meant to wear to display what type of receiver he truly is. From what I understand is he caught some pretty sweet balls that were thrown up and he came down with them. Could be just what the DR ordered for him. I wish him well and at least he didn't go play for Washington.

Yeah no offense but I wouldn't call any of the journalist's at DT experts in players abilities. Its getting to be really irritating how much stuff is put out from these guys now like they really know what their talking about. 247 is a SEC biased place that just thrives to be heard. Now over here I have a totally different feeling with Green and Yellow writers at FD as they all point out what they talk about and they don't seem influenced by EGOTISM. Also talking about Johnson who delivered 4 sacks and like 5 stops behind the LOS are phenomenal. He then goes on to talk about KT as if he did anything remotely great at any time he played for Oregon as a can't miss player. That's not even remotely true about that cat as his talent should have produced a sack every game and the dude didn't come close or the most important games and they were both Utah games he doesn't even show up and remember people he was getting paid 7 figures and were not talking in the NFL. I have a pretty good feeling about the new staff though and all the players they bring in that they will get the most out of them and expect it.

So I did the math and Emmert is getting paid 18,951,895 Million a year. Now is this the same guy that owns the heavy hall company like moving houses. I heard that he isn't a nice man at all.
