Man he looks demonic there! Whew we dodged a huge 50 Caliber Bullet there people. That just isn't a good look to me anyways and thanks for the picture Fish. Yes mario was a great recruiter but a terrible Xs and Os HC and really no coaching up players. So I really didn't like where this team was headed. Ugly offense and he will not succeed at Miami if he stays with his failure to evolve which is fine with me because I still have a BAD Taste in my mouth from his terrible offenses. Good Riddance.

I'm glad all those are gone finally. I hope Dye and CJ leave as well as they are not break away RBs and if this offense want's to go to the stratosphere then we need speed behind center.

Charles I agree with McKinley being a first round pick as he will and should flourish at the NFL level. Kayvon though I just have a hard time rooting him on because of how he played at the end of the season and not playing in the Alamo game. This is how this stuff needs to work out going forward is it doesn't let players out of performing on the field regardless and the only way is if your injured and you can't play. Lets all remember they are getting paid and this guys already a millionaire. If I were Detroit I would take Hutchinson because he's a home grown and never stops playing. To me he's just going to have a career like all top BIG 10 D lineman and lets be honest he did way more against better competition than did Thibodeaux.

I love and want the kid to but if you think Moss will make the same kind of impact as Thib's his first year I just don't see it. He needs to add at least 15 to 20 lbs of muscle to play the same position and be more suited to be an OLB or rush LB. He's not gonna be able to hold the edge on run plays either way you want to look at it. GO Ducks Just Do It. I'll also add one more tidbit to the just do it. Be Quiet and let your play on the field do the talking. Honestly I don't see the need for players to have interviews and talk as if they got this only to get blown out against Utah.

I did like Big Joe but man he was not a great recruiter and never brought on 1 five star D Lineman. That's what's going to win you championships and that's why Tosh was hired as he can recruit and coach these kids up. I was hoping Mario would ask Holati to come be the Ducks D Line coach. Anyways do love Joe and we could have done better and now we have a way better staff on paper.

H'mm wonder if Lupoi our new DC has phoned Mr Moss up? I would imagine that to be the case and when Mario was here we weren't really sure if Moss was going to come here at all. I mean why all of a sudden would he want to go clear across the country now unless it was Bama. Heck I think I'd pick them or even SC before I went to Miami. Man they got some of the ugliest uni's on the planet.

Be real nice if he could stay on the field as he was better than CJ and Dye by a mile with his abilities. Mario honestly lied about open competition because that was clearly not the case. The QB position was a prime example as he brought in the QB he wanted for his Drudge pudge running offense. AB was not allowed to throw the ball down the field apparently. I thought it was going to be an open competition for every position. Lanning and his staff need to make sure this is a reality for recruits to come in and compete as the best man plays in all 11 positions regardless what your ranking is.

Mario actually did so much damage to this team than we even know. I mean some of the holes that O Line made when they wanted to if James, Barner, Stewart, Tyner seen those they would have been gone. We would have had at least 10 more TDs a year. Speed kills and we don't have close to enough of it at RB position. What happened to looking for recruits who run a 4.4 40? We need that element to open up the play down the field also. We have the W/Os that can run and I can't remember having 3 with the same capabilities.

Yeah that one was a stinker!

Well get used to it because that's the way it's gonna be. I mean could a team poach a Bryce Young from BAMA for a lot of money? Now that would be ok with me.

Honestly I loved Ashford because he could play Baseball and was pretty good at it. Thompson is the heir apparent to the thrown and Robby I seriously doubt was ever gonna get a chance or we would have seen him jump both Ty and Butter's. Wherever he goes I hope he has positive results as long as it's not Miami. We need Ty to win the QB battle over Nix. If Nix wins the job and there's no doubt that he will be great then fine. All's I know is he better win every PAC 12 game. I will say this I don't remember who compared him to AB but that's crazy because I think NIX is better period.

They just paid a new DC that will trump Andy and Tim times two. Neither of those guys really brought the talent that was on this team even into a TOP 20 Defense. They paid over 5 Million to get it done and Tosh has pretty much done a great job wherever he's been. So could Oregon and this new staff get a number 1 class in the nation? I believe they could or can if Phil delivers the pay. Not just pay for all the best but pay for the players they fell can be complete 11 on each side of the ball. Team play and it really was only half most the time with this roster. Here is what I believe will happen and this staff will out recruit whatever Mario did and then some. What was his best class 6th. I would think Coach Lanning and this staff will get at least 3rd for 2023s class.

So are they putting in a new stadium?

I would just like to see some semblance of a RB that can hit paydirt like the old days and not stuck in quicksand if you know what I mean. Hey I love what CJ and Dye have done for Oregon but it's time for them to move on. No more free meals, lol. Most important even over the RB position is QB. Who is going to give us the shot at even reaching the playoff's?

Or rub salt in their wound!

Lets just say Lets just say no they wont!

Remember SCs last Championship? Well they got a whole lot of room to talk as at least now it's legal they got caught giving RB I think was around 6 hundred thousand dollars. I think they had to forfeit that championship. Its funny when people start harping and you know why they do it? Because they have a guilty conscience a little. SC, the Mutt's I just need or we all need Oregon to win a freaking championship so these people will shut the heck up.

Man I just don't care about the Mutt's and for some reason everybody wants to know what's going on with them. I hate the Husky's seriously wish it would just go away. Click bait!

You know what Heyward it's just to bad they didn't think about that 10 years ago and maybe we'd be Champions.

Sorry I meant to add that the board or trustee's have to ok it!

OK we've all complained about the degrading game we used to love so much. So are we going to jump on the band wagon or not? If Phil has to pay to get it done then so be it and like is slogan for Nike say's " Just Do It " and you may have all noticed I've been writing that in all my post's. I mean these off seasons are just getting to hard so if this is how they want it someone please get an interview with Phil and ask him the tough questions because I'm really interested in if he's 100% on board. Because if he's not then I'm done because I've got better things to do than this. Its what the world has come to and it's gonna be done here real soon anyways. The system of things cannot go on much longer with what we see unfolding in front of our eye's and I'm not just talking Football which is not competitive nation wide. Its the rich that get what they want and that's all gonna be going away soon enough. Anyways it's what it is and can we just pay for the best now that it's allegedly acceptable by the NCAA who were supposed to stop cheating a long long time ago and let the SEC seemingly get away with it. So lets at least challenge the big boys for the prize and if this is indeed the way it's supposed to go to pay to play then I expect some real great football players to start wearing Green and Yellow. I mean think about it people, what would people say if Oregon did just that? There is absolutely nothing they could say as now were just beating them at their own game and this time it's all allegedly legal. So Mr Knight it's all in your corner now.

I'm sure most people would agree with you and it's just not gonna really change that much. The only way Oregon gets in and wins it now is the " MONEY " Uncle Phil is willing to spend so we might as well just say it like it is, this is Phil Knight's team regardless of what people might think. He does have the money to pay or out bid anyone so lets quit the charade and get down to business and pay for that Championship. Doesn't matter what people think about it because that's how they want this to go for now on. SEC Football is to dominant and I want Oregon to put there mark in there! Its his trademark as in " Just Do It " so please Phil just do it now. I believe we will as they just paid for Tosh and gave him 1.7 Million to be our new DC. So if money is the number one factor then looks like maybe Oregon is on board now. Don't get me wrong but honestly I don't care about what everyone else does in the PAC I'm an Oregon Duck fan and that's it.

Well it's official Lupoi is now our new DC and the highest paid one ever. 1,700,000 a year which is pretty high. His contract is through 2024. Go Ducks and Just Do It.

We should know what the Chargers off season should be about. Making that defense 100 % better. Draft should should be all about making that D a top 10 unit and this is the only thing really holding this team back. Don't know what their money structure is but hopefully they are well below the Cap so they can bring in some difference makers at defense. Go Chargers and man that is a cool stadium. I just wish that was in San Diego.

Honestly it's about time. Also this is a violent sport and I'm really curious if they would ever be able to stop head injuries and I just don't think it's possible. Your neck or spinal column is very fragile so it's not just the head with the injuries that cause concussions. It will be nice if they can because of the money they spend that should be number one on their list always. Hopefully it puts concussions way down but I just don't see it stopping them completely. Especially when they hit with their head the crown and I know there not supposed to but it still happens.
