Thanks Charles. I saw that but I wonder why if the deal's all that why like Tucker, Franklin, and others he has yet to sign?

They make like him but they play like undisciplined fools under Herm's 'leadership.' Fire Herm after an OK season and it may be seen as coping to the NCAA violations?

CFB stats should always be qualified by the level of the opposition played. On the defensive side of the ball, the Ducks played in Columbus; ASU played at Baylor. But great topic Charles. My answer is 'No', not in the least satisfied when it comes to the numbers on O but the numbers are the product of the system run on O.

Rumor has it that LSU reached out to Riley and he turned the Tigers down. Riley is headed to money making SEC? Why take a chance on moving to a conference with nowhere near the stability of the SEC? 1 guy not locked up as of yet is the one guy with SoCal ties, Baylor's Dave Aranda. Can't officially move on Aranda before Baylor plays OK ST in the B12 champ game. Aranda was raised in Redlands, went to Cal Lutheran and has family in LA. He would likely bring his entire staff including his excellent OC along with him. The Baylor turnaround in year 2 of Aranda being the HC has been amazing. But he has only been a HC for 2 years. I would think that Bama OC Bill O'Brien is on SC's radar?

Best recruiter in the game. Fantastic home record. But game preparation, baffling no shows and game management, including clock management have to improve. BTW, thanks Pac-12 for giving 1 of the teams in the champ game an extra day's rest.

Saints be praised! As I posted elsewhere, the Ducks amazingly, are not out of the Final 4! PS - I want to borrow Nick Saban's horse shoe.

B12 Champ Game - Baylor defeats OK ST. That's a 2 L Baylor B12 Champ. No big OOC win. B1G Champ Game - Iowa defeats Michigan- That's a 2L Iowa BIG champ. No big OOC win. AAC Champ Game -Houston defeats Cincinnati - That's an off the radar No. 24 Houston . 12-1 conference champ Houston is a G5 team without the Cincy love. SEC Champ game - UGA rolls Bama. That's a 2l and many the close call for Bama. UGA 13-0 SEC Champ Notre Dame. Cincy loses to Houston and ND's 1L looks worse. And ND plays 12 not 13 games. 11-1 NDs big 25 win Wisconsin, lost today at Minnesota. ND's schedule is exposed. Pac-12 Champ game - Oregon pays back Utah and than some. .Oregon has to put it to the Utes. 11-2 OR has a win versus top 8 (?) Ohio State And a win versus top 25 Utah. Oregon is a conference champion.

Check the MI ST alumni base vs the Miami alumni base. Check the will of administrations in the B1G to spend big on football vs the ACC. If Miami was serious about football they would be talking about renovating the orange bowl. Doesn't mean Mario wouldn't trip to Miami? But Canes boosters are not coming with a $96M deal we just saw for Tucker or the similar deal for Franklin at Penn State. Miami does not have the $ B1G and SEC teams have. The ACC last season distributed less per team than did the Pac-12. Florida on the other hand?

Good win.

Stanford will probably win tonight but in a sport other than football.

And i hope we Noah Sewell ready to go?

I don't think Miami has the money to pay Mario's $9M buy out, Diaz' buy out and come with a whole lot more $ than Mario is making?

WHEW! Another close call Hopefully, Noah and other dinged guys will be able to play in Las Vegas? How about the Frosty Cornhuskers - 9 Ls. by 1 score! Beat Utah!

Interesting hire. Guy who is known for developing 3 stars and not recruiting big time talent.

LOSING HAPPENS. If the favorite won on every occasion, why not just sim instead of play the game? Sim, and Oregon does not take a loss at Stanford. When your team takes an L you at at very least want it to show up and play to its ability. And you do not want the L to come against teams that should not be on the same field of play with you. And if you are less than a 3 point dog (cat?) you do not want to get blown out. On a given day an underdog playing hard and defeating you is one thing. Not showing up to play at the level of your ability is entirely different. On too many occasions Oregon under Mario has simply not been prepared to play ball anywhere close to its level of ability.

SMART. I except that he is no longer the lowest paid coach in the conference?

A guy who can beat UGA? But Mullens did just that a year ago.

Let's Ignore History Game? The good guys won. 100,000 black soldiers fought and died for the Union.

IMO. He should be a legit candidate for UW and WSU jobs. With a w over Utah he has a legit argument, along with BYU, for the Pac-12 S title?

Disagree? YES. But don't be disagreeable when you disagree. Our nation's government is built on debate and righteous discourse. Opinions matter. Opinions will ruffle feathers including Duck feathers. But my opinion is not always correct and your opinion deserves my respect.

I think it's down to Stroud and Young?

BRILLIANT! Tomorrow I ask of Thee, Good Ducks or Bad Ducks show up against the Beavs?

Corral should get a Heisman invite to NY.

The Egg Bowl last night made me yearn for 'the good old days." When the games were entertaining and not a grind. When top drawer receivers played in space and made some excellent catches. But also where the spread set up very good run games. Faced paced offense, spreading the field, with solid D by both teams. Hats off to Lane Kiffin for finishing 10-2 and in his 2nd season having Ole Miss set to play in the Sugar Bowl or the Peach Bowl. Ole Miss/MS ST was a chance to watch up-tempo college football, compared to watching Mario's go slow, pro-like offense. It will be very interesting to see if Mario has the team ready to play tomorrow? Only 1L in Autzen for Mario to date. But the Beavers will be coming in motivated and with a very good run game. Way motivated if UW wins the Apple Cup and the Beavers are playing for a North title. Play like vs Fresno, Arizona, CAL and at Utah and the Beavs win.

Ducks 24 - Beavs 17 1, 2, 175
