He didn't use the word ALL fans and if you read fan comments on his site, you might see why he thinks the way he does. I am a diehard Duck fan, and think that only those who are actually IN the Pac 12, AKA now Pac 2 , should have control of the assets. The Pac 2 is not going to be allowed to give those who left nothing...the courts will decide that. I read both of you, like and respect both of you. I think Canzano was basing his comment on the feedback he gets all the time. I am not in favor of anybody getting screwed any more than they already have been. But teams that have left the Pac 12 for greener pastures, in my view, should not be making decisions about the conference they left. .

According to Mike Farrell, UCLA made a NIL offer that was substantially better than Oregon's. Considering that he may have to sit at UCLA as well, is likely giving up the chance to compete in the playoffs, and either way would have a new OC and new coach, I'm inclined to believe that $$$$ were an important issue. Still have no ill will towards the kid, who by all counts is a great person, not just a great player. But it's a reminder that kids change their minds and until they sign, who knows what will happen.

Great news. too bad Moore couldn't accept that few true freshman start . Imagine what he could have learned under Bo, a guy who knows the ups and downs. We will have a chance to play in the CFB playoffs most years. UCLA....not so much.

My problem is that this was a lesson that he was supposed to have learned from the Husky game. 2 losses directly attributable to terrible decision making- today's was worse than the last time. Going for it on our own 29 yr line against the league's best rush defense and our QB legs not functioning ???? Is this arrogance or just inexperience ? but how many games does it take to lose to understand there is a time and a place for going for it on 4th down?

Dillingham is driving me crazy with these trick plays...not that he uses them but WHEN. Last week he used it when we were driving for a TD and we were on the what, 4 yr line? Then this one...unbelievably bad call and doing it with TT as his first play? We were on our own 10 yard line, for crying out loud.

I would much rather each athlete be paid a set amount...the same amount. Hard feelings about the guy getting a million vs the guy getting nothing would be gone, along with some of the other obvious problems. Boosters would have less power to decide who is signed , and frankly, we wouldn't be buying players. It just feels scummy the way it is now. Can't fault a kid who has nothing to going to the school that pays the most, but may not actually be the birds fit for him.

I like a site that simply requires us to disagree with each other without attacking anyone. and yeah, attacking can be very lite but still be an attack. Well done, Charles.

YES, loved that, Cal Bear.

If MC can grow into realizing he is not a great game day coach, and have someone else either take that over, if he can let the offensive coordinator handle the offense, then i think there is a great chance for him to take them to the playoffs. I just have no reason to believe that will happen.

Beyond disappointed.

IMHO, he does not work hard enough to make as much of his natural talents as he could. It will hold him back.

His Dec 6th tweet said " stay the course."

You know this charity work is hogwash because employees of these non profits rarely make 50m k a yr unless they are in upper management. So we are to believe that doing a little charity work is of more value than the employee who does it 40 to 50 hrs a week? Pay for play. Absolutely.

A. Outstanding character, outstanding recruiter, young and enthusiastic, trained under some of the best. Everybody he has worked for thinks he is an incredible young man who will do great things.

The more I read about Lanning, the more I hear his own words, the more I like the guy. I think most of us will be calling this a home run, or at least a triple, before too long. This guy is not a typical 35 yr old. His wife had osteosarcoma at the age of 28. He stood before a group at an awards show and gave credit to his wife that was more than just 5 words. He has worked his butt off wherever he has been and everybody...kids, other coaches, administration, all seem to think he is exceptional. He comes across as humble, and appears to have his ego in check. He was listed as # 8 in recruiting , and recruited a 5 star QB. Not bad for a defensive guy. Let's hope for a strong OC hire to balance out his experience. I am gonna root like heck for the guy.
