The rankings are likely affected by the total number of transfers, not just the overall skill of the players. So Ducks very well could have better players but fewer of them bc our HS class is better.

I don’t know the details, but I am going to assume this was not a home invasion or car-jacking. I can think of no other reason to brandish a gun in Eugene. Whatever scenario he presented to DL, DL clearly was not convinced. Ba-bye.

I think schools could easily make most sports competitive internships or fellowships that pay stipends equivalent to a scholarship. That’s essentially what they are right now. Schools couldn’t determine how the students use the money, but they could require athletes to be enrolled.

Exactly! I played bball in HS, and we won the OR state championship when I was a frosh w 4 other frosh on the team—3 starters and one ended up a 1st-team All American. Our coach was awful, but he won coach of the year that year. For the next 3 years we all got worse while our competitors got better. It is one of my most aggravating memories—the terrible coach who takes credit for the skills of his players. And this is what I see happening at Oregon w Graves. He needs to go.

I was at the game and was underwhelmed. Gray was the only Duck who looked like she wanted to win. Rogers got her points but looked bored. Ducks couldn’t run a basic pick and roll or even get the ball in bounds. And they looked out of shape. When you have great players playing w this attitude and lack of fundamentals, it reflects poor coaching. Frankly, I have never been a fan of Kelly Graves, and if this season gets him fired, then at least something good will have come from it. UCLA’s post, Bessior, was the diff in the game—4 3-pointers, 3 in the 4th quarter to put the game away.

Wow—I don’t know that I’ve heard either of these names. How exciting!

I don’t buy the premise that “the Pac-12 needs to add 2 new members.” A small, private, religious school from Texas will only make the Pac weaker. It doesn’t matter what media market they’re in. Hard no. SDSU actually makes sense to me. A mid-size state school known for partying would fit right in.

The Pac-12 networks (why on Earth are there plural?) requires streaming to see a lot of good games, anyway. ANYTHING is better than the Pac-12 networks.

I humbly request that we lay off the female stereotypes. There are plenty of women on this forum, and these comments discourage women from posting. I am asking that we elevate our collective conversation and not make fun at women’s expense. We have plenty of Fuskies and condoms and rodents to ridicule.

Tulane is located in New Orleans—home of THE BEST marching bands in the US thanks to all the competition in the Mardi Gras parades. So USC doesn’t even have that going for it.

I remember how shocked we all were when Mari landed Gattis. We all wondered how Gattis would handle Mari’s micromanagement. It sure didn’t take long to find out. And can we be sure that Gattis was fired? Did Gattis lay down an ultimatum that Mari wouldn’t agree to?

I was reprimanded on this site for saying KD was on the rotting end of a coaching tree. I will stand by my instincts—KD is untrustworthy and is not a good coach.

This is repellent. Larry Scott is a cockroach who we can’t seem to kill.

“bronny” is a perfect fit at U$C.

This guy got beat by West Linn. Sure, as much as I hate to admit West Linn is good, “bronny” and his dream team were totally unimpressive.

It’s Herbert, so it isn’t salacious, but he is good at recognizing people, and there was one person who was glaringly missing from his vote of confidence. Justin Herbert's comments may spell the end of Joe Lombardi's Chargers career BOLTBEAT.COM The LA Chargers should make some kind of coaching change before the 2023 season and it might be at offensive...

And there it is… Lombardi is gone. Thank goodness!! Chargers finally come to senses and listen to fans, firing Joe Lombardi BOLTBEAT.COM The LA Chargers finally listened to the fans, firing offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi.

I totally ageee w playing the percentages. But maybe he’ll turn out to be another “Big Play” VA. 🤞 As much as I love JH and MM, VA was the most fun to watch IMHO.

DL has history w Hampton. The AAC is just not on the same scale as the Pac. And it’s possible he comes in as a “co-“ coordinator.

This is a class move by Crist0bal.

As a lifelong Tulane fan, I could not be more thrilled w this hire. If any of you saw the way Tulane shut down U$C in the 4th qtr of the Cotton Bowl, you would be too. I can’t wait to hear Riley’s whining.

Unbelievably tragic.

I loved this article. Herbie represents the Oregon culture so well.

And we must remember that unlike most of the other 1st-yr-coaches in the matrix, this is DL’s first year as a head coach, period. A B+ is pretty impressive.

It wouldn’t be a stretch to think that GA prepared for the Duck game as if it were the CFP championship. And the Ducks def fared better. Just sayin…
