  1. I’m actually surprised how few injuries DL’s teams have. I remember the Cristobal years had so many inexplicable injuries. I think teams should be required to publicly report on the number, type, and time of recovery for all injuries. If I’m a player, I want to know where I’m safest. I think it’s an important stat in evaluating a coaching staff. It could be something like the expected time out for jnjury per player per season.
  2. https://n.rivals.com/team_rankings/2025/all-teams/football/recruiting According to RIVALS, OBD have 4 5* and only 2 3*!! Based on players’ star rating, OBD is #1 on RIVALS. @Charles Fischer are we entertained?
  3. Cowherd is a coward following the herd. You’re never going to get fired for predicting Ohio State and Texas in the Natty.
  4. I remember players quoted in the MH years saying football wasn’t fun anymore. I can’t imagine any of DL’s players saying that.
  5. My counterpoint is that he won most of those games in the weak B12 and lost the vast majority of big games.
  6. As an Angeleno, I can say with certainty that NO ONE will be watching the spoiled children on Saturday. U$C football is not a thing here. I have friends in the bar business, and there is no amount of hype that will get attention for U$C.
  7. Stupidest ranking ever. Texas’ best win is against unranked OK. But they’re in the SEC, so they’re “obviously” #1. While we have wins over #5 and #13.
  8. I am very upset about it. I paid a lot for tickets to the game this weekend and almost don’t want to go now. And with all the stupidity of the network wars, this season has been a giant PiTA.
  9. As far as I am concerned, ODB are 1-1 against tOSU. They beat us for all the marbles, but we beat them in their home. They also beat us without our 2 best receivers and one of our best DBs (amongst other shenanigans). We beat them fresh from the off-season. This might be famous last words, but I think DL is gonna wipe the floor all Day.
  10. Ha! I am a software engineer too! And the best solutions always appear in the shower. This why we are compensated by complexity and not for how long our butts are in our seats.
  11. Riley blames literally EVERYONE but himself. The dude is consistent.
  12. Methinks we might be getting a major DL commitment soon.
  13. It’s a weird article bc it doesn’t actually include the bulletin-board quote from Fickel. It says… “Fickell said Miami coaches held him back and prevented him from being the quarterback that he is capable of being.” That’s not a quote, it’s a paraphrase. Why not print the actual incendiary quote? Seems fishy.
  14. I think they need to swap USC and UW. USC has the hardest SOS in D1, and they’re not that good. I could def see UCLA being better than USC. UW will be a fighter under Fisch. I wish we played them at the beginning of the year instead of the end.
  15. Where Does Oregon Ducks' Dan Lanning Rank Among Big Ten Coaches? WWW.SI.COM Dan Lanning has found major success since joining the Oregon Ducks. He took over the reins back in 2022 and hasn't looked back. With the move from the Pac-12 to the Big Ten, a lot of new faces are going to be popping up on the leadership side. Dan Lanning of the Oregon Ducks was one of the top coaches in the Pac-12 and nothing is going to change on that front in the new league.
  16. @Charles Fischer Bizarre—I clicked your link, clicked the link to go from there to the team rankings, and it’s still has the stale info. Check out the last updated time in the top left. UPDATE: I switched to a private browser and got the updated rankings. Rivals’ caching strategy is very poor.
  17. Weird—did we already lose a recruit? The current Rivals only has us with 15 recruits and still tied for 4th. This is including Alai.
  18. 💯 This was one of the many heart-breaking truths that made the Helfrich years to disappointing.
  19. That was a well reasoned and researched article, Go Dawgs!
  20. It was 2019, Mario’s 1st game as the official head coach and Herbie’s sr year. He was the interim coach in the 2018 bowl game. The pundit forgot about Mario calling a timeout before the 1st snap at scrimmage that bowl game.
  21. Are you thinking of Jameis Winston? Unfortunately, Newton is undefeated against OBD. (Dyer was DOWN!) Newton flamed out in the NFL, so who cares what he thinks? Whatever happened to Winston, anyway? (I could google it, but I don’t really care that much. Just thought folks might have some funny anecdotes.)
  22. I could _maybe_ fill in for the 11am shift, but it would be a stretch. I would be happy to do more news hunting after work, though.
  23. I lived in Austin and worked for UT for several years. They are just as delusional as UW. No wonder they think Sark is actually a good coach.
  24. “I have a nagging suspicion that Lincoln Riley may not be as good as we thought he was when he showed up.” - minute 1:03 of video above Hahahahahahahahahahahaha, ya think?? I’ve been saying Lincoln Riley sucks since he was losing to Baylor at OK.
