Also, could it be that we pluck top players out of Utah every year?

No direct knowledge, but could it be that we eliminated the Utes from a potential playoff invite in a previous Pac12 championship game?

Both M/W teams have talent, but seem to lack toughness and effort at times. Both teams rely on shooters, and suffer slumps against tough D. I hope the coaches are able to get more out of the teams in league tournaments to get ready for the dance.

Thanks McDuck! This makes sense now. Harbaugh and Michigan disrespected a top coach, and Mario had his opportunity. Gattis likely could have gone the HC route had he acted earlier, but he needs a place to work until the coaching carousel starts anew.

I talked with John one day at a chance meeting in a health club. When asked if he enjoys being controversial, he claimed to only write what he believes, and he doesn’t mind if his thoughts are unpopular. He only cares that people read and think more about the subject. I have noticed that bigs are valued most for their defense under Altman, unless they can shoot better than average from the three point line.

I don’t know if the statistics support this, but the Chip offense was the best I recall seeing, and it worked under multiple quarterbacks that didn’t make it in the NFL. The Willy offense looked good with Herbert, an NFL star caliber quarterback, but lousy without him. I have to stick with Chip for now.

Hard to understand the motivation for moving from Harbaugh to Cristobal. Tax move?

Those that help generate the revenue deserve to negotiate pay, and sometimes bad deals are made by either party. I suspect that agents will come soon, as younger players will feel better having someone on their side in a negotiation. Not sure the NCAA can enforce many current rules soon. Ultimately the market will find equilibrium unless there are restrictions.

When expectation turns to hope, a Husky fan retreats to the kennel with his head down and tail between his legs.

BMac burning the bridge with MC is all you need to know about the future assistant coach hiring process at the U. MC: Do you agree that running a dive play from the pistol is our best option on 3rd and 7? Future AC: And without a tight end, sir! MC: You are hired.

Lanning definitely earned extra credit for doing so much in so little time for the 2022 recruiting class. But the grade is incomplete until two valued targets make decisions in the next month. Based on where we are today, plus the extra credit, I believe B+ is the floor. A or A+ are possible with one or two 5* signings.

Whiff. Fixed it for Kalen for 2022.

It seems that other former coach of the Ducks can sell fire in Hades (or is that humidity in Miami?), but try to convince those fans that three and out is fun to watch.

Quality matters more than quantity? Hmmm. What does it look like when the two measures are factored? 1. Stanford (4x1=4) 2. Oregon (2x3=6) 3. USC (1x10=10) 4. Arizona (6x2=12) 5. Utah (5x4=20) 6. UCLA (3x7=21) 7. OSU (8x6=48) 8. Colorado (10x5 =50) 9. Cal (7x8=56) 10. UW (9x11=99) 11. WSU (9x12=108) 12. ASU (11x12=132) Looks like we beat the Huskies and Trojans overall, but lose to the darn Trees again.

How long before Husky fans enter the transfer portal?

Now that he is a Duck, Iuli will be a legend for his quote on not considering UW.

Do I hear the sound of Charles purring?

The Husky fan forum is having a bad day.

But did they beat Cal or Stanford for the academically prowess recruits?

Did Mario keep the Duck offer secret while in negations to the U while not talking to anyone about that head coaching job?

Seems Steele had a strong run at winning programs prior to being tossed aside by an incoming head coach at Auburn last year. He must know his stuff, but the question is can he meet Mario’s work effort and recruiting standards?

Pissing in the ocean?

Next.

Curious that he didn’t mention the current coaches in his goodbye? Did the Ducks pull his offer?

2020 DL Halton decommits.
