  1. Omigosh, on the Damon Amandolara radio program this morning they were getting positively orgasmic over the Trojans, also predicting that they would be in the playoffs next year, and on and on and on....
  2. I suppose there could be a remote possibility that MC is waiting to talk to someone at the Bengals or Rams, but I kind of doubt it.
  3. On the rare occasion that I bet, I bet with my heart--so I'll say "yes," Joe Burrow can score a trifecta.
  4. Those tall O-Linemen might have to work harder to get their center of gravity lower than the defenders, though. "It's all about leverage."
  5. I think the defensive players should not celebrate until they've stopped the other team, whether by forcing a punt, stopping on 4th down, creating a fumble, or by interception. Many times, with teams both college and professional, we've seen a great defensive play on first or second down, only to be followed by the opponent then getting a first down. And even when the defense has prevailed, they should celebrate with their teammates, not by trash talking.
  6. Will other conferences follow? Big Ten discussing potential elimination of divisions as part of future football scheduling plans
  7. Thanks for that clip. Fun to see the running, but also the blocks that helped clear the way.
  8. With Chip (IMHO) it was his condescending attitude to the local press (I always thought he sucked up to ESPN and other major networks, and he obviously basked in the glow of Erin Andrews), and, from what I saw & heard, his reluctance to schmooze with donors and be friendly to fans, and I think those things are part of being a good coach (not necessary to be a winning coach, but what I would call a good coach).
  9. I couldn't get the link to work, but I remember when the movie was made, and I've seen it a few times. I have set foot in the president's office where the horse collapses, when I was helping to chaperone kids in my daughter's 5th grade class. President Boyd talked to the kids for a few minutes (but not about Animal House ). I ate lunch at the restaurant near Dexter Lake where part of the movie was filmed--it was a few years later and the decor in part of one room at that time was as it looked in the movie. I'm on the right.
  10. It was a nice post, and what he said at the end didn't surprise me--that he recently became engaged and he and his fiancee are ready to start their life in California, he's going back home.
  11. Isn't he from that area? Maybe that has something to do with it. I wish him luck, unless/except if the Ducks plays usc.
  12. Article in Around the O by a former UO student about working hard and enjoying the first win as a coach. Dick Harter: Holding Bricks in the Air
  13. One reason I never make predictions about Duck games is that I could never bring myself to predict a loss.
  14. Subject to change, I assume. Rivals 2022 Team Rankings
  15. One thing is--where does the money come from? I don't know what it's like at other universities, but Oregon is a "state-supported" school with the state contributing only about 10% of what it costs to run the university. The university does a lot of fundraising. Some donors make huge contributions to the academic and/or sports side. (And there are many big donors other than the one that immediately springs to mind. )
  16. Maybe AB could make it in the CFL, though.
  17. Right now on CBSSN. He just completed a touchdown pass.
  18. While I had thought that Travis might opt to go to the NFL, his decision to enter the portal is a total surprise to me. I wish him luck in whatever he does, but would love to see him change his mind and stay at OR for his final year.
  19. Report card time--interesting to see Oregon State's grade over Oregon's.
  20. It was nice also to see Saban smiling when he was congratulating Kirby Smart after the game.
  21. Go Chargers! Go Justin! Step it up, Charger defense!
