Ah, yes, the University of TX. Reminds me of going to the 2000 Holiday Bowl when the Ducks played TX. TX announced that their (planned) victory would launch their march to a national title in the next season. TX fans were positive they would beat Oregon, and 95% of the TX fans were nasty and/or obnoxious (there were a couple of nice TX fans). Oh, how fun to watch the Ducks win that game and see the TX fans slinking out of the stadium after the game was over, as the Duck fans stayed to watch the after-game fireworks display and celebrate the victory. It was the game when Joey scored a running touchdown, a passing touchdown, and a reception for a touchdown.

Color me uninformed, but I've always heard THE Ohio State, but haven't noticed they say THE OSU, which makes more sense to me. I mean, there are at least 3 OSU's that I know of. If there are several Ohio States, I'm not familiar with any except the one in Columbus.

Maybe you could start your own network? 😉

This afternoon I watched a repeat performance of the 2020 Rose Bowl where the Ducks beat Wisconsin 28-27. I've always enjoyed seeing the old PAC games once the season is over. But will any of the old regular-season PAC games be shown anywhere once the PAC-12 Network is gone???

Well, the wife being in the wedding makes it difficult to skip out. When the daughter of a friend got married on the day the Ducks played USC a few years ago, we did not attend. It was up in Portland, and on a boat in October, so I would have been reluctant to go anyway, so the decision was not difficult.

Glad I have season tickets! Cost for Ohio State is $99 for me.

Um, to what will Oregon be back? What is there left to be back to?

This!

My condolences to all his family and friends. ❤️

When the Ducks play WA, USC, UCLA, and Oregon State will probably be the most likely night games. Oh, and OCC games against less-than-top-tier teams.

Maybe post your question on Nextdoor.com You'll probably get a lot of responses, information, advice there. Good luck!

How very sad. Condolences to all her family and friends.

That's what I remember coaches saying way back when. They'd say they could coach this, that, and the other, but not speed, so they recruited for speed.

Couldn't find much, but there's this, thought it seems aimed at the athlete and not a coach: Here are 5 useful methods to improve running speed, whatever your level: Interval training. Interval training is a popular method used by runners to improve speed. ... Add sprints into your long runs. ... Choose lightweight running shoes and gear. ... Skipping rope workouts. ... Build your strength. One reason I asked, was because at one time, long ago, I read that speed couldn't really be coached. Don't remember who said that, though.

Just curious--how does one coach speed?

Or maybe in truth they know it would not work to have a real wolverine in the stadium, and a person in a wolverine costume just might look ridiculous. 😉

Graves was a winner at Gonzaga for years. Was the move to Oregon too much for him alone?

While I understand that position coaches move around, it's particularly annoying when one takes the same position to a team in the same conference.

Ah, thank you!

Could someone please explain? I mean, all the teams are still in the PAC-12 until the last PAC-12 game in any sport is played, right? So, why can wsu and osu do what they are doing? (And keep it simple for me, please. 😄 )

Maybe Lanning will look at someone such as Patrick Cobbs, of N. Texas? University of North Texas MEANGREENSPORTS.COM Former Mean Green and NFL running back Patrick Cobbs, a member of the North Texas Athletics Hall of Fame and the...

Well, Lanning probably has a list of potential coaches for every position, so fingers crossed the new guy will make us all (fans, players) happy. 🙂

I had just been wondering about Nate. Sorry he's had to battle such illness, but glad to hear he is recovering and will be coming back next year. ❤️

And ded you see his caddy's yardage pad, with The Duck-through-the-"O" on it?
