  1. I would hope that his desire and ambition are still there, otherwise he needs to show himself the door. I think he is slow in changing his ways in that he will probably never see another holy trinity as he did with Sabrina, Ruthy and Satou. Plus, the supporting cast that seemed to be truly supporting. Hopefully he can turn it around, otherwise Mullens' tough choice will be the replacement, not replacing.
  2. Hopefully a new weather phenomenon will occur, it will be raining their tears in Autzen. Works for me even though I am not a ticket holder. I like the fact that fans can reap a benefit from their coersed donations.
  3. Who can blame him for turning down such an insulting offer when the PIG2 just stole 200 Mil from 10 other schools!
  4. How about "Dante lite" = Oumar Ballo from AZ: 7-feet and 260 pounds makes him a difficult player for opponents to manage. He averaged 12.9 points and 10.1 rebounds in 2023-24 for Arizona on 65.8% shooting. There isn't much versatility to his game, and Ballo's free-throw shooting dipped to a career-worst 49.5% this past season. But he's a productive bruiser with a proven track record at an elite program.
  5. Probably not going to happen: Sources told ESPN that Avila is a strong favorite to follow former ISU coach Josh Schertz to Saint Louis, where Schertz was hired in the wake of ISU's regular-season Missouri Valley title and a run to the NIT Finals. Avila's portal entry is marked by a red exclamation point, which means not to reach out to him, a sign that he's already made up his mind on his destination. But no harm in wishing.
  6. I like his size 6'2" 190, and hopefully he has room to grow. Per Erik Skopil at 24/7 he may have to adjust his game some as he has a tendency to reverse field a lot after the catch against high school athletes.
  7. It's nice to see recognition from a 3rd party source. 4 snubs from 2024 NCAA All-Tournament team CLUTCHPOINTS.COM UConn had a phenomenal national championship run, but the Huskies did not deserve four players on the NCAA All-Tournament team.
  8. Sources - John Calipari finalizing 5-year deal with Arkansas - ESPN WWW.ESPN.COM John Calipari is finalizing a five-year deal to become the next men's basketball coach at Arkansas, sources told ESPN on Sunday night. I remember when Altman took that job for about 15 minutes. (for some reason can't "check post")
  9. 27th seems about right. Once a team in front gets chosen, they probably want no part of the Ducks!
  10. Good article Mike. Personally, I was an Artesian fan after "I seen 'em".
  11. I will be happy to write the “Egg on My Face” piece about how wrong I was." Hey Don, ain't gonna happen.
  12. Sabrina has a covid year left. NIL wise she might make more than in the WNBA. Maybe JJ can check on Ruthy and both Satou sisters eligibility.
  13. To paraphrase and double quote Kevin Leary "those cockroaches are dead to me".
  14. A little historical note: That floor kept Dana's 20 game win streak going, plus never having had a losing season at Oregon. As you may recall, in Dana's first season we literally bought our way into the CBI with a 16 - 17 record. After 3 wins and a loss, the last 2 games were at the Matt. In the Championship game a Creighton player had an over-and-back violation late in the game that lead to a 71-69 win. The floor was later changed to have a more distinctive mid-court line.
  15. Well played Mr. Perkins. Forewarned is forearmed for the rest of the day. BTW, I think you forgot to add Mr. Thompson is Sid Finch's grandson on his mother's side.
  16. Thanks Alex. I like "Following a narrow victory in Ann Arbor (on the road, no less), I can’t see the Ducks losing another game in the regular season." Now, can I get the same prescription for my glasses?
  17. A silver lining mightbe that play-in games don't pay anything. I think there is a 2 mil unit for qualifying for the NCAAs and 0 for a play-in. I'm sticking with Pac-Turds
  18. Well, they will more than make up for it with their "enterprise pricing" for the BIG fans that will be flooding the area.
  19. Right on! Or, if having seen the LA schools lose their board seats/votes, what if the other 8 had just "signed-on" with the other conferences in ""principle"" without giving formal notice of withdrawal, the legal mess would have been bigger and maybe more leverage in the "buy-out" terms. Of course, none of that changes what is left of the Pac, dare I say the "Pac Turds" (since we all know what a number 2 is)?
  20. Thanks for the article. March Madness describes this team. Seems like Dana in tied for 11th among active players with NCAA wins. The article says 12 alone, but my way of thinking is that is he as the same as the two coaches ahead of him, then he is tied with them. NCAA Tournament: Ranking active coaches with most March Madness wins 247SPORTS.COM Many of college basketball's greatest coaches will appear in this week's NCAA Tournament.
  21. The best part of that is if it happens, Pacific Conference records will remain true records, instead of us having to put * on all future records.
