    FedEx has pledged $25 million over the next five years to be used in sponsorship deals with University of Memphis athletes.

     

    It will be interesting if any shareholder suits will follow, especially from alum of rival schools.

     

    Or, will the rivals flock to use UPS from now on?

    That seems to have broken his desire and ambition needed to stay competitive at that level.

    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.

    B1G fans travel very well so I will not be shocked to see a whole lot of Buckeye fans in Autzen come October 12th.

    Hopefully a new weather phenomenon will occur, it will be raining their tears in Autzen.

    Even for loyal Duck fans it will be tempting to sell your tickets for that game which will almost pay for your entire season ticket price. 

    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.

    Stubblefied Returns to Oregon

    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.

    The guy I want, #10 Robbie Avila.

    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.

    “Ugly Court” Costs Ducks 5-Star Basketball Phenom

    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.
