Are We Seeing What Cristobal DREAMED Of?
I agree, he will make the play-offs off and on eventually. I just realized that these coaches that are at their dream jobs, they have no leverage for future contracts unless they “produce” as defined by the donors. Of course, with a $50 Mil contract, who cares about future leverage?

Recruiting: Are You Less "Into It" Than Before?
Agree 100%. I keep up with it, but that doesn't mean I listen to every pod cast or read every article I find. I pick and choose since until signing day, the fat lady hasn't sung and may have to shut up on portal day.

10 Cent Beer Night: What Could POSSIBLY Go Wrong?
I do remember some 10¢ “bottoms-up” beer nights which meant the mugs were upside down and they filled the bottom with beer. I was walking (using the terms loosely) from Duffy’s (the first establishment to crack the dry zone, corner of 13th and Alder) when all of a sudden, the blue and whatever lights of a police cruiser pulled up next to me. I was asked if I had a driver’s license. My response was "I wasn't driving was I"? I was relieved to confirm I wasn’t, they just wanted to check my ID.

Are We Seeing What Cristobal DREAMED Of?
But with a 12-team playoff, if he, or any other coach of a high-profile program, whiffs a few years in a row . . . bye bye. I also think if any coach of a high-profile program periodically makes the playoff but doesn't advance past the second round, schools will keep them beyond their expiration date since the made the play-offs.

Was THIS the Game that Began the Modern Era to You as Well?
Charles, I had to look twice to see that it didn't say 1894! I remember it quite well. It was my first time back at Autzen since graduating in '72. The senior partner (in his 70's) at the firm I worked at was a big husky fan. We drove up and bet the weekend on it (My ego wrote a check that couldn’t be cashed). Walking out of the stadium I told him if he had been wearing Duck gear, even he could get laid tonight. He was a dead ringer for Tommy Lasorda, so we played that into some free drinks at a bowling alley bar in Grants Pass on the way home. We did have a few doubters. However, it turned out Dan Haggerty was filming something there. On his way out, he stopped at our table as asked me if I was so-in-so. I said no, but you know Tommy Lasorda, don’t you? Well evidently, he had enough to drink to acknowledge he knew Tommy and they proceeded to talk old times. After that, the rest of the drinks were again free. He even signed a few autographs (so be careful on Ebay if you are a Lasorda fan).

Report: NCAA Considering Rule Change to Allow On-Field Corporate Sponsorship Logos
Interesting indeed. In their next contacts they will probably limit the size and/or the number of other logos on their uniforms. Unless of course, that is already in the contracts. Although, we already see in on bowl game unis.
