    I think it is the worst uniform ever, and I am working on name for it and below are my choices thus far:

     

    --The Dalmatian uniform
    --The Chocolate Chip Ice Cream uniform
    --The Washing Accident uniform

     

    This does not bode well...

    I’m not a big fan of this uniform,

     

    I would say they are very unique, I can’t remember a team with uniforms quite like this😁

     

    Maybe they will look better on tv and I’ll change my mind.

     

    But for now C +
     

    Remember, the only thing that matters, is what high school recruits think.  

    Amen

  3. I think it was the right decision.

     

    Kept ESPN from monopolizing the playoffs with no competitive bidding from Fox or CBS.

     

    12 teams is a bad idea:  1) the 4 teams that get a bye are at a huge advantage; 2) the SEC would put a minimum of 3 teams in each year.  Have you seen the way they schedule so that the haves play the have-nots every year and cannibalization is very rare where a top team in the East plays a top team from the West.  Then they add in TX and OK which will be middle of the road kill for the upper teams.  Lastly, when 8+ teams from the SEC are in the top 25 to start the year, it takes at least 2 Ls to get them out. 

     

    The Alliance kept the leagues from raiding each other and does set up some better matchups which will lead to more $$.  

     

    The expansion of the playoffs will happen and now the Alliance controls the number and the automatic bids.

  4. I agree with the statement above that this year is frustrating over disappointing SO FAR.

     

    This is Mario’s 4th year.  Last year really should pretty much be thrown out. But it was similar to this year in that we don’t have an above average QB.  Obviously, we did with Hebert and he was absolutely mis-used for Oregon’s purposes, and that is on Mario and his offensive coaches.

     

    I am willing to let the coaches decide when the other QBs are ready.  If they aren’t, then AB shouldn’t be benched. There is no use throwing out a freshman QB who isn’t ready just so he can get reps and throwing away a season.  That is what the off season is for, training.

     

    Up North they have a 5 star frosh QB sitting behind an average at best starter (not that I would ever want to compare myself to them); and, at Oklahoma, their frosh QB was the #1 HS QB in the country and is living up to that ranking.  In TT’s action so far, he hasn’t looked anything close to what Caleb Williams is showing.

     

    Each year the talent is getting better.  The talent around AB on both sides of the ball is better than before.  Maybe we just have to wait until the QB talent equals the other talent.

     

    I don’t want to be a Mets fan and “wait until next year”, so go with what the coaches say is our best chance to win now and develop the next QB later.

  5. Based upon last night's games, we have either met our goal, or Clemson has become the Oregon of the ACC.

     

    Also, I've come to the conclusion that the best way to enjoy an Oregon game is make a small, or large wager that the Ducks don't cover the spread when they are the favorite.  This way, there is at least some $atisfaction in watching a game like last night, or Stanford, or Arizona ....

  6. This is the most important game of the regular season, and not in Coach Speak about trying to go 1 - 0 each week.

     

    The pre season is over.  We are as healthy as we are going to be.

     

    We have had two weeks to digest and regurgitate the Stanford L.

     

    Time to walk the walk and find out if we have the team that beat Ohio St and played 28 minutes of good football in the 2nd half of the Stanford game.

     

    If their hair isn't on fire for 60 minutes, then some serious soul searching is needed.  If it is, then we better see it each week.

     

    Cristobal isn't the only coach whose teams lay an egg each year, his predecessors have all done it.  Boise State & Stanford ‘09, Auburn ‘10 (Chip's stubbornness cost us this game), USC ‘11, Stanford ‘12, Arizona ‘13, Arizona ‘14, Utah & Wazzu ‘15.  AND the Stanford '12 L cost us the Natty as we would have crushed Notre Dame.
