  1. "Do you mind if I call you Danno?" "Do you mind if I call you Shorty?"
  2. The article is based on one report from someone in Florida. It has not been confirmed by anyone who covers the Trojans. I wouldn't get too excited about it (yet)
  3. I still don't like taking a knee at the end of the half. What happened to being aggressive?
  4. I love this stuff. My first game at Autzen was a blowout loss to USC in 1976. I got sick of hearing that little ditty their band plays. I normally don't get pleasure from the troubles of others but this is an exception.
  5. I was hoping they would put in a basketball court; just a basketball court. (Crap! I have turned into the old guy who yells at kids for walking on this lawn.)
  6. I spent 25+ years leading major transportation projects and can tell you the only way to grow the airport is to significantly increase (double?) the population in Eugene-Springfield and the surrounding area. Major transportation infrastructure is sized to meet ongoing demand. It is never sized to serve events like college football games that only happen 7-8 times a year. Delta's response to the Ohio State game is what we can expect.
  7. Highlights from last year show he's a banger that plays both ends of the court. He moves well and finishes around the basket. Strong rebounder. Not much of an outside shot but that's not what OBD need from him. I saw some highlights of him backing down the big kid Creighton has and finishing over him. Looks like a solid pickup to me.
  8. I don't know.... I'd be happy to have the 1963 Triumph TR3 I owned in high school
  9. I once heard a list of funny minor league baseball promotions. The best of them was Hard Liquor and Hand Gun Night for a team in Texas.
  10. Never let the facts interfere with a good story
  11. I got to see Bill play Kareem in the Memorial Colosseum. What a pleasure! A true champion of humanity. You are missed!
  12. It's nice that the Ducks are still in the hunt for this young man. However, I have a hard time getting excited about our prospects of landing him when he just "narrowed" his list to 9 schools.
  13. I assumed she was working on material for a stand-up routine.
  14. One of the biggest recruiting jobs every team has to do in the off season is keeping its current roster. Lanning and staff have done a great job of that. Most, if not all, of the players who left were going to be depth pieces next year. The way Lanning and Co. are recruiting and pulling players out of the portal, if you aren't at least battling for a spot in the two-deep by the time you're a red-shirt sophomore, I don't like your chances of ever getting meaningful playing time here.
  15. I lament the loss of the Pac-12 but once the LA schools announced their move to the B1G, the hand writing was on the wall. The Pac-12 had a horrible media deal on the table when the LA schools were expected to the part of the league. With them gone, the deal would have gotten worse. And there are no other "western" schools that could have been added to make up for the loss of the LA market. Once the four SW schools left, the "Pac-6" would have struggled to add enough other strong schools to remain a power conference. IMO, staying in the Pac-6 was not an option and the notion that Oregon could thrive as an independent was wishful thinking. I quickly moved to #4 and then #7.
  16. I will wait to decide if this is good news until I see what they replace it with.
  17. All the best Jabba. Go Ducks!
  18. A contract is contractually binding. It doesn't matter if we don't think it's "fair" or "right". If the contract gives the right to the $$$ to OSU and WSU, it's in their best interests to take it. Every team leaving the Pac-12 acted in their own best interest, without considering what their actions did to the other conference schools. Why should we hold the Pac-2 to a different standard?
  19. The Chargers are over the cap. Armstead came up on the radio this morning here in Houston where they have a need and cap space.
  20. Recognizing you have a problem is the first step in fixing it. After watching Mario at Oregon and now at Miami, I'm not so sure he sees any problem with in-game decision making. Recruiting at a high level and expecting to have a top-notch football team is like buying a 1967 Stratocaster and expecting to play like Jimi Hendrix... It's not going to happen. Having great tools helps but ya still have to know what to do with them. I'm glad we have Dan. He's a new head coach and makes some mistakes because of that but OBD seem to be good a self-scouting and correcting things.
  21. I have no problem with the wave
  22. Just for reference.... We cut the cable last year and went with Frontier fiber optic internet ($50/mo) and I watch all my sports on Hulu (about $85/mo) plus Peacock for the Tour de France (about $7/mo) (all costs are for the Houston area). That adds up to about $142/mo compared to the $235/mo we were paying Cox internet and traditional cable (in Kansas).
  23. LOL. I grew up in the 50s and 60s and thought players in the 80s and 90s wouldn't have made it playing the tough guys from 20 years earlier. I guess it all depends on your perspective.
