  1. LV and LA are both going to host opening weekend games in their venues in the near future. Just like the one’s in Atlanta and Arlington.

     

    Oregon and USC would probably balk at a regular season game there because home field advantage is going to be crucial in the B1G. There’s no benefit to either team.

  2. The regular season winner is 7-1 in the championship game. The only team to avenge their regular season loss? The 2014 Oregon Ducks. 
     

    I actually went to the regular season game that year against Arizona. That was a weird game. Dropped passes, stupid penalty calls, etc. Arizona’s QB even caught his own batted pass and ran it for a first down on 3rd and long. 
     

    Mariota was also still gimpy from the WSU game two weeks prior. I was at that game in Pullman and saw him limping on the sideline after a run in the 4th quarter. Helfrich limited him during the Arizona game because he never really ran unless he was avoiding pressure.

  3. One of my favorite rivalries is no longer played which should be a cautionary tale because a lot of traditions just disappeared overnight. But, it is going to resume next season. The rivalry I’m talking about is Texas vs. Texas A&M. This was the biggest game of the year in the state of Texas. The Red River Shootout is just a warmup. 
     

    The level of hatred for this game is unmatched. In fact, this hatred causes booster from both sides to make rash decisions like fire good coaches with winning records or give a coach a guaranteed contract and pay him $74M to go away. The fact that the Aggie fight song is solely about disparaging UT should tell you something. 
     

    The traditions surrounding the game are second to none. The Aggie bonfire, midnight yell practice and the Texas alumni hex ceremony are just a few. However,  I’m not so sure about the accuracy of the tradition of taking the winning seniors to The Chicken Ranch. That was probably just made for the The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas movie. But, the depiction of the senator paying for everything is very accurate.

  4. This kid was a Freshman phenom until Cristobal got his claws into him. Somehow, Mario convinced him not to transfer to Bama for this season, but now it seems TVD has had enough of this offense.

     

    I don’t think he will venture too far from the East Coast, but I can promise you he will regain his Freshman year form with the right coach.

    Tyler Van Dyke, the Miami Hurricanes' primary starting quarterback over the past three seasons, is unsure if he will play in the bowl game or return to Coral Gables for a fifth season in 2024.

    "Unhinged Husky"

     

    Nothing like a little redundancy 😉

     

    Sad that this Fuskie, while fly fishing on one of the most beautiful rivers anywhere, can't manage to control his latent Husky insecurities. 

     

    Your reply was very well played. And I'm thinking that he knows that he'd better milk that 36-33 score while he can... because if all goes according to plan, in 9 days, he'll be singing a much different tune. 

    Yeah, they’re milking it. They even made t-shirts…for a regular season game. I would personally wait until the Pac-12 Championship t-shirts come available…which is exactly what I’m going to do.

    Yeah and Oregon broke the will of at least two teams that once graced the top 25 if not three. 

     

    No team that has played Oregon has been the same afterwards. Always for the worse as well. 

    Washington has been saying the same thing. I hope we get a rematch and settle it. Win or lose it will be a fair fight in a climate controlled, neutral environment. No excuses for either team. Gotta beat the Beavis first. I hope OBD don’t get caught looking ahead. They haven’t so far.

  7. I think Mario thought we were booing AB. Nope, that was for you and your shallow crossing routes on 3rd and 12. If you go to the CanesInSight forums you see the same complaints you saw on this site 3 seasons ago.

     

    The thing about Mario is he always gave us hope with his recruiting and healthy hatred for Washington. I think he’s still salty about the fact that they diminished one of his national championships by laying claim to half of it.

    Mario just had to lose a few games and have nothing left to play for before they open it up. I like the Miami fan references to caveman football.  Someone called him Woody Hayes. 🤣

    You’re right. He likes to open it up in meaningless games. He waits for bowl games to grind it out against average defenses.
