It’s as simple as this. Oregon needs to win out and they need Georgia to win out. That would effectively eliminate Texas because their best win would be against a two loss Alabama team.

The opening frame is awesome. It reminds of this picture I saw on Twitter.

Some of us tried to warn them, but they wouldn’t listen. Apparently, they need to go back and check their social media posts about how great Mario was going to be for The U. I distinctly remember reading about how he couldn’t win big at Oregon because our program was trash and had no tradition. Miami was going to give him the tools to win national championships like the old days. I see a lot of transfers coming out of Miami in the future. Tyler Van Dyke is going to leave and look like an All-American on his next team. I also don’t see his coordinators hanging on too much longer. Era defining game. Mario is the bust we all knew he'd be | CanesInSight WWW.CANESINSIGHT.COM This is what the next 5 years will look like in the Mario Cristobal era. Coaching scared. Antiquated offense. Absolutely HORRENDOUS feel for the game. He will never be able to...

Miami is looking like a team coached by Mario Cristobal. Flashes of greatness followed by complete ineptitude. I think he gets one more season to win the ACC before they cut him loose.

USC’s defense plays good in spurts, but gives up a ton of big plays. They’re making a Mike Leach reject look like Emmitt Smith. Their offense will be a handful next week. I hope we don’t get a repeat of 2011.

Dabo would call that “Tyler Talk”. For reference…

I love Bo Nix’s play and all, but Jalen Daniels is ridiculously talented. He definitely deserves an invite to the Heisman ceremony. Unfortunately, he has the same problem Caleb Williams has. No defense.

Ducks 45-31 1 TO 3 Sacks 283 yards passing.

The Michigan highlights from 2007 make me yearn for the “mallard head” green helmets and the Belotti Bold number font. Those should be the next throwback uniforms. Diamond plated shoulders and all.

Oregon 24-16 1 TO 2 Sacks 243 yards passing. This is a game where we’re going to see how good the defense is. Utah doesn’t give up many points at home.

NIL has afforded many college athletes a reason to stick around and get their degree and play out their eligibility. If JPJ can make more money his Senior year than he could in the NFL then he should stick around. He’s popular locally, but not a national brand like Shedeur or Caleb. Most O-Linemen will never be nationally known unless their brother starts dating the world’s biggest pop star. It depends on which round he is drafted in and what his guaranteed money is. He also has to look at the possibility of getting drafted higher the following season.

I’m just seeing if anybody else has teams in other conferences that they pull for when the Ducks aren’t playing. I have one or two in each conference except the B1G. For some reason none of their teams ever really appealed to me. This works out nicely for obvious reasons. My favorite team(s) from each conference are listed below. BIG 12: Texas Tech My best friend went there and I’ve been to a few games with him. Great atmosphere. However, Utah will be on my list next year. SEC: South Carolina It’s within driving distance of my home, so we go down there for a game each season. The atmosphere is unreal. They fill that stadium no matter their record and they get bonus points for the “rooster crow” and Sandstorm. I went to college in the state of Arkansas, so I’m a sympathetic Hogs fan. Many of my friends were fans that I found myself pulling for them. ACC: Miami They were the coolest thing going when I was a teenager in the 80’s. I was and still am a huge Jimmy Johnson fan. I know I’m supposed to hate Mario, but he never lost to the Fuskies and he got the ship righted after Helfrich/Taggart. Also, a Rose Bowl trophy and two PAC championships helps. Bonus: Appalachian State Beautiful campus and great place to go watch a game. Especially when the leaves are turning. I’m also pretty sure this is where my daughter and money will be going.

I remember thinking their defense was horrible back in 2011. Then, before I knew it, they had something like a 38-10 lead that the Ducks couldn’t recover from. They’re going to very motivated when they visit Autzen. This one is more worrisome than Utah.

He probably realized that his defense is good enough to get some stops and he can help them out by not putting them in a hole. Patience will be key when playing Utah. If he can keep their offense in check like UCLA and Beavis did then the chances of winning are really good. If Riverboat Dan makes a return then the Utes could get a freebie or two.

Where’s Gary Campbell?

When I was in college (small D2 school) we dreaded film review worse than anything. I think I still have PTSD. We reviewed the game film on Mondays, so we had 2 days of dread (win or lose) in anticipation of the impending butt-chewings if we didn’t play up to standard. Our HC was an old school guy who played for Arkansas in the 50’s and he didn’t tolerate mistakes very well. But, if you showed a lack of effort, real or perceived, then it was 10 times worse. If one of us did what WSU’s #8 did then our HC would rewind the play no less than 10-15 times, so we had to watch it over and over. All this while going on a tirade. We would be accused of everything from looking for our girlfriends or parents in the stands to not caring about the game or just flat out cowardice. The message was if you’re going to do something stupid then do it at full speed. Afterward, we would practice and it would be on to the next opponent. Great memories. When my old teammates get together we still do imitations of our old coach tearing us a new one.

Matt Lubick was the OC after Frost left. Ludwig was OC from 2002-2004. I don’t remember the Ducks offense being too terrible during that era. They beat some good teams back then and had a pretty good game against Michigan in 2003 if I don’t remember correctly. Not so much against WSU, though. I can see why they canned him after 2004. No bowl game that year.

Sure, it took them a while to get going, but the only guy I saw sleeping out there was Devin Richardson (#8 for WSU) before Herbert trucked him. I can only imagine how the film review will go for him on that play

Hopefully, the result will be better this upcoming weekend.

UNC fans emptied the stadium before the Heels even started their last drive. They had a chance to go down and win the game with plenty of time on the clock. That’s why the fan experience is so bad in Chapel Hill. It ‘s a basketball school that dabbles in football. .

UNC goes down to 1-5 UVA. They’ll drop out of the top 10.

UNC losing to UVA. I can’t believe Mack Brown went for it on 4th down instead of taking the easy FG. Both teams can’t quit shooting themselves in the foot.

It’s tough to gauge Utah’s run defense since USC’s RB’s is nothing more than a figurehead.

I figured most of us are tuned in, so it might be a good idea to have a thread about this game. My only comment is USC’s crowd is minuscule for a ranked team with only one loss. Oh, and it might be a shootout.

1815? Well, it seems that Johnny Horton needs a history lesson. He stated that in 1814 we took a little trip along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip’. Apparently, there was bacon, beans and an alligator involved in this event.
