  1. Sheduer is the front runner for the Heisman right now. He threw for over 500 yards against the #17 team in the nation.
  2. I was at the 2012 Arkansas State game. This is very similar. Hopefully, Ty plays better than Bennett did in the 2nd half.
  3. I got the sports package with Sling. PAC 12 is included.
  4. CU brought in a ton of talent. I think they’ll be a lot better once they play together more.
  5. Kevin Mar and his crew are surprisingly not screwing up the TCU Colorado game. I just remember him hosing the Ducks on a few occasions. Especially the 2019 WSU game. I guess you automatically improve once you cease being a Pac 12 ref.
  6. Ducks 45-13 2 3 263 I think Oregon establishes the run game and the running clock will not make for an offensive onslaught. I also thing that they get 14 points off of the turnovers with a short field.
  7. After downloading Sling I called and gave Spectrum the Lex Grossman treatment. Both companies are to blame, but Disney holds all the cards because they own most of the content, so I can’t really drop them.
  8. I think a Southerner would be shocked at the size of Martin Stadium in Pullman. It’s like a high school stadium, but with a huge press box. Judging from the amount of fans Tennessee brought to Eugene, visiting fans from the SEC would probably fill 60-70% of that place by themselves. Getting to Pullman isn’t bad. I drove there from Spokane for the Duck game in 2014. They have students/fans set up on the side of the highway waving huge WSU flags every 5-10 miles or so. Getting out of Pullman after the game is another story. There aren’t many avenues to get out of town and every highway is only 2 lanes. It took us 3-4 hours to get back to Spokane after the game. Bad game day traffic is probably commonplace in the SEC because of the size of the stadiums. I’ve only been to Williams-Brice, but they open all lanes for travel in one direction to get to the freeway. Autzen is pretty easy. I always parked at the Masonic Lodge and traffic was usually cleared out in an hour.
  9. Great! We get to watch Mario soil his bead sheets against Stanford while coaching a different team.
  10. I have Spectrum as well. I signed up for Sling TV with their sports package and will be cutting the cord this weekend. It’s half the price of my cable bill.
  11. I hope you guys didn’t get too much damage. Please give an update when possible. I live in NC, so we got a lot of rain, but the wind was minimal. No real damage in my area.
  12. Judging from this article from earlier this year, the paranoia is well founded. DL has probably experienced some unconventional cheating methods from his past few jobs. Inside the sideline paranoia of a college football coach - ESPN WWW.ESPN.COM College football coaches will do anything to protect their plays and believe everyone is out to get them: from ball boys to the chain gang to fans in the stands.
  13. Coaching Against Prime 101: 1. Put in 3rd stringer 2. Have 3rd stringer start a fight 3. Watch 3rd stringer take a beating in full pads 4. Watch opposing team’s starters get ejected 5. Beat opposing team’s back-ups mercilessly
  14. This is an interesting concept. The University of South Carolina is teaming up with Iron Hands Brewing to make a beer that will help fund NIL. I’ll be down there in October for the Florida game. I’m sure one of these will find its way to my lips. I know Oregon has Nike, but I think something like this has legs if it lines up with state ABC laws. Garnet Trust announces new Gamecock beer to benefit NIL - On3 WWW.ON3.COM Garnet Trust, the Official NIL partner of South Carolina Athletics, have teamed up with Steel Hands Brewing to create a beer to benefit NIL.
  15. The New Belgium Brewery in Asheville, NC has collaborated with NCSU to make a team beer. Part of the proceeds go to the school’s brewing and fermentation department. The R&D Brewing Company has also teamed up with a couple of different local universities. Aside from App State’s Mountain Brew most of these are under 5% ABV. They say it’s to promote responsible drinking, but we all know they’re just trying to sell a lot of cans.
  16. This is terrible news. I heard rumors last night on X, but now The Oregonian has reported it. He apparently drowned in the Clackamas River. Portland man, 44, drowns in Clackamas River at Riverside Park WWW.OREGONLIVE.COM Herman Ryan Hoching jumped from a cement water intake structure in the middle of the...
  17. They were probably a giddy about future CW’s in their new stadium. I’m sure they thought it was going to be louder than Autzen. Now it’s going to sit half filled during their epic border clashes with Boise, WSU and Nevada.
  18. Sometimes teams get the right coach with the right players at the right time. That’s what happened to WSU and OSU. However, both coaches only stuck around for a couple of years afterward and left for what they thought were greener pastures. Erickson got fired by the Seahawks and Price’s Bama story doesn’t need explaining. Neither of these coaches really moved the needle in college football afterward. The Beavers hired a great coach (IMHO) afterward and came close to the Rose Bowl a couple of times, but they were thwarted in dramatic fashion both times in their final Pac 10 game. They haven’t really been good since 2009 not counting last season. WSU had one more good year under Doba with Price’s players, but he was terrible from then on. Leach was a great hire for them, but he could never with the division. Good programs maintain some sort of success after going through coaching changes which I think is the product of a good administration. A bad AD can bury a football program for years due to bad hiring/firing decisions. Oregon has won the PAC with 4 different coaches since Rich Brooks left, so somebody is doing something right. The detractors will say it’s Uncle Phil’s $$$, but that hasn’t kept the coaches from leaving.
  19. I think UNC and NCSU will go to the same conference and it will be a battle between the B1G and SEC. Both conferences will want those Raleigh and Charlotte TV markets since they’re two of the fastest growing cities in the U.S. It will come down to who offers the most money.
  20. I look at the PAC 12 the same as I do a failing company that can’t hold onto their top talent because they refuse to pay them what they’re worth. These companies continuously make bad decisions which results in cut benefits and lower pay. Then, they get mad when their employees take off for greener pastures and question their loyalty. The Pac 12 did this to themselves. As far as continuing the rivalry with OSU, it’s a great opportunity for both schools to fill their stadiums and be home in time for dinner after an away game. It would be stupid for OSU to discontinue the rivalry out of spite. Just make it an annual non-conference match-up like FSU/UF or Clemson/USC.
  21. He has a great social media presence and decent hands.
  22. You’re absolutely correct. Shough doesn’t hate Oregon. I know for a fact he hates Moorhead. Maybe Mario as well. After all, he drove them down for an opening TD in the Fiesta Bowl and then got pulled.
  23. I’ve been to Jones Stadium on a big weekend. It was against Texas back in 2000. Tortillas were flying, cattle feces filled the air and the students were rowdy, but it was anything but loud. Their stadium just doesn’t hold noise like Autzen does. They will still have an advantage because of the heat and wind. If the Ducks can find their running game then it will be lights out for Tech.
  24. With the new transfer rules there is an expectation to win immediately. This means the coaches are on an even shorter leash than they were before. Therefore, they’re treating their rosters like an NFL coach would. This means making cuts and signing free agents. The worst thing to happen to Brian Kelly at LSU was Kim Mulky winning the national championship in her second season. I’m sure their AD got on the phone with him after the championship game and said “It’s your turn”.
  25. Coach Prime is down to about 20 scholarship players. By my estimation he is going to née about 65 more pieces of Louis Vuitton luggage. https://twitter.com/fos/status/1650582663692972033?s=61&t=WX35WbECMt6xVxjRnTNrmg
