The ACC and the PAC have some bowl affiliations. A game with them could happen sooner than later.

Speaking of transfers. What ever happened to Danny Mattingly? He left Eugene with eligibility and he never played football again.

Always be on good terms with wealthy or influential alumni. Unlike the Gonzaga administration who thought it might be a good idea to suspend John Stockton’s season tickets. He’s worth 8 figures. Good luck getting a check from him when you need it.

He was on the team that beat the Dolphins in Palo Alto. Marino’s only Super Bowl.

Auburn is a complete mess and it all revolves around a guy named Bobby Lowder. He’s the one who pushed Gus out the door. Then, he tried to lure Mario away, but he got his new contract from Oregon so that fell through. It was speculated that if Oregon hadn’t replaced Washington in the Pac 12 championship game then Auburn may have had a shot. It’s obviously a moot point nowadays. If that isn’t enough, Lowder then tried to push his boy Kevin Steele for the Auburn job (some say Steele was also behind Gus’ firing), but that idea sent the fans into an uproar (#stopsteele). So, they hired Harsin who didn’t want Steele on his staff. Steele then went to Tennessee as DC for Pruitt which lasted 6 days. Pruitt was fired and Steele was named interim HC. The funny part is Gus goes to UCF to replace Heupel, who took the Tennessee job and promptly fired Steele. I’m surprised Mario hired Steele because he doesn’t have the best reputation. However, this whole fecal extravaganza was started by Bobby Lowder because Gus didn’t beat Saban enough times. The only other school with worse boosters is Texas. If they don’t at least go to the playoffs next year Sark will be fired. You can count on it.

Yes. Willie hired him as DC in 2017. Mario had him in 2018 before he fired him.

Just like Kent Dorfman.

That heat has quite the reputation with the “Half-backs” here in NC. In case anybody is wondering, a half-back is a Yankee who retires to S. Florida, realizes how hot it gets and then moves halfway back home and settles in the Carolinas.

As much as I wanted OSU to win that game (I was pulling for the underdog), the Miami fans are correct.

I haven’t been to a whole bunch of games at Autzen, but I’ve seen the crowd pretty angry and that Cal game wasn’t bad at all. That was just some grumbling. I was at the Arizona game the day after Thanksgiving in 2010 when they were undefeated and ranked #1. Mike Stoops started going nuts on the refs about a targeting call against one of his players. Autzen gave him an earful. The more animated he got with the refs the louder the boos got. Great times.

He’s got an OC and a DC sitting in his lap. Mirabal and Salavea should demand promotions. They’ll never have any more leverage than they do now.

DAT was pretty good on his two carries in the 2012 Rose Bowl. He was 2 for 155 with 2 TD’s.

I treat it like a guy going to the NFL. If he doesn’t play for my favorite team he’s non-existent. I cheer for my team, but not really against any individual player on the other team. I appreciate what Herbert did for Oregon, but when he lines up against the Cowboys I hope his team loses. I’ll look at Dye the same way.

Oregon is like a prime fishing hole right now. Everybody is showing up to poach their limits. The entire coaching staff turned over in roughly 30 days which means recruits and players don’t have real relationships with anybody. I’m sure several more will follow.

Because Kirby dangled a NC ring in his face.

No surprise. He entered the portal shortly after the Pac 12 championship game. He’s been gone for a while.

I know Varsity Blues was a comedy, but if you played HS football in Texas there were parts of the movie that were very real. Coach Kilmer, the parents, fans and announcers were firmly based on reality. In fact, those announcers were the same announcers who were on the call of an ESPY winning play. Apparently, Jon Voight saw this footage and wanted them in the movie.

Arizona.

He already signed his LOI. Is he afraid of a little competition?

Yep. Mario put in the time recruiting these guys, so I have no problem with them following him. Even if he did make his final push after the Pac 12 CG while wearing Ducks gear. Lanning built the relationships. If he can use them to his advantage, then have at it.

I believe that was a quote from Emil Faber. The founder.

I learned more about Oregon history during his PK80 broadcasts than I did in grade school.
