I think if Dillingham stays then he’ll be a lock to stick with Oregon. If he gets hired away then Moore might be a little more open to suggestion.

Yella Wood is doing really well with the housing boom. Jimmy Rane has a lot of money to burn.

I know DL will likely not leave after this year, but he is being mentioned for the Auburn job more and more these past few days. Most recently, this morning on ESPNU Radio on SXM. Now, the hosts didn’t think he would leave, but they also thought it could be a way to get a good contract extension. It’s a typical ploy by agents to link their clients to jobs, so that they might get a better contract. One thing that was brought up was that WHEN he leaves it will be to a much bigger job like Bama or Clemson. Most experts believe that Oregon is not a destination school because of coaches pay and recruiting resources (less travel to recruit). I can’t say I disagree with them. However, if Oregon wants to be taken seriously then they need to start opening their checkbook to the tune of 8 figures per year. That’s nothing to these big time SEC schools. They know it’s required to stay competitive.

They wore these in the PAC 12 championship game last year. They don’t bring back great memories.

Gonzaga is a Jesuit university. The Pac 12 doesn’t have basketball-only schools nor does it have schools with religious affiliations. So, Gonzaga to the Pac 12 doesn’t make any sense to me.

There are a bunch of regional games on both networks. Unfortunately, in my region I get the Panthers and they’re playing on the same network (Fox) and time slot as Atlanta. I will also get Bills/Jets on CBS. You guys out West will likely get the Chargers on Fox and Bills or Raiders on CBS.

Well, Bama needs a top 10 win to stay within reach of the final 4. That’s how the SEC works. They get favorable rankings for their middle and top tier teams, so that wins look great and losses don’t look as bad. In my line of work, we call that a “self-licking ice cream cone”.

That crew needs to be fired and replaced with this one.

I don’t know if Cota will play but it looks like he’ll be OK.

It’s happening next Sunday. Do you pick a side? I’ll be pulling for Herbert to get the win.

I went to the USC game yesterday. Spencer Rattler looked totally inept. His reads were horrible. He would have man coverage with a stacked box and still hand it off for a loss. I’m glad the Ducks ended up with the #2 QB out of that class. On a side note, Gamecock fans can get pretty loud. They just can’t sustain that level of excitement throughout an entire game. They’re good for a series then they wait until 3rd and long to get loud again. They do have a cool chicken statue, though.

The Pac-12 better lock this guy into a contract before somebody else gets him.

I don’t blame Wilcox one bit. It’s kind of hard to call defensive plays and call out adjustments when your own fans refuse to keep the noise down.

The fact that OSU didn’t have one penalty against Texas seemed a bit odd.

If Dilly leaves then I would suspect that Bo would leave for the NFL. His time at Auburn wasn’t good because of their propensity to play “musical OC’s”. I don’t think he would be up for having his 4th in 5 years.

I think a good topic of discussion would be the amount of touches Dye would get if he had stayed. Lanning doesn’t seem to care about what guys did before he got there (see Cardwell). My guess is dye would be used more as a receiving back.and he wouldn’t get many carries.

It’s funny you mention that. Go to StateoftheU or Canesinsight and you will see several comments about getting rid of “the guy with the mustache”. Many of them think he’s just a regular coach and not the SC coach. They just know he’s always on TV.

New Chip may make us hate old Chip if he starts going for it on 4th down and converting 2-point conversions on extra points.

I listened to Jerry Allen yesterday on ESPNU Radio getting interviewed by Bobby Carpenter. He had an interesting take on the UGA game. He seemed to think that if they hadn’t gotten humbled they may not have realized how hard they need to work and listen to DL and his staff. He said that DL probably told them if they wanted to be as good as UGA then they need to follow his process and really buy into improving.

Big bro may have been an influence.

They’re just getting a NFL education. It’s the same thing they’ll deal with at the next level. The difference in pay between the stars and the special teams guys is vast. It’s also why most of the younger guys blow everything they make. They want to keep up with the big boys with regard to status symbols like houses, cars, etc.

He’s sending a message to his team. Don’t count on anything or anybody else to help you win the game. You have to perform at a high level or you will lose.

Was that Gary Baker in the video with him?
