    Yikes.  Mizzou and tOSU are putting on an absolute groaner of a game....3-0 in the 3rd quarter.

     

    tOSU is down to a true freshman QB after Kyle McCord transferred and his backup got hurt early on.  

     

    I think there have been more punts than first downs.  

     

    There is a fine line between "defensive struggle" and "offensive ineptitude".

    Just wait until FSU/UGA. That one will be ugly for other reasons, though.

    At some point, you just have to face reality. I hope that the young man can earn a college degree and prepares himself for life beyond football. 

    I’ve noticed that most of the guys who transferred away from Oregon didn’t have much of an impact on the field for their new teams. Tre Benson and Kingsley Suamataia are notable exceptions. However, I think Dowdell will do big things.

    OT - But The Hits Just Keep On Coming in Seminole Country. This kid is missing the chance to audition vs. Georgia. Either a very smart or very stupid on the part of his agent.

     

     

    THEATHLETIC.COM

    The redshirt junior took over as the Seminoles' starter after Jordan Travis suffered a season-ending left leg injury.

     

    Didn't the Orange Bowl, especially it being a game played in Florida, used to mean something? Can we please just skip to 2026, and a 16-team PO field with the first 2 rounds played on campus and 4 bowl games players will suit up for?

     

    You have a chance to put it in the face of the PO Ct against SEC UGA and you leave your teammates in the lurch? SMH. This is not a guy risking an injury that will derail his going in the first 2 rounds of the NFL draft. 

     

    Man, this Stuff keeps getting more difficult for an old-timer to understand. 

    From what I have heard, it was inferred that he wouldn’t be part of FSU’s future as a starting QB. Kind of like Ty Thompson. So, he basically said “Screw this. Why should I stick around and help this coaching staff out”?

     

    It’s probably not a bad idea since the entire offense has opted out. I don’t think there would be much in the way of useful film unless he wants to showcase his ability to pick grass out of his face mask and break the Orange Bowl interception record.

  4. It’s as if they think DL just decided to trash their team because he’s jealous of Deion.

     

    I will say this. Dan Lanning showed mercy in the 2nd half. On a personal note, If I was Oregon’s coach and that kind of stuff happened during the pre-game I would have scored non-stop and I would’ve made certain that Sheduer Sanders left the field on a back board.

     

    I too lack nobility.

    I say let the man cook and eat how he wants. When I lived in Virginia most apts, condos, and even single family areas didnt allow outdoor grilling.

    I think I would prefer to live in a van down by the river and use this grill rather than live in a complex that doesn’t allow outdoor grilling.

     

    Keep in mind that this is coming from a guy who hasn’t cooked a holiday meal in the oven in years. Everything is done on the Kamado or smoker. This year it’s a fresh ham. It’s been brining for the past 5 days and it will be ready to smoke on Christmas Day.

  6. Agree to disagree (except on your cuts of meat). Beef tastes better when cooked over natural wood with just sea salt and cracked black pepper. Although, finishing the steak in a cast iron pan with butter is acceptable, but only if the pan is on an open flame. 

     

    If DL continues to cook steaks like that we won’t have to worry about UT or A&M ever trying to lure him away. He won’t be allowed residency in the state of Texas.

    Where Oregon's decommits in the 2024 class signed on early NSD

     

    A day after early national signing day, we take a look at where the four Oregon decommitments signed on early National Signing Day...

     

    247SPORTS.COM

    A day after early national signing day, we take a look at where the four Oregon decommitments signed on early National Signing Day.

     

     

     

    This article tells me a lot of things I didn’t know about the recruiting process. We always hear about the guy who “de-committed” or “flipped” from one program to the next. What I gather from this article is that there are programs that “de-offer” and flip to a better recruit. 
     

    This isn’t something we hear about, but likely happens. This is the kind of thing we’re not used to in Eugene, but I’m sure the “de-offer” manifests itself in the form of an unattractive alternative such as a gray-shirt or an incentive based NIL deal that is unreachable.

     

    With the transfer rules we have these days it looks like an early offer means about as much as an early commitment. And that’s OK. Except, you don’t want the reputation as a programs that pulls scholarship offers at the last minute.

  8. Helfrich was to Oregon what Barry Switzer was to the Cowboy. Or if you want to use a CFB example, what Larry Coker was to the Miami Hurricanes. 
     

    These guys carried the torch for their predecessors, but everyone knew their time was short. For Helfrich, the 2016 season was his demise, but he was as good as gone after 70-21. No CFB coach from a program that has an ounce of self respect survives a loss like that to a hated rival.

     

    As for Fentress, he said it all when he said the conference championship was won with Helfrich’s players. Two other coaches came in and never had a losing season with his guys.
     

    If any coach should have gone 4-8 with those players it was Taggart. Losing Herbert for six weeks really put him behind the eight ball. However, he managed a seven win season. That should tell you how bad of a coach Helfrich was.

  9. I don’t think we have to worry about it. He’s down to one school and that’s Ole Miss. Oregon is in the mix because he needs a second hat to lay on the table when he makes his “dramatic” choice. It reminds me of DJU making his choice between Clemson and Oregon. Duck fans knew there was no chance of landing him. Good thing, too. Mario would’ve destroyed his confidence.

    Not necessarily. Bair is going on a mission so he realistically won’t play for 3 years. 2 years gone and then a year to get back in playing shape. They really aren’t in the same class, even though they technically are. 

    A signed NLI for LDS’s used to mean something before the new transfer rules. Bair has no real reason to sign one because neither he nor the university will be beholden to it. Something tells me he’s going to end up at BSU or BYU in a couple of years.
