I too am thankful for the wonderful surgeons in Eugene. My back last year and my wife’s recent breast cancer where he removed all of the cancerous tissue.

Isn’t the essence of a great interview putting the focus on the subject while the person asking the questions fades into the background? Like a well-officiated basketball game, you don’t notice the referees.

I know, I know, you think Conzano is a Beaver honk, so you turn off at the sight of his name. I don't. Been a John Conzano subscriber for years, ignoring any perceived loyalties, and just enjoying an experienced sports news guy who has a heart. This interview, linked below, I hope, shows why Conzano is one of the most outstanding communicators in sports today. Enjoy! https://open.substack.com/pub/johncanzano/p/canzano-dan-lanning-says-he-never?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email

Everything is better in Texas until nature calls when you’re on the interstate.

Here's my "entry" to the name the rivalry contest:

Chip Kelly “left” OBD (he was forced out by a pending NCAA suspension) in 2012! The high school players being recruited today were five years old. I question whether they even know his name, and certainly don’t know his out dated offensive system.

Jon, if all of your suggestions come about the committee members will resign "en mass".

Thanks. Jon, OK by me if it goes in the record books as a tie.

In the beginning, the Champion of college football used to be the University of Chicago. Then for decades it was a school from the Ivy League. Those championships were decided by a “beauty contest” in the press, not by games on the field, as they are today. Since the college football playoffs began, USC has not been included as a participant. Whatever championship they won before the playoffs makes them as relevant today as the University of Chicago or teams from the Ivy League. All that counts is what is retained in the memory of an 18 year old player deciding what school he will attend.

I have a confession to make. On Thursday I figured out what I was going to put down as my chosen score. First I decided the margin, that the Ducks would win by 14 points. Then I figured how many points USC would make, 24, and added 14 for the Ducks’ score. Within a few minutes of Mr FishDuck opening the thread I looked at his score estimate and was disappointed to find that he chose the precise numbers I intended to put down. So I kept the same 14 point margin and increased each team by a field goal. If Lincoln Riley doesn’t choose to go for two and his QB panic on the throw history would record a different winner.

Never had a doubt. There’s some fan base down south that likes to spout:”The Ducks can’t win the big games.” Hope this one is B1G enough for them.

Jon Sousa the salesman lied to you. Hope you didn't buy the black clothing. You should wonder why school busses are yellow and highway construction workers wear yellow or orange. I suggest that you google this: "In daylight is a yellow object more visible than a black object?" Here's the response: "Yes, in daylight, a yellow object is more visible than a black one . Yellow is highly eye-catching and one of the most visible colors to the human eye, especially under daylight conditions, which is why it is used for safety equipment and school buses. A black object is less visible because it absorbs most wavelengths of light, whereas a yellow object reflects yellow light, making it stand out against most backgrounds." So our QB's can see receivers wearing yellow more easily than when they wear black. Amazingly the next most visible color - green.
