Lanning? A HUGE Gamble.
I like what I've seen so far. (Not much!) After watching the video linked, did anyone else think he sorta looks like a bulldog?
-
Feldman and Canzano are saying the AJC article is correct and Lanning will be hired as HC
This will NEVER get old!

It's BACK! Red Chair Baby!
Rogue Ales Hazelnut Brown Nectar is another great dark beer.

It's BACK! Red Chair Baby!
When I have to buy beer at the store I like Laurelwood Free Range Red, and recently discovered Caldera Ashland Amber. But the best beer of all is my own homebrew, a sort of clone of McMennamin's Hammerhead. Mine is a little darker in color and slightly less hoppy. I call it "Homerhead", and oh, baby... it's soooo good! 🤪

Big WBB News: Hosendove Granted Waiver By NCAA to Play in 2021-22
Can't wait to see her play. I understand she's been tearing it up in practice.

Kiffin Could be the Man
Luke Fickel?

Matt Prehm's latest update on coaching search: 5 pm Dec. 7
I like Aranda best of all the names I've heard floated. Lots of youthful energy, recent success, recruiting ties to So. Cal and Texas, defensive minded. Seems like solid character, and we already know he looks good in green and yellow!

Excuse Me While I Laugh ...
Earthquake Bill Enyart, former Medford Black Tornado, my alma mater! I grew up next door to Coach Speigelberg, and must admit I was a Beaver fan back then. Played front yard football with Scott and Barry.

I not sure exactly why, but hiring Kiffin feels to me like selling your soul for a natty.

We Can't Do a Regular Poll so...
Aranda

USC is Getting Uncomfortable
Aranda would be my first choice with Brady or Tedford as OC

Players transferring
Cam Rising must be about 35 judging by the looks of his hairline.

Oregon AD Rob Mullens Unhappy with Miami: "Never Contacted"
In this day and age of college football every AD should have a prepared list of HC candidates ready at the end of any successful season, because you know somebody is coming after yours.
-
Let's Just Take Miami's Money and Move on.
I was remembering when Oregon hired Altman, I didn't know who he was or anything about him. For me it was a head scratcher. No ties to the west coast or U of O that I'm aware of and look at the success he's had here. I think he was a home run hire, and I hope Mullen and PK can find someone similar for the football team. I hope (and suspect) they may have started searching three weeks ago.

Five Candidates and Two Firecrackers to Replace Cristobal and Get Oregon Back to a ‘Natty
Me neither too. I get queasy just at the thought of seeing Kiffin's face on the Oregon sideline. Ugh.

Career Night By Parrish Sparks Ducks
Any word on Taylor Hosendove being cleared to play?

Cristobal is an Elite Coach
Maybe cheaper, but no way does Florida have better tasting beer than right here in Oregon. I think Mario can afford it. BTW, I brew the most delicious beer on the planet in my own garage for about $1.00 per pint! Sorry, it's not for sale tho.

GameDay Thread of Pac-12 Championship Game: the MENTAL, Not the Physical Side Will Win
I think the "getting revenge" and "payback" mindset was the wrong motivation. That is the opposite their 1/0 philosophy. Should have been focused on taking advantage of the opportunity they earned through a season of hard work, to win the P12 championship. The prize is now within your grasp. Go take it.

GameDay Thread of Pac-12 Championship Game: the MENTAL, Not the Physical Side Will Win
First thing I'd do is burn those horrid uniforms like, yesterday. What's wrong with good old green and yellow? Second, I don't think I'll miss JoMo. Once again T Dye averages about 6 yds. per, only gets 15 carries? Lastly, I'd like to see Ty Thompson start in the meaningless bowl game, like last year with Shuck, but give TT the whole game. AB had his shot, bye now.

Sometimes the Officiating Helps Oregon
That didn't look like targeting to me. I understand trying to limit helmet to helmet contact, but it will never be eliminated entirely (unless you eliminate helmets) Looked to me like his facemask mostly hit shoulder pad. I sure didn't see him launch head first into the receiver.

Oregon/OSU GameDay Thread: What is Oregon’s Identity? What Should it Be?
It sure was fun watching Chip's Ducks regularly putting up 40, 50, 60+ points per game, but I'd be happy with a "ground and pound" running identity, so long as it results in W's. I think Chip himself once said something like "I don't care how many points we score, as long as at the end of the game we have one more point than they do."

It's THAT Time! If Blundering Beaver Coaches Were CATS and DOGS...
I'm SO glad I saw this. You people are hilarious! Happy thanksgiving, GO DUCKS!

Perfect Take on "Spoiled Fans"
The first game I attended at Autzen was the 1983 "Civil War", so for me, 9 or 10 wins and a bowl game feels pretty friggin' good.
-
Mario and Reality!
I watched KT being double and triple teamed against Utah, (when he wasn't dropping back in coverage -what the ????) which should be expected. I also expected someone else to be able to get pressure under that circumstance. I like Mario a lot, but I'm not sold yet on Moorhead or DeRuyter. My knock on Mario in the Utah game is the team did not appear to play with any energy or emotion, sense of urgency. That's on the head coach. His team didn't look ready to play.

Oregon has a Third Down Problem
Whenever I hear "third and long" with the Ducks on defense I think - oh no, they've got us right where they want us!
