The Kamikaze Kid

What if Ducks, UU, CU and AZ schools join Big 12? UO still rules the west coast, still the top dog in a conference and now expands their footprint into Texas and east coast.

I'm pretty sure Eastern Washington would take Montana so maybe 3rd place in the state is a better spot for the fuskies.

I’m sure Mario is searching in his junk drawer right now for his Euro League bling.

Just the thought of a Duck in the Heisman conversation the year after Mario leaves would be good enough for me.

Confident enough to believe he's a one and done NBA first round pick. Not confident enough to believe he can win the starting position against a guy that didn't project to be drafted.

I totally forgot about Wooten which ironically, is the point of my post!

UO's NBA Seniors: Prichard, Boucher, Duarte UO one and dones: Brown, King, Bol UO leave early: Dorsey, Bell and Brooks (after receiving Pac 12 player of the Year) See a pattern?

I actually want the thank Fusky fans for keeping this hammer vs nail “rivalry“ interesting.

Mario’s game plan on both sides of the ball seemed to be based on a conservative play not to lose philosophy. This would be appropriate for an under dog team just trying to keep it close into the fourth quarter. Lanning seems to embrace a pedal to the metal philosophy that trusts his play makers to make plays. I think Lanning’s mentality fits this roster much better and I think that makes the Ducks far more dangerous than the odds makers predict.

Luckily, we rarely have to choose.

Until USC and UO walk some walk on the field, you have to go with Utah as the favorites for now. I think the Utes will be even better next year but I also think the same for the Ducks. I have a believe it when I see it attitude with USC as it seems there has been way to much hype generated about them so far.

Locklyn was the one hire I saw as a head scratcher at first do to his lack of experience. After listening to him speak and hearing how players think of him, he now seems like one of the best hires on the staff. It may take this team a year to gel and for the coaching staff to adjust to their new roles but they may also storm right out the gate as a top five team and coaches like Locklyn are the reason why.

I’m a green and yellow guy myself. I’m also on the north side of fifty and understand that I’m not the target audience.

I hear USC is bypassing joining the SEC and is joining the AFC West instead. Get your Super Bowl Championship parade tickets now before there gone!

I'm torn between wanting to beat SC in the championship and wanting to see them face plant out of the gate.

At first, I bought into Mario’s tough talk offensive philosophy as I thought that was what we needed to compete with the Stanford’s and SEC elite at the time. After it devolved into the Lombardi Ball red rover offense, I was off the bandwagon. I think Mario’s fatal flaw is the need for total control. He is more comfortable with slowly but surely and predictability over taking risks. He doesn’t trust his play makers to just go out there and make plays on either side of the ball. Conversely, that’s what Lanning seems to be all about. I don’t care about lightning quick offense. I just want to see a coach that trusts his four and five star players to make four and five star plays.

Seems like USuCk and the fuskies have been battling each other for supremacy in the Delirium Bowl forever.

On the bright side, the players must be stoked trading in a coach that had one guy drafted for a coach that had eight drafted from his D alone. i’m sure that will give DL the credibility to get everyone to buy into his get better every day philosophy.

Physicality = I have no idea what actual coaching is.

She blinded me with prowess.

I'm copying my response from a similar thread as I feel it applies even better to this one. Receivers leaving early with hardly any stats is ridiculous. So is D players leaving early when UO was nearly dead last in third down stops in the country along with many other bad numbers. KT had the national hype but I think the others may have had friend and family hype which is not the same thing. One year with the Lanning staff would have help everybody. Live and learn.

KT telling fellow five stars that UO is better for your long term future than Alabama may be the best sack he ever had!

I would not be surprised to see Cyrus Moss showing up via the portal next year.
