Pad Levels
We didn't win because we had far less desire than UW. Pretty simple. You gotta want it not just expect it.

What Went Wrong in Oregon's 34-31 Loss to Washington in the Pac-12 Title Game
I have no idea if this is reality or not but it most certainly appeared UW WANTED to win and the urgency was reflected by their energy levels. Whereas Oregon seemed like they EXPECTED to win. Couple that with Bo probably being too amped up was not a good combo. Also, did the O and D lines seem way off in intensity? What a darn letdown. As a former D1 middle-distance runner I simply can't comprehend not giving your best in terms of mental focus especially against a rival that beat us 2 years in a row. And the ref blocking the pass and that guy coming out from out of bounds were two very odd plays. All in all that sucked.

If I'm being honest, Beaver fan suffering pleases me more than seeing the Montlake Bundys fail.

Can Ty Thompson Raise His Game and Lead Ducks in '24?
From what little I have seen he is not a very good runner so that is concerning.

What Happened to Innovative Chip?
Snack Belly and his trademark "eat the buffet" should thank his lucky stars Mike B recruited and set the table so very very well for him.

Oops, Mari (no O) Has Done it Again
I was out on him before he coached the first regular season game at Oregon. The young guys begged for him to come on board and then he promptly coached them to a sucky showing in the bowl game.

Tough Decisions for Wilner and Canzano...and Us?
For awhile I got sucked into Canzano and his very calculated clickbait methodology. But I came to the conclusion he cares not one iota about anything he writes about. He cares about clicks (all fine as he needs to make a living). So I find him to be an inescapably insincere public figure and thus don't read him anymore.

Thanks for all the replies. I am now certain I am an old fart.

How To Improve Bland Fan Experience At Oregon Football And Basketball?
After watching Wisconsin and other schools' ways of getting everyone hyped pregame or during timeouts I am again struck by how utterly bland and tired almost every aspect of the U of O's fan interaction happens to be. Of course, I like Shout (though the timing at basketball games is often poorly thought out) but other than that it seems hopelessly outdated and low rent cookie cutter. Any suggestions on what we might use as our pregame hype song or what else to improve the fan interaction? Or maybe I am just an old fart.

Can Thompson Re-Write His Story This Spring?
Are there examples of someone repeatedly performing poorly that then turns into an above-average contributor?

Guess it's time to demote him from Chief Keith to Assistant to the Assistant sub-Chief Keith

Canzano: Oregon Ducks Should Welcome the Bronny James Show
I would be just fine without Bronny and his quite insincere, self-promoting, PED-guzzling father around the program.

Yes but LSU has an elite coach.

An Open Letter to Rob Mullens....
I think Alabama likes to avoid playing teams that are even vaguely okay out of the conference if at all possible.

Canzano: 'Air' Makes Me Think About Phil Knight Sequel
The trailer is hilarious...Who should we sign? Oh some random kid nobody has ever heard about named Michael Jordan. Oh, the national player of the year and two-time first-team all-American, and leader of the Gold Medal winning Olympic team?

OMIGOSH! Altman Quote about Kel'el Ware...Whew!
Also I think Lok Wur has the size, speed and agility to be an amazing 3 and D guy even at the next level. Having worked for years in South Sudan I cheer for him extra.

OMIGOSH! Altman Quote about Kel'el Ware...Whew!
Dana is also massively underperforming in terms of getting his guys to play with effort. I might have to sit him for awhile until he can coach with intention again.
