  1. After the string of injuries for the team I hope they get some good health for awhile. Sabally will always be injured off and on but when she is healthy enough to play she is fun.
  2. A combination of them being ding dongs and at least one of the refs being a massive egoist (I recognize the very bald muscular one from his horrendous night at Matt earlier this year).
  3. I only want non front runners who are hungry to compete. No need for anyone else.
  4. UwZ7d9y.mp4
  5. Basically if someone is ill they knew you wouldn't believe them and came to work sick in order to make a little more money to make ends meet?
  6. Love to see these road wins.
  7. You would still feel that way if it turns out he likely is guilty of the charges? Bad message to youth and the women and girl fans of the Oregon Ducks.
  8. I was more offended by the fact he worse sunglasses indoors.
  9. Guess I am in the minority when I don't care about coach speak things or "gosh I really love it here" stuff. Just don't be a horrible person and have us play an exciting brand of football. I don't need a daddy figure to glorify as the best human on earth like so many football fans seem to want in their head coaches.
  10. Fantastic! I remember driving up to Eugene after the Rose Bowl and getting into town about 2 hours before the UCLA game and getting the last student ticket and getting a seat on the baseline closest to the UCLA bench. We beat that team that went on to win the title. A good palate cleanser after the debacle that was the Penn State loss in Pasadena.
  11. I hope our D improves but to expect anything approaching what we just saw is a recipe for frustration a few years down the road when "he's new let him get his guys in" won't hold water anymore. But hopefully the Oregon D will improve but we shall see.
  12. I am very fine with this being above board and the actual players getting paid instead of just the coaches. Any money the players can make from a system that has profited off of them for decades is just fine. I hope Knight offers a million bucks to as many stars as possible.
  13. One thing I would try to do with early signers is to get them to take AP courses in high school so they can get a start on a degree and lighten the academic load during college. This would also help prepare the incoming guys for college academics. It might also indicate to parents the sincerity of academic intention by the coaching staff.
  14. I have had a sneaking suspicion that many of Cristobal's highly ranked recruits are front runners who lack grit. I guess we shall see after Lanning takes over.
  15. More like a Tonka truck that mimics big tough trucks.
  16. I think Graziani and Feeley were pretty good.
  17. This is obvious to me but of all sports, coaches American football coaches are highly allergic to thinking out of the box. He would make an obvious guy to give a few carries at the goal line or short yardage.
  18. Cats like to play with their food sometimes before killing it.
  19. I guess this means Phil Knight wanted Wilcox? I can't comprehend it any other way.
  20. I understand his frustrations but the decent character building thing to do in adversity when you pledge yourself to a team is to finish out the season. So in my opinion Cristobal misled and Pittman acted poorly. You simply CANNOT leave your comrades in the heat of battle because of petty grievances. Trying times are what makes a man/woman.
  21. I told my friend this about Mario from very early on and he fought and fought because he is one of the homer fans that needs to have an idealized view of the head coach. But he came around eventually and especially when the blah blah about toughness never showed up consistently on the field.
  22. So all of these guys asked for Wilcox to be interviewed and according to the narrative he did and was offered the job and then refused it? That seems odd. If true did none of the players ask Wilcox before sending the letter? That seems unlikely. Anyone care to make sense of this nonsense. And yes Canzano is only invested in clickbait and no I truly don't think he ever comes up with any interesting angles. But he is a good promotoer and muckraker.
  23. Now let's see if all those big time recruits are actually any good or just front runners who can't self motivate.
  24. My cynical mind was he thought Oregon would await with baited breath his decision and hope he chose Oregon over Miami. And when Oregon took back the contract he kind of put himself in a bind and had to choose Miami instead of getting an even fatter raise at Oregon as he had hoped. But he was in a no lose situation I guess. I just find his "integrity" and "good man" schtick a bit much and he would have gone to the highest bidder. But then I might have also.
