If you have not heard a rumor by 9 AM, start one...... I hear its the Boise Blazers (drop the trail).

Back in the day of leather helmets, the first professional league had trouble competing for players because of what the college teams payed. Perhaps in time the NFL will feel the impact. A player can earn nice nest egg and get a degree. Some may choose not to beat their head against a shield wall for a payday. To speed this up the NCAA could extend eligibility to 5 years (or 6) and not count injury time against the 5 years. just spit balling here but what happens when potentially very high draft picks choose not to play for the teams with high draft picks? If if you think of NIL as a rock, and you throw it in the big time football pond who knows the ripple effect? Buckle up, the ride could be bumpy. all in fun.

You only pay 7 million for a untried HS quarterback if you have more money than brains. It is that simple.

As soon as his coach learns what a point guard is, i expect the NBA to learn what it means to be Pritch Slapped.

The NBA- “Superstars” costing 40% of a teams salary cap complaining about his “teammates”. Long term guarantied money that reward mediocrity between contract years. 25% of teams “tanking “ the entire season for higher draft picks. Two tiered officiating that favors the “superstars”. All this and a $12 dollar hotdog the globetrotters vs the Washington nationals is more entertaining. just my opinion.

Did someone say “pancakes”?

I once complained to Charles about a “purple” as a pin color. Charles politely explained, paraphrasing here- meh I choose the color. I thought about that for a while and I decided to think - oh 4 Montana, every time I see purple. try it out.

You sir cannot be Stalin, because I am Stalin (My uncles brother Castro approves of this message) all in fun!

There’s no tournaments in baseball.

The purple prowess lunch box team. Perfect.

Keep your receipts. Chips first game as HC-mailed a check to a guy after he complained about the cost to travel to Boise to watch the Ducks get stomped into a mud puddle on the blue. the best Oregon hit on that day came after the final gun. Not an auspicious start for the chipster.

Thought I would share a piece made by an artist that worked mostly wooden wall art. Dave was authorized by Disney to use their Donald image, limited to 12 pieces. Dave made the 12 various sizes. All natural colors, Dave was proud that he never used a stain on any of his wood art. 1 was given to Phil Knight and another to Chip Kelly. He used most of the others as auction items for the Eagle club and other charities. I was also lucky enough to be gifted 1 of the 12. For almost 40 years you would find Dave, section 34 WC every home game. When I was fortunate enough to attend a game as Dave’s escort I brought a lawn chair as my seat.

Love the what if’s........this ones on the officials...... Auburn, NC game, near end of game. Auburn’s running backs knee hit the turf. He was down, no long gain, no field goal. Biggest non call in Oregon football.

its The other way around, CFP should dump the SEC. as long as they are in the room-nothing changes.

Just thinking about the question makes my head hurt.

Not only they paid 8 mil a year for this guy, but they paid our new coach salary as well. As as far as the player, a foolish play. As far as the coach response, a simple “you and are I are going to have a halftime chat and you will do the listening” would have been a better form of this coachable moment. MCs display of drill Sargent like rage revealed to me a huge flaw in his leadership. MC acted as a hammer and The player was a nail. Embarrassing play yes, after the play more so for MC than Hutson. Praise In public, coach in private. Plays like that say the coaches did not cover the private part as well as the should have.

Just how much was he paid to be a stuffed suit?

No body gos to that restaurant anymore it’s too crowded.

Sooner be a Duck?

I ask again, what’s the point of having a league if you don’t play everyone in the league? Shake it up, IMHO the rush to expand is a huge mistake, just adding teams you won’t play every year? What’s the point other than creating controversy for the talking heads, and 4 hour games to sell you chips. To steal a phrase-Bah Humbug To be clear, I was also opposed to baseball splitting the American and National into divisions as well.

It’s a toss up. Was PP made to be a Celtic or were the Celtics made for PP?

I want to see a business like approach. Limit drive killing procedural mistakes on offense, Defensively give up fewer 3rd and longs that turn into first downs. Eliminate the unforced errors. Eliminate taunting their opponents Hand the ball to the officials after the play. Create havoc between the whistles. IMHO We fans need to show patience for the few seasons, hope for the best but this is a process we are observing. Can the Ducks win out this year? That’s a possibility. However, it’s more probable the Ducks hit some bumps. Either way- buckle up it will be a fun ride!

I worked a contract in Michigan in the early 80s. I was fortunate to be able to attend pistons games. Isiah Thomas had the ability to go to the rim and make the tallest look the fool. Truly astounding how he could go into a swarm of defense and and get not only a shot up but the one he wanted. Watching Payton play the similarities, tough, relentless attack and love of the game shines.

More of a thread jacker (so I’ve been called). I have struggled with finding an appropriate place to drop this in but it’s football, football, football around here. Not complaining but.....

I get the what aboutism, when I suggested that the PAC play a full schedule. Frankly as long as you play the SEC/BCS game we lose. How many SEC playing SEC for a “national championship” do you want to sit through, knowing that they got there using minimal conference games and and a out of conference schedule that rivals The big sky (no offense to Washington intended) I suggest a minimum of 10 games in conference for all leagues. All champions get a slot at the dance. The two lowest seeded teams have a play in game. Those currently with super leagues (16 teams) are forced to rethink strategies. Let the SEC adjust to the rest of the country. As long as the SEC is driving the buss and the BCS is riding shotgun no one wants to talk about the elephant riding on top. or my other suggestion is we just skip ahead and declare 32 AAA super teams that are NFL farm teams, and let the NFL foot the bill. After all the NFL gets the “pick of the litter” with Zero up front cost (in the financial work this is known as a -good fn deal). just spit balling here.....
