Mudslide

I went to Cal, and not only am I not a Cal fan, but I also don't know anyone who attended Cal who are Cal fans ... or for that matter, anyone at all who is a Cal fan. I wonder how much this "research team" was paid. Hmmmm..............

My comment comes from years of supervising hundreds of people in dozens of departments. Discipline comes from setting rules and boundaries and living by them. Everyone knows firmly what results to expect from their actions. Personal feelings (e.g. anger, fear) are mitigated this way. Dignity is upheld. On the other hand, humiliating someone who has violated rules/policies does not build teamwork or cause respect for the rule setter. I'm an old-old guy and I lived in the culture of discipline and respect. And it is from this culture that I still operate. Young people today seem to have a different take on discipline. That's fine. But in the world of work, any work including sports, they must be firmly alerted to barriers that must not be crossed or something they don't like will proceed. But also, humiliation has zero to do with generating respect or discipline. Fear is all that's likely to germinate. I don't know the circumstances that went into the Colorado incident. But it doesn't ring my bell as a good thing.

For me the problem lies with the lack of recording options with no skipping some ads, FF or FR options, and limited selections (without paying for multiple services). And, of course, the cost will certainly be greater in the long run, as well ... especially with a la carte pay-per-view about to saturate the streaming world. Oh wait, I still have a vcr around here somewhere. What was I thinking?! I can record streamed shows, after all. New age meets old age. Who knew? Now, where is my wife's dust rag ..... ? More seriously, is it possible to record a Ducks game aired (aired?) on Google (without using a vcr)?

I have been opposed to the PAC going to a streaming service. Let's face it. I'm old. Really old. And I won't venture into the dark night of streaming except screaming and hollering. So, if you hear a plaintive voice, screeching in the distance. It's me. It's called Streaming Screaming! I'm still a staunch advocate of satellite, and for good reasons. But yesterday I installed my first streaming device. (UGH.) A devil that goes by the name Roku dragged me by my heals into the New World. (Couple more UGHs.) Bless me Sat Daddy for I have sinned .............

Here is another data point for you all. Apple and Google have both seen declining profits in the last couple of years. Amazon is the only hugely profitable group among the three. So if any streaming service signs on the dotted line, Amazon and its 175 million subscribers have the juice. One the other hand, I have a dream. Let's call my dream The Nike Network. And it carries the PAC at 50 mil per team. Hahaaaaa........

Let us all cheer that the Ducks continue to thrive on the recruiting front after a string of awful coaches. MH, WT, and MariOH-OH ... ye shall be forever forgotten.

I agree. But they just signed a 5-star receiver, Joshisa Trader. (Although ... he is from Hollywood, FLA. So, hometown recruiting mamas may be at work here.)

So ............ did you open it? Maybe it was an offer for him to appear on the show Truth Or Consequences.

Right or wrong, keep in mind that JC is not reporting. He is speculating ... my least favorite activity.

Good eye, LH!! The left tackle looks to be THE top tackle in this year's graduating class. His name is Jordan Seaton and he IS interested in OBD (but Georgia as well). Here is the USA Today article. No. 1 interior OL Jordan Seaton names top schools UGAWIRE.USATODAY.COM Jordan Seaton ranked as the best interior offensive line recruit. He puts UGA in his list of top schools. The right guard is Jordan Harrison. Just a sophomore, he also has some D1 offers. Jordan Harrison is a 6-3, 285-pound Offensive Line from Washington, DC. 247SPORTS.COM summary

Charles, thanks once again for illuminating what is going on with the Mint Defense that DL is building. Freaking good article.

Cannot view twitter feeds anymore without membership. But thanks.

You guys are 'almost' getting me to join twitter. But, naw, not yet.

The appellation, Bruise Brothers has been used in a number of sports (wrestling, NBA, etc.) The original name was applied to the defensive line of the San Diego Chargers (my much loved hometown team), ca 1980. They were Fred Dean, Gary Johnson, Louie Kelcher, and Leroy Jones and were among the most dominant, fearsome lines in football. Perhaps we can find something original like the Crush Crew, Havoc Homies, Green Meanies () or ... What can you come up with?

Projections are like speculations which are like opinions which are like ... well, you know the thing. Everyone has one. I believe Kel'el Ware had similar projections last year. Proof is in the performance. Hoping for Evans to conquer the 'projection'.

Colorado coach Deion Sanders faces foot amputation risk WWW.USATODAY.COM Colorado football coach Deion Sanders continues to be hobbled by foot discomfort stemming from related problems in 2021.

Hey! Welcome back, PD! I'm so glad to see your screen name again. I know it takes a while to overcome what you've been through. Here is hoping you will be good as new, soon.

If this game is any more dramatic than game 1, I may have to have my defibrillator battery replaced. Indeed, these Ducks have turned me back into a baseball fan. GO DUCKS!

Yes. Ok. St. and Udumb were seen as big challenges for this small school. So, what happened? ORU went out and had 13 hits against Ok. St.'s decent pitching staff and had 24 hits (and FOUR homers) against our friends to the north. This Eagles team is likely going to be a big bite to chew for our boys.

Scratching my head, with a little grin on my face, wondering what ever happened to the ADVERTISERS paying the freight on sporting events. It almost seems like they have gotten a message that still eludes conferences and their media partners. Ah ha. This economy is most certainly a down turning one. Somewhere in the bruhaha of this media circus-of-insecurity lies a reason ... more than that it is all tech or subscriber driven ... for a rush to streaming. "Save us, they screamed!" to Mother Streamer. I'm pretty certain there will be some winners ... but also big losers and collapses in this business in the not-too-distant future. Kinda like the U.S. debt, the cost of this business of collegiate sports broadcasting can only get so big before it will eventually face plant on itself.

Great article. Thanks, Joshua. Great analogy, by way ... peanut butter and jelly. Haha ... I can hear the locker room now. "Great TD, Peanut (or Butter)!" "Awesome run, Jelly!" You may have created a monster, JW.

The Ducks take the game, 8-7. GO DUCKS.

The old db in me hated those enemy big dudes crashing down on me ... but the receiver in me loved my own big bruisers. There should be a federal OL Holiday. Thanks for another fine analysis, Coach B.
