Very nicely played, Axel. My only suggestion is to substitute "acorns" for "teeth" as befitting the school with some of the most smug and arrogant fans in the hemisphere.

Kepnang, Williams and Soares all had good games. Much better ball movement and defensive energy in the 2nd half.

Not to whizz in the cornflakes, but USU coach Odom was at UMBC in 2018 when they engineered a historic first round defeat of #1 Virginia as a #16 seed in the NCAA Tournament. So the guy can coach.

I couldn't agree more with the article and this take on PAC12 vs SEC officiating. The application of the existing rule is arbitrary, alters game outcomes and in the PAC12 it borders on virtue signaling by officials and the league office.

What I really want to see is the follow up blog from this troll after Oregon won in the Horsesh**(oe). Thanks for providing a brief return to.a Duck happy place

Thanks for the responses. My point is that Lanning is able to develop talent as well as recruit it. I don't expect to have a Georgia/SEC-CFP level defense in a year. We do have 4 and 5 star talent (Sewell, Flowe, Manning, et al) though, and I don't think Lanning takes the Oregon job if he doesn't think he can build that here.

Georgia had eight defensive players in the combine, and for the most part they put on a show. That wouldn't be a surprise if they were all 5☆ recruits, and three were, but more were 3-4☆ out of high school: 2022 NFL Scouting Combine winners and losers, Day 3: Georgia's Jordan Davis, Travon Walker, Devonte Wyatt turn heads WWW.NFL.COM Defensive linemen and linebackers took the field on Saturday at the NFL Scouting Combine. Who starred on the big stage? Who... Jordan Davis DL 3☆ Travon Walker DL 5☆ DeVonte Wright DL 4☆ Nakobe Dean LB 5☆ Channing Tindall ILB 4☆ Quay Walker LB 4☆ Lewis Cine S 4☆ Derion Kendrick DB 5☆ Dean and Kendrick, both 5☆, didn't do drills at the combine. Dean, Walker, Wyatt and Davis could all go in the first round with Tindall, Walker and Cine soon after. Lanning and crew took kids with varying levels of raw talent and developed them into NFL caliber players. I've got to believe that if they could do it there, they can do it here.

Wong reminds me of Gwen Svekis from that great 2018 team. Slugger and a force behind the plate, ultimately an All American and NFCA National Catcher of the Year. Great catching makes good pitching better. Ms. Wong appears to have that level of talent.

I enjoyed his work though he could be polarizing. He sometimes blew smoke and distorted opinion out of his northbound south end. And. I. Wasn't. Always. A. Fan. Of. His. Staccato. Sentence. Structure. He did gore the occasional ox that needed it (Larry Scott), though he went after the Chipster with a bit too much enthusiasm at times. Some Duck fans will cheer this. I'll kinda miss him.

I think it's pretty apparent that from Herbert to Slough to AB and maybe even Thompson, QB development at Oregon lagged behind what it could been during the Cristobal years. Nix was coached up by Dillingham at Auburn to be SEC FOTY. The talent in the QB room is there, maybe we get to see it now.

Wow. If he had a massive MI and required airlift to OHSU for a ventricular assist device from heart failure, that could be in preparation for a transplant. I hope that isn't the case as the outcomes for that can be pretty grim, but most everything else could have been handled here without the need for transfer. Just speculating and I hope I'm wrong.

Starting with the Montana game, the Fuskies were certainly a "surprise "

Forgot the trio of 4☆ incoming freshmen from Cali and Texas.

James Crepea of O-live just broke this news on Davies. Sorry to lose another player, but hopefully the DB room will be fine given the portal additions.

Charles, I applaud you running the site as you wish. I for one am tired of the confrontation that some people indulge in when they know they are anonymous and can spew their vitriol online without having the guts to face up with someone they disagree with. Like many others that follow and post here, I am of a certain advanced age. I grew up with "social media" that involved telling someone in person what you thought. If you weren't willing to do that you kept things to yourself and shut the f*** up. Here, there is a standard of civility that makes me think I would be willing to have a beer with anyone I don't see eye to eye with. Thank you for the venue!

Must've been a helluva pregame meal and pep talk. KG probably said, "take no prisoners and you starters only let up when you are on the bench waving a towel"

Yikes, is that 66-22 score for real? And all without Nyara! DVR tonite for sure. Looking at the stats, Oregon can't miss and WSU can't buy one. Is it great D or did the Leger-Walker sisters not show up? Sure looks like Sedona Prince decided to make a cameo.

I can see the headlines in the Arizona Daily Star now "Oregon's Coach Graves (team) Beats (other team's) Women!

I read things like this about how Riley left OU and it makes me appreciate how Lanning did his exit from Georgia right. We all can understand the dicey nature of promising recruits continuity before the ink is dry on a coaching move, but there is a mild wafting odor of sleaze in the way Riley did it. This is not an isolated event. Too bad this kid followed the $$$ to TA&M, though.

The big difference is that Boucher could sneak out to the wing and drain treys, a match up nightmare for opposing defenses. Still lament the what could have been had Boucher been healthy for that Final Four run.

I'm in this camp. One can be critical of the how his departure came down, and of MC's limitations as a player developer and field general coach, but he stabilized the Oregon program when it was reeling from the Taggart departure and made us a national force again in recruiting and reputation. The job he took was at his alma mater where he won a national championship, in his home state, in a Cuban-American community that he was raised in and where his ailing mother lives along with his extended family. For heavens sake, wish the guy well. And be thankful that we appear to have found a new coach that can be everything Cristobal was and probably more.

Kinda interesting to see the CFB media Lincoln Riley lovefest start to lose some traction. Still think the Williams kid goes to the U of Spoiled Children, but I agree it's a case of s*** or get off the pot on his decision at this point for the rest of us.

Yeah, maybe commit, sign, earn a starting position and then feel the love at Autzen in the fall. Though it could be to see how much Duck fans support their teams. That folks can do.

This young man seems to be pretty athletic at his size (6-6, 300#+), his picture shows very little 'bad' weight on him and his weight room numbers are really good. Kapa'a is a pretty small place on Kauai and I bet he didn't get the kind of national attention he would have in SoCal. Stepping into Oregon's strong Poly culture is his home away from home. Under the radar, indeed.

I kinda like 'em for first effort. Totally Eugene, too. "You know, you can't uncut it"
