And...LA and SD are big markets but college football isn't the only game in town or even the big game in town like it is anywhere in SEC country or a lot of other places. Think about USuC and sUCkLA with 7200 in the stands in the Coliseum or Rose Bowl in recent years for home games and the embarrassment that brought the Pac. Unless they are winning that won't change.

He was spot on in this article. The world governing bodies of T&F have been an excrement show for decades. I get that there are cheaters and people doping and drugging to try to win...remember Ben Johnson? But at the root we have sports where it takes you back to being a kid...who can run the fastest, the farthest, throw the farthest, jump the longest or highest... we should all relate to T&F at it's most basic levels. This will hopefully be a wakeup call for the sport. This was absolutely ridiculous, like the Crap 12 refs in the Stanford game in 2012, can't even get it right with a review. To say that Devon's DQ is the defining moment of these games is pathetic, sad, and disgraceful, but...100% spot on true. Lame for T&F, and the athletes that work SO HARD to be at this level, I feel so bad for Devon, he's taking it like a man, gracefully, but it has to sting. Money and politics, conference realignment, everything wrong with sports is rearing its ugly head at every turn lately and it is ruining sports. Sorry, I'm back in Fairbanks and it's gray cold and rainy and I'm hungry and ticked off the fun of sports to divert from the craziness of this world is becoming like everything else wrong with the world.

I bet we land record number of 5* in the end... by a large margin. Some DL/OL/LB and the RB...Young, maybe others

Looks like big bleachers with triple decked areas...a lot of people

Looking everywhere for pics of what Hayward looks like with 25,000 seats...basically doubling to meet the world standard. Doesn't look like it will fit very well in the north end, curious if anyone has any pics or renditions, I've searched the web and came up blank. Wish I could just go, what a cool event. Can't imaging traffic and hotels in Eugene right now. I've been working in Alaska, hotels in Fairbanks are often in the $600/night range, endless tourists.

I too appreciate what he brought us, but a lot of fans were screaming for Chip to come back when Mari left...I was not one of them. Different era already, time to move on. I'm excited about a new era of innovation. I don't really even want him as OC now. OC needs to be a good recruiter. Helf was a great OC...

I don't think football or sports is the main criteria for a lot of these

Great hire. XC should be pushing for the top again, hopefully he'll have some great assistants to keep sprints at a high level. Please Uncle Phil it's time for a world class indoor facility! How could recruits pass it up? Eugene, Hayward...

This header is too close to purple...sorry

I spelled it "iffense" intentionally because like Crisbal's names I can't put an "O" in them with a straight face...intentional typo Mr. Administrator 😉 and "iffense" ("if") had some double-entendre too...what IF as Just Ducky says...Herbert had Chip or Helf as OC?

Shows you what the prevent offense will do for you...thanks Mari

Prevent offense will do that to a team...

If we see a lot of success this year and player development, regardless of what B16g cOn ference we end up in, I think we'll get unprecedented number of 5* and finish top 5 or better. I also did NOT stay at the Holiday Inn Express last night in Fairbanks, because rooms are $500 a night up here, but I'm still smart and my opinion is best. Or maybe best western.

The mild kitties need a new sandbox with less cactus to bury their "stuff". UT, CO, ASU and AZ almost make a Big 12 pile of sense. Oregon, mutts, Stanturd and Notre Dumb to the B1G. Maybe WSU OSU and Cal will have to Big 12 it too or it'll be Mountain West, baby! Duke, NC, FSU, Clemson to the SEC. Mari Cristbal and his big swirling humid windstorm can win in the "new" ACC with 223 yds/game total offense

if USuCk leaves, and sUCLA has to stay, the Crap 12 will be Crap 12 in reference to more than the officiating and Larry, just because they go. It's their brand even though 8-4 is a good year since Pete Carroll left. The condoms go B1G then we may have to as well. It cracks me up, they probably won't even win the south this year but Lost Wages has them as the favorite already. They don't have the lines, offense or defense, and too little depth. Riley can bring in the flash players all he wants but they have some building to do. Their receivers will be slowing up after 5-6 seconds wondering where the ball is, and their Heismann hopeful transfer QB will be picking himself up off the coliseum floor again pulling real grass out of his facemask. 4th and long, another punt by the condoms

A bunch of 5* kids going 8-4 every year will wear thin in 4-5 years, can we get the kids that want a natty over $Millions? With the League never a sure thing, injuries possibilities, etc. I can't blame them. You can buy a natty, or you can buy natty rosters and coach them into the dirt and lose to Ball State with an inept offense. Which do you think Mari Cristbal will do?

aTm 🤣

Hopefully he is named alpha, and hopefully he too comes to Oregon...and has Heismann success Archie Griffin style during our three-peat natty streak

Charles you spelled Cristbal wrong, or with him should it be "wrng"???

Ummm...I wouldn't be surprised if we have 17 or so 4 and 5 star kids, with a record number of 5's. Yeah mutts and bears are no worry

Verballed to Texas this morning...don't forget early signing day is well into December. Let's just give Sarkisian 12 games to get to 7-5 and THEN see how many verbal's still want to underachieve there...just like the UW and USC days. We'll be loaded at WR anyhow. DT, DE, ILB, CB, OT, OG, Moore and Young...let's load up there. Class of '24 could be insane if we see success on the field this year.

And as we all know, Herbert still got picked 6th...and Mari's offense was clearly holding him back. There is no doubt we'll see immediate and drastic improvements on offense, we have a lot of talent at skill positions and a great OL, and decent depth. Still young...not too many inexplicable picks by the QB and we'll be fantastic. D will be a lot better too, overnight.

I hope we ransack the Pac this fall, double down on Ewetah, and the Georgia upset puts us 13-0 going into the playoffs at early signing...and about 8-10 5* kids sign on early. Hey, could happen

Under Mari Cristbal, that $9.5M will look pretty funny when the 5 star kid gets in because the transfer is injured and he throws more picks than touchdowns and the "U" goes 7-5 in a good year. Can't blame the kid for taking the money. Remember when we were 18? Doesn't matter to them I guess, some booster ponied up the dough. After 3 years of mediocre bowls like the Johnson Flex Handle Doggie Doo Scooper Bowl on December 16th, the Miami faithful will force him out, he'll be coaching the O-Line at Central Connecticut Tech School for Screwdriver Testers at his next stop. Rashada will resurrect his college career at Prairie Dog State.

"Mistake on the lake where delusions of grandeur bloom eternal." Oh that made my day...🤣 so true too... DeBoer's record speaks volumes...he is already getting more 4* than he had at Fresno St. and proved that coaching can take 3* to high levels, we saw that ourselves a few years ago, Belotti, Chip, etc. So don't take the mutts lightly, any more than a Wilcox coached Cal. And...Mari Cristbal...and staff, proves how much talent can be wasted with pathetic coaching. Hoping of course Lanning and company will combine both elements for high levels of success. I can't see our D being anything but stellar, and I have a feeling the offense will be good. Can't be any worse than that what we saw the last 2 years!
