Having the winter Olympics in a place with little snow is just plain stupid. Shiffrin wasn't the only DNF in the slalom...there were about 35. Artificial ice sucks

Yes

Fantastic Powder and Rock Climbing. 5 cool national parks. I-15. It's 3x bigger than I-5, right?

WBB: We've discussed in another forum, was KG looking better with Sabrina/Ruthie/Satou than his X-O or motivational skills? I don't know if people understand just how amazing those players were, Sabrina especially...generational talent. Now, five 5* players, Dugalic transferred already (played little), TeHina is good when she is good but streaky, Maddie and Sydney start but have been completely unproductive, check the box scores. Rogers and Sabally have carried the team, but as someone else mentioned, same with MBB, so many missed layups and 2 foot shots, so many fumbles in the paint, so many turnovers. WIth WBB, it's not just the bigs. Sedona, BTW, has played limited minutes for a month and little production, missing the 12 to 16 footers she used to hit. Yesterday she had a good first half. Are all these 5 stars mostly over-rated? I forgot Kylie Watson, she has played sparingly. Or is KG not as a good of a coach without a couple generational players? Or does this team just fail to execute, like late in the game yesterday, not boxing out on the free throw miss? Oh, and the free throw shooting, both Men's and Women's. Don't understand the men's collapse against Utah, or Colorado when we lost at home. I get the injuries for the women and hectic travel schedule, but something else doesn't add up.

Yes!!! Good Choice!

The RB flip from Georgia looks like he can do that...and strong between the tackles too...very much reminds me of another Oregon great RB also named James

A good win, they'd let asu back in, then go on another run. Better ball movement, seems to be coming together. Turnovers still annoy me, hopefully that cleans up, starting with the AZ game. I hope we go down there and punish the cats

Didn't live up to the recruiting promises....

It's possible we hit top 25, but that stuff isn't as important as developing all the stars we have, who chose to stay, and the '22s coming in. Some decent transfers bring in good, experienced D1 players, adds depth. They don't count in the rankings, but I see now someone is ranking the portal, no surprise. Somebody will take the 247 Composite and merge it with the Portal rankings, and you get some dumb number...that doesn't really matter. Next years class could be top 5 with this staff! Still...it's all about coaching them up, MC and company proved that, huh?

I was very annoyed on numerous occasions last fall as we got dumb 15 yard penalties, and I fully believe that was on MC as the head coach, the culture he created, and the assistants to some degree. I saw a lot of Duck showboating and trash talking after plays where it clearly wasn't earned, just like the one you mention where he got burned, and the D got lucky. That Rams-Niners game, seemed like there were no holding or false start penalties. MC made an emphasis on penalties his first couple seasons in Eugene, and we were one of the worst in FBS. He did improve it a lot, but the last two seasons...seems like the penalty numbers went way up again. That's coaching and discipline. Looking forward to what Lanning brings! The "de-recruitment process"...perfect! Especially with all this NIL garbage, may be even harder to get the entitlement attitudes out of some kids.

Nobody on this forum is on the team...I'm talking about us!

Must be a slow Saturday, why didn't you guys ski? I don't think MC will ever win the ACC, he may recruit enough to win the division (if they can beat Pitt) but he can't even get a DC or an OC. I see some 7-5 on the Miami horizon, 7-6 after they lose their bowls to Middle Tennessee State or Western Michigan or some team like that

He seems more like the speed rush DE/OLB as opposed to the more traditional bigger 4-3 DE, with KT gone, he might make a good complement to Swinson...could be a valuable add, hopefully he would really thrive in our system

They develop more academically prowessessnesserer

Maybe he'll at least get to play in a couple of 5-7 seasons down there

As someone stated above, I bet we add on more RB thru the portal. If we don't smash it up the middle every time (new OC I suspect will be way more creative than Cristobol) then Seven McGee...using the speed to find the holes on the edges would be a great compliment to Cardwell, who will probably thrive in a new system as well.

Money has definitely ruined college football. A lot of things were definitely better the way they "used to be" (though not all, as you aptly point out). The biggest problem with the SEC having their own "championship" is they will always claim to be the true national champions. The run for the roses winner will at best be a "split" champion. There is a school up north that thinks they have been a champion once long ago based on that. The "alliance" schools, and their players and fan bases, will want a shot at an undisputed natty, I know I do as a Duck fan. If the RFTR winner plays the SEC winner on January 10th, that's better. Or, just expand the playoff, what everyone wants now. There will be years where an Oregon, Baylor or Wisconsin will pull off the upset and be the undisputed champ. Still leaves a lot of issues due to NIL and bad TV deals, but going back to Michigan winning the AP when Nebraska would have beaten them by 28 in 1997...I don't like that either.

LMJ was a Texas 3 star, Kenjon Barner was a SoCal 3 star DB

With the Men's win over OSU, that's 5 victories over 5 teams that were in last year's elite 8s

Bad publicity for KT and for the University of Oregon. I hope Lanning brings to the team the concepts of respect and integrity. Not sure Cristo-slow-ball brought much of that. Maybe we'll see fewer dumb 15 yd penalties next season too!

Hey a 6-6 season under the palms sounds nice?

Yeah...but they didn't join the Pac until 2011, in spite of USuC having those big years under Pete Carroll, those slipped away quickly like grasping oil in one's hand. The oil of cheaters. Utah was beating Alabama in the Sugar Bowl and dominating the MWC or the Wack or wherever they came from, first with Urban Meyer

USuC, Tex-ass, (and their gazillion dollar personal network) all get F's. Along with the perpil pooch mutts. All brings a smile to my face. (Those who know me know I can't spell purple properly in connection with the dog mutts up north, I would never shame it in that way)

Chip was good from '07 to '12, and at New Hampshire. Doubt he goes back to 1AA or some division 5 school. I think he gets more money in the booth broadcasting.

Georgia revenge 21-20. AL 113 yds rushing AL 266 yds passing GA gets 2 take-aways (and no give aways) GA gets 3 sacks
