Of course he got a shot, he didn't give the coaches the impression we'd be winning at the level we want or he'd have played and Gabriel wouldn't be coming in. Nix did give the coaches something to be excited about and had 2 coordinators here in 2 years and developed into a Heismann finalist. We have an OC and QB coach that looks like he'll be fine at developing a good QB. 5 stars mean nothing, a QB has to develop too regardless of the coach. I wish him well but the coaches know what they are doing.

No issue with a woman head coach, but yeah...Bring Campbell back, with our NIL etc., has to be better than TCU.

His first group was more special and talented than we may realize, Sab is arguably the best player ever. To follow that group up with a #1 class with 5 players rated 5*, with none coming close to the billing...it's like Ty Thompson and other 5*, they don't always pan out, but that was just weird. Like Altman and MBB, the portal has been important...too important? In the last 3-4 years, neither MBB or WBB has been the same. Both coaches have a huge track record of success. Do they need a new spark, or is it time for a fresh start? I think MBB, if Shelstad, Evans, a couple others will stay for 3 years, it could be special. Interesting the bigs are out and we're back to Altman's small-ball tradition...seems the last few games they've looked way better. As for WBB, I don't know how to X&O what's going on there. 6'8" Center had a career night against a weak opponent.

I had high hopes for TT too but 5 stars don't always mean anything, I wish him well at his next stop but neither Mari nor 2 years of Lanning, and 3 different OC's...got him to where the coaches thought he was a starter to lead us at the level we're at (championship contender). He looked way better this year in garbage time, but Dillon Gabriel not only gives us solid footing to be at the level we were at this year, but the portal talent he'll "bring" with him will take us even further. Add to that, 3rd year of Lanning recruiting and seeing flashes of some of that as freshmen this season, with another year to develop...whole team will be better. Let's get a kicker, a corner, and that aTm defensive tackle...look out B1G

I wish him well and future success. 5 stars don't earn playing time, Coaches know best. Hope he develops at the next stop and plays well

Oh you mean season tickets for football next year? Hmmm, one game vs Liberty, or 6-7 games vs tOSU, B1G, etc. Revenge on BSU finally...

Fiesta Bowl. Baseball is boring.

Gabriel yes, Moore, no. Build TT, Novosad, the incoming kid

It's all players who got buried on the roster this year, wish them well

Shows something about character and being a team player to me...Bo is a go, Williams a no

He didn't earn the playing time this year to do it, but won't miss the 15 yd penalties for unsportsmanlike conduct

Does the committee pick bowls? Don't the bowls get the picks based on conference deals, and there is an order and contingencies, and it's market and TV driven? A G5 school gets in, someone has to take them. The Orange bowl probably got the higher pick

I hope everybody eligible is there and plays, And we win big. It's a game, you are part of the team, go out on a big high note

The "Red Zone Problem" article stood out. In tight, inside the 5-10 yard range...predictable plays we smashed weaker teams with, but got stood up against better defenses all year. Stein needs to get more creative there. I saw UW do it to us, I see other games where they do it, some one leaks out to the edge, easy score. Not us.

Yeah, lost my interest in today's games too. Now I hope Bama wins, Texas wins, chaos ensues Go Ducks! VB in the sweet 16. Fiesta bowl and 12 wins? Playoff next year?

Weird...feels like someone paid us off to throw the game. Missed tackles, receivers open constantly, running it down our throats. Our #1 O-line getting dominated. Guess Daniel's will win the Heismann

Or, DeBoer is Lannings kryptonite. How did this team barely beat the beevrats?

Selling out to stop the home run? Can't stop short passes, and worse, Can't stop the run? I thought this UW O-line wasn't that great? They went 12-0 I guess

All I know is this will be the last hurrah for the Crap 12 refs...I expect nothing less than one of the worst performances ever, hopefully it doesn't derail the game for us

Like DJU, I'd pass. We can get, or already have, better

Ducks win 46-17 3 take away 5 sacks 418 passing yards

DJU to Eugene? No thank you. Physical talent yes, but hasn't lived up to the 5* billing yet, like TT. I'd rather have TT, I think it is coming together for him. Need someone with the decision making ability, DJU isn't it

Gotta perform, hype doesn't get you on the field.

Rotate a B1G (West Coast Teams) game in October there (not too hot) or September...evening game (5pm kickoff, not stupid late). So the 4 west coast schools would only do it every 4th year
