It makes some sense as an argument but seems to assume some things we don't really have in evidence.
Oregon gets Conerly and USC fans say Oregon dropped a big bag of cash, USC gets Banuelos and Oregon fans say USC swoops in late with a big bag of cash. Pulido may be a case of doom and gloom, or maybe not.
Yup. Good example is Dye, who has family and a deep connection to SoCal. When he left many commenters assumed it was about money, yet there hasn’t been a whisper of a big NIL deal. I think he wanted to be close to home. Simple as that. When people accept jobs salary is a major factor but not the only one. Fit and culture are huge. Losing to Alabama is not the end of the world. Five years ago how often were neck and neck with Alabama (rarely if not never)?

These coaches have been great at seeing potential.

Mario the QB killer. Everyone (QB) shows more potential after leaving Mario’s Oregon.

Bruce Feldman's 2022 college football Freaks List: Michigan's Mazi Smith is No. 1
THEATHLETIC.COMOne hundred players who showcase jaw-dropping physical traits at their respective programs.Four players from Oregon made the list, topped by DJ Johnson.
4. DJ Johnson, Oregon, edge
The Miami transfer bounced around last year, playing 152 snaps on defense as an outside linebacker (11 tackles, 2 TFLs), 98 on offense as a tight end, and 18 on special teams. But don’t be shocked if he emerges as a big force on Dan Lanning’s defense. Johnson had a dominant showing in the Ducks’ spring game, making five TFLs and four sacks. Those numbers are as jaw-dropping as the results the 6-4, 275-pounder has produced in the Oregon training program, posting a blazing 22.88 mph on the GPS to go with a 455-pound bench and 655-pound sumo deadlift.
25. Christian Gonzalez, Oregon, cornerback
The younger brother of two former All-American sprinters, 6-2, 200-pound Gonzalez was a standout for Colorado in 2021, making 53 tackles, 5.5 TFLs and five pass breakups. Gonzalez wowed the Ducks’ coaches this offseason with this athleticism, hitting 23.3 mph on the GPS, vertical-jumping 42 inches and power-cleaning 325 pounds.
42. Noah Sewell, Oregon, linebacker
The 2020 Pac-12 freshman defensive player of the year followed that with another big season, finishing second in the Pac-12 with 114 total tackles, 37 more than any other Duck. Sewell, a former high school quarterback, also had 8.5 tackles for loss, four sacks, five pass breakups and two forced fumbles. The 6-2, 260-pound junior has great movement skills, topping out at 20.85 mph on the GPS. He also bench pressed 425 this offseason, did 655 pounds on the sumo deadlift and power-cleaned 345.
76. Justin Flowe, Oregon, linebacker
A huge recruit for the Ducks out of LA, Flowe dominated in high school, producing clips like Jefferson in “Fast Times at Ridgemont High.” The 6-2, 245-pound 20-year-old is super explosive. Flowe looked like a star in Oregon’s season opener last year against Fresno State, making 14 tackles and forcing a fumble to earn Pac-12 freshman of the week honors before injuring his foot. Flowe, though, has bounced back from the season-ending injury and hit 21.75 MPH. He also has deadlifted 605 pounds and power-cleaned 335.

Dan Lanning gaining favor in the ‘Land of Green’

Mario-no-O is a good person, but I was so tired of his approach to football. How he squandered Justin’s generational gifts was a coaching crime. Clearly Justin is more gifted than Marcus but Chip helped Marcus win a Heisman Trophy. I wonder too if the huge numbers of injuries were tied to his approach. There is putting in the time and there is wearing yourself down and MC was great at the latter. Glad he is gone. Hope Lanning turns out better. What drew me to Oregon was the exciting and innovative ‘O’ and that has disappeared along with a large part of Oregon’s brand and allure to fans and players.

Guardian Caps - Are the soft-shelled football helmet covers effective at limiting head injuries?
WWW.ESPN.COMWearing protective shells over helmets are becoming more popular as a means of possibly limiting head injuries in football -- but are they actually effective?

Everything I’ve read says the Big-12 is in a much weaker place than the PAC-12. Beyond SDSU no possible college really adds value. The PAC-12 leadership is waiting until they get some offers from ESPN and streaming services. They are not being passive.

Maybe from a money standpoint having USC back would be good. However, from what I’ve read USC has been working to weaken the other teams in the PAC-12 as well as the conference itself in order to improve its own position, on and off the football field. Think of all the places you’ve worked where one person was constantly undermining the team. No matter how brilliant they are, are they really worth it or would the team/company be better off without them?

I don't think this roster would have lasted under Cristobal. It will be interesting to see what happens in Miami. Not just this year but the next three. He seemed to have brought in top talent and then sucked the life out of it.
Mari-no-O. He’s a good person but stubborn and unimaginative. Too much grinding, not enough sleep, creativity, and fun.

It seems the team really had fun. That sense of fun and joy is one of the under appreciated differences between (today’s) college football and the pros.

A good article. Sadly I think NFL-lite is now inevitable. Bonus is I’ll more time for my non-football hobbies.

$$$. USC is going to have to pony up.

Oh, please, a dynamic offense and no more losing to weak teams.

Good article. The observations seem sound and not driven by spite.

First off, it’s not about being "offended" and we ALL (liberal and conservative) have topics that bother us. If that wasn't the case we wouldn’t have a ban on politics.
It’s about respecting other people as people, not as objects of contempt, scorn, (with exceptions for USC and Washington sports), or lust. I don’t have any issues of photographs of cheerleaders rooting for the Ducks, (which is the main purpose of this site) but don’t want to see salacious photos of male or female cheerleaders.

Ducks Went Down to Georgia: Looking for a Game to Steal

The reality is "we don’t know’ and predictions are based upon how pessimistic or optimistic is the poster’s personality. We have a LOT of variables and won’t know the team’s trajectory and potential until week three or four.
