I thought there was a game against USC that drew standing room only back when Chip was coach? I think it was 60,300 plus?
59,933, per goducks.com.
But remember, we don't talk about Maldonado, no, no.

Just when you thought slideshow writers might be running short on ideas.

He runs a 10.15 100m and apparently his nickname is the Burley Blur, which is pretty great. I also kinda like the Stormin' Mormon.

Just don't want to find out years from now that it was done, via SEC style, through shady backdoor deals or practices.
Honest question: does any recruiting qualify as shady anymore, and if so, what form does it take? Now that donors can pay players, about the only restriction I'm aware of is that schools can't pay players directly. But for any school with deep-pocketed donors, why would it bother?

Might be time for a gofundme to buy our friendly northern neighbors some of these before spring practices.

Fail (and as painfully as possible): UW and USC.
Succeed: Arizona, with a rosterful of players Fisch couldn't lure to Seattle.

She says he "only averaged 48.4 yards" per punt. Uhhh, Sam, there is only one other punter in college football that averaged more yards per punt.
At the NFL level, only 11 out of 33 qualified punters averaged more than 48.4 yards per punt. James outkicked two-thirds of the pros.
This is some deeply misguided criticism.

The only guy in football that's ever been able to keep Justin Herbert in check!

There’s a chance the Ducks could continue adding top talent as well, with rumors swirling on Saturday that Lanning could be after former Washington Huskies’ CB Jabbar Muhammad as well.
247 rates Muhammad as a 4* and the 20th ranked portal player. If he commits to Oregon, he'd be Lanning's fourth top-20 transfer (Stewart #3, Moore #6, & Caldwell #19).

Just when it seemed this week couldn't get any better for Oregon fans.

As awkward as it feels agreeing with Husky fans, at least a couple of them are talking some sense.

He is negotiating now. It's getting real. Might be official before the snowmageddon hits NW Oregon...
Might be official before lunch time.

The most active current thread on Canes Insight is titled "It takes more than just fancy recruiting."
It's gold, Jerry! Gold!

Mario doing his usual thing. Bad game management, horrible play calling and the Canes getting multiple unsportsmanlike conduct penalties.
Many think of Kenny Wheaton's play as one of the greatest days in Oregon football history and rightly so. December 6th 2021, (the day of Mario's resignation) is right up there in my book.
The date Miami's $9M buyout check cleared was pretty great as well.

Love it! Now steal Gatlin Bair away from his heavy Michigan lean to pull off the WR flip trifecta!
It's never too early to infuriate current and future conference rivals.

For those without access, here are a couple more that relate to UO and Lanning's culture:
Quote“That program was always about being physical,” one Pac-12 assistant said. “That’s something they have thrived on, but they just didn’t show it anymore. If they came downhill at us, we wouldn’t have been able to hold up. Oregon would knock you around. That’s what they want to do. USC didn’t even try to.”
...
All of that highlights the questions that coaches and staffers along the West Coast have about building a strong culture at USC.
“I don’t know if the priorities of everyone in that building, especially in the locker room, will ever match up to what it was like under Pete back in the early 2000s,” one Pac-12 staffer said. “There’s just so much going on with NIL, all the distractions in L.A. Like, I don’t know if everyone in that building will all have football as priority No. 1. Whereas at Oregon, there’s nothing else to do out there … besides play football and win. They have everyone on the same page.”
Play football and win!

Fun read in the Athletic today about USC's cataclysmic season (What went wrong for Lincoln Riley and USC in 2023? ‘Something’s really off there’).
Numerous Pac-12 coaches anonymously shred Riley's defense in what should be required reading for any defensive recruits considering that clown show. Some highlights:
Quote“It was like a bunch of mercenaries, just trying to get their own stats,” a Pac-12 head coach said. “They were all over the place. You’d toss it outside, and you’d see their guys going all over the place, so undisciplined. It was unbelievable. You had no idea what they were trying to get done.”
...
The coaching staff either didn’t evaluate properly or mismanaged the talent. Pick your poison.
...
“I’d gone up against Grinch before. It was aggressive, but it was sound,” one Pac-12 offensive coordinator said. “This wasn’t that. This was one of the worst defenses we’ve faced.”
