TheRunningDuck

I just looked through the available roster and though the Ducks will be thin there is talent playing everywhere and most got a bit of playing time . What I consider the most critical unit in football, the O line is strong.

No one with that history should be a Duck coach.

I hope this headline is wrong. It would be great if the Washington program has not yet bottomed out.

I have seen no evidence that convinces me. Lots of accusations about rules that were at best gray areas.

Bittle played great but sometimes I don't get Dana's roster decisions. Isaac Johnson had a great game earlier and has hardly seen the floor since. This has happened to players in previous years.

So right about the problems at USC. I was surprised to find out Rich Brooks was 35 when hired. He always seemed old and dour.

It mystifies me that people think he has valid views on our QBs not having worked with them at all.

I have always thought it looks like someone threw up.

That is no way to start. Bring in a guy that will be perceived as favored.

Did everyone get a horrible video feed? Also, having to switch to an alternate channel is getting very annoying. For one thing it makes recording impossible.

Going to the worst team in the Pac 12? Sometimes it seems these kids can be sold anything.

I did not get the same impression as you. I thought he clearly indicated he wanted excitement. Explosion plays. Mario was at his most irritating when he seemed to refuse to change an in-game strategy that was not working. Hopefully Lanning would try the QBs that could throw downfield when the running game is shut down.

Dana is one of the best late game managers in college basketball.

I would not be so sure on the public relations front. Though it might not mesh with the Eugene vibe an obvious effort was made to present the family dressed up and respectful. Projecting enthusiasm and passion Lanning came off well. It is hoped and expected there will be no more clock management problems. All the portal transfers will give him an opportunity to shine even though he has very few days to solidify the recruiting class. I am hopeful that he realizes it is also about entertaining the fans along with winning. Sometimes I felt Mario was trying to win by boring the other team to death.

I am tired of the retread coach carousel. An enthusiastic energetic guy seems great. It always boils down to the gift for organizing and delegating.

I wonder if Mario was there when they were luring recruits with sexual favors?

Every program with a coaching change will have de commitments so there will be lots to try to pick up. Several of Oregon's are defensive and may just flip back if they are still desired and the Georgia DC is hired.

As the weather in Oregon approaches it's worst of the year Miami enters it's best. I would hate to be there in the summer.

I wonder how he will deal with corrupt Miami boosters giving everything from cash to hookers to his recruits and players.

The Alamo Bowl will be much like the Pac 1 CG in that Oregon's opponent will be within driving distance and have 80% of the crowd.

Las Vegas is at 2,000 feet. Much better.

And the fact that the Ducks beat them will be spouted endlessly.

MC seems to be a poor game manager. When you are so far behind that the running game can't possibly catch up you need to go with the best downfield passer. There was also no excuse for poor clock management at the end of the first half.

I hope this does not mean his girlfriend Maddie, a starter on the BB teams follows. If he was unhappy he was probably not helping moral in the locker room .

Both the men's and women's programs have looked rock solid so far. No early season doubts and both look confident and competent throughout.
