The SEC should have been screaming for 16 teams Probably cost them 4 to 5 playoff spots in the last 2 years. I love what the BIG is doing. Make sure you get to 24, so teams like USC, Iowa, and Illinois don’t get left out due to SEC bias.

The crazy thing about this, is that you could have said this exact same thing about Bo Nix when he was at Auburn. I remember the comments on this board when we first grabbed Nix in the portal. There were not a lot of people onboard, including myself. I’m not saying it will work out. It may not. However, I am confident that Lanning will have more than 1 solution at the QB position.

This team is currently 315th in FG% and 275th in scoring offense. Just wow. For reference, 91-92 was 238th in scoring offense.

Thanks Mr. Marsh! That was a good read. Oregon had two of those in that game, because Cliff Harris intercepted that ball clean and in bounds.

91-92 was my freshman year at Oregon. It was rough. Lyden was hurt and only played a few games. Orlando and Antoine were basically the only two guys that could score on that team. IIRC, there were several games where they had less than 20 before half. This team might be worse right now, with Bittle, Shelstad, and Simpkins out. It’s too bad that nobody has really been able to step up and score consistently.

That first half looked like 1992. Yikes.

I looked it up. 2008 is the last time Oregon had a losing record. Attendance has been dropping steadily. No butts in seats is bad.

Holy cow. Is this real? Is Oregon hoops at their lowest point in 20 years?

Made me think of the Bad News Bears!. 😂

Why not both? Michigan is able to invest and have success in both programs. They are spending 8-9M in hoops and are still competitive in getting football talent.

Let’s go Hoosiers!!

Things keep getting worse. Bittle in a boot and rolling one of those scooters now.

What is the point? Just give everyone 5 years and eliminate redshirts, except for medical.

IMO, hoops will not be competitive going forward until Oregon decides it is worth investing in it. When your alleged NIL budget is 1/4 of the conference contenders, it is going to be very difficult to assemble a roster to compete. Michigan invested more than $8M this season. If the reports I have seen are true, Oregon is not even at 1/3 of that. The end result is that you are forced to use most of your NIL budget on roster retention (Bittle, Shelstad, and Evans) and then gamble on a bunch of G5 players to make the jump or Power 4 players that are riding the bench at other schools and pray that something clicks. IMO, You could have Phil Jackson coaching and it won’t matter. Expect the slide to continue and to see more of this until Oregon throws some money at it.

If Mendoza plays like he did the last two games, Miami has no chance IMO.

Sometimes it’s easy to forget that he has only started 20 games in college. He has all the talent in the world, but just needs to get a little better at seeing the field at times. He will get there with more experience, just like Bo or Mendoza did. If his goal is to play football in the NFL for a longtime, he should stay one more year.

I’m okay. I have seen a lot of bad Oregon football in my 52 years. This is still a good team. They just made a lot of mistakes in a game where you needed to be close to perfect to win. Indiana plays so clean and disciplined. Mendoza was almost perfect. Hats off to them and I hope they beat the brakes off of Miami. We will get them next year.

I am nervous. Im not gonna lie. I had to pour a brown water before starting this one.

Looks like Whitt is on the field warming up. Maybe that is good news.

Unbelievable. I am convinced we are cursed.

There’s the Mario I know. Third and long, run it into the line for minimal gain and punt into the end zone for a touchback.

Ouch. Losing Davison is massive in this game. He had good success running between the tackles in the first game. What a bummer!

The biggest reason for him to stay is to not end up with the Raiders or the Jets.

Georgia is going smash Ole Miss today
