LOL. Sounds like watch a soccer match (aka football). If college football wants to bring in fans from other nations, they should have sent better or more entertaining teams…

Not to mention the 11+ hour flight from Delaware to Hawaii! It’s far from the west coast, although I’d much prefer Hawaii to Ireland…

I am rooting for Utah. How funny would it be if Oregon and Utah won their new conference championships?! Not bad from that soft, second tier conference out West.

Season ticket holders are usually given the option to purchase tickets for their seats in the playoffs. I remember the Seattle Mariners offering all rounds of the playoffs including the World Series. Maybe that jinxed them…

Many people are picking Boise State as an at large selection in the college football playoff this year. Oregon better be ready!

Nick Saban picked Georgia to beat Oregon in the national championship game on ESPN College Gameday.

LOL. Couldn't have happened to a nicer bunch...Florida State are some of the most arrogant fans in college football. Now I'll be cheering for Miami to lose their opener.

Oregon is also pursuing a Michigan TE commit. Four-star Michigan football tight end commit Andrew Olesh offered by Oregon WWW.SI.COM In the world of recruiting, nothing is final until a prospect puts pen to...

LOL. Someone should give him box seats right behind the USC bench. It’ll be great to see him chewing his gum and reacting on TV…

So happy for Bo! As John Elway said there is a big jump from pre-season to the regular season and all young quarterbacks go through their ups and downs (even John Elway and Peyton Manning). Sean Peyton is a great quarterback coach so it'll be fun to watch. I'm sure that Bo will get a warm reception in Seattle for his first NFL regular season start.

So, what you’re saying is, it’s been a little while?

I love it. When was the last time Oregon had a football game on NBC?

Would be very uncomfortable, if I were Lincoln Riley…

Bill Belichick: Rookie Bo Nix And Denver Coach Sean Payton Look Like Perfect Fit WWW.SI.COM Former Oregon Duck quarterback Bo Nix is off to a hot start to his NFL rookie campaign. In his first... “Nix is catching the attention of legendary NFL coach Bill Belichick, who says Nix and Denver Broncos coach Sean Payton are a perfect fit.” “Sean's offense is a very fast offense," Belichick said. "They don't go no huddle, but they substitute fast. They call the play. They get up the line of scrimmage. And once the snap everything's moving fast as fast as anybody in the league so there's a lot of mental processing and decision making that has to take place in a hurry." Though Coach Belichick cautioned that NFL teams run very vanilla defense in the pre-season.

I read an article that Marcus has looked better than expected and may be named the starter for week 1. He’ll have to play really good to keep the job though.

Do Husky fans fall under “irritants” and will they be banned from B1G games?* * Asking for a “friend”

Although it’s only preseason (and the Packers didn’t play their starters), Bo Nix has looked very comfortable in his two pre-season games and is likely to be named the starting QB for the Denver Broncos. He is gong through his progressions and looking the safety off, like a veteran QB. Hopefully the young QBs take note that it pays to be patient and get the experience in college playing the position. Bo finished the night 8-9 for 80 yards and a TD (note: he had another passing TD called back). What if Nix has the most successful NFL career of all of the QBs drafted last year? It’s certainly possible with his skill set and playing for Coach Sean Peyton. Broncos rookie QB Bo Nix has fantastic performance as he gets closer to starting job WWW.YAHOO.COM The Broncos had to be thrilled with what they saw from Bo Nix.

Wish Oregon would just stick with yellow, except for blackouts at big night games. Make it simple for fans.

I’ve always looked at the average star rating, as that is more important than the total (quality over quantity). It’s also important not to fill all the spots with high school recruits to leave some room for high-impact transfers, in positions of need.

Wow, that article makes Dan Lanning sound like the perfect head football coach that would come out of the lab. He couldn’t have paid someone to write up a better article. If I were Dan Lanning, I would print a copy and frame it in my office and send it to all the potential recruits. All kidding aside, we all know that we need to see better game planning, execution and decisions in the “big games”. The article highlights that Coach Lanning is ultra competitive and learns quickly, so we can only hope that he can turn into one of the top in game managers in college football and win a national championship (or multiple).

Dillon Gabriel is listed as 5’11”. Not sure if it’s accurate but that would put him at the same height as Russell Wilson and Kurt Warner.

With the expanded playoff, if you go 10-2 you should make the playoff in the B1G or SEC. (Note: I would predict a 11-1 or 10-2 record for Oregon with a loss to Ohio State and/or one of the road games - Michigan or Wisconsin- late in the season). Which brings up the question - would you rather play in the conference championship game (with the possibility to host a home playoff game) or sit at 10-2, missing the conference championship game, but have an extra bye week heading into the playoffs?

I believe that that was undefeated in the regular season. He liked Oregon’s advantage at QB and that the game is at home.

Love the countdown!
