Oregon State has some serious issues. Bray is making the Helfrich era look Sabanesque! 👀

Maybe Paul is going to observe Labor Day in his home with the shades drawn and the door locked and a ‘do not disturb’ sign on the door.😉

Got it-i thought that's what you meant

Loss in the opening game of 2025?

The conventional wisdom here is that this MIGHT not be true. I know everything on the internet is true but this might be one of those things that slipped under the radar.😉

Hopefully there is nothing here (divorce) but the reality is the optics are not good.

might have been a good DC but was a horrible person. He and Mario loathed each other. He was forbidden from recruiting when he was at Oregon and never actually moved to Eugene. He rented an apartment. I never was a Cristobal fan but i did agree when he told Leavitt he couldn't recruit for the simple reason it would be pretty hard to sell a kid on coming to school in Eugene when you don't even live there.

So if Oregon had a culture problem then I guess its safe to assume USC is okay with pistol whipping and evading the police. Got it now.

Dan specifically addressed the KC thing in multiple interviews. He said at one time that was his goal. Now he says it is not. He said his vision has changed. Do we believe him? I am going with yes on this one given he has been pretty honest to date.

Disliked Taggart big time, but disliked Mario even more. Mario straight up lied to Mullens and Phil when they asked him if he was talking to Miami. He bold faced denied it. Funny thing, he started talking to John Ruiz on the flight back from Columbus when Oregon beat Ohio State in Columbus. So the net is Mario was laying the ground work to go to Miami in October of that year yet when ‘asked’ about it before Oregon lost to Utah in the P12 championship, he said he had not discussed anything with Miami. That was on a Friday, on Monday he called an 8:30 am team meeting and announced he was leaving. In talking with a couple of guys who played for Mario, they said there ‘was absolutely no team culture’ and when Mario talked about the family environment, players again said it didn't exist. One of those same players said Mario never once had the team to his home. Have had a chance to meet and talk with some current players and all have said Lanning has the team to his home all the time and we know Bo was a regular at Dans house. All describe Dan as being ‘real’. Never heard that about Mario.

Someone with close ties to the Helfrich coached teams told me the players had zero respect for Helfrich and that he was totally out of touch with them. There was a lot of infighting on the team and there were a couple of situations involving racial matters. The net was Helfrich lost the locker room very early on and was never able to get it back. I personally don't have strong feeling either way about him but he was never a long term fit at Oregon.

At Autzen????

Agree but BYU offered more $$$$. Parents both attended BYU. Sister currently attends BYU. He is going to take a mission so will not be at BYU till 2028.

Never trusted Mario when he was at Oregon and I have no idea what his involvement may be here, but there is much to ponder.🤔

This serves a great opportunity to invoke the famous Mark Twain axiom, ‘better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt’.
