Fathertime

Senator Bultarsky was one of a kind.

I remember being a junior on campus when I had the honor of listening to one of the greatest pep talks, from one of Oregon's great Senators. While I was not sure that we could overtake mighty Georgia, I harkened back to his words and now I believe. I remind you all of his words: "What? Over? Did you say 'over?' Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!.. It ain't over now, 'cause when the goin gets tough, the tough get goin'." I believe we are tough. 28 - 24 Ducks.

I guess I'm still worried about Lanning. Why would a 36 year old continue to coach a team that plays in the "Hooterville" conference if some sort of change isn't made? I believe that he IS what we have been looking for and am making the 1,000 mile round trip from Sacramento three times this year, plus seeing Oregon at CAL. How do we keep him, and the recruits? We are starting to see the fall out now.

First time poster. Thank you all for letting me in. First, Don Reed is my favorite football coach is Duck history. JK. That 1976 game against USC at Autzen is still burnt into my brain. It's still not the cheerleaders fault. Anyway, I like Kamikaze Kid's idea of a PAC-16; however, I think the focus it too much on football. A viable PAC-16 must have balance between basketball and football and needs to add Oklahoma State, San Diego State, Boise State, Fresno State, Gonzaga, and St. Mary's to balance between the two sports. Television will be looking for a total package, football and basketball. To me, a package like this secures the West Coast in both, and makes the PAC-16 has a whole a very viable conference The PAC-10 needs to look at a bigger picture than just football.
