Yeah, we're fine at that position, really overall that game was about as good as it could have possibly got, tons of players getting time, executed in all phases of the game.

Georgia Tech, it's coach, and the QB King are one of my favorite teams to watch, such a tough QB and seems like a such of a workmanlike program.

We take care of business and we'll be fine. If we end up with two losses, with our schedule I can totally understand the argument we have no business in the playoff. We really won't have any excuses. Just let the season play out.

Honestly...just a boring game in general, I'm not really surprised, both defenses are obviously very good, but the offensives just seem uninspired and flat. Probably what should be expected considering the QB situation for both teams.

No, can't say I have, maybe I shouldn't knock it until I've tried it. In terms of culture I guess they have good steaks at least.

Not surprised to see BSU lose, but to get stomped by South Florida, that is a surprise. Looked like a team that was just not prepared to start the season.

It's a really tough place to recruit to in today's world. Oregon at least has natural beauty in addition to the world class facilities and the connection to Nike. Weather sucks, nightlife sucks, completely different culture compared to where most of the 4 and 5 star recruits are from, I think Rhule is at least a decent coach, but ultimately it's more about the Jimmies and the Joes than it is about coaching. I think the best that Nebraska can get to in today's world is an Ole Miss or Indiana type program. Being around the outskirts of the playoff, making it in every 4-5 years. I do not think they are ever getting back to a consistent top-10 type program.

Kind of amazing to see how that program has fallen on hard times, you would have thought with Boone Pickens they would have been pretty well set up for the new world of NIL. Seems like the game might be passing Gundy by.

It's going to be nice to see a bit of equity here. The number of times a SEC team has been a 10 win team when they really would have most likely been a 9 win team is ridiculous, Ole Miss I'm looking at you!

You went to the wrong sport for NC State and UNC!

I do think this is a good idea, I think for myself, I sometimes do need to vent a little, I would like to think I've always reserved my frustrations for the coaches and not the players. The only time I would say a little criticism is appropriate of players is when they do something like Holden did last year, something that is selfish. Even then, you have to remember that they probably regret their actions and would take them back if they could, usually. I would say there are times I do erase something before I hit submit since I can usually catch myself before I say something that probably is not needed or constructive. With all that said, I can't wait to Jerk about the defense after they give up 3 straight first downs! 😂 Before anybody says anything, that is a joke.

Gosh dang it!!! NOW you tell us!!!! My family got You Tube TV to avoid this BS. Now they are all of a sudden putting this out there, I don't care about your 10 dollar credit, I care about watching the games. Usually you're given a month or more warning about things like this, but to spring it a week before the season starts is atrocious. It doesn't give any time to for me to put pressure on Google or Fox to make my displeasure known or to really make a change.

Yep, we made this choice, there is absolutely no way we should utter a single word about this, maybe in the future it might be a little more even, but this is our reality for the foreseeable future. I don't think it really has that big of an effect on Football, but the effect on the other sports is rough. Football goes out on Friday comeback the next day, I'll take that over going on a road trip where you're gone for 4-6 days. I think it's already cost a top ten coach in Ullmar from Volleyball. I can see it costing us other coaches in the future in some of the lower revenue sports. It will be especially true for those that don't have strong ties to the west coast.

I don't blame them, we have the most question marks out of all of those teams, we have a lot of talent, but I think this is a prove it year for Lanning, he doesn't have a QB who is going to become the most experienced in college football history. It isn't a slight against Oregon, it's just that we have a lot of questions marks on a team that was last seen getting boat raced by tOSU.

Incredibly stupid, let's just go ahead and have 64 teams while we're at it. It works for Basketball! Oh wait! they want to ruin that tournament as well!

I get what you're saying Jon, I really do, but this should still be a blowout. I don't think we'll suffer the same sort of problems on the offensive line, namely we won't have a walk on playing center of all positions. If we come out flat and have a difficult time, that's completely on the coaches not having the players ready for the season. I would not be surprised to see a one possession lead at the halftime, but I'll be very disappointed if this isn't at least a 3 touchdown win.

I think Raleigh would be attractive if Charlotte didn't already have a franchise. One of the things that will be of interest to Dundon and others is partially the Moda Center getting upgrades, but also and perhaps even more important creating entertainment district around the Moda Center. This is where it would be more attractive to the City to invest in. There is already pretty good public transit there, but there really isn't anything to do. I would think any upgrades to arena will also be a part of a wider project to reinvigorate the area.

I would say if you ask NBA fans if the Sonics should come back you would have overwhelming support from the common fan, will they not watch the NBA if they don't? No, but I doubt that would be the case for any franchise. NBA does have a black eye, and I'm pretty sure you'll see Seattle awarded a team in the next 5-10 years. The circumstances with Bennett are completely difference compared to this.

Doubt it, minority owners have ties to Portland, Dundon is based in Dallas so it isn't like he's bringing a team to his hometown. Raleigh is still smaller than Portland, Charlotte a city that is bigger and also growing has a team that is struggling for attendance, and in the past has lost their team in the past. Jordan would be PISSED if the NBA approved a move to Raleigh. I'm not saying there isn't a chance that the Trail Blazers move, but the move is they will make is to Vegas, if anywhere. It would be a huge black eye on the league if they did to Portland what they did to Seattle. When Dundon bought the Hurricanes people were very worried that he move the team then, he didn't so there is a little precedent there.

Both are at where I think they should be. Penn St. has more proven talent, better DC, and of course it's in Happy Valley. USC has to prove it this season to get any respect, bettors have wisened up, I don't think there is a lot of confidence that they'll rebound much. Maieva might prove to be more of a gamer and winner, we'll see I guess.

Willie Taggart is going to be a coach who in 25 years people (especially those who aren't Duck fans) will look back and ask "Who?" He's now a nobody, nobody really cares about him. Around in Eugene, he'll mostly be known for leaving, stupid catch phrases, and possibly transitioning the program to a nationwide approach with recruiting. He wasn't a bad coach, I could see how he might have had some success if he had decided to stay, but he was a con-man who was always going to go to the first big school that would allow him to get back to the South. I think in general Christobal will be looked back more fondly simply because he did have success, his success was stunted due to his own inability to get past certain barriers that he put up for himself, but I do think he's in general not a bad CEO, problem is that he thinks he's more than a CEO and that means he meddles in things he doesn't really have the expertise to have success in, namely operating an offense.

Okay......Julian Sayin at #2 is just freakin ridiculous, he hasn't played a down, he isn't some sort of all world prospect like Lawrence was, that is just flat out wrong. Mendonza at 2 is fine, I really really like him, he's consistent, he's tough, and he's proven. Altmyer and Williams are a little high, I think Raiola is actually underrated. Moore should be like 7 or so, Maiava is should not be ahead of him, Underwood is also too high, Moore should be ahead of him. Iamaleava is a the one where I just have no idea, I think he's talented, but he didn't put up great numbers, he did his part. Williams is too high, though I like him, but he needs to actually win at some point.

Yeah, the James Franklin part of the equation is a major one, he isn't a good big game coach, Allar I think will play better, and he'll have some actual receivers this year. Both RBs are big time runners, Knowles knows our offense and will have a good game plan to stop us, they lose Carter, but that defense has traditionally held up really well when playing at home. The game does come at a good time for us, we'll have some good warm up games, PSU plays nobody with a pulse until us. I think my main concerns are with the interior D-line. Penn St. ran right threw us for most of the game, if they had just gotten a couple stops against us they win last year, our defense just does not shut other good teams down, we always seem to give up 24+, so our offense has to keep up, Tosh is just not a good strategist. I see an offense that will get better in PSU and a defense that will not be as strong in Oregon, that's not a good combo. Hope to be wrong! We'll be a good team, but I think we take a step back this year (which is fine! very difficult to maintain the standard we saw last year!)

Honestly would have us more as a touchdown underdog. Unproven at QB, new O-line, receivers are unproven, interior D-line is a major question, defense as a whole has not proven itself that it can shut down elite teams. I think we lose by 10, Tosh isn't up to the task, and we play very conservatively on offense until it's too late. After that it's a toss up if we go undefeated in the other games.

I'm going to trust you and some others I've seen pushing this, it is a bit nerve racking to see so many recruits going to other programs though. I know I need to trust Lanning and others on this since they haven't really steered the program wrong so far.
