I know Mark Helfrich is a good guy but man is he tough to listen to as a color commentator!!  I saw the Ducks vs. Them video from the Michigan game today!  Man was that inspiring!  I had no idea why the time out was called at the end of the game and the thumbs down thing.  As I was watching, I was thinking, man that thumbs down thing is probably not so wise!  Only to find out it was motivation from Gladiator...Brilliant!!

 

I just don't see Mark having the vision to do things like this!!  I feel like I have to turn the TV up just to hear his commentary!  Obviously we all know that DL is the real deal and plans on being in Eugene for a long time!  I have no inside info on Marks pre game speeches but if they are like his commentary, I'd probably take a nap!!  DL obviously knows how to motivate and keep his players focused on the big picture as well as teaching them the value of being respectful young men.  The players obviously appreciate his and his staffs leadership as well!!

I remember players quoted in the MH years saying football wasn’t fun anymore.

 

I can’t imagine any of DL’s players saying that.

I don't know of anyone with this kind of vision.  All I could think was: Lanning is a genius.  He's just way out ahead of the pack.

It’s always more fun……when you win.
