FishDuck Article Administrator No. 1 Share Posted March 31, 2022 I’m the guy who, upon learning that Texas A&M was paying offensive lineman $50,000 each for NIL said: “That’s it, I’m through with college football.” You see, I don’t watch much NFL, (Justin Herbert excepted), because I think many of the players are not in great physical condition and that they take plays off.

Charles Fischer Administrator No. 2 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Mike, I think you state well the excitement that many of us are feeling, although seeing so many great quotes does get the juices going further. Thanks for the guest article! 1 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haywarduck Moderator No. 3 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Agree with Mr. Whitty and Charles, we can all get off our porches and enjoy Oregon Football for a few more years. We can pine for the past and lament about the future, but as the spring game nears it is time to renew our excitement about the now! We still have talent on the field such as Noah on defense and Ryan Walk on offense who deserve our respect and admiration. There are also many more on the roster working towards our esteem. With a new coaching staff, and solid support from the alumni there is great hope amongst this group of young men, and they deserve our attention. While we may still want to threaten some programs with a boycott of that attention, the Oregon Football Program deserves our approbation and appreciation. Well written and thought out post, thanks!

Jon Joseph No. 8 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Thanks Mike. 1 minor correction, Texas is paying each OL guy $50K a season; this would likely represent a pay cut for A+M OL guys? I too was turned off in regards to NIL being used to induce recruits and transfers to attend a given school. But this is the CFB world in which we live today. So, while not grinning, I am going to do my best to bear it. Lots of excitement surrounding the new coaching staff, no doubt. I have high hopes for Dan et al, but I do want to see the hyperbole show up on the field of play. In response to the comments regarding Larry's Loser Network, something has to be done ASAP to make the network financially viable or to make it go away via filing BK. The Network is a functionally insolvent albatross that has helped to drag the conference down from the day it opened for business. With the conference deciding to remain 'as-is,' I see no way in which to grow subscriptions to the network and turn it into the black. But that's GK's and not my job. So, spot on Mike, rather than acting annoyed, let's enjoy. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
