Dan Lanning Speaks Candidly On Oregon's New CoordinatorsOregon Ducks coach Dan Lanning took to the podium on Wednesday for Big Ten Media Days in Chicago. “In our four years here, we've had three guys go on to become Power Four head coaches, and we're certainly excited for Coach (Will) Stein and Coach (Tosh) Lupoi and their new opportunities, but that creates a new opportunity for guys in our building, and Chris Hampton and Drew Mehringer." "Both these guys are all-stars in the profession. They both do an unbelievable job developing players. They understand skiing, and they've created, you know, some great memories in their position rooms, and they've done an unbelievable job hitting the ground running this offseason. Having guys in your program that understand your culture, what you want to create. Those guys have been home runs so far, and I'm really excited to see what they'll accomplish this year.” Oregon Ducks On SIDan Lanning Speaks Candidly On Oregon's New CoordinatorsOregon coach Dan Lanning took the stage on the second day of Big Ten Media Days in Chicago.

SPOT ON! On3's playoff projections are out. The SEC again puts five teams into the PO. 🤮 This with nine conference games? For this to happen, many of those deep SEC opponents have to drink milk through a nipple, right? No. 9 seed (!) Oregon loses to Texas in the champ game. 🤬 Horse Hockey!

1) Get a TV, and talking heads, contract with ESPN 2) Get ESPN to promo your conference 3) Create a ranking which presumes no loss is a bad loss because you played a conference member

When will the first game of strike breakers take place? Seems that elite level NIL contracts and a players union would be at odds with one another. If lesser players (smaller NIL contracts)carry the vote to strike, for whatever reason, then elite players really take it in the shorts financially. It would stink to suddenly lose a large amount of money, for the well being of future players, when a collegiate career is rather limited.

Analyst Makes Bold Claim About Oregon's Talent at Big Ten Media DaysCollege football analyst Jake Butt is very impressed with the roster the Oregon Ducks have put together this season. Former Michigan Wolverines tight end and current college football analyst Jake Butt thinks that Oregon has not only the best roster in the Big Ten, but in all of college football. “I think Oregon arguably has the best roster in all of college football. Definitely the best defensive line unit. They have a ton of young talent. Dante Moore would have been a top-five pick last year,” Butt said on Big Ten Network. “The coordinator turnover is going to be the biggest question mark, especially on the offensive side of the ball.” Oregon Ducks On SIAnalyst Makes Bold Claim About Oregon's Talent at Big Ten...The 2026 Big Ten Football Media Days are officially underway in Chicago, Illinois.

Why wouldn't athletes employed by a public university be entitled to participate in the state's retirement program? When Leland Stanford and his wife lost their only child, Leland Stanford Jr., to typhus at age 15, Leland told his wife they would found a university in their son's name, and the children of California would be their children. Leland Stanford Jr. University was formed on farmland south of San Francisco. Leland was an industrialist who inherited wealth from his family and grew the enterprise, and also served as California's governor. He was one of the 19th century's wealthiest men. At his death in 1893, his estate was valued at $50 million, more than $1.5 billion in today's dollars. I do not know Leland's stance on unions. But in the 1890s, most industrialists were not big fans.

I'm just a fan, not one that knows much about the requisite qualities to judging how good a bunch 17-35 year olds will play together. But picking Ohio State and Oregon to finishing tops in the B1G? I could do that. Now point out the individual who picked Indiana to win the B1G, Heisman, and National Title within the first two years under Cignetti.

I will forever be grateful to Chip Kelly and what he did/brought to Oregon, including a 46-7 / 87% winning record, and 4 years and 4 BCS games -- including playing and nearly winning the NCG. Yes, he walked into a program that was primed and ready, but he also did some rather revolutionary things to college football, which elevated the talent he had to rather exceptional heights. I couldn't care less what Chip's done, or perhaps more arguably, hasn't done since leaving Oregon. Chip was an insane ride like we had never-ever seen at Oregon. And now, Coach Lanning is delivering insane winning numbers, and so far holds the exact same winning percentage as Chip at 87%. But I think the difference is that Dan is building a program that is sustainable at a crazy-high level, that can compete year in and year out with the big dogs of college football. Finally, Dante was at UCLA for one year in 2023. That was Chip's last year at UCLA as well. I'd like to think that maybe Chip sucking it at UCLA so badly indirectly helped push Dante out of UCLA and up to Eugene ;-) . Regardless, how fortunate are we that the kid chose to come our way!
