We have 8 scholly receivers if I count correctly. Teams want about 10? That leaves 2 spots or so. Could be more or less depending on: 1. Wilhoite: don't think he was with the team all year? As long as he is enrolled he keeps his scholly. Maybe a medical redshirt if long-term injured? 2. Delgado: played some early. Don't believe he was on bowl travel squad. No injury report I have seen. 3. Tevin Jeannis: walk-on who has suited and played. Regularly practices. Does he possibly get a scholly. I assume a new staff will ask these questions.

Wilhoite and Delgado..... Has anyone ever seen either one? I'm kinda serious. At the Alamo Bowl it was all hands on deck....were either one of them there? Are they taking classes?

AP courses are not what they used to be. K-12 education is more about daycare than teaching. Grade inflation is the name of the game. Its the participation trophy approach to education.....everyone is entitled to pass. Oh, and it's getting worse.

Kamikaze and 30Duck make excellent points here about the passivity of Pac-12 presidents towards football. Other conference Presidents support football as a sport unto itself and a cultural institution that brings attention, students, boosters and donors to their schools. I get the feeling that the Pac-12 Presidents "tolerate" football because of its revenue generation and Title IX benefits that pay for women's sports. In that paradigm, just having the team is enough....competing and winning are secondary. At Oregon it should be different. Imagine the UO without the Knights' investments in both athletics and academia. I am not certain that it is different though....it seems the faculty have as much sway as the AD's department.

I am beginning to think that the college Presidents are a bigger problem than the Commish.

I believe 1980's era Chicago Bears DL Dan Hampton was known as Danimal. I say we go with Coach Dantastic

I don't know if we played the wrong receivers all year, or called the wrong plays, or decided that fast TD drives were not tough-guy enough, or what...... A mind boggler.

Truly, the Czar of the Telestrater.....

I wish the team was at full strength for the Alamo Bowl. I think Moorehead stuck around to show us all what the offense would have looked like without the Cristobal millstone around its neck. Unfortunately, he doesn't have the full deck of cards on hand to play with against the Sooners.

When it comes to recruiting with NIL it seems the old days of NCAA "oversight" and "amateur status" have gone the way of the Dodo......so, why not embrace the dark ways of the before times. Maybe Slick Rick was just ahead of his time?

Thanks for letting me know.....I have no pride of ownership of anything I post so feel free to modify as needed

Tomlin lets Klemm leave early to take Oregon job and this will be important for recruiting high school players and those in the portal. Pittsburgh Steelers OL Coach Adrian Klemm Leaving Immediately to Take Job with Oregon Ducks by Brooke Pryor of ESPN

5 years from now, which program has more wins, Oregon or Miami? Oregon 65%-35%

That rug really tied the room together.......

Charles, I have been a lurker for a long time...always enjoy the site a lot. Just posted again tho.....

I like to look at the level playing field record. Prior to the 1996 scholarship limits, program could stockpile talaent a la the NY Yankees. But, with equal 85 scholly rosters, the record is UO 18 - UW 6. That's damn near Globetrotters vs. Generals level domination.

This speaks volumes about the current and recent past-Coaches.

And here, Rico starts under center, recognizes the zone dog, and hits the hot receiver with a dime

No hitch in Uncle Rico's throwing motion but I am not a fan of his drop mechanics.

I am tempted to say, Tosh Lupoi and his little brown bag.... How about he plays both sides of the ball, Dana adds him as a power forward AND Robert Johnson lets him put the shot in the new Hayward Field!

Don't sleep on Butterfield. Plus, I think Shough can be serviceable. The issues this year were depth, experience, injuries moreso than coaching, scheme or execution. Of course, I am just a fan so whadoIknow?

First, very excited this board has been realized! I'm with Chalupacabra on this one. For all the reasons he cited: young team, no Spring practice, remote coaching, limited Fall Camp, and a bunch of new starters on both sides of the ball. Add a new offensive scheme to the mix, plus COVID quarantines and the inept Pac-12 scheduling and delays, and you have a recipe for mediocrity. Good news: a nearly normal 4th quarter program, a great incoming class, early enrollees, added experience for the young squad, and hopefully, full Spring and Fall Camps, and Mario will have them cooking with gas come September. I am also confident MC finds the right defensive coaching solution to replace AA. So, yes, there was some ugly ball this Fall, but the future is still promising IMHO.
