The Kamikaze Kid

Whatever you think about the ref’s call, you don’t put your fate in their hands. The alpha dog on the team with four fouls late in the game just needs to contest the shot, live with the results and live to compete for the victory. Easy to say from the armchair I know but that’s what it takes to win the tough ones. Good luck in the tournament ladies.

Whatever I feel about Mario as a coach is small potatoes to the important things in life. Losing mom is a dagger to the soul. My condolences coach.

If Mr. Thibs thought Mario was a fraud (which most here agree), then maybe dialing it back to avoid injury was the smart move. I don’t thing he signed up to be nearly last in the country in third down stops. Pretty sure the other NFL caliber players didn’t either.

Most of his “completions” were tosses to Dye in the backfield who was by far their leading “receiver “.

Nearly every team that routinely completed 3rd and 12 on a he Ducks all season long didn’t have any receivers at the combine.

Wow. Just switched over from the ladies to the men impersonating a befuddled team of 5th graders.

Nice finish ladies. Still have a chance to host the first two rounds.

At least three shot clock buzzer beater threes for UCLA. Just one of those games.

First, a 27.7% chance vs a 27.2% chance is just hysterical. Second, I think Ducks vs UGA Compared to The U vs AnM most likely will tilt a lot of recruiting battles. Third, it will be interesting to finally see the Lannng recruiting machine in full swing.

This is how a fan base of nails makes it enjoyable to keep being the hammer. Thank you fuskies. Thank you.

Nyara will be an absolute beast in the WNBA. It would be great if she gets to team up with her sister.

I was born and that’s all it took.

If the fuskies want to talk legacy, they aren't even on the same map as the mighty Yale. Leading the country with a whopping 18 national titles! Championships: 1874, 1876, 1877, 1880, 1881, 1882, 1883, 1884, 1886, 1887, 1888, 1891, 1892, 1894, 1900, 1907, 1909, 1927 And those 1880's teams were no joke!

I do appreciate all the fuskies do to make their yearly beat downs enjoyable. If not for their never ending smug delusions of grandeur, I would begin to feel sorry for them.

Excellent article. I'll take real talk of havoc rate over empty words on physicality any day!

Casey Mathews nearly knocked Cam Newton into tomorrow, caused a fumble and nearly stole us a championship!

Great post! I’ve always been skeptical of the star system and USC has always been my best example of why. You see it all the time in basketball with supposed five star one and dones. Anyone remember Troy Brown? Louis King? Bol Bol? These guys just create AAU highlight reels dunking on each other without ever developing any real game. Give me a hungry Clubber Lang type three star with something to prove any day.

What Chip does get is millions of dollars every year to inflate his record against PAC 12 patsies while living the SoCal dream life without having to even try that hard. Smart guy.

The beauty of getting robbed that year is that now we’ll be able to talk smack until infinity.

This never gets old!

I wouldn’t call beauty pageant titles as winning anything.and that includes you too fuskies.

My 2022 goals: Top 10% in fewest penalties 35 + points on offense 20 - points on defense Coaching being a plus in the sqeakers Way less injuries Zero off field drama

It's a lot funner to hate a team when they are good.

I’m talking about the average guy in that 3000 player pool. There’s always going to be upper level guys looking for the perfect spot. I just think most guys that have a hard time finding playing time will continue to do so elsewhere unless they drop down to lower level competition.

Lanning seems like a smart guy. He probably sees how much the community looks back at the days of long tenured coaches like Brooks and Bellotti. He probably knows that a few top level years from now, he could be looking at 8-9M a year or more for the next 10-15 years here with a fanatical fan base supporting him all the way. Or roll the dice somewhere else and have it not work out.
