This is something I would vote for... ...however, if they were only top 13 or 14 there would have to be some other compelling reasons to let them into the playoff.

Not sure on how to come down on this. I´m not against the university suing. I´m happy they agreed to ask for $10,000 less than the contract required. It seems a little ticky-tack to be suing because the payment wasn´t received on time. I didn´t read all the details behind the paywall, but if they did receive the money, albeit late, why not drop the suit? This might be a bad look.

One great thing when they go into fall camp... Our reconstructed O-Line will be going against one of the absolute best D-Lines in college football. That alone should forge them into a very good O-Line.

True indeed! But last year we (collectively) had a hard time believing Brock Thomas was the best. I think we are starting to see now that he must have been.

Brock was obviously ahead of Akili on this outing. He seems to be playing so well that I wonder if they are thinking to redshirt Raiola next year (he can play in 8 games, depending on how deep of a run the Ducks make), playing BT as the number 2 QB on most outings???? That would give Raiola 2 years to start if he needed/wanted them.

no problem opening and reading.

What?? I thought the home to do list was something that hangs on the wall by the calendar for decoration. I've barely touched it in years!

It's not just the talent coming out of high school that matters. Indiana proved that the last two years. How good are the players now? How well do the units play together? How good is the team as a cohesive whole? Bryce Boettcher didn't add anything to Oregon's star ratings, but he will be drafted into the NFL in a couple months. A talented roster doesn't just mean what the team members were 3 years ago. How are they today?

For us old guys time already flies by too fast. Now you say spring game is just around the corner -- April 25... AAAAAaaaaAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaa. I have too much to do before April 25. I'd like to think I have plenty of time, but it is JUST AROUND THE CORNER! At least, when I am disappointed that I couldn't get everything done, I'll have the Spring Game to watch!

I would much rather be rooting for Bo Nix vs. Seattle... but... ***sigh*** Seahawks win 26-17 1 TO 2 Sacks 228 yards

I thought Josh Pate was the commish...

Thanks Jon. Of course, you are "preaching to the choir". This article would never fly south of the Mason-Dixon. The only thing I don't like about "Plan" is all of the automatic qualifiers. It feels no different than saying the SEC is the best, therefore they should have had all the teams they were trying to argue and whine into the field this last playoff. The Plan calls for two automatic qualifiers for the ACC. They barely got one in this last year, and that only because the the committee reversed their half season long putting ND in front of Miami. If it was up to ND, the ACC would not have had any qualifiers... And I am FINE with that... if they don't deserve it. I do think that Miami deserved it, but did a SECOND team? If we were in the Plan, the ACC would have their two highest ranked teams when other teams could have deserved it more. I don't think the SEC or the B1G deserve 4 automatic qualifiers if the top 4 teams in the Big 12 are ranked higher. Yeah, Yeah... but anything can happen. Two G6 teams were qualifiers this year because both were ranked higher than the ACC Champion. Anything can happen.

I do not fear. If Raiola can't "get it" he won't be starting. All you have to do is look to last year. We went out and got the best running back in the portal. We no doubt paid him a ton of money. He hardly saw the field because we had two true freshmen that were better than he. Next year he'll be toting the rock for someone else. Hopefully, he will "get it" there.

I really have to clue. I just stopped by to see what iubhounds would say.

I can see spots on the jersey going to the highest bidders.
