The last line in the article is what got my attention: "If that’s not impressive, also know that Markley got along well with Chip Kelly." What??? a media type guy that got along with Chip Kelley??? No wonder he mentioned it!

"...I saw the purple. It was... echhhh.... (shakes head)."

Family!!! Dylan Williams, 4-star linebacker, commits to Oregon Ducks WWW.OREGONLIVE.COM Four-star linebacker Dylan Williams chose Oregon over Michigan State, Miami, UCLA and Washington.

I hope he is family.

I would keep things mostly as they were last year. Rotate and keep guys fresh. If the freshmen deserve the snaps, they can have the ones that Dollars and others took last year. I loved the way Dollars and Whittington blocked for each other when they were on the field together. You've also got the Go-Go option.

These records reveal the REAL reason the Trojans are leaving the PAC. Their win percentage in Autzen is holding on by a thread. If they stay in the PAC, they will most likely have a losing record at Autzen before we get to 2030... probably a lot sooner. What self-respecting Trojan fan could stomach that?

I have always rooted for the team that beat my team to go all the way. That way, who's to say that my team isn't second best? Georgia repeating last year made the opening loss not sting so bad, especially being the first game for a new coach, new system, etc.

In more ways than one!

This is very sad. I hope it doesn't affect his ability to coach in any way. We want a strong PAC.

With the current trajectory at OSU (since JS arrived), they have a real chance to be in the post season picture. OSU football, men's BB, and women's BB all have reasonable shots at post season play and would benefit from unequal shares of post season money.

You can encourage students to be involved in a community of faith without giving any direction as to which faith. Every now and then I hear on the radio (non-religious) about benefits of belonging to a community of faith... ANY faith.

I wonder if the LA schools tried to join the B1G in football and basketball only, to stay in the PAC for the other sports???? It would have been a lot less travel, a lot cheaper, and a lot easier on the STUDENT/athletes.

We'll see if this results in a lot of athletes jumping ship in the portal for "greener" pastures.

The coaches know more than I do... I choose to defer to them.

If you were holding the NIL purse strings last year, What would you offer Nix to stay for one more? If it was available, I'm sure most of us would think 1.5 is a deal... especially if we knew all the roster changes that DL would be able to put in place before summer.

What the article ignores is the fact that, because Prime is in his FIRST year, he is allowed to cut players and bring in more from the portal. After the first year, that option is greatly reduced. He can't make wholesale cuts... he can only inform that playing time will probably be better somewhere else. If nobody leaves, the coach would still be stuck with them, even if he didn't want to play them. Of course, many would chose to leave. My point is that a second year Prime can't do what a first year Prime can do. If the players he brought in this year don't work out, he can't do it again.

This might be spot on. Yes, Day one the day in the Rose Bowl and has been to the playoff several times... but with how many 4* and 5* players does he have on the roster, mostly because it is tOSU? Also tOSU can afford the best assistant coaches out there. KW has built his program from the ground up, over decades (in football years). He started with 2* and a few 3*. Now he is recruiting good 3* and a few 4*… but still way behind what tOSU can bring in. KW has just won the PAC 12 two times in a row, including last year when there were many top flight teams competing. FIVE PAC 12 teams won 10 games or more last year... and it's not just because they played all cupcakes. I obviously think that DL deserves to be on this list, and so does Jonathan Smith... These two guys are both wizards in their own way.

Praying...

Definitely, our best QB year. BB and MM were both better than DT, who led the team to the national championship game and should have won it.

So, what we are hoping for is that "It (the defense) always reigns in Autzen Stadium."

...and maybe why Ware hit the Portal???

The reason Oregon is so low in the PAC is that they do not have to play Oregon.

Not only did they sell tickets at $10 a pop, they sold out! They also sold out the biggest crowd they have ever had! I think it is important that we fans attend the spring game if at all possible... Because it will help in recruiting! A whole bunch of young studs will be there, looking over the Oregon Ducks. The fuller the stands, the better the experience.

What do we mean by, "Get your tickets"?

It's kind of amazing that he is a three star since he has only played in 4 HS games. I see him moving up before he graduates next year.
