"Look, I can be oblivious at times, but I am not crazy; of course you take the chance on a scholarship with Harbor..." I think you answered your own question here. Wasn't Devon Allen injured on a kick off return? The first one of the game, which took him out of it... alas!

In Bowls so far, the B1G is 4-2, the PAC12 is 3-2, and the SEC is 4-5.

Hmmmmm... He didn't Win the Day.

Pretty impressive. Grows confidence in DL and company's ability to assess the capabilities of the various athletes that they want to invite to Oregon.

Root for Washington to win, but to look bad doing it.

Root for what is good for Oregon. What's better for the PAC is good for Oregon.

I have been figuring that in the first AP poll preseason in the summer that the PAC 12 would have 2 teams in the top 10 and maybe 3... with 5 or 6 in the top 25.

Muddying the waters for another couple of years is the 2020 COVID extra year of eligibility. At the time it created a lot of questions, and those questions remain for at least 4 years after. If I am remember correctly (something I can never guarantee), they were talking about a temporary increase in the number of scholarships over the 85 limit. It would only count for those seniors who were playing their 5th year. For example, if there are 3 seniors who will be playing their 5th year (because of the COVID extra year of eligibility), the the 85 number would be increased to 88 for that year only. The following year, 2024, if there are 7 seniors who will be playing their 5th year, for that year only, the 85 will be increased to 92 for that year only. As I said, I do not know for sure if I am remembering correctly... but that is what I think I understood at the time. Listening to all the arguments for and against, it seems to make sense. What I am saying is that this might be a factor. Does anyone else know anything about this?????

If he stays on his feet, the guy is definitely going to be in the hall of fame. They are already gathering his stuff.

This is one reason why we should be rooting for the PAC. It makes a difference in the national perception.

I think this is a good move for DJ. Jonathan Smith can help him. The only downside is maybe an awkward family vibe, especially during CW week. Little Brother playing for Big Brother taking down Big Brother playing for Little Brother...

I agree with this... However, do to my vast lack of experience and knowledge, I would prefer not to take him at this time. Since I also root for the Beavs and Jonathan Smith, I wouldn't mind him going to Cornvalley. His team would be a rival to his brother's team, but they would be close enough to visit whenever they wanted.

Furthermore, EVERYONE watches the Rose Bowl.

in or out, it will not destroy my joy for all of today's signings.

Totally awesome class so far! I am 100% with Savagefund (above). I am especially happy with Uiagalelei and Novosad. Really relieved to have another good QB in the fold.

What I am hoping is that TT hasn't already begun to doubt himself. That seems to be what happened to Tyler Shough. Hopefully Will Stein can turn his head around and make him a leader of Oregon men.

...but not if there is someone better out there. If Moore is going to play for Oregon, he is going to have to learn how and when to pull the ball and run for daylight.

Now THAT is a team player. Good job Bo!

When we rooting for and rejoice when the Ducks flip a great player, we have to expect some of the same going in the other directions. No hard feelings no matter what happens.

This is why I think it is great that Uncle Phil will be meeting with recruits this weekend. He's not going to promise them the moon. He's going to be frank about what is reasonable and all the ways that being involved with Oregon and Nike can help them further their future.

If TT were to announce to the portal before the Bowl game, who do we have at backup? Butters is gone. The only one left (I think) is a walk on. If Bo goes down, TT will get in the game. If he wants to leave after the game, there is still time to find another team.

One more reason to think that the Ducks have a good chance to win this game.

It's got to be both/and... Would a solid transfer guy be overly interested in a school that showed him no interest at all when he was in HS? We can let someone else try that experiment. (Wanna give it a try Coach Prime????)

Somewhat sad. Makes me wonder if a person who does this will leave as soon as a bigger paycheck is flashed somewhere else. It seems to me that greater considerations for choosing a school would be 1) how well will they prepare me for the next level, 2) does the school/team seem like a place that I can fit in well?, and 3) what does my family think of my choice? If, after these considerations Dickey decided to commit to Oregon, why not just make a card for Oregon fans? If these considerations don't put one of the schools in a clear lead, I suppose the recruit could justify this by asking, How much do the fans want me to come? Of course, this is only a one time monetary gain. I wouldn't think that it would offset a difference in 3-4 years of NIL money.

One of Bo's greatest assets is his ability to change the play at the line of scrimmage based on what he sees in the defense. That is something that he cannot show off at the Combine.
