Can't say I really agree with everything they say but interesting read

 

[mrwallace2ku]

It is an awesome watch.

OSU won 2014

These things go in pairs...Civil War 2014?


Bandon Dunes is a hellva golf venue...4 courses of pure hell.

2nd-Year Oregon Coach Mark Helfrich Threatening to Take Ducks to Next Level | Bleacher Report

I can hear it now.

Helfrich: If you guys don't knock it off, I'm going to take this team to the next level!
Duck Fans: Bring it, beyotch! Come at me, bro!

Some word choices in headlines amuse me.

Washington vs Penn State would be sweet.

All over that. I just hope that a PAC team draws Penn State. The hype around that game is going to be huge. It will be a marquee bowl no matter who or where PSU plays.

Oregon State or Washington are my top 2 choices to play em.

Any PAC team getting the holiday or now upgraded SF bowl bid will need 8+ wins in 2014. 9 for the Holiday bowl would be more realistic. Dawgs and Beavs got work do to this year to get either of those bids.
Please no LV bowl for Dawgs. Would suck playing Boise st there when we got them @ Boise next year already.
Beavs can spend Christmas in El Paso. That's all theirs. Enjoy.

Getting Penn St. into one of those PAC bowls would be huge. But man o man, those fans travel well to begin with and with all the pent up issues, they're going to bum rush that game. Tix will be in high demand. But at least 49ers and Bolts stadiums are big enough to better handle the demand.

Is that the combined score?

hehe...

How do you guys feel about Wyoming? I really like the Craig Bohl hire. I think they'll play better than most expect and beat that 40pt spread easily.

Oregon still rolls but the Cowboys gonna earn some respect.

I'd love to see the Cowboys role and put up some big points, but after failing to break 20 points in their first two games I don't think it will happen now. I do think Wyoming has a good defense, but the only way they are able to even keep this one respectable is a big let down coming off of the MSU game by the Ducks.

Wyoming is 115th in scoring and 20th in points allowed. this is against Montana and Air Force though.

I think Bohl is a superb coach, but even Lombardi needed good players. I think he'll be able to do some things right away against teams closer to Wyoming's tier, but I suspect even if Bohl and his staff have an ideal gameplan for the Ducks, there isn't a whole lot they'll be able to do about it. In 3 years this is sort of a scary game though I bet.

In three years he'll be gone.

 

[WABLTY]

In three years he'll be gone.

My understanding is he had higher profile offers, but took the Wyoming job because it was a "cultural" fit. He likes being in the sticks. I doubt he leaves unless Nebraska offers and I'm not sure that's possible because I think he had to fall on his sword there as a DC under Solich. I thought I remembered hearing rumors about putting his dick in the student body, too, but I'm not sure of that or anything

Ah yes, the so-called big 4 for UW this year. Watch who they have at 28. Turning heads so far and several scouts have him moving way up. Calling him the best DL since Emtman for UW. Shaq has a chance to turn some heads as well in this new defense. I could see both of them moving up.

All 4 in the first round? Tall order there, but nice that they are getting some recognition.

Pullman anyone?

I am surprised at the sudden rise of 6'9" d-lineman Arik Armstead. He is vastly improved though.

Another surprise is not seeing Hronnis Grassu on there. He is a center though . Last center I remember in 1st round was Jake Grove.

 

[WizardHawk]

Seachickens are happy as can be with their oregon center. Captain of that line. You notice when he isn't in there.
