That sucks. It's not great here in Metro, but nothing compared to 2 years ago in Eugene-Springfield. It was smoke inhalation air.

His line gave him time against Georgia, and he rarely surveyed the field. His arm strength is suspect too. Not a lot of zoom on his throws. He may very well look great against EWU. EWU is a good program, but not at the Ducks level. But the Ducks success relies on him being good against the likes of Georgia & Utah, Washington & Stanford. I see the Beaver's moving up. Being a top QB is about throwing your receivers open, and hitting them in tight spaces. Not just when their college open. I don't see Nix being that guy. I think it's sad Thompson can't even sniff the field. I'd rather see what Thompson can do , even if he fails, then see what an ordinary Nix does.

After six years of solid recruiting and brand building we really aren’t that more talented if at all than some of Mike and Chips teams. Even with all the 4&5 star players. Plus we’ve had to lean transfer qb’s.
Haven’t yet lived up to all hype.
 
I remember going through the Burgerking drive thru on Gateway St. and it looked like fog, but was smoke. After that event my car filters were Black, cabin included.

Makes me feel like this 4 & 5 star recruit crap is BS. Get us some players who can play. Not excuses.
 
They should postpone this. Look at the air quality map right now

he took over a 0-12 UCF team and turned them into an undefeated 13-0 team in just 2 seasons. He was supposedly the next great coach, and Nebraska though they'd hired a winner and former player. They were ecstatic in Lincoln. Frost was 16-30 at Nebraska

he famously said that it was nearly impossible to recruit elite players to Eugene. Mario proved him wrong

Nebraska isn’t chic to young recruits like it was when Osborne was there. Kids these days have never seen Nebraska even relevant.

When I was a kid Nebraska was elite. There was Nebraska fans everywhere you went.
 
Hey guys, long time lurker here. Blazers are my number one team, but BYU is my two. I'm from SLC and flying up to PDX for the game this Saturday. We are staying in the downtown Portland Marriott and driving to the game Saturday morning. I know the drive to Eugene is typically just over 1.5 hours, but how bad does game day traffic get? How long should I plan the drive to take? Also, any fun pregame activities that I should get there early for?

It will be Saturday and the weather is still decent so there will be some recreational traffic not related to the game(s). The drive down in the morning probably won't be bad. Oregon State has a home game Saturday too, but the game time starts are 4.5 hours apart, so that will help. But you don't want to be driving back to Portland after the OSU game finishes. I'd give it an hour, better 2 hours after the Duck game ends before driving back to PDX

if you're not familiar with the drive, be advised that I-5 is 3 lanes (both ways) thru Salem, but reduces to 2 lanes after Salem. That reduction can be a bit of a bottleneck and those 40-50 miles of 2 lane interstate can test your patience

Oregon State is playing in Portland.
 
since the season has started it's been real quiet on the conference expansion front

there was this from behind the On3 paywall:

Talk about cherry picking…

That’s not what he said at all.

In fact he said that “every kid in the country wanted to come to Oregon; everybody was interested.”

He said it was *hard* to recruit there because it wasn’t in prime recruiting ground, like Florida, Georgia, Texas or SoCal where it’s easier for those schools because kids *most* top kids don’t wanna leave the state.

He even implied that Oregon is close enough to prime territory that they could get enough kids to run their offense when he said, “can’t run the Oregon offense at Wisconsin, not enough kids that run well enough”.

That would also be complete horseshit because they were constantly pulling in some of the top classes while he was there with elite recruits like DAT, Seastrunk, Canton, Taj, Blackmon, Freeman, Armstead and others. Not to mention the amount of “almosts”.

But Mario definitely was better; and everyone knows some of the main knocks on Chip and Helfrich was the lack of recruiting prowess on those staffs. And if u know anything about Oregon football you’ve heard the stories about Scott frost and his recruiting habits.

I don't know why it is you come in so hot to every discussion...

I said, Frost said: it was nearly impossible to recruit elite kids to Oregon. You said, Frost said: elite kids wanted to come to Oregon, but didn't because of one reason or another

there's almost no difference in those interpretations except semantics. Bottom line is Frost said, in one way or another, it was nearly impossible to recruit elite kids to Oregon
