Looks like Georgia's Defensive Coordinator Dan Lanning is the new Oregon Ducks head coach. I don't know much about the guy but Georgia had the best defense in the nation by stats per game. Young guy with no experience as head coach. We'll see how it works out. I'm glad they chose a young energetic up and coming coach over some previous head coach that's been shuffling around. He's supposed to be a top notch recruiter as well.

From the players reactions on twitter they seem to approve and that goes a long way when the players are happy.

Well it looks like Oregon's first game of the 2022 season is going to be interesting. They play their first game in Atlanta against Georgia. It'll be a homecoming for Lanning and a game I'm sure he's going to be motivated to win.

Good vibes from the new Oregon Ducks coach. Cristobal is already forgotten. Oregon just got an upgrade.

Coastal Carolina vs NIU was a really decent game to watch.....didn't really care who won but it was back and forth the entire game

I thought it was a joke and didn't pay much attention to it. But it's a real thing. A Jimmy Kimmel Bowl? How ridiculous is that?

Omicron is fucking with the basketball schedule. Do you guys think we will get the bowl games in?

Things are really starting to look good for next season. It didn't take long for Oregon to snatch a decent quarterback. Bo Nix might not be the best but he can throw the ball and I think he's going to great here in Oregon. There definitely isn't any shortage of players and coaches that want to come here. A few have left but there was no significant bleeding from Cristobal's departure. Oregon is going to be a better team next year.

Phil Knight isn't getting any younger and he wants a championship bad. I don't know if he can buy one but he's going to try.

I don't follow sports that much anymore but I like my Ducks. Having a quarterback that could throw the ball would have made a big difference this last season. The Ducks have had some great quarterbacks. Both Justin Herbert and Marcus Mariota are current starters on NFL teams. Anthony Brown might have been a nice guy but wasn't a great quarterback and couldn't throw the ball. Nix can and is what the Ducks were missing.

Looking forward to next season.

Didn't you guys get an assistant coach from FSU too? I wasn't paying attention, but I saw something on the news.

I'm just excited to see Georgia vs Michigan, who is gonna out-choke who? Harbaugh and Smart are the gold standards of big game chokes, who's gonna come out on top?

As a Wolverine fan, a Kirby Smart choke would be nice. But as a college football fan, I’m hoping to see a good game. Way too many of these semifinal games have been one-sided affairs where one team looks like it doesn’t belong.

Amen!!! I hope it lives up to the hype Hopefully Cincinnati comes out swinging and punches Bama right off the rip. Only way they stand a chance is to get them off their game plan early, and do it again after Saban adjusts at halftime. I'm all about the SEC, but I'd much rather see competitive football games as opposed to one-sided dominance.

We're getting people from all over the south. They're attempting to build the next Alabama here in Oregon.

Phil Knight isn't getting any younger. He wants a championship.

Smart people know what's available here. People like Cristobal and Taggart go home and are sacked in a year or 2 left to regret the opportunity they were given here in Oregon. But neither was a championship caliber coach. I'm liking Lanning and the team he's putting together. He's a young guy and is hungry. He appreciates the opportunity Oregon has given him. I expect great things as do every other Oregon Ducks fans. The optimism and hype is at all time high levels. There's a great vibe going around.

We'll see what happens next year but expect the Ducks to be contenders. If the fanbase power transforms into a winning Ducks season. The NC is on the table.

I can't wait.

I watched ODU vs Tulsa only because I was bored and nothing else was on.....not much of a game as Tulsa pretty much dominated from the start

 

[C. Nesbitt]

COVID positive QB at Georgia and the current numbers in pro sports seem to have college teams attention. Michigan is doing a team wide COVID booster today, sounds like Alabama team is about 90% boosted according to Saban.
Really hope they don’t have a ton of kids test positive over the next week.

What an amazing effort by the Army Black Knights to fight back and beat Missouri

Missouri scores a TD with 1:11 left in the game to go up 22 - 21 but choke on the 2 point conversion with a wide open receiver.

The Black Knights charge down the field and Cole Talley nails a 41 yard field goal, which was his longest of the season.

I took a nap after supper so I could be awake for my midnight ramble later. Drifted off to sleep watching the Gates lose to UCF. I guess the Golden Knights are the best football team in Florida this year.

The Louisville vs Air Force (First Responders Bowl) was quite an entertaining game....Louisville fought hard to tie the game up but came up short

 

[Herb & Suds]

Sitting on pins and needles hoping Michigan can field a team two more games

@xtsho

Sorry to see your Ducks get roasted yesterday......they really had a tough 1st half but looked much better in the 2nd
