And then the douche bag threw his player under the bus instead of taking responsibility for an absolutely brain dead call......that's a guy I'd want my kid playing for......
Who guessed a month ago that the best defense in the PAC was UCLA's? They look like the proverbial immovable object. Their new DC looks like the real deal I know the Ducks are currently 6th in total defense, but I'm not a believer yet. They have had a very easy schedule and they've played terrible offenses. Washington, WSU, USC are boat-racing opposing defenses...until they play UCLA apparently
at Oregon, he was the one who would tell the OC which type of plays he wanted on certain drives. That's what happened against Stanford in 2018. Oregon could have taken knees, exhausted Stanford's time-outs, and punted from the 50 yard line with 8-10 seconds left in the game and buried Stanford, inside their own 20, with time enough for one play. Instead Verdell fumbled on the exact same play that Miami fumbled on
Kind of irrelevant. He's the head coach. Even if he didn't call that play, he could have called a timeout the instant he saw that happening. He let it happen, thus it's on him.
Tinkle has a losing record at OSU over 9 seasons (127-158). He's 14-49 over the last 2 seasons and his team is picked to finish last in the PAC this season. I'm not sure how much longer he'll be the HC and Scott Rueck, the women's coach sure didn't express much enthusiasm about playing Oregon it makes sense for the basketball teams to play each other. Not so sure about 2 games every year in a home-&-home. Doesn't seem to be any enthusiasm for that on either side. Probably alternate home games every year my hunch is that football games between the two won't happen for years
by the way, I'll put this here because I don't want to try and find the Pac-12-->Pac-2 thread: Washington has filed a motion to join the lawsuit filed by OSU/WSU and have the case dismissed: https://apnews.com/article/pac12-co...ington-state-7016d8f01d6b01c374077b29c97566ef I'm not an attorney and I didn't stay at Holiday Inn last night....but, my first thought was that since OSU/WSU deliberately venue shopped for the most favorable judge they could and filed in that state court, Washington was the only school that had the immediate legal standing to challenge because they are in the state. If the judge tries to block Washington from joining the case, or refuses to dismiss, the next step would seem to be to force the judge to recuse since he so clearly can be accused of bias. And since he's the only judge in that state court district, the next step would be either moving the lawsuit to a different state circuit or to federal court it might be that OSU/WSU have boxed themselves in because they only sued Kliavkoff and the Pac-12 rather than the 10 other schools. What is the Pac-12 if not the 12 schools? It kind of seems they are conceding that the 10 other schools are 10/12ths of the PAC. Well, if those schools are still 10/12ths of the PAC that would imply they can still make decisions for the PAC. And since the by-laws specifically state that a school is still a member of the conference UNTIL they file a formal written notice of exit, and none of the 10 have filed (because they can't till next August), that sure does imply, legally, those schools are still full voting members. Catch-22 I do know there's quite a bit of anger in Eugene and the UofO about what OSU has said and done, especially after that debacle of a hearing in front of the legislature a couple of weeks ago. I've been told that most of the other schools are not happy, at all, about the manner in which OSU/WSU venue shopped and what they are claiming. OSU/WSU may have generated enough anger in the other schools that they decide to fight. And if they do, the legal proceeding can take years and that could mean that OSU/WSU would not have the time before the 2 year deadline to salvage the PAC...leaving them no alternative but to join the MWC
