    The easiest way to get a pay raise is to listen when other schools come courting.

    Jonathan Smith needs to have some schools interested in him because he's done a great job rebuilding OSU.

    Anyone seen this dudes YouTube?

    Didn’t realize this was the UO player who passed away in a climbing accident until I read the comments.

    Dan Lanning spoke on the dumbass un-sourced rumor

    "First thing I want to say is that things like this are going to come up when you have team success and you do your job and things go the way they're supposed to go — that's credit to our team. That being said, I think there's a little bit of a problem in our society today with people looking for what's next and where there's an opportunity, and the reality is the grass is not always greener. In fact, the grass is damn green in Eugene, and I want to be here in Eugene for as long as Eugene will have me," he said.


    "This place has everything I could possibly ever want; that my family could every want. I have an 11 year-old that has lived in eight different states. The last thing I ever want to do is leave. I want to enjoy this opportunity here. It's been a phenomenal place for us. When you talk about things that align, things that match your vision for what you're looking for as a head coach, Oregon checks every box for me.


    "I think history maybe shows that this is a great place to be and not a great place to leave. I want to be here. Hopefully, that's the last time I have to address it, but the reality is this is a destination, not just for me, but for elite players. And why is it a destination? Great administration, great fans, great support, and it's a good reason to be here and a big reason we're having the success that we're having

    Apparently Lanning has been paying attention to the success rate of the bozos who bailed.

    I don’t think about it. At all.
