Recruiting Nugget: Thought I would share just a little recruiting whisper. Get your juices flowing some.As I said the other day - not much action in recruiting right now; especially for the class of 2018.The real action right now in recruiting is in the 2019 class. One player who got an offer during the Spring Game is definitely a player to keep an eye on is Suaava Fagale'a Poti. He might be the ...

Gonna try to get a daily wrap every day during the week - and today's is pretty damn obvious.College basketball is in trouble.First things first,Rick Pitino needs to resign.  Now.Look, all of the faux shock and indignation has worn thin. He was in charge of this program during the lurid hooker for recruits scandal and is now in charge of a program that has been shown by the FBI to have bought

Baylor Surprises:There were a lot of surprising results over the weekend. There were top 25 upsets, blowouts, big moments and injuries just like every Saturday. But Baylor really surprised me.After starting with losses to Libery and UT-San Antonio a home game against the No. 3 ranked team in the nation; an Oklahoma team which had crushed Ohio State; it seemed like a massacre waiting to happen in W

It was interesting to watch the reaction to Saturday's game. It was not full meltdown mode and that is a good thing - it is the fourth game of a new coaching staff's tenure; hardly cause for over reactive fear.But what about what happened Saturday? Should that not be cause for concern?Yes and no.RAVE:There were plenty of things that went right in the game Saturday night. One thing that really impr

It would strike me curious just how many people know all four of those in the picture above. The question originates from a legitimate comment I read yesterday as it relates to the NFL vs.  Trump in the kneel/stand debate.First, a note. A friend once told me he could not in good conscience promote my site. He said that 'politics and sports don't mix.' To an extent, he had a valid point. I get

After every game, I write a piece for Duck Sports Authority called 'Fifth Quarter'The articles are premium, but I want to share some of my thoughts here as well. Obviously, our members can read the full piece there, but here are some thoughts I had following the loss. I once wrote a piece the sun rising the day after the Alamo Bowl loss; I kind of see this game in a similar light - except I think

Pac-12 conference play gets into full swing today. Well, really, it went into full swing last night with a thrilling, narrow victory by Utah. It was as close as Vegas expected (Utah a five point favorite), and very nearly an upset. Will there be any potential upsets Saturday?Utah 30 - Arizona 24If not for a contested fumble by Brandon Dawkins, we might be leading off the morning edge here with the

My throwaway thought day. What this site is looking to become is something more than 'just sports' in that it is the opportunity to share. Following the first game, I dared to share some very personal thoughts and really appreciated all of the support and empathy I received.I will frequently do editorial style columns taking aim at any number of topics, personalities and issues as I see fit. My vi

Charles Nelson and the no news depth chart releaseOkay, so I write about many things; but clearly one topic stands out because I am closer to it than others - Oregon football.Yes; the depth chart for week four came out yesterday - yes, Charles Nelson was listed as the starter. So I will say this: A Tuesday depth chart is about as meaningful as a point spread on Sunday afternoon or preseason polls.

Wednesday Nuggets:QB Thoughts:  Nothing earth shattering; just some 'freebie' recruiting thoughts this morning. Quarterback recruiting has been complicated this cycle. Oregon was able to snare a late flip from San Diego prospect Braxton Burmeister. It would appear that the Ducks will have to gain another flip if they want to land a QB for this class - hint - they do.It is also no secret that
