Pac12 networks life hack:

sign up for slings 2 week free trial to get the games on pac12 networks. make sure to cancel before the 2 weeks are up, and then do it again with a different email.

I am a loafer, read a lot but don’t comment too much. I frequent cougarboard as well, but that causes a lot more headaches.

No, you’re definitely right. Taggart hates the media, I think its safe to say a lot of coaches do and I can’t argue that Taggart is anything else than a boring interview. Maybe I took it the wrong way, but I took the original comment as “Taggart won’t improve Oregon that much because he has no personality” But I think the personality he has in the…[Read more]

Mark Helfrich took chip kellys team that had only lost 4 pac-12/10 games in 5 years to the playoffs and national title game. He could only follow that up with the 21st ranked class (only five 4 stars)

When Helfrich was fired about 7 months ago, It was a month and a half before signing day. Oregons class was ranked 72nd. In a month and a half with…[Read more]

considering the last 2 seasons, thats the only game I don’t feel comfortable picking.

thin skinned? I thought it was a pretty level headed response. You’re the one who appears to be getting rattled by my comments, My apologies. 

I am not judging the recruiting class, I am judging the coaches engagement.

The ranking is merely an indirect measure of that

Utah doesn’t need “swag” to sell to kids, they have their own identity and methods, which no one can argue it doesn’t work.

Oregon definitely won’t win 10 games this year, maybe 9 and that’d be including a bowl win. (I am predicting 8) but admittedly, part of that also has to do with not having to play USC this year while playing AZ at home after a 2 year hiatus. Thats basically a guaranteed win swapped for a guaranteed loss.

I point out that Taggart Currently has the…[Read more]

That “pencil” currently has the #1 recruiting class on scout 😉

I hope Carrington has a great season inwhich he can avoid any stupidity and see the field every single game. He still isn’t getting 1,110 yards though.

As a duck fan, what do you base that on exactly? or maybe its sarcasm? Carringtons best season was as a freshman w/ Mariota throwing to him and he totaled 704 yards on about 40 receptions. His stats have dropped every season since then. Last year he had more receptions but 100 less yards. Carrington doesn’t break tackles and he drops the ball a…[Read more]

I agree with this, I don’t think theres anything wrong with giving him another chance whether this be his 2nd or 5th as long as the leash is short.

Carrington being dismissed had as much to do with Willie Taggart having to set the tone as a new coach as much as it did Carrington being an idiot. Not quite charlie strong level at texas but Taggart…[Read more]

Carrington is phenomenal when he is on. Unfortunately, he is not a leader. His best season was as a freshman with Mariota throwing to him and a guy like Bralon Addison mentoring him. He was consistent, he made huge plays, he was always open. He played diciplined because his teammates forced him to. then he got suspended by the NCAA along with 2…[Read more]

Carrington missed 7 games due failing the NCAA drug policy including the biggest college football game he’d ever play in his life.

last year he assaulted a dude and broke his arm while being quoted saying “I’m Darren Carrington!” In which he was forced to sit out the 1st quarter of the remaining 5 games of the season last year including the game…[Read more]

ya thats what he said after getting suspended for the 2015 college football playoffs and first 6 games of the 2015 season for failing the NCAA drug policy… and after he was charged for theft, then after he assaulted a dude and broke his arm. And now he’s saying it after his DUI

I’ll be shocked if he plays a down before he gets into more trouble.

Just in case you werent aware, this was Darren Carrington, the guy who caught the game winning TD vs Utah. This isn’t his first run in with the law. Taggart was pretty clear that players were on a short leash. I will be shocked if he plays a down this season.

ill admit i was a little underwhelmed with the hire, especially after hearing oregon was going after guys like tom izzo, but i am happy I was wrong. Under Ernie Kent, Oregon would essentially recruit one strong recruiting class once every 4 years, would make a sweet 16 or elite 8 appearance, then they would suck for 3 years. In his final few…[Read more]
