Re: Place your bets now
I agree that Oregon combines slightly less win or GTFO while having more money than a lot of these SEC schools, and Lanning has turned himself into a quick hero by hammering that he will never leave, but I think they still justifiably have high expectations. Especially with grim reaper hopefully sitting in Phil's bedroom.
An 8-4 season there should and would get you on the hotseat. Especially playing against the mediocrity and drek that is the Big 10 outside of Ohio State.

I don’t know about that. Oregon is not what it once was. Expectations are astronomical every year because there are zero (see what I did there?) excuses for not being a playoff team.
If Lanning goes 8-4, he may not get fired, but there will be a lot of Duck fans ready to haul his ass out of town in their beater 4x4.

It would be kind of crazy for almost anyone to not consider LSU. That state produces the most NFL players per capita and tends to produce high level talent even within that. Feels like them and Kiffin is a perfect marriage right now though.

Re: 3 takeaways from Washington Huskies’ impressive win over Illinois
I would love to see Jordan Washington get some more touches. This offense is really missing a RB or WR that can turn a hand off or short pass into a long TD.
I would actually like to see more of Muhammad as well. There are so many touches and Coleman is a good back, but hopefully we can run the ball more and lull the defense into giving up big plays off play action when they put extra guys in the box.

I mean. One person at Oregon. But still. I doubt he ever leaves unless it's to the nfl.

Jedd stays is the only one on that list I think actually comes true. Also I like how he has two coaches going to Penn state

Re: Place your bets now
I think the season is pretty much in line with what people expected back in August. The problem is winning at penn state shifted quook’s and their media enabler’s (Pate and pickell) opinions from 10-2/9-3 borderline playoff team to “we natty bro”.
Now it turns out Penn state isn’t good and expectations are snapping back to where they were 2 months ago.
Re: A Hardcore Husky O.G. sells the couch
IF referring to his health views, consider that his personal health being turned upside down at a young age probably put him in a place that few here will ever experience and I'm sure influenced what he chose to research and talk about. Even if you thought some of the MAHA stuff was off-base, you had to cut the guy slack because he was going through some real life shit and trying like hell to overcome the odds.

Re: Place your bets now
My big question with Oregon's offense was seeing it without a true running threat at QB. I don't know how dangerous it would be without one. Then you don't have guys who are really deadly at WR like Franklin and Tez Johnson. Then you replace a first round LT with a guy who wasn't even an All-Mountain West guy but who got declared a first round pick…I'll stop there…
