Rump, you have to win as the most doom and gloom, the sky is falling poster on the football board. You do realize that we have only had TEN division I victories that aren't Ken+ or EMU (who hardly count as Div I) in the past FOUR years. (Read that sentence back a few times until you realize how crummy that is, then continue.) So what ever we were doing, it wasn't working! You want an assignment? I'll give you one. Tell every guy on defense to start studying the 4-3. Tell the kickers to practice high booming kicks. Do this, & we'll double our wins next year.

Even though Virginia is going to hire him today, I like the type of guy we are interested in...defensive guy with head coaching experience.I am also glad that we are not only looking at local guys who some posters think we need because they can "recruit this area" I think that's hog wash.

After 11 pts & 5 rebounds against A&M, Jimmy is starting to meet CK's high expectations.

25 Examples of the ONLY Oregon apparel any real man should be worried about!?!? THIS is how you get recruits to sign!

No inside information. I just don't feel PW has an adequate resume for this job.

Stop worrying, it won't be.

If you are looking for a topic that might have already been started, or looking for an old reference in a thread, the "search" feature on this site can be a real help. It's pretty easy, here's how:At the top of the page there is a box that reads "Enter words to search for..."If you type in a few key words that you think will be in the thread, select "go" (circled in green) you should have success.Sometimes it takes some tinkering to get the proper words to get the correct results.If you would like to search further back than 30 days you need to change the drop down at the bottom of the page (circled in red).If you are searching more than one word, use the plus key (+). Example: +jason +taylor

PLEASE start using the SEARCH function on this site to see the many threads already started on this subject, and threads that have been hijacked on the subject.

Brian played great and will have plenty of time to win individual awards in the next three seasons. Settle down Rump, it's only an award, not a game. Get upset at losing a game, not an individual award.

I hear that Terry Pluto will transfer back to the Beacon if Kehres gets hired. He is busy using the replace all function to change "Mount Union" to "Akron" in all his previous BJ stories on Mount Union. He figures he has enough articles to last 10 years. Terry is the first one to figure out "early retirement" in this shaky economy. Now if Tom can just make it happen. This will be bigger than his porn addiction piece (which I can't find to link here...anybody?).

I really don't care if he made his mind up or not already (which I think he might). I think it is pretty cool that he (or somebody) is personally answering everybody's email. It makes you feel like you are part of the process. I think it was Rasor who had a poll on his blog that asked what you would like to see out of the new AD. I believe "more marketing" was the answer. PS If he does have his mind already made up, his (or whomever) answer to my email indicates that I will be happy with his hire.Rump, why do all of your posts read so angry. Relax, watch a soccer game.

Nice panties on the OSU players. The look is better at Hooters.The Oregon baseball player with the yellow "O" on his chest is just ridiculous. Looks like he plays for team Cheerio.Girls should stick to designing dresses, not sports uniforms.

I agree, put the names on the back. Better for the fans & players. Going out of your way to not put them on, makes the coach seem like he is doing something he is not. PS There is no difference between no names on the back and what Oregon does. You CAN'T see them. PSS The name thing is a much more interesting subject than if the uniforms look cute on the players or not.

If someone put a gun to my head and asked me to complain about KD, here would be part of my complaint: I wish KD would establish a starting five and a leaner rotation. It seems to me that he goes out of his way NOT to establish this to teach some kind of team unity concept. I think he goes so far out of his way to do this that it actually becomes detrimental to putting the best Akron team on the floor during any given game. If he set his rotations earlier, rather than later, I think our team would be better off. His way seems to lend itself to injuries and suspensions and what not, but I would rather see some sort of set rotation. I don't believe he is "experimenting" with rotations that long. I can sit in the stands and figure it out in three games.Interesting article.

I was speaking of the ones they wore during the Arizona game. The names on the back are in white on a white jersey.The numbers were shiny gray. At first I thought it was a prank and they used duct tape to make them. Not a fan of them at all.If I lined up against any of them I would make fun of those girly uniforms all day long.The current Zips uniforms are way better. PS If a recruit decides on a school for the uniform, I don't want that recruit.oh yeah....

You don't have to worry, Tom emailed me today and wrote "we'll end up with a great coach"

We are hearing....

I thought of these silly "new uniform" threads while watching the Oregon/Arizona game.Oregon uniforms are C-R-A-P !!! The names on the back are in white on a white jersey.The numbers look like somebody used duct tape to make them. They looked horrible.The current Zips gear is 100 times better. We have WAY better things to worry about!

I had the pleasure of meeting Darryl this year, nice guy, I wish him well.

$150,000 as of Dec 2008

Film study, game planning....this guy might even know how to make half time adjustments!?!?

Ellen breaks it down to A, B or C "What kind of coach do you want" stuff we have been doing on the board all year.Since that was such a crappy read, I'll give you some entertainment, Lee Owens back to Akron.

Going for the home run, or the DeSagana Diop?

I'm going out on a limb an saying that is why he is on a short list. People go with what they know. I suggested this back in September and that's how CK brought up Browning with 10 minutes of research. It's not rocket science.
