OT: DEAR SANTA

DEAR SANTA:

For Christmas, may I please have the following fly fishing gear?

1 G Loomis 5wt NRX rod
1 Lamson Litespeed reel
1 Wulff Triangle Taper fly line.
1 Simms sling pack
1 Pair Simms G3 Guide Wading Boots
1 Pair old waders
1 Large canvas duffle bag
1 Gift certificate for about $300.00 for flies
1 Gift certificate for about $100.00 for misc.
1 Hunting knife
1 Wading belt
1 Of everything else that I can't think of right now.

oh...and one baseball bat.....so that I can beat the snot out of the dipstick who went into my backyard, broke into the car, and stole my duffle bag with all of my best fly fishing gear in it.

Thanks, Santa,

ps.....just the baseball bat would be fine...

Arizona throttled; Sumlin seems gone

Keep an eye on this development. I don't have specific intelligence, but losing 70-7 against an in state rival to go 0-5 is almost surely going to be followed by a firing.

Sumlin has been more than just a disappointment in Tucson, he has been an abject failure.

Why do we care? Because there is a strong chance calls are made to a certain DL coach. While I don't think he gets the HC gig, he will almost certainly get a call to return to his alma mater in some fashion; possibly as DC.

COVID and UO Sports

I sure get the perception that UO's athletes, coaches, staff... have followed the Dr's orders. I think I recall Altman saying something to the effect the players miss their friends, socializing....and can't wait to get back to semi normal. Mario has made similar statements. I don't know of any cancellations due to UO. Maybe it happened, and just wasn't reported that way. Not sure.
If the perception is right, kudos. It IS easier to stay CV free in Eugene and Corvallis than in some of the larger cities common for most P12 schools and we aint done yet. Still, so far it seems the UO athletics community has done pretty well with it.
So even with a failed cfb season that was akin to a few "pre season" games, there could be a bond of unity and success hidden in the quagmire. Maybe the athletics programs will have earned an even stronger bond with the local community by following the basic public health guidelines.
Just a thought.

Tis' the Season: Garcia Exits USC

Might be old news to many, but it's not just Oregon suffering from wandering eyes. A bit of this going around. They still have Moss. Hate to loose west coast kids to SEC, ACC...but we ARE talking SC.

Foreman move foreshadowed by a transfer?

There has been a lot of talk about Foreman and Maason Smith going to the same school. We always knew that wasn't going to be Oregon as Smith never really had Oregon in a top group.

That left Georgia, LSU and USC as the three top spots. Well, today, former Alabama player and 2019 top 50 player, No. 5 DT Ishmael Sopsher announced his landing spot -- USC.

What does that mean? Maybe nothing. Maybe Fotemsn still picks USC. But right now this looks to be an SEC battle for both between Georgia and LSU.

Transfer TRAAAACK

Credit our internet friend, Chileduck, for this update that he posted on his Duck track website. She has transferred in from Nebraska. Mia is Danish ... and she certainly looks Danish! I’d give her low four... but she is versatile and can run the 1500 and even add a helping hand in the 4 x 400. She has done pretty good in European U20 meets.
