While his defense failed to translate to NCAA football, he had tremendous success in the CFL:

Interesting… who is paying for this?

Thankfully it seems like he’s ok.

Because they can’t put anything on the internet that isn’t true.

Insights from Bill Plaschke

For Oregon, the decision is sensible and yet there is a sadness to watching the last season of Pac-12 football. I remember what it was like as a kid. I lived off of Harlow Road near what is now Gateway Mall in a house close enough to the stadium for a walk to games. I collected the old wax paper cups from games and put the score of each game on the cup. I remember walking up at game time and picking up five-dollar tickets; sitting in the end zone and working my way to midfield in a half empty stadium. I remember how thrilling it was to see a victory – irrespective of margin. I was there when USC receiver Jeff Simmons (did not) score what would prove to be the game tying score in a 7-7 final schore. Sitting about 5 yards from where the play happened. I rejoiced in a tie.

Round 6 (No. 199): Malaesala Aumavae-Laulu, OT. The biggest surprise of the Ravens' draft class is Aumavae-Laulu, who is battling John Simpson for the starting left guard spot. The Ravens love his size (6-foot-5, 325 pounds) and how he pushes around linemen in the run game.

A look across the conference here:

According to a poster on Bear Insider, who seems to be accepted as the website’s resident insider, the ACC is now on the threshold of entering into an agreement with the two Bay Area PAC 12 institutions.

The posters on that site seem to consider academic prestige of the conference the most important criteria. There is no way that Cal or Stanford were ever going to go to the Big 12. As they are correctly pointing out, the ACC has some highly rated institutions. Once Cal and Stanford are in, it will be an even more academically superior conference.

Of corse, all of the posts on that board were clear that they wish that they could get a Big 10 invite.

I am not a member of that website. I just checked it to see what is happening with the conference realignment. I regret that those universities can’t get into the BIG. There would be a lot of advantages to having more BIG members closer to Eugene.

I wish them luck. I’d hate to be in their position.

In a world where offense often takes the spotlight, both Coach Lanning's interview and the article provide a refreshing perspective by focusing on building a formidable defense. The coaching staff's commitment to tactical prowess and character-driven player development, emphasized in both sources, promises a strong foundation for success. As fans eagerly await the start of the season, the transformation of the defense, as discussed in both contexts, is poised to be a compelling narrative worth watching unfold. The pursuit of excellence, individually and collectively, as stressed in both Lanning's interview and Lupoi’s comments yesterday, sets the stage for a defense that's not only competitive but also poised for greatness.
