MADDER THAN HELL II: Lack of Defensive Talent?!!

This contention about the lack of defensive talent is a CROCK. If you want a quick example of what the real problem is—from our best player on defense, (Troy Dye) then this article will help. It is an easy one to follow, (An Editorial) and read-it-there, and comment-here as usual.

Oregon 4th

Having watched the Ducks just once and the Heels twice, O doesn't look as good as no 5 UNC, without Brooks. Maybe when Altman tightens up his rotation they will look better, but for now, no 4 aint bad.
Baylor could be a test, and Maui sure as hell will be.Exciting times

I'm wondering what guys think is our best 8-9 man rotation after one game, excepting Brooks?

Lauren Rain Williams Visited This Weekend!!!!

UO had some big football and basketball visits this weekend but the most elite athlete of the recruits that visited probably was Lauren Rain Williams. Lauren is the nation's top ranked girl's high school sprinter. She has been considered by many recruiting analysts to be a USC lean. This was her final visit and a decision will be coming in the next day or two before the early signing deadline.

The (sad) nature of the business...

Here is my concession speech:

The offense is a year away and if (more likely when) someone replaces Helf & Co. next year they'll look like offensive geniuses.

The D has longer been on a downward slide. Helf saw this. It sounds like he tried to get Pendergast (and maybe some other top-notch DCs) but the Athletic department wouldn't open their wallet wide enough. Helf's future at Oregon was placed in the hands of another first-time "bargain" DC. Hoke couldn't right the ship in one year (maybe his fault, maybe not. We'll probably never know for sure).

Now, with the collapse of fan and booster support, at minimum we'll see major changes on D. More likely we'll see a break in Oregon's long coaching genealogy (i.e. hiring from within) and seek new blood from outside the program.

Hopefully P.J. Fleck (or whomever) gets an elite DC, or we'll turn on him, too. It's the (sad) nature of the business.

Sick of this Sh&t ...long post

I don't participate in slamming other members here and I am getting sick to death of the bullshit and name calling and just plain fricking rudeness that is going back and forth.

To me, and probably only to me, this board is the virtual equivalent of sitting in a sports bar with a bunch of Duck fans that are all different ages with different backgrounds from around he country.

How fricking cool is that?!

That's a rabid Duck fan's dream (and I consider everyone on here a rabid fan).

We get information that we don't know from people that do.....we get opinions and observations and sometimes its funny and sometimes its sad (Greg Ballard) but its all among like minded people (Ducks anyway).

Its the best Ducks sports bar in the world.

Sure we get in disagreements, arguments even, just like in a bar with your pals. We all have opinions, usually strong ones and we try to get everyone else to agree with them. I think you should be adamant about your beliefs, defend them...but don't be a dick.

But at the end of the day, for me, its a great way stay into the Duck scene with like minded folks.

I choose to be here as does everybody else does. I pay for the privilege of being here (not much I admit...its a good value).

But I do not want to keep coming to this bar if its gonna keep being so disrespectful. I'm thick skinned....I can take it.....I just don't want to.

So....go ahead and flame my ass 'cause I just don't give a damn if you don't like me or my posts.

Just trying to have fun.

Don Brown for HC

How about someone totally off the radar? He is the current DC of the best defense in football at Michigan and he had one of the best defense's in the country last year at Boston College.

Keep the offensive staff and fire the entire defensive staff.

Even though the offense hasn't been astounding the talent and coaching is there.

How about a defensive minded coach for once?


I am obviously spit balling. A bit drunk too watching Michigan with my wife.
