Yep, I used to care. Now, it's a plus I suppose. I care about it as much as I care about the character of the players on the Vikings or whatever TV show I'm currently streaming. It's all professional now.

He looked so good at the end of the year I didn't know whether to be annoyed he didn't play more or excited we had another competent OL. Stoked to have him coming back!

It's like everything. They made the right hire and they had some things fall into place. I'm not going to call it luck because those things don't fall into place unless they have done the legwork. As far as the money goes, I don't think those efforts would have had any legs if they went 4-8...

Welcome back! I'm hoping for a resurgence like Elijah Spencer had in year 2.

With the new rules on eligibility, I'm expecting Mo to be a player/coach.

I get that but we're sort of conflating two things. Nike has the "brand" deals with schools. Phil Knight also gives a ton of money to help fund Oregon's NIL - specifically. One poster argued that Phil Knight has a tremendous ROI into that NIL fund I understand the return on brand deals. I'm...

Companies literally project this every day.

Because it's not going to happen.

I'm hoping we consolidate some of those funds and get 1 higher end RT. The OL seems close (IMO) to being decent but that RT position could haunt us.

Do you think Nike makes massive ROI on their investment into Oregon? If yes, it would seem strange why they wouldn't do this with 8-10 more teams.

Just as an FYI, I don't expect it to mean much, but UND's (Fruechte was OC) offense last year was more of a traditional RPO - Spread.

This was a guy I was worried about. Pumped he's back.

Most of them.

Texas played in the semi-finals last year and they went 13-3. They went 12-2 the year before that (top 5 in the country) and 10-3 this year. You don't think they have a better chance of playing in big games, CFP and winning next year than the Gophers? If he goes to USC or Florida, sure, it's...

I can't disagree with your skepticism. He did struggle at times last year and he'd be competing with the next wave of safeties that are currently depth at Ohio State. Those goods were all similar level recruits to Koi. So I don't necessarily disagree with your skepticism, I just think he ends...
