My niece was a scholarship athlete at Oregon. Graduated with a master's degree a couple of years ago. Is huge into sports. Works for a professional soccer team and is now trying to break into the NFL. I'd love to get her a job at UT in some kind of marketing capacity at the athletic department if it were possible. We talk sports all the time. Not just Oregon. All of college football. I told her when Lanning promoted Mehringer that was a terrible mistake, and he'd likely be a huge failure. It wasn't just his tenure at Texas. Heck, Herman ended up firing nearly all of his original assistants, which shows just how miserable that first staff ended up being. No, it was also his tenure at Rutgers, where he was literally the worst OC in the country. By far. The guy has been an abysmal failure at multiple stops. So how did he get the gig? Because he had the good fortune to be part of Lanning's first staff, and like many head coaches, Lanning believes in promoting from within. Given that Oregon falls a little behind in terms of paying competitive wages for a lot of their coaching staff, they've seen quite a few leave for lateral moves. Not that they're horribly under the market, but for a program that pays their head coach a premium wage, and has a roster payroll somewhere around $50 million, the assistants are often not paid at a commensurate rate. So you see them leaving for greener pastures on a semi regular basis. But Mehringer stayed, so as other coaches left, whether for lateral promotions or like Stein for head coaching opportunities, Mehringer moved up. I'm interested to see how Lanning handles this offseason.

This is awesome

Really enjoyed the breakdown as well. He did talk about how ole miss played their best when they played us straight up instead of slanting, causing them to play out of position. Center seems to still be the biggest issue, but it was a nice change from what we had seen over the past couple of weeks.

Oh well. Oregon will always have that 1938-39 basketball natty to fall back on…

After all the injuries he has had, his quickness has not forsaken him.

...he really broke down the huge holes and how the talented backs ran hard. He was critical of how Ol'Miss lined up against the run that 4th quarter. He also says, "Arch is back." It is always interesting to see his film study. You learn a lot.

Anchors away!!

Never count out the Midshipmen.

I’d love to see Navy BTA randomly this weekend. It won’t happen, but it would be amazing lol.

You can play around with SECCG tiebreakers here: https://bball.notnothing.net/sec.php?sport=fb Winning out and all the favorites winning their games will have us playing Ole Miss in the CG. If Georgia beats Ole Miss then it would be UT v UGA

Other than Miami, SMU is the only other team on Notre Dame's schedule that could realistically be a challenge for them.

ND has got Miami that could be a loss and who else, SMU? Ugh they’re the worst! Would love to see UGA lose to Florida this weekend! NW is a paper tiger imo.

Agree, I elaborated in an earlier post lol.

It was a nice play. Hookem

Yeah, except Moro Ojomo just walked off for Philly. Agent 0 has had 2 ACL surgeries I believe. Great to see him back.

I love the 24-team format. Bowl games have been a joke for too many years. Conference championships are a disadvantage to play. New format makes regular season even better and more meaningful for more teams. National champion will be settled on the field. Rewards teams who are improving the most, playing at highest level down the stretch. Two weeks of 8 games on campuses. December gonna be better than ever starting 2027.

Not a Cowboys fan but it is good to see Overshown healthy again.

OVERSHOWN PICK

Translation "I didn't spend all this money for you to get beat by double digits against Cincinnati"

I love it. It keeps more fanbases engaged for longer. Ideally Texas should expect to be in every year. Parity almost necessitates it to overcome conference strength and schedule disparities.

But to me, they could just change how they format the 12 teams instead of adding another 12 teams. Because you're then adding a bunch of not very good teams to the playoff race. I think 12 is a good spot. Do some tweaking with the time in between the end of regular season, conference title games and the playoffs. Rework the bowl game system. Seems like just adding 12 more teams to the playoffs is the easy way out for the "big brains"

I do agree with some of what you say because the issues were obvious before and people were saying "a win is a win" until you dropped two games in a row to unranked teams and almost did it again in similar fashion. I'm enjoying the win but similar issues are still there and I doubt they get fixed during the season. The changes that need to happen will be done in the off-season. For right now, you can only hope that we stop giving up points where we shouldn't. I'm still impressed this D held Ole Miss O to only 20 points. Chambliss and his WR's made some good plays. Thought coverage was good. Arch played above average, imo. Made some plays, made some boneheaded decisions but he let it rip, for the most part. Raleek was going off and Terry was a good compliment to him. Not sure if Coleman will be out but if he is him and Goosby being out will force Sark's hand on how he calls the Offense, imo. Anyway, great to get a win. Let's go beat those cowbells.

And as soon as I post this, they upload the segment on Texas...
