You mean springtucky?  I kid....I kid.

I'm a small town Eastern OR guy, so Corvallis is about my speed......live in Salem now, and I'm trying to get my wife to move back to a sunnier, 4 seasons kinda climate.  The Reno area is fantastic, imo.....I miss it for many reasons.

Not to mention the tax savings.....

 

[gump]

Bryce Young did what Starr, Namath, Stabler, Barker, McCarron, Tua, Jones couldn’t…perfect timing and talent.

 

[Manster]

Not to mention the tax savings.....

Taxes are great.  Lots of public land.  I miss being able to hike with my dogs, shoot my guns, etc....all within a few minutes of my house.  The Willamette valley is locked up in comparison.......I like wide open spaces

 

[BeTheMatch]

So Lanning was apparently second choice (at least) behind Joe Wilcox, who said no to the Ducks' offer.

 

[Tom Servo]

Christmas decoration winner.

 

[WDIK2]

"Rumor" of Ryan Day to the Bears. If that ends up being true, this has to be the wildest coaching carousel season ever.    

 

[McBokonon]

First the fake Southern accent, now this beautiful video.

Brian Kelly to LSU might be the best gift college football has given us this year.

 

[gump]

AU starting QB Nix (AU legacy from former QB and current AU radio announcer)…and starting RB Tank Bigsby are both entering the portal.

 

[Tom Servo]

Bad news for @Steve Tasker - Buffalo will open the 2028 season against the Bucknuts. UB will get a cool $1.9 million for the game at the Shoe. 

 

[Desert_Power]

Tank Bigsby is a huge loss, he's very good.  

 

[gump]

Tank Bigsby is a huge loss, he's very good.  

Yea...he's rumored to be going to UGA.  Nix maybe to LSU.  Things don't seem to be going ideally for Harsin...but maybe he's cleaning house.

 

[McBokonon]

Spencer Rattler’s going to South Carolina per Spencer Rattler.

 

[Desert_Power]

Spencer Rattler’s going to South Carolina per Spencer Rattler.

Yay?

 

[JaxBill]

@woodywhitehurst: Lincoln Riley: “I’m leaving for USC.”

Spencer Rattler: “can I come too?”

Riley: “Sure, meet you there”

*Rattler arrives in Columbia*

“Wait a minute…”

 

[In The Zone]

Spencer Rattler’s going to South Carolina per Spencer Rattler.

He's not coming alone either. 

Oklahoma TE Austin Stogner is transferring to Carolina as well and rumor has it that WR Theo Wease will transfer to the Gamecocks also. 

#BeamerBall

 

[In The Zone]

Yay?

He will still be running alot unless the OL shows drastic improvement. 

 

[culdeus]

What's the link here?  Seems sort of random

Huge for the program and a great boost for BeamerBall... and recruiting.  Exciting things happening in Columbia. 

 

[In The Zone]

Stogner

There’s no link for Wease just alot of chatter locally. 

 

[Poke_4_Life]

What's the link here?  Seems sort of random 

Beamer used to coach at OU, was AHC and TE Coach from 2018-2020.

 

[psychobillies]

Y'all remember when signing day used to be cool?

 

[JaxBill]

Y'all remember when signing day used to be cool?

Remember when people used fax machines the other 364 days of the year?

 

[Capella]

Y'all remember when signing day used to be cool?

Yea they kinda killed that didn’t they? 

 

[psychobillies]

Yea they kinda killed that didn’t they? 

Yep.  Hope it's not a sign of things to come for the direction of college football in general.  This free agency business combined with the NIL stuff seems not very well thought out.  

 

[JaxBill]

Napier trying to save this class that was ranked in the 70s

@zach_goodall: Boom: Naples (Fla.) DB Devin Moore signs with Florida over Notre Dame.

As he picked up the Florida hat at his table, Moore said "scared money don't make money."

[JaxBill]

FSU OC heading to Oregon on ESD. Hmmmm.

 

[JaxBill]

Wild rumor that FSU 5 star recruit Travis Hunter is flipping.... to Jackson State and Deion. Mind bottling if true.

 

[JaxBill]

@PickSixPreviews: Nation's #1 recruit Travis Hunter appears to be decommitting from Florida State

Per @SWiltfong247 there is serious momentum to FCS Jackson State (Deion Sanders head coach)

#1 Recruit going to the FCS would be unprecedented Recruiting History

FSU just extended Norvell yesterday, for some insane reason    

 

[JaxBill]

Taking away the specific schools, for a 5* to sign FCS, my first inclination is he must have some really bad grades...or he got a really large NIL bag delivered.

 

[JaxBill]

Maybe Barstool sports wrote  check

@georgewrighster: Deion Sanders called his shot yesterday. Was he referring to Travis Hunter? Could it be more than just 1 guy? https://twitter.com/barstoolsports/status/1470894271960076288/video/1

 

[Capella]

Apparently he’s going to Jackson State. Hate to see it for FSU but love to see it for a HBCU.

until he leaves there next year for Tallahassee 

 

[Capella]

until he leaves there next year for Tallahassee 

Deion? Or Hunter? 

 

[JaxBill]

Deion? Or Hunter? 

I meant Deion but they might be a package deal.

 

[Capella]

I meant Deion but they might be a package deal.

I would assume if Deion ever left there his too recruits would go with him, for sure. 
 

As much as it would be interesting to see Deion at FSU, starting over again would be another nightmare for the program. 

 

[jb1020]

Hell Yeah!  This is verifiable the coolest Jackson MS has ever been.   I had really figured Deion would be gone at the first opportunity, and I'm sure he will at some point, but this is fun around here.

That bar is pretty low there, fella.

But yeah, this is pretty cool for Jackson, MS.  Walter Payton was a LONG time ago. 

 

[General Malaise]

FSU OC heading to Oregon on ESD. Hmmmm.

Kenny.  Dillingham.

Que Sera Sera closed in 2016.  That was rock bottom.  We're on the rise now.

$$$ to play juco ball is a no brainer? 

 

[Capella]

Kenny.  Dillingham. 

Our payback for Willie. Kenny is terrible, they put up like 17 points on an fcs team, enjoy. 

 

[SHIZNITTTT]

OU Football Signees:

4 Star RB Gavin Sawchuk

4 Star WR Jayden Gibson

4 Star OT Jake Taylor

4 Star LB Kobie McKinzie

4 Star QB Nick Evers

4 Star LB Kip Lewis

4 Star WR Nicholas Anderson

4 Star WR Robert Spears-Jennings

4 Star OT Jacob Sexton

4 Star CB Jayden Rowe

3 Star TE Jason Llewellyn

3 Star DL Cedric Roberts

3 Star DL Alton Tarber

hopefully OU lands Jaren Kanak.   not a bad class (top 10) after Riley bolted.   

 

[General Malaise]

Que Sera Sera closed in 2016.  That was rock bottom.  We're on the rise now.  

Glad I got back there one last time in 2013 before it closed.  Had the red beans and rice and good god had I forgotten how terrific theirs was. 

RIP Que Sera Sera

We're just not allowed to have nice things.  :(

All signs point to Caleb Williams staying but we shall see.

$1.5 mil is the rumor.  Barstool/Penn National Gaming.

Lol middle of the season I thought he was getting fired. Offense rebounded nicely but never thought anybody would want him. 

 

[General Malaise]

Lol middle of the season I thought he was getting fired. Offense rebounded nicely but never thought anybody would want him. 

I'm almost positive that the most successful path forward to hiring 'sticky' coaches who will remain with a program for years and build a winner is to hire two young, inexperienced southern boys and drop them into Eugene, Oregon, thousands of miles away from fertile recruiting ground and mama's home cooking.  What on earth could possibly go wrong here?

 

[whoknew]

A laughing Jimbo Fisher on Finebaum: “There were a lot of NIL deals going on before all this was going on, they just weren’t legal. Nobody told nobody.”

Sounds right.
