Wow brother, just wow. Do yo talk this much trash about all of the other P12 teams, my guess is not. The fact is the Ducks had a far easier P12 schedule- no USC, Utah and WA at home.

Wow brother, just wow. Do yo talk this much trash about all of the other P12 teams, my guess is not. The fact is the Ducks had a far easier P12 schedule- no USC, Utah and WA at home. Your toughest road games were WA State and.... OSU. You nearly lost to WA State, but they Couged it. Then your team came to Reser and got beat- even with our QB gift wrapping two INT's. You can keep deflecting to say how bad the basketball team was last year, and appears to be this year- you'll get no argument from me there. But in the end our football team dominated yours in the first and fourth quarters in the only real Civil War game that matters, and owned the scoreboard when the clock showed zeros. It's a tough pill to swallow, but there it is- I suggest swallowing it quickly and quietly.
Good one...not sure what the basketball team has to do with the Civil War game. Nothing. But Mr Duck keeps bringing it up. Might as well bring up the baseball program then. The Beavs own the Ducks on the diamond. Back to basketball, I am afraid Tinkle is not the answer everyone hoped. He is like a throwback to Ralph Miller in terms of game structure (half court game channeled through a big man) and discipline. That probably does not work in 2022. Miller's secret was bringing African-American players to OSU. Previously the program was lily white in what became an urban-dominated game. Now, the change is to basketball the kids will enjoy playing (up tempo) so that the better urban kids can be recruited to a quasi-rural environment. Recruiting in African and East European nations is also a winner. This can work. Eugene is hardly more black or urban than Corvallis and so that is not the reason for their success. And Gonzaga is a top 16 program year after year in Eastern Washington. There is a formula out there that will work, but Tinkle doesn't have it. He can't rely on the kids of his assistants to get to the Sweet 16. I think the team should move on and keep looking for the secret sauce for b-ball.
