I just think it is funny because it isn't his quote, don't give him the credit. That is sort of like giving credit to Aerosmith for singing Come Together, despite it being the Beatles song. You don't have to follow running either, it is a famous quote.
Agreed. I don't normally want personal fouls but this year I wouldn't mind a little bit of good ol' Dennis Erickson. I would probably cheer on a player who fought back, even if they were ejected. It would show me that the player cares. It is clear to me that the refs are only calling let hits on QB's out of bounds, everyone has been fair game for years. The Beavers need to know that the refs aren't calling the games right, that means they can take their dirty shots and get away with it. Heck, maybe it will take a brawl in a game before the refs start to call the games right.
Quite a few coaches will tell you showing a video of someone else's successes doesn't accomplish anything. The video may inspire the athlete but it doesn't make them a better athlete. The athlete has to want the success from within their own heart.
HAHAHAHAHAHA! Seriously, that is a Steve Prefontaine quote (old UO Runner), who ironically did sacrifice the gift by dying in a drunk driving accident.
I definitely think that the defense we run doesn't work. It seems that Riley has a lot of faith in his coaches, it doesn't mean we have to. Riley is blinded by his loyalty to Banker, he doesn't see that this defense has been on a steep decline since the end of 2008. Also, it seems that some of the fan base is giving Riley a pass now. The idea seems to be, "well Coach is working hard, it's just the players fault." Anytime the players aren't executing look to the coaches. It is the coaches job to get everyone ready to play, physically and mentally. Also, it is their job to evaluate talent and recruit guys who can play the game.
I think he has every right to slight the lineman. They clearly aren't trying for him. He is gunna get hurt with the way blocks keep getting missed. Only thing that he risks right now is that the lineman will purposefully miss blocks, not sure if they weren't already. The line has clearly already quit.
Disgusted, the only word to describe how I feel after that game. This team clearly lacks heart. They may be great athletes but this team simply doesn't have football players. The small bright spot on the otherwise poor history of OSU football may have been blotted out. 11/13/10 may be the day OSU football died.
Over-under on Ducks total points in the CW? 120?
Amen! Acceptance of mediocrity led us to 10th in the pac-10.
Pull your head out and watch the game again. If you are going to slam any single player it is Pankey. He is a coward, he simply will not tackle unless it is simply to dive on a pile after the play. Roberson may not be playing well but Pankey may be the worst college player to ever play the game.
One can hope that is a Portland State type team.
