I didn't think this would be that bad and Oregon would get a “hand slap” from the ncaa, turns out Oregon got a “high 5” instead.  Biggest difference between UO and tOSU, USC is that Oregon didn't lie or turn their back on the ncaa.  Most of the sanctions from the ncaa in this report Oregon already did last year.  Not a big deal, GO DUCKS!!  WTD!!

Looks like a whole lotta nothing to me !

Got out of work today at my normal time of 1:00 P.M. and had to go dowtown for an appointment... What a F***ING nightmare with the media circus surrounding Aaron Hernandez`s bail review hearing at the Superior Court for this jurisdiction ... Gonna get even worse I`m afraid when this finally goes to trial because it is gonna be right here in the same courthouse right smack in the middle of my home city :affraid:Cannot believe how this stupid 23 year old kid has thrown his life right down the drain and ruined the rest of the lives of his girlfriend and mother of his 8 month old child
 
As if he was not already going up the river for the rest of his life for killing this 27 year old friend this new bombshell just gets dropped today as Hernandez is now being implicated in the triple shooting that left 2 more people dead last July 2012 in Boston.....
 
Law enforcement sources confirmed to ABC News that Hernandez also is being investigated for his possible involvement in an unsolved triple shooting in Boston that left two men dead last year. On July 16, a car was ambushed in Boston's South End, and two gunshot wound victims were pronounced dead at the scene, sources confirmed to ABC News.
 
Hernandez was seen in a nightclub altercation earlier that night, according to sources. Fox 25 in Boston earlier reported that Hernandez is being investigated in connection with the shootings.
 
The SUV in question that night has been found and it turned out that it was registered under Hernandez`s name x.... Like I said last night on here this guy can ROT IN HELL for the rest of his life !!!!!!

Thanks chit.  Two questions, why the Stanford helmet?  Oregon has lost three P12 games in the last four years two to Stanford, both probably cost Oregon a shot at the BCSNCG.  

Second Question, only one Oregon helmet?  













   

I root for Stanford when they play the likes of USC, OREGON ST. , UCLA, Washington , Washington st  .....You know the DUCKS rivals .......


And i was hopeing just 1 OREGON helmet would be enough .... but you never know which one they will use ......


By the way .....15 DAYS.....till we get some preseason

It was kind of a joke, Stanford is my second favorite P12 team.  The ones I don't like are OSU, UW, USC and ASU.  40 days and 42 min till Oregon kicks off, but who's counting.

OMG ........   


If you're tired of Alabama football, better not watch this season because it will probably be Nick Saban hoisting the crystal football in 2014 for the third time in a row and the fourth time in five years.


1. Alabama: The Crimson Tide will likely start in the Polls No.1 as they try to capture their third straight BCS title and their fourth in five years. QB AJ McCarron (2922 yds. 30 TD) returns for his senior season as he tries to get a third ring on his finger. Receivers Amari Cooper (1000 yds. 11 TD) and Kevin Norwood (461 yds. 4 TD) will help him achieve that goal. The only thing standing in the way of Alabama's title run is the semi-depleted secondary (S Vinnie Sunseri (52 TOT) and CB Deion Belue (36 TOT) only returning starters) and September 14th when they travel to College Station to take on the Aggies of Texas A&M. If Alabama can overcome those two things, Crimson Tide fans can expect another title in Tuscaloosa (or at least a title appearance).


They forgot a few .......

7 Kenny Bell Wide Receiver SR 6-1/180
4 T.J. Yeldon Running Back SO 6-2/218 1L Daphne, Ala. (Daphne)
45 Jalston Fowler Running Back JR 6-1/250
2 DeAndrew White Wide Receiver JR 6-0/190 2L
1 Dee Hart Running Back SO 5-9/187
17 Kenyan Drake Running Back SO 6-1/201 1L


WE SHALL SEE .......      


Let's not forget about this kid he's gotta arm on him and can fly on his feet ...... 

15 Parker McLeod Quarterback FR 6-3/193

Well the Steelers are in camp here in Latrobe at St Vincient College. Was going to go watch practice, but looks like thunderstorms. I'll wait and see what the weather looks closer to 3.

    



Media picks Oregon to win Pac-12

CULVER CITY, Calif. -- Even with new coach Mark Helfrich taking over for Chip Kelly at Oregon, the expectations around the high-flying Ducks haven't changed.

The media is picking Oregon to win the Pac-12 title, edging Stanford and UCLA in the preseason media poll announced Friday at the conference's media day.

Oregon received 14 of the 25 first-place votes for the Pac-12 North Division in the poll, earning 139 points. The defending Rose Bowl champion Cardinal, who might be even deeper than last season's team, received 11 first-place votes and 134 points.

OK to sign away, all you want , as long as no money changes hands . Makes me wonder if it's ....much to do about nothing ......and what if anything will be done to any of the players .    What needs to happen, is pass a law that says if you approach a player in any way to make money(for you or them) .....YOU GO TO JAIL FOR A VERY LONG TIME !

And let that be the end of the discussion ! Lock up the PREDATORS !
