It looks like chaos in Washington State College Football. U of W fired Jimmy Lake today. Washington State already fired their head coach and a bunch of assistants. Hate to see this because it's the players that suffer.

WSU was the guy that wouldn't get vaxxed, right?

That's the guy. And the U of W coach is the guy that smacked one of his players in the facemask and then shoved him in the back. All caught on camera. He's also the guy that made the comment about academic prowess and how his team was competing with teams that had more than Oregon. He should have taken a lesson in professional prowess from the Oregon coach when we beat their ass in their own house. If he had he might still have a job.

It's a sad state of affairs when the football coach at Whichever State U is the highest paid state employ in that state. So called teachers. Football could use a few Hams.

sadly college football is the farm system for the NFL and not based on getting a 4 yr degree

Ham's players that didn't make it to the NBA almost all walked with their class at graduation. Some of the NBA guys have got their degrees later on too.

it's probably got something to do with the avg lifespan of an NFL career is like 4 years. money talks. get it while you can. and before your brain becomes mush with CTE.

The University of Oregon Board of Trustees on Thursday approved a new six-year, $27.3 million contract for football coach Mario Cristobal.

$4.55 million a year. Crazy. At least he's doing a good job. Much better than he did at FIU. I sure hope he doesn't pull a Willie Taggart or Slick Willy as he's known around these parts and is persona non grata.

Where is Slick Willy slithering around at these days after getting fired by Florida State? Oh yeah, he's at Florida Atlantic. I'm actually glad he left when he did because we ended up getting a much better coach.

Iv been saying that for years. Lots of people do not understand they only see a given set of STARTING players year in and year out. All those roster fill ins and 3rd string. They still work for the league. And they get paid. But on average. Like you said. About 3.5 to 4 years lmao. (Exceptions to Tom Brady lmfao)
But then you have Andrew luck. Retired in prime. Smart. Got the money and left.

$180,000 deal for the woman's swim coach averaging a measly $30,000 yearly salary. LOL.
Oregon doesn't have an actual swim team. They have a swim "club". But yeah $30,000 is pretty low.

It's all about the money and the football program generates tens of millions. Enough to cover the losses from the other sports programs.

I turn on the Ohio / Michigan game and am shocked to see Ohio up 35-0 with 10 minutes left in the second quarter. Holy crap.

It is the Ohio state Michigan state game
Big difference I hope
That is an epic beat down going on. 7 TDs in one half. I am afraid the Wolverines are going to face a similar fate next weekend. Ohio State has such explosive skill players. Michigan and Michigan State don’t have the speed and depth to hang when the Buckeyes are rolling. I detest OSU but it is the truth right now.

Edit: @xtsho - Oregon got them early in the year but that win over Ohio State looks even more impressive in hindsight for your Ducks.

Uh oh, Oregon down by 28 at half to Utah.
No surprise. Like I said in an earlier post Oregon always chokes. I was hoping they wouldn't but was expecting it. History has a way of repeating itself.

Oh well there's always next year.
