Yep, looks pretty much like everyone here in Portland (girls included). One of the reasons I'm planning on leaving in the next couple of years once my daughter gets out of middle school. Portland was a cool, easy going place when I moved here 13 years ago. Not anymore.

Is it because of all the Cali rejects moving up there?

This is a total farce, just a complete joke, and I guarantee you that espn will let it slide right on by without really questioning it.

I guarantee you McMurphy won't let it slide. ESPN isn't the only media outlet. There are plenty of other ones that are keeping this in the forefront.

Guys I think we hired the wrong S&C coach. We should've gotten the guy Oregon hired.

Juicer or not Grier can play, if you are expecting him to fold like Glennon under pressure...then you are going to be surprised..in a bad way.

He didn’t do well against pressure vs every decent team they played last year. I do think he’s a good QB but he, nor that offense is some juggernaut that can’t be stopped. They feasted on poor competition last year.

While searching for this S&C coach I went down an Internet rabbit hole and wound up watching ‘98 UT-Ark highlights. I’m jacked right about now. Also, man those players looked exponentially larger than what we have today.

I hope so, but I have very little faith that the ADD horde serving media will hold their feet to the fire. Urban, his staff and OSU are all filth.

The reason I saw him was the Athletic has an article about him. I saw the pic and decided I'd rather make fun of him in here than read the article. hahaha

Like I said earlier today, I will believe our defense is "good competition" when I see it. I think it will be better, but how much is a huge question for me.

I think we will be a lot better, but I don’t really have anything to base that on other than my own feelings. I think we have some players, and some holes, but I’m really confident in Pruitt and the whole staff.

I hope I’m right 😁

I hope you're right too. I would hate to be right about this.

We have a lot of people moving up here from California, but other places also (Texas, Nevada, Montana). Most be the legal Pot. But housing and overall cost of living is becoming insane. Portland's city government is a mess, downtown is a nasty and they keep building apartment and condo's everywhere. They are basically driving out families (on purpose) and turning Portland into a smaller version of San Francisco. It's sad really, I loved Portland when I move here. It was clean, people were very nice, almost no traffic and it had a easy going vibe. It's none of those things anymore.

every mid sized metro area is going thru the same things. i've been in Charlotte for 20 years, and when i moved here, it was exactly how you described Portland. clean down town area, traffic wasn't bad etc....

and as more and more people move out of the huge metro areas and more and more companies move headquarters or larger facilities in to those areas for lower costs/tax advantages, populations rises, infrastructure must change, and you go thru those growing pains.

good news, property values are soaring right now, so i'm happy about that. ;)

If anybody can skate on this, it's Urban Meyer. And if any school is willing to let him, it's OSU. Water finds its own level.

I wonder how big of an impact this will have on the title IX investigation at the end of the day. If you're under a microscope for it and still sweep these issues under a rug, you deserve to be bankrupt.
