I realize that we're not going to be on that channel but do you think it goes into the thinking of other channels to not put one of their top games opposite the premier SEC match-up of the day?

This doesn't seem to be stopping many people - including you I think - from claiming that we have the most talent ever. So which way is it? Are we waiting or are we claiming right now that we have the most talent ever? First, I don't think recruiting rankings are necessarily worth all that much. Case in point: "Jake Hammond is a Rivals150 recruit!!!" Second, I have no idea if there even were recruiting rankings to be had in the 90s. Unless you can show them, how do you know the current players were ranked more highly?

Feel free to do the entire team.

Not sure if this will affect the kick time for the Oregon game but I'm not sure it helps....

Broke his foot in OTAs. Had surgery and expected to be out 10-12 weeks - possibly all of training camp.

And here's another one for your consideration: 92-93 PG - Jamar Johnson - 6-0 - 9.8 ppg, 3.3 apg, 1.7 spg SG - Eric Piatkowski - 6-7 - 16.7 ppg, 2.5 apg, 1.1 spg SF - Terrance Badgett - 6-6 - 6.7 ppg, 3.5 rpg PF - Bruce Chubick - 6-7 - 8.4 ppg, 5.7 rpg, 0.6 bpg C - Derrick Chandler - 6-10 - 11.2 ppg, 8.1 rpg, 1.7 bpg

Didn't want to derail the other tread. I see a lot of claims that we now have the most talent ever. I say we probably have the most talent in the last 20 years - for sure at the 1-3 spots - but I don't think we really have the most talent ever. As an exercise, given these two starting lineups, which players would you choose off of each team to make your own starting five? And who would win between these two teams? 95-96 PG - Tyronn Lue - 6-0 - 8.5 ppg, 4.1 apg, 1.4 spg SG - Erick Strickland - 6-3 - 14.7 ppg, 3.4 apg, 1.7 spg SF - Jaron Boone - 6-6 - 13.8 ppg, 3.8 apg PF - Bernard Garner - 6-7 - 10.7 ppg, 6.3 rpg, 0.6 bpg C - Mikki Moore - 6-11 - 9.0 ppg, 5.9 rpg, 2.0 bpg Three of these guys played quite awhile in the NBA 15-16 PG - Glynn Watson - 6-0 - 8.6 ppg, 2.4 apg, 1.2 spg SG - Anton Gill - 6-3 - 2.5 ppg, 0.7 rpg (two years ago at Louisville) SF - Andrew White - 6-7 - 16.6 ppg, 0.6 apg, 1.1 spg PF - Michael Jacobson - 6-8 - 4.7 ppg, 4.3 rpg, 0.8 bpg C - Jordy Tshimanga - 6-11 - Freshman

Who ya got? It'll be interesting to see how the Cavs do. LeBron put up crazy numbers last year. But a lot of that was probably because he didn't have any help (thus, he had the ball all the time). The Cavs can actually hit the three which the Thunder couldn't do. O/U should probably be about 230. I think the Cavs are good enough to at least win a couple. But I think the Warriors are just too good. I say Warriors in 7.

I'm assuming you mean "... in the last 20 years", right?

Confirmed his OV for the Oregon game. Also has an OV set with Oklahoma. Looking at Arizona and Oregon for other OVs.

Do you really think that or are you just hoping? That game is going to be a VERY close game if NW's defense plays the way it did last season. History would say that it will be a close game. But that's because we've mostly been stupid. Their defense wouldn't look nearly as good if we don't run it right into the middle of the line 80% of the time.

If it's really been upgraded as much as many are saying, shouldn't that be the number one reason why better results should be expected?
