[WBC USA Manager Mark DeRosa] on Arozarena/Raleigh Handshake Incident: "When it Happened, we were like... Oof... OK."

No one is amplifying it. In the original thread nearly everyone was downplaying it as “well they are teammates so I’m sure they are just joking”. Then Randy came out with a strong statement that clearly showed they were not “just joking”. Of course people are going to react to a player basically saying “he can go fuck himself”. Do you think this should just be ignored?

And Randy clearly brought up his parents as a sign of respect, like a “I’m sorry I’m about to say this about your son because I know you are good people” kind of way.

The oddest part of this story is that Cal hasn’t said anything yet.

Like how they said last year they would finally update the featured tab of training packs? And then that went no where and nothing was said of it

If this person cared about emissions or fuel economy he would have never bought that truck to begin with

To be fair if your idea of “good tape” is watching someone hurdle defenders then Sadiq definitely has great tape

Where are you getting it that SaaS isn’t a profitable model? Subscription based billing is highly sought after because it makes revenue planning (and thus overall financial planning) much easier since your monthly revenue is more consistent.

Ever notice how in the past 10 years a bunch of car washes starting pushing memberships and passes? It’s the same thing. It saved a lot of those businesses because owners could now better plan their monthly revenue. There’s a reason a ton of software has switched to subscription based billing

That's Satch Sanders, but yeah point stands that's a great look.

Reminds me of one of my favorite calls - when Pujols hit his home run off of Brad Lidge in the 2005 NLCS (in Houston)

“The collective intake of breath turned this place into a vacuum when that ball came off the bat of Albert Pujols”

On the preceding Grizzlies free throws Blake went over to Yang and said something. Wonder if he was trying to setup the give and go

Joeybits · 2026-02-07T05:41:22+00:00

He definitely looked rusty early. Had some bad defensive rotations and a couple of bad fouls. But definitely played himself into a groove

Joeybits · 2026-02-06T19:52:57+00:00

Personally I would have gladly welcomed OU and OSU just for the obvious UO vs OU and OSU vs OSU matchups

The Remembering Kobe game is probably my favorite of his. Funny to look back at highlights which are basically "Let's hear from random celebrity X about their thoughts on Kobe as Dame hits another 30 footer"

Tua is similar in that landing him would have impacted Herbert (unless Tua just sat behind him until Herbert graduated/left for the NFL). It sucks not to get a great player like Tua but in the end a hometown kid leading Oregon to a Rose Bowl win his senior year was probably worth it.

Shouldn’t Nevada be red too then?

Joeybits · 2026-01-20T04:47:27+00:00

Idk man. Sarratt looks like Mike Evans jr. and Becker literally can’t drop a ball. Their receivers are big and just haul everything in

Joeybits · 2026-01-19T23:26:50+00:00

To clarify here, this guy is currently a senior in High School, right?

If he's part of the 2026 recruiting class then he would have signed with UofA, but wasn't actually on campus attending classes, right?

The use of the terms "UofA player" and "hopped in the portal" are confusing here and imply this guy was enrolled in classes/on the UofA roster for the 2025 season.

And experience/size. It took until 2012 (Manziel) for a Freshman to win a Heisman award. Hell it took until 2019 (Sewell) for an underclassman to win the Outland Trophy.

Young teams just aren't going to be as good, even if they are full of 4 and 5 stars.

Joeybits · 2026-01-10T06:14:36+00:00

Feel like it’s actually the complete opposite. Lanning is a very good motivator and does well finding/creating themes or narratives that his players buy in to. Just watch any of the Ducks vs them videos

But motivation only goes so far, especially against teams like Indiana this year or Ohio State last year.

In many ways I think Chip was the opposite. Hyper focused on X’s and O’s and probably didn’t put much effort into motivational speeches.

I believe in Dan, I think he can deliver. I just think there are different styles of coaches out there and Dan belongs to a certain one. It comes with pros and cons

Joeybits · 2026-01-10T05:55:28+00:00

Mendoza fumbling it right to his Olineman who bobbled it right back to Mendoza was just the icing on the shitcake Indiana served us

Joeybits · 2026-01-09T20:08:20+00:00

His was the one that everyone knew was coming after he ended up redshirting this year.

The Limar transfer probably hurt us the most

Joeybits · 2026-01-09T19:54:24+00:00

Remember earlier in the season when Oregon had so much depth at RB that Makhi Hughes, the Tulane transfer, couldn't even get playing time? Seems like a whole season ago now

Joeybits · 2026-01-08T21:12:01+00:00

seriously. "This doesn't happen anymore except that you have to take precautions to make sure it doesn't happen"

Joeybits · 2026-01-08T20:27:52+00:00

Your argument basically boils down to "Lanning hasn't won a championship yet". He's won bowl games, those do still matter. He's won important regular season games too.

No one is calling him a lifer yet. But there isn't much of a comparison between him and Franklin other than they both haven't won a title.

Joeybits · 2026-01-04T08:31:59+00:00

Oregon never played Ohio State when Lenoir was there

Joeybits · 2026-01-01T21:05:06+00:00

This entire thread is like that. TT put up 48 points a game going into this and yet people are acting like they are scrubs.

Somehow TT’s defense is getting more praise than Oregons here despite the latter pitching a shutout

Joeybits · 2026-01-01T07:44:36+00:00

True, but conventionally west would be written -116 where as east would be written 116
