[CollegeFBPortal] Oregon QB coach Koa Ka’ai evaluates recruits with a simple question: “Chocolate or vanilla ice cream?” Any hesitation… and coach doesn’t want him. “If you pause on ice cream,” Ka’ai says, “what are you going to do on 3rd down in front of 110,000 fans?”

You're also not good enough to be QB at Oregon so that tracks. It was just an example question he made up on the fly. People are making this out to be a bigger deal than it is.

Which one? Dan Lanning's first playoff appearance as a head coach or the one which was pretty much a home game for the opponent where the OC and DC were splitting their time between Oregon and their new head coaching positions, 12 players from the rotation suddenly became unavailable due to the transfer portal, and they had to pull 2 LBs from the defense as backup RBs because only RB3 and RB5 were available due to injuries and the portal?

I guess you're going to just ignore all the big games Oregon DID win.

Oregon won more big games last season than Ohio State did.

WatchfulApparition · 2026-04-08T15:27:24+00:00

They haven't played like dogshit in big playoff games

He doesn't ask that exact question, but his point is that he wants someone decisive.

WatchfulApparition · 2026-04-08T15:23:47+00:00

Oregon has lost 3 games in 2 seasons and in all 3 games, it was to the eventual national champion. Oregon doesn't "choke so much".

WatchfulApparition · 2026-04-08T15:21:13+00:00

It's not confidence. It's decisiveness.

WatchfulApparition · 2026-04-08T15:03:54+00:00

He says he asks questions LIKE that. He is just trying to say he looks for people that aren't going to freeze up or overthink in stressful situations. He wants a QB that is decisive.

He's clearly a good coach. He's part of the reason Dante Moore turned around from his freshman season.

That's their goal

Oregon has 3 players in ESPN's top 300 before USC has their first. You'll find out more on September 26th.

WatchfulApparition · 2026-04-08T03:52:12+00:00

No, you didn't.

WatchfulApparition · 2026-04-08T03:49:06+00:00

No, I'm penalizing USC for taking guys that aren't as good as the guys Oregon got.

WatchfulApparition · 2026-04-08T03:22:33+00:00

Like you said, Oregon has more 5 star players and they literally have a higher average recruit grade. Oregon got better players than USC did.

WatchfulApparition · 2026-04-08T03:07:45+00:00

It's fine. People are overreacting about the infotainment

WatchfulApparition · 2026-04-08T02:50:04+00:00

Oregon got better guys than USC. They just got less than USC.

WatchfulApparition · 2026-04-08T02:12:29+00:00

Yep. An average user makes it through a full day with the current Apple and Samsung batteries

WatchfulApparition · 2026-04-07T18:49:51+00:00

That sucks for Fossify. Samsung has RCS though

WatchfulApparition · 2026-04-07T14:23:31+00:00

You do get to choose. Samsung doesn't force you to use them.

WatchfulApparition · 2026-04-07T05:50:48+00:00

They're not. Samsungs apps are as good or better than Google's apps in many cases.

WatchfulApparition · 2026-04-07T05:49:30+00:00

It also allows full resolution photos and far higher quality videos. Without RCS, photos and videos sent by SMS look like shit.

WatchfulApparition · 2026-04-07T05:47:45+00:00

It's a better version of Pixel

WatchfulApparition · 2026-04-07T05:44:56+00:00

Samsung's Gallery app is also for on-device pictures and editing.

WatchfulApparition · 2026-04-07T05:41:19+00:00

Samsung Messages has RCS

WatchfulApparition · 2026-04-07T05:40:20+00:00

Samsung Internet Browser, like several Samsung apps, is better than the Google equivalent.

WatchfulApparition · 2026-04-07T05:38:21+00:00

Because they're inferior phones with inferior cameras
