Shilo Sanders pregame: "I'll beat the f--- out of any one of y'all and y'all coach. ... Why y'all so little? ... We fittin' to run through y'all ass."
Shilo Sanders in-game:
On the day he was introduced as Oregon's coach, Dan Lanning said, "I’m not asking for you to trust me, I’m asking for an opportunity to earn your trust."
Think he's done that.
Dan Lanning: "The grass is damn green in Eugene and I want to be in Eugene for as long as Eugene will have me."
So yeah, Auburn ain't happening and was never happening.
Bucky Irving: “Oregon pretty much changed my life. They put me in an offense where I could showcase my talents at a high level, being able to do versatile things in the offense to help the team win games. Oregon has been, the people there took me in with open arms. I love…
If only Justin Herbert weren't an introvert, Juwan Johnson had a natural position and Kayvon Thibodeaux had a motor. TV pundits aren't in NFL personnel departments for a reason.
The funniest part of Jimmy Lake saying he doesn't think Washington has a recruiting rivalry with Oregon is that Mario Cristobal doesn't think so either.
Dillingham: "That’s a team that can win a national championship. If that team runs the table they deserve the opportunity because that’s 1 of the best football teams I’ve played in my opinion in my entire career. I’d put them up w/ the Georgia team I played last year in Week 1.”
Oregon lands 5-star QB Dante Moore. Huge addition for the Ducks. Highest ranked QB commitment in program history. Big day for Dan Lanning and Kenny Dillingham.
Jermaine Couisnard's family is in the front row across from the Oregon bench. His father and grandmother drove to Pittsburgh from East Chicago, Ind. because she doesn't fly and has not seen him play in-person since he's been at Oregon. They are going berserk.
Liberty coach Jamey Chadwell: "This is the only bowl game in America where everybody is opting in. That’s a credit to coach Lanning and the culture they have that guys want to play."
Oregon fans in Atlanta will enjoy this: There will be "a one minute version of 'Shout' at the beginning of the 3rd quarter break" of Saturday's game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, per the

Per ESPN, College GameDay’s visit to Eugene was up double digits from the Week 8 show a year ago, which also was Oregon vs. UCLA. Show averaged 1.9 million viewers, peaking with 2.8 million in the closing minutes.
Mykael Wright addressed the defensive holding penalty at the end of regulation vs. Stanford:
"It took me the rest of the day, plus went back the next day and watched it on film, still wasn’t over it. It just, I don’t know, probably one of the worst calls I’ve ever seen."
Spencer Webb had every reason to be angry at the world yet carried himself with enthusiasm and joy. May we all be so fortunate as to have his perspective and outlook on life.
An incredible moment in college football/social media history. A legit, honest, open conversation with people who matter taking part in a Twitter space about Oregon football.
Player parents, former playyers, media, UO coach, staff & the brother of a perspective candidate.
Oregon must make every effort to join the Big Ten. Bring whoever it takes; Washington, Arizona. This is survival of the fittest. Staying in a LA-less Pac-10 as the only football program that matters is not an option.
Dan Lanning halftime radio: "Don't beat ourselves. Really disappointing start. Really disappointing half. I don't care what the scoreboard says, we have a standard of play."
First 5* of the Dan Lanning era is Josh Conerly Jr. The No. 8 247Sports Composite rating (.9918) of any Oregon recruit all-time, narrowly topping Arik Armstead, and the 13th five-star in program history.
Utah places flowers at 4 yard line in NW corner or Autzen Stadium for late Oregon TE Spencer Webb. Oregon has painted the hashes at the 1, 15 and 41 in orange for Virginia’s Devin Chandler, Lavel Davis Jr. and D’Sean Perry, who were killed this week.
Oregon gave up the fewest sacks in the country and had 3 players earn 4 Pac-12 OL of the week honors during the season. None made first team all-conference by AP. I'm a voter and I don't know WTF we're doing here.
BREAKING: USC QB Caleb Williams is the unanimous choice as the AP player of the year in the Pac-12.
Utah CB Clark Phillips III was named defensive player of the year and Washington coach Kalen DeBoer earned coach of the year.
Full story:
Shout is definitely at the best it's been at MKA in years. Near capacity crowd, players into it, student section packed. Ass kicking on the court. Dan Lanning and recruits in the house.
Former Vikings GM Rick Spielman says Nick Saban has retained him as a consultant at Alabama related to NFL matters pertaining to players, advising their families and having input on loss of value insurance policies.
The lunatics who wanted Dana Altman fired are awfully quiet.
Oregon's job is not finished. It's an all of nothing proposition for the NCAA Tournament. But have some perspective on the best coach in program history, this team and this season.
Dan Lanning earned a $100,000 bonus for Oregon winning its 9th regular season game. He can earn $100,000 next week with a win and $100,000 more if Oregon earns a spot in the Pac-12 Championship game.
UO source says Oregon has NOT offered nor has the job been accepted by Dan Lanning or anyone else. Georgia DC is a candidate, but is NOT hired. At least not yet.
Chip Kelly: "It wasn't like we weren't prepared for their scheme. Everything they ran in the game they had run against everybody else during season. So there were no surprises. I just said watching Bo Nix play in person for the first time I was impressed with Bo as a player."
Football is getting ton of focus, but Oregon getting to play Indiana, Purdue, Iowa, Maryland, Michigan, Michigan State, Wisconsin, etc. in basketball is huge. UO will also immediately be among top teams in B1G in baseball, softball and volleyball.
Gus Malzahn has coached Auburn from preseason top 10 to unranked for the 2nd time in 4 years. Historically that gets coaches fired, but Malzahn has over 6 years & $42 million remaining on his contract thanks to Steven Leath. If only this wasn’t totally foreseeable.
