    Oregon suing player

    The NCAA has no teeth. Worse than a paper tiger. As for the kids and their representation; no question that the best possible advice and so forth should be afforded these kids and their families. That said, no amount of the best lawyers in the world will come to a hill of squat when a 17 YO...

    2026 Pirates Thread

    Man, if Rodriguez can stay healthy and hit a few curves that side of the Buc's battery all of the sudden would be a strength.

    2027 Recruiting Thread

    We/everyone needs to stop referring to this process as 'recruiting'. These are pay offs. And it amazes me how much cash is flowing to 17 year olds with no discussions of contracts. This is not a 'system' it's a cluster. An unsustainable cluster.

    Time to hire the plane with the trailing banner for os'u' football games. We could all pitch in.

    Another 1960 Pittsburgh Pirate has died.

    Fair, good catch! Interesting that Daniels was a part of the Pirates team in 1960. He pitched a lot of innings that season. And there is a dispute as to whether he was on their roster for the WS. Despite being a prominent part of the pitching staff all season, he does not have any sort of...

    Another 1960 Pittsburgh Pirate has died.

    Pretty sure Vern Law is the only one left alive from the 1960 WS roster.

    Thanks Tom

    Took my dear grandmother Rose to Riverside every Thursday for a long time. Loved the Riverboats! Lots of great stuff like that in that area back in the day. There was a department store named Hill's that had the best popcorn. And K-mart in Altoona had the best hogies I've eaten to this...

    Terry Smith on Drew Allar: “Our system wasn’t built for him.”

    Didn't Hackenberg say the same thing about CJF? That he wanted him to become this RPO guy in a single off-season? I seem to recall this. I'm not sure, frankly, who the offense was built for. For example, I was never sure who was pushing for all of the BS gadget crap that they had inserted...

    2027 Recruiting Thread

    Kraft hates Nike, and the feeling is mutual for Nike. Nike owns O-gon fball. Just like Mark Cuban owns Indiana, that weird Florida dude that owns Miami, etc. 'College' football is in full transition mode to ownership by billionaire alums and certain corporations related to sports. We have a...

    Letter to the Editor: Penn State’s Failed Experiment (The Curse of Joe Paterno)

    As a retired Administrator I can assure you that you cannot always have a backup plan in place before you must act to dismiss an employee. There were many times that I had to let someone go while knowing that I would have to do all of my job and all of that person's job until a suitable...

    '26 NFL News thread

    Too bad about Jones. The Steelers put it out there last week that they aren't planning to pick up his 5th year option. They've known that Jones may never play again for more than a month now. Seems like a nice kid. He might have a chance at a comeback in another year or two, but it most...
