Pelosi was an infinitely better coach than Riley, there’s not even a question…
Oregon Coach Dan Lanning has warning for the Big Ten

Believe me, sitting in a stadium in the cold, raining PNW is no walk in the park. We only made it through one football season in Seattle.
Lol… damned spellcheck. Hope Bo doesn’t know he turns into Pelosi sometimes…
I think his success at UCF went to his head. He thought he would be able to succeed here without having to put much effort into his job.
How many national titles does Oregon have with all the Nike money. How many have Texas won since Vinve young with all the Texas oil money. It takes more than just the money to get wins. A lot of programs with money but players make plays. Name any team without a solid Heisman candidate who has won a title recently. Winning a title without a great QB is difficult. There are no game managers in college football. If your QB1 is not good your team is not good.
Winning titles takes Everything. But money now buys talent, and talent makes teams competitive. Oregon and Texas are rising quickly because of it.
I have lived in Texas for the last 24 years and I'm only an hour from Austin. UT Austin has always had money and yet they have cycled through almost as many coaches as we have since they lost Mack Brown. In that time they had just one title with him as coach. They didn't win that title because of Mack Brown. They won because they had a freak of nature, Vince Young, as their quarterback. If you inserted Vince Young into a lot of teams that year those teams would have been contenders. That kid was a beast and one of the best ever in college football history.
Quarterbacks fall out of the trees here on the West Coast
Oregon and Washington Defenses are going to be a so much faster than the Bottom tier BIG schools. I think schools like Purdue, Northwestern, Iowa, Rutgers, Indiana, Illinois and Minnesota are really going to suffer. I am counting on Rhule to recruit to compete. It is kind of like when the Huskers played Don James Huskies in 90 and 91. Those Huskies led by Steve Emtman were so fast on D they made TO and McBride get faster on D that led to the Huskers great run.
Have you ever been in Pullman during Thanksgiving week? The Huskies have won lots of Apple Cups in the snow.
Agreed and won’t the Huskers and the rest of the BIG have to go to those places and play in the rain. In the past it has always been nice, dry, warm September weather. That is about to change.
It's amazing how many people that post here think Oregon and Washington are in hot regions....🤣
Not hot regions by any means, but their winters are usually milder than winter in the midwest.
Sure they’ve always ‘had the money’… they just haven’t been able to overtly Buy Players until the couple years. Now that they can, legally, they’re LOADING UP. And they’re Magically (not magically) playing better.
