Thank you Charles for keeping track on Oregon Baseball and Softball. As someone who loves the Ducks though isn't a baseball or softball fan it's nice to get updates in a nice digestible manner. Additionally.... the Beavers had basically ONE thing over the Ducks in baseball and we just took that away from them!

Podcast Bussin' with the Boys: Marcus Mariota means a lot to the Ducks but Oregon might mean even more to him Heisman-winning quarterback Marcus Mariota still means a lot to the Oregon Ducks, but the program might mean even more to the hero QB. (Interview starts at the 1:06.46 mark) The Oregon Ducks' prodigal son, Heisman winner, and favorite quarterback. Marcus Mariota is beloved by the Oregon community and fanbase for what he did while playing for the Ducks, and continues to do for the program. From continuously coming to Eugene for game days to mentoring the Ducks' current quarterbacks, like Dillon Gabriel, there is nothing that Mariota can do wrong in the eyes of Oregon fans. Recently, Mariota shared just how much the Oregon community means to him. "It's surreal, man. I don't wanna get emotional, but it is," Mariota said of his time with the Ducks. "I came here when I was 17 years old, man... I was so homesick my first year, but they took me under their wing and, regardless of who it was... They really helped me transition into who I was." Who that young quarterback was was arguably the best college football player in the nation, much less the Pac-12

Wow. Actually have to kind of, sort of want the Trojans & the Puppies to win? The things we have to do for OBD!

Okay, Super Regional might not happen. But a regional? OBD just have to keep doin' what they're doin! The SWEEP of the Beavs had Oregon showing what they can do at bat, in the field & on the mound. Grinsell is becoming an Ace, Reitz, has had innings, in his last 2 starts that were pull-worthy, but Was, knows his pitchers. Reitz stayed in and did fine. As bad as yesterday was, 4 straight full count walks, but the only run the Beavs could get out of it was a forced run!

In terms of RPI rankings, Oregon is No. 34 with the NCAA, and No. 35 with Warren Nolan who is well recognized. Got some more work to do!

We do have a chance to win the conference championship, but we gotta win a ton, and things need to fall our way. There are some B1G series this weekend that can help Our Beloved Ducks, as UCLA plays USC, and this is one time to actually root for the Trojans to win their series versus the Bruins. We also have a B1G series in Seattle, as Iowa travels to play the Bastard-Huskies, thus we have to hold our nose, and hope that Washington sticks two losses on the Hawkeyes. The remaining schedule has the Ducks play at Oregon State on Tuesday, three games at Michigan State this weekend, (with two midweek home games versus St. Marys next week) then at home for three against the Bastard-Huskies, and finish at Iowa for three games. (Schedule is right here) And of course...a sweep at Michigan State could help a TON, but it will not be easy. They are 23-19, and 9-12 in B1G play. They did win one off of Iowa, and of course--like when we played the damn Buckeyes at their home--their players will give us their very best effort. Let's Go Ducks! Incredible plays at 3rd base by Carter Garate this last weekend!

An Update from Yahoo's Ross Dellinger, one of BTN's CFB go-to guys. With future format of CFP in limbo, college sports brass still undecided on major issues SPORTS.YAHOO.COM Will the bracket be different next year? How many teams will be in it in 2026 and beyond? How will teams be selected for the playoff? There's plenty still on the table as commissioners discuss college...

Since Kodi Greene flipped, I have learned that his brother is on the UW roster and that he grew up in Seattle. I'm surprised he "committed" to OBD.

OK...that big THUD you heard outside was Mr. FishDuck coming back to earth. Oregon is ranked No. 10 in the USA TODAY Baseball poll, and No. 12 in Baseball America. I have focused on D1Baseball, as most do, but we cannot ignore the other major polls. This means that if the Ducks win the majority of their remaining games, then they should be a shoo-in to host a NCAA Playoff Regional Series at PK Park. But they have a stretch to host a Super-Regional, and that would come only if Oregon won nearly all their games remaining. It is possible as they play at Oregon State on Tuesday, three games at Michigan State this weekend, (with two mid-week home games versus St. Marys next week) then at home for three against the Bastard-Huskies, and finish at Iowa for three games. Let's Go Ducks! Another Dom-Bomb coming!

Back in the day, KUGN would have Elvis contests, trivia, Name that tune. It didn't matter; I won! Eventually they switched to, "The 8th caller" oh well.

Not only does the Spring Game provide some welcome football entertainment halfway to the next season, it also provides the fans an opportunity to directly partake in recruiting by showing the future Ducks what a real fan base looks like.

The Oregon Ducks Football program hosted their 2025 Spring Game on Saturday, April 26. Great Day, Great Atmosphere! What a weekend for both Spring Football, Baseball and Softball. Go Ducks!

Post-Spring College Football Top 25 Poll Released College football spring ball is in the books and it's time to look ahead to the 2025 regular season. Classes are wrapping up on campuses across the country. Summer is approaching. Before you know it, teams will be reporting to fall camp, with Week 1 less than four months away. While there could still be some transfers and recruiting commitments, most rosters are pretty much set for the 2025 season. With spring football in the books, a post-spring college football Top 25 poll has been released on Monday morning, April 28. Which teams are in the best shape heading into the fall?

Shocking News! Nothing Happened at the Gathering of the CFB PO Executive Committee. In all likelihood, we will see the same PO format in 2026. Here's what the PO field would look like using Andy Staples On3 updated post-spring rankings. College Football post-spring Top 25: Texas tops rankings, Clemson climbs & more moves - On3 WWW.ON3.COM Spring practices are finished across the country, and the transfer portal is closed. That means it’s time to reevaluate teams ahead of the 2025 season now that we have a better idea of their rosters... Why the update? Clicks = $$$. The UCLA-Tennessee QB trade was the news to date out of the Spring Portal, although Penn State adding a quality WR from Syracuse is noteworthy for OBD and B1G fans. Staples has nine SEC teams and seven B1G teams ranked. His projected PO would have four SEC teams and four B1G teams in the field. Staples has LSU at No. 15, ranked lower than the majority of preseason polls. OBD is scheduled to play road games versus No. 4 Penn State and No. 25 Iowa. The Ducks miss No. 5 Ohio State, No. 9 Illinois, No. 17 Michigan, and No. 22 Nebraska. The 'beauty' of mega conference scheduling, right? Indiana is not ranked. 1. Texas vs. No. 9 Georgia at No. 8 Alabama. 4. Texas Tech vs. NR G5 at No. 5 Notre Dame - 2nd-ranked ND can be seeded no higher than 5th. 2. Clemson vs. 10 Illinois at No. 7 OREGON. 3. Penn State vs. 11 Florida at No. 6 Ohio State. A rematch of Georgia/Bama and a 1st round matchup of Illinois at Oregon stinks. As does an all-SEC top line. But with two-thirds of the field including Power 2 teams, without a format change, this will happen. Of course, this is but one prospective PO field out of the ten-plus thousand we'll see before the ultimate revelation on Sunday, December 8, 2025. The news here is the expected no news. Last chance for the Execuutive Committee to suggest revision to the 2025-26 PO format and to adopt the 2026-27 and thereafter format, will be at the mid-June Executive Committee meeting. The broadcast agreement with ESPN requires that the new PO format must be approved on or before December 1, 2025.

Beginning to warm up about our Diamond Ducks? I suggest you go to the game threads below and read about how Oregon won those games. I insert videos from the Oregon Baseball "X" account, so you can see the home runs, big strikeouts, and incredible fielding plays. Don't have or want an "X" (Twitter) account? Get one anyway so you can watch my video posted, because I personally never post on my "X" site, never read it, and never even go to my "X" site! You don't have to! Just sign up, and then unsubscribe from their emails and you won't have any hassle, but can watch the Oregon Sports videos put in OBD forum posts. Just Do It! Such a lovely sight...

Absolutely. I posted in another thread that I thought Beavs would drop to 6, and OBD would jump to 10. I definitely didn't see this. The Beavs are wacked now. The Ducks just swept the traditional series. Now, the Ducks are 6 and they're 7, with a game in Corvallis tomorrow night. OBD have to stay calm.

I was thinking they could possibly crack the top 10, but this is fantastic! Go Ducks!

Given that the NCAA has mastered in inertia since its inception, filing for bankruptcy is unlikely, add in that even though it is standard practice, the NCAA is so thin skinned, bankruptcy is probably out of the question. The NCAA has fed on low hanging food forever, wouldn't touch the UNC classroom scandal, but ripped Reggie Bush's Heisman away over his parent's and a car. Vacating wins is the silliest punishment ever conceived; the NCAA loves it.

The unbelievable weekend generated an unbelievable result in the D1Baseball polls for Our Beloved Ducks. They went from No. 16 last week to No. 6 in the nation, while Oregon State dropped from No. 3 to a very respectable No.7...having to Duck-below their rival in Eugene in the poll. What is interesting also is how the west coast has three teams in the top 10, (as does the ACC) and I am not sure I have witnessed both Oregon and Oregon State in the top ten EVER at the same time. I am sure I will have a press release coming to me soon about the historical significance of this week's poll. Regardless, it is a proud moment for College Baseball in the state of Oregon! The only other team ranked in the top-25 from the B1G is No. 14 UCLA, while Iowa is unranked. I assume it is because the majority of their wins are against sub-.500 teams, but it will get settled when the Ducks travel to Iowa City for the final three-game series of the conference season in three weeks. D1Baseball Top 25: Texas remains No. 1; chaos reigns throughout rankings • D1Baseball D1BASEBALL.COM While Texas remains the No. 1 team in the land, the rest of the rankings are filled with carnage after a tumultuous Week 11. For the first time EVER...they feature a picture of Oregon Baseball at D1Baseball for their lead rankings article! That is Cole Stokes exulting at a key strike-out late in the second game... My Duck-Buddies....I NEVER thought last weekend would happen, as I hoped for a split between the four games in order to have a chance at hosting a NCAA Playoff Regional Series. But now...if we keep winning most of our remaining games--we have a shot at hosting a Super-Regional? Holy Crap!
