FishDuck writer David Marsh pointed out that Oregon did get 10 portal transfers last year. So if we did the same again...replacing the 16 starters may not be so bad between transfers, and new players emerging. Theran Johnson, Corner Transfer from Northwestern

Is Justin actually involved with Beer, or was that just a moment's meeting someone caught on camera???

Thank you for the really early look ahead. As you admitted in the article, we don’t know how the talented younger players fit in to the playing rotation or how the players on the NFL fence will perform and be evaluated. Hopefully, some of the talented underclassman come on hard this year and make a significant impact or at least show flashes of their potential for next year. IMO, the biggest determining factor for 2026 will be how our QB develops this year and whether he returns in 2026. I’m assuming that whomever the QB is this year will have some growing pains (hopefully it doesn’t cost Oregon too dearly). However, if they improve steadily throughout the year and are one, if not the top QB, by the end of the season and they decide to return in 2026 to make a run at another national championship that could cause a lot of the players on the NFL fence to come back to Eugene, as well as attract some transfers and high school studs.

True . I haven't gone through that luckily, I do have buddies who have and they laugh at me when I say it's gonna be okay. I am an optimist at heart, probably naive at worst. I had an old guy tell me when I asked him advice about women and he told me that no man has the book on them. As I've gotten older I've found that to be true. How the heck did I get myself into this discussion? 😂 Oh yeah Herbert, Tebow and relationship talk. To get back on track though, Herbert has a lot of money in the bank. I hope he protects that wealth. I remember watching hard knocks several years ago and one of the things they had was a financial planner for the rookies. The average NFL career lasts less than three years, and most of those guys aren't making generational wealth on their first contract.

This is not about improvement or suggestions for personal growth from a woman; my point was....some women are not happy inside, and no matter what you do--it will not ever be enough to make her happy. I thought I was alone in this at one time, and since have seen hundreds of accounts written about a similar experience. Since you have not experienced a woman who could not be pleased, (as millions of men have had to deal with) then I'm am glad that you have not had that, and had a fulfilling experience instead. I once believed as you did... No need to debate this, as we can have different opinions based upon our experiences.

Thank you, Charles. A terrific look at the roster turnover being experienced in today's CFB. Roster management in the NFL is a piece of cake compared to what we see today in college. On paper, the 2025 schedule should help OBD's champ run cause. This schedule is the easiest from last season's schedule through the 2028 season. The top third of the schedule, the first four games, sees OBD with a significant roster advantage over the four opponents, further helped by three home games. A perfect segue into a Week 5 White Out. This season, OBD does not play a P4 out-of-conference opponent on the road; not the case, as currently scheduled, in 2026, at OK State, and 2027, at Baylor. Only two teams ranked in the preseason AP, Penn State and Indiana, are on this season's schedule, and OBD plays the Hoosiers at home. The off weeks are optimal and not the crazy eight games in a row against B1G competition that OBD faced in 2024. Hopefully, the roster gels before Week 5 at Penn State, followed by a bye week and then Indiana. Let's start with a W against Montana State!

Two trains of thought on that. First is you need to be secure and happy with who you are as a person. If you don't like you, it's near impossible to think others will. Second and more importantly to back up what I feel at least. Finding someone else that is genuinely interested in enriching your life is what makes you organically wanting to make them happier as well. Don't be a fake. Be honest with your loves and your distastes. Be open to feedback on your own behavior. I've found that there are legitimate things I can improve about myself. I think a human being who thinks they are already beyond compare is destined to find they are repugnant. Me, I'm someone who loves my alone time. I don't like huge crowds and some times I just need my space. I'm open and honest about that, but I do like having friends around sometime. I've found my personal space and sanity compromised at times, but then there are those moments I wouldn't trade for anything. Memories are with me that I'll carry for life. I don't regret a second of it, good or bad. Some of my best memories come from putting a smile on a depressed friends face, or surprising a significant other. I didn't do it to get something or make them think higher of me. I just liked seeing them smile. That was truly a lasting memory. Companionship can be found with a dog, cat, turtle, friend or maybe chat gpt. Maybe some never need that connection to something. I'm no counselor and it's none of my business, but we all walk this path and we all travel it a little differently.

I know I have written a title like you see above every fall for the last couple of years, but this year it is much more real, with a much more daunting future than I could have imagined. Let’s look at the roster, and see if the Ducks actually have a “young” team. After I glanced over ChileDuck’s Oregon football ... Forget Next Year: 2025 is Oregon's Best Chance...

B1G+ Half Full? Or, Half Empty? https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/college-football-rankings-each-ap-top-25-teams-biggest-beacon-of-hope-cause-for-concern-in-2025/

If this sleeper comes through, could be the difference between 5-7 and 7-5

No sweat. It is still fun, and a good example of how easy it is to do this... I noticed that the QB who was a superb passer, who signed with Oregon, but left to go to Cal has been named the starter. He'll be a good portal candidate in the future...

Dan's coach speak on fall camp Dan Lanning praises Oregon's growth and development as the Ducks exit fall camp

Wow, I didn't know they were headquartered on Montlake.

Au contraire my friend, I think he must have relatives (maybe even some that may work at ESPN)

It is what it is. And will always be thus. Just win baby. Just win. Frankly, I don't care what they think. Except when we need votes for rankings purposes. The defense in the post season is still being held against us also. No doubt we will surprise a lot of so-called football gurus this season. Sco Ducks!!

It looks like that is fake news. Sorry for the misinformation everyone! I tried to remove but I am too late.

Preseason SOS is guess work. The SOR ranking on 12/7/25, will be based on the PO Committee's final ranking. The SOR is all good IF the metric is truly unbiased. Anything out of ESecPN is suspect. Any metric the committee uses should be disclosed, including the programmer and the factors used by the metric. This sounds good in theory, but how does the metric rate a loss in the G5 compared to a loss in the Power 2? The committee's process being opaque and its subjectivity are one reason I like the B1G's 16-team, automatic qualifier proposal. Please explain how, in Hades, a G5 team with zero wins against the P4 was the ninth-best team in 2024? It looks like the metric could be akin to the CBB committee's Quad System? If so, and administered properly, including disclosing the results along with a weekly ranking, this could be good for CFB. If the SEC is behind this and uses it to stay at 8 conference games, we all better Duck. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/explaining-the-college-football-playoffs-new-strength-of-schedule-metric-and-the-secs-campaign-behind-it/

The announcement is not on the Bruins football site. I'm calling Horse Hockey! Tennessee fans invaded Ohio State (to no avail) and perhaps took over the On3 site?

It just means more!

Nico didnt win the starting job at UCLA? Wow.

Some of the sleeper picks seem pretty arbitrary. I mean, the Center at Wisconsin? Be sure to notify everyone when that happens, because no one will notice.

Probably impossible not to have biases in the current system when a league (CFB in this case) has 136 teams in 10 conferences. We don’t even really have a balanced schedule within the B1G, let alone across CFB. Seems like we’ve gone full circle from BCS computers being the answer, to computers are evil, and now back to needing “unbiased” strength of schedule that throws out those pesky humans. My take on current reality? Be in a power-2 conference and win 10 games, or else win 11+ if you want some playoff expectations. Otherwise don’t have playoff expectations.
