Well, the Lady Ducks finished 42-1 when they hit a home run, they got this one early, but that was it. Oklahoma hit 3.

The "thrill of victory and the agony of defeat". It was a great season for Duck women softball. Oh how it hurts to be oh, so close! I'm very impressed with #33, P, Lindsey Grein. What a competitor. The whole team was fun to watch. OK. Bring on the football team! Go DUCKS!!

Ted's Top-5 Most Important Transfers for Duck Success in 2025 Ted's Top-5 Most Important Transfers for Duck Success in 2025 - On3 WWW.ON3.COM Oregon signed a key transfer class for this upcoming season and here are my five most important transfers for Dan Lanning.

Oklahoma Coach Gasso: "If it isn't us, I want it to be them" I'm sure Lombardi feels the same way.

No. Back in the good ol' days, even being No.1 in recruiting on June 1 didn't mean a thing. Now being No.1 on National Signing Day is better than nothing. USC is on top now, check back in December.

Were I sitting to write a post about Kirby Smart's recruiting philosophy, I could do no better than this. Nailed it on every point Smith72!, particularly on the philosophy of not setting the market for unproven talent. Georgia missed on two of the highest rated recruits in the country recently, i.e., OT Cantwell who went to Miami and TE Bowmen aka Baby Brock who went to USC, and I merely shrugged Why? Because I knew the coaching staff had other option recruits who were likely to perform as well at Georgia whom they'd gladly take. Kirby has said he has a hard time giving an untested recruit a salary that far exceeds the average of what his juniors and seniors will make based on their "potential". Start messing with culture and you can get in trouble in a big hurry. Georgia reportedly did not waver even with stud QB recruit Jared Curtis. Curtis has been on the same wavelength as Georgia OC Mike Bobo for several years now and, consistent with Kirby Smart's and apparently Dan Lanning's philosophy, was willing to take less to be developed in a way that made sense to him. In other words, Georgia's 4-year offer to Curtis was in the ballpark with other offers but backloaded heavily in year one and contingent upon satisfactory development and performance. Both Jared and the Curtis family were on-board with this approach.

Thank you, Darren. Roster management in CFB and CBB is a full-time job. Dan and friends, to date, have not needed a GM, unlike $10 million a year men Lincoln Riley and Bill Belichick. In Bill's case, the GM is in addition to his granddaughter, er, GIRL-friend, following him around. A writer on a CFB site noted last week that a new criterion has popped up in recruiting and portal picking: Is having the young man on board worth having to deal with the young man's Old Man? In Wesley's case, at close to the same time his son cannon-balled "committed," his Old Man noted that his son's recruitment was not over. I hate to ask, but in this day and age of NIL, is Lincoln Riley's approach the way to go? An SC "commit" takes further recruiting visits, and SC's offer disappears. In other Forum discussions on this subject, I have noted many comments supporting Dan and Division Street on not spending $4 million on a guy who led the SEC in Ints in 2024, and $2 million for a high school student who hasn't played a down of college football. IMO, the D&D Forum fans support is $pot On! See you in December on recruit and portal signing days. Until then, a CFB 'Commitment' is only a rumor.

Absolutely. Saban knew when to get out.

Not I, not at those salaries. Even the old timers like Dabo, it is not what they signed up for, but they originally didn't sign on for 7+ mil a year either. P.S. Good article Darren

Go, Lady Ducks sounds great to me!

Bring it to The Jane! The talking heads could NOT have been serious.

It is so complicated now...you gotta feel for the coaches. All that work...

I heard two talking ESPN heads on Sirious, channel 84, opine the other day that Oklahoma is not helped by the finals being played in OK City. Bull !!!

Come On Paige (name of one of three granddaughters ) Come On! Put the chockies on the Okies. May their bats freeze up , and may the legion of Sooners fans in OK City go home swooning. Give 'em !

Take on a powerhouse program when they're mad? NOT!

Oklahoma won't have to far to go, if Oregon wins and derails Oklahoma of its try for 5 in a row. If Oregon loses it's the last game for Paige Sinicki.

Let's hope grasshopper can pull it off What to know about 16-seed Oregon's WCWS matchup with the reigning champion Oklahoma Sooners

Oh my, MTV, Blockbuster, Casey Kasem & "America's Top 40" buying movie tickets at the door, HBO was cool. Players sitting at a table, 3 hats spread out in front, he feints picking that one. Then picks your team!!! And it mattered. National Signing Day stopped being the same a while ago. It's still big. you want to bring in the blue chips, but the urgency isn't there, the transfer portal, it's amazing actually how much stability there is now.

Thanks Darren! I agree with you. It's a new world with money being involved. The players deserve a chance to be compensated for their talent. Oregon coaches and the NIL group Division street are doing well in the portal. They are working the Portal to fill needs, and spending wisely. Money is being spent but they are refusing to be the highest bidder for unproven talent. Our Beloved Ducks are proving that eventually players will want to be coached well and play for a winner.

I get what you're saying Jon, and I can't get behind what Sankey thinks the playoffs should be. I personally believed the playoff should've been eight from the start. It was mind-blowing that there were five power programs and Notre Dame( they're special) but only four spots. I can't get into that again though. I hate the static scheduling the SEC does. Meaning each SEC team plays the exact same conference schedule in consecutive years but the home field is flipped. My reason for creating this topic was to point out a concerning trend with teams backing out of series like Nebraska did to Tennessee within ten months of the game to be played, and SEC teams refusing to play nine game schedules but still saying they deserve more respect because top to bottom the league is tougher. Texas is running from a home away game but insisting that Texas gets to host a night game next year. What if Ohio State says no?

Back in 1981, Video Killed the Radio Star was the very first music video ever played on MTV. It represented a big change in the way media was absorbed and signaled a huge shift in the music industry. The transfer portal has done the same to college football regarding how teams acquire players. Even Mr. FishDuck had to take... Portal Killed the Recruiting Star | FishDuck FISHDUCK.COM Darren Perkins of FishDuck.com believes that the transfer portal in college football has taken much of the lustre off of recruiting.
