If you haven't been to any of these meets at the new stadium it is well worth going. Though I might spend my bucks on the Prefontaine 50th on July 5th.

Hopefully not

And there are pitfalls, costs and risks to that strategy too. What if you had a former 5-Star QB who you knew would be super when it was his turn...and it did not turn out that way? And it cost you a 'Natty? Naw...Georgia fans wouldn't know anything about that!

I think I saw that Murray State eliminated Duke to reach the World Series, thus giving me another underdog to root for. Plus as I am fond of nothing about Duke (except their academic standards) that outcome was doubly satisfying. So go Racers!

A cautionary note here: Great portal additions at QB are NOT always readily available. The Ducks were extremely fortunate IMHO to have guys of he caliber of Nix and Dillon G. available when they were needed, and kudos for CDL for scooping them up. But such availability is probably the exception rather than the rule and it is unclear how revenue sharing will impact recruiting of portal options. I do agree that nothing beats experience at the QB position. But a program needs to work hard at developing the youngsters and have some success in so doing to sustain offensive strength over the long run.

Who else can do anything as good as Glen Campbell could play a guitar?

More Motown

The epitome of cool

"Send your camel to bed" Maybe the best lyric of all time.

As you all know...in the off-season we only have one article a week on FishDuck.com scheduled, although we sometimes get more when blessed with a guest article by Jon Joseph. Thus, I am grateful for the writers, and to Alex Heining for the fun read that gets you pondering... I was pondering the WR issue, and realized that I might have overlooked an important element with a couple of receivers. When you are a junior as Justius Lowe is, or a SENIOR as Malik Bennett or as Gary Bryant Jr. is... you have something to prove. Often we have seen players really emerge when in their final year--to where we hardly recognize the player we knew before. In particular--I have the gut-feel that Gary Bryant Jr. is going to have a B1G year!

Here is Dickey’s moment to step up to all that prior expectation. Hope he can. If not now, when?

X marks Jeremiah Smith. He said, "You can't cover me 1 on 1" as the saying goes, if it's true it ain't braggin'. 6'3, 219 and OBD were trying to jam him up with CB's who were 5'10, 180. None of OBD's WR's are that, but DeVonta Smith, 6'0 170, won the 2020 Heisman.

The point I am making is that modern football schemes assign somewhat different roles to players, and individual players are better suited for some roles than others. At the website Football Advantage "Coach Martin" states that the split end or X receiver "will go up against man-to-man pass coverage a lot. Cornerbacks will often line up directly opposite them and try to jam them at the line of scrimmage. To be successful at the position, an X receiver has to be either (1) quick or (2) physical enough to break away from this jam consistently. The X's main role is to work the outside of the field, covering both the widest and deepest portion of the field. " Coach Martin speaks only of receiving, not blocking, by the way. Gresham, McClelland, and Lowe are all bout 6 feet tall and 190 pounds. I believe Lowe is thought to have good acceleration. Kasper is 6' 6" and 210; Dickey is 6' 2" and 205. Neither has been consistent up to this point, although both have suffered injuries that have impeded their development. If Kasper and Dickey disappoint, do OBD have anyone on the roster who is well-suited for the X role?

I think the new House settlement might influence future portal picks with NIL deals needing to pass inspection. No more "buying" players. Supposedly. Either way, Oregon will end up in good shape. Our qb room now is stacked. Unproven sure, but hugely talented. I'm willing to wait it out. In Lanning & Co. we trust. Though for uncle Phil's sake, I hope we get that Natty soon!

The receiver room loses depth and experience, but not a huge drop in potential talent. We will replace a top receiver with 5*, or 4* receiver with less experience, but a high ceiling in potential. If I was a receiver I would be excited about the newest opportunity. This is what these guys should thrive on…the question should be…who wants to step up and be the next 800 to 1,000 yard guy?

So, there is one time, that I know of, when 3 letters, 2 of them the same, the other identical, form two words. The letters are in different order, the sound is the same, but the meanings are different. What are the two words?

"Opportunity" is definitely how Lanning looks at things, sometimes OBD take advantage of them, sometimes they don't, but that is the positive approach. I agree with the idea of Lowe and the observation that there a lot opportunities in Oregon's WR Room, and whatever room Sadiq wants.

I can pretty much assure you that Georgia's receiver room will look nothing like 2024. The addition of two highly touted portal receivers and the return of an X receiver who was suspended for off-field reasons and exonerated, plus the recruitment of a 5-star Z receiver and another very-high 4-star X receiver promise to spice things up. I might add that there are also three highly touted TEs in addition to the two very capable ones from last year. All these guys can't play at the same time but there are plenty of options.

Could not agree more! Part of baseball is the aesthetics. The sound of a solid hit is as good as there is in sports. Imagine this scene in "the Natural" if Roy Hobbs had an aluminum bat!
