Oregon Run-Rules Xavier 10-0 in the eighth inning. Redshirt freshman from West Linn, Blake Crawford, a 6'4" lefty got some good experience in striking out the side! Ryan Cooney gets on base due to a fielding error, and Jax Gimenez hits a mid-field looper between 1st and 2nd to get on base. Redshirt freshman Naulivou Lauaki Jr. got a hit up the middle to score Cooney...and the game was declared! MUCH better pitching for this mid-week game than last week versus Beavis. Another tomorrow at 3:00 PM PST!

12 points at half? Just gross. 🤮 I have been watching Oregon hoops since 1991 and I have never seen that before. Is that the lowest output in a half for the Ducks since the shot clock was adopted??

9-0 Ducks after seven innings. Tanner Bradley did not take long in the rain... Look at the action on his pitch...

9-0 Ducks after six innings. They brought Tanner Bradley out and he put the Musketeers down 1-2-3. Perhaps they just wanted him a have an inning's worth of work to stay sharp?

9-0 Ducks after five innings. Toby Twist puts them down 1-2-3 and looks good! Burke-Lee Mabeus hits down the RF line for a double. Brayden Jaksa got plinked, and Ryan Cooney sac-flies to move Mabeus to third. Jaksa gets caught in a hot-box, or run-down, and while he is distracting them between first and second...Mabeus slips into home before they record the out--to score another!

8-0 Ducks after four innings, as Toby Twist looks sharp for another scoreless inning. Great to have a good pitcher for mid-week games! Ryan Cooney walks, Jax Gimenez got plinked, and Dominic Hellman hits to the SS, who threw to wide to second, thus Gimenez was safe to set up Ducks on the Pond! Gabe Miranda grounds out, but scores Cooney. Maddox Molony sac-flies to score Gimenez. We're cooking!

A fitting end to a disastrous season. How do they score 12 points in the first half and 48 in the second half? Injuries aside, this years team has been a real head scratcher. Shooting 19/52 for 37% and 4/21 for 19% from three. Out rebounded 38-28. Time to flush it and move on. I believe Coach Altman will return but if not for gutting this roster and starting over, we'll witness the same. Will Shelstad and Evans Jr. return, or will a school with NIL lure them away. I believe Altman has one hand tied behind his back and is doing the best with what he's got. The Ducks attendance averaged 6,352 which is 51.4% of capacity. That has to change. But to put butts in the seats, you need a winning team. Difficult maybe but entirely possible. It's eight months until basketball starts again for our Ducks, I'm hoping for some good news to get this program turned around in the right direction.

Halftime: Ducks trail 33-12 Final: Ducks lose 70-60

6-0 Ducks after three innings. Toby Twist kept Xavier scoreless again! Drew Smith hit a MOONSHOT that did not just clear the wall, but over the scoreboard!

5-0 Ducks after two innings. Toby Twist was really getting his control going--even in the rain. He put them down 1-2-3... Drew Smith walked, and Angel Laya hit a jammed single blooper in short right/center field as Smith jets to third. Burke-Lee Mabeus hits a high-hop infield single to get on base as Smith scores. Brayden Jaksa does sac-fly to move Laya to third, and the Ryan Cooney bunted perfect down the first base line to beat the throw! At this point we have Ducks-on-the-Pond! (Bases loaded) Then Jax Gimenez hits over the CF wall for a GRAND SLAM!

0-0 after one inning. Toby Twist is the pitcher for Oregon, and he has quite a sweeping curve from his left-handed throws. Between a walk, a plinked batter, and some controversy over another play--the Musketeers loaded the bases. But Twist created two pop-ups to finish the inning! We have position switches for this game as CF Jack Brooks is taking a break, while Jax Gimenez moves from LF to CF. Angel Laya moves from RF to LF, and Brandon Jaska comes on the field to RF. Jaska is hitting over .350 and thus a good reason to get him on the field with Burke-Lee Mabeus catching. Oregon left stranded again...yikes!

Might also force teams to be somewhat less conservative running the clock in some situations at the end of half, or game.

I luv the Ducks. And, I understand the injury situation. But, that first half was beyond bad. As Chas Man said, these guys are not junior high vs varsity - they have spent countless hours in gyms during their lives.

Like Schmidt...I know nothing about our starting pitcher or the opposing pitcher, so it will be part of the entertainment today!

Ryan Switzer Hire Gives Oregon Coaching Staff Real AdvantagesThe Oregon Ducks and coach Dan Lanning are adding an exciting former NFL receiver to their coaching staff.

It seems like Dana would have to opt out, and up to this point, that is not the message he has been sending. Is he seeing his future through rose colored glasses? This team is really bad, and he is the head coach. It's his product we are watching flail away with a rather astonishing sense of futility.

Is this Altman's last game? OBD are down 12-33 at halftime against Maryland. We are 3 of 22 from the floor (all 3 makes from Bittle) and we're being outrebounded 26-14. Altman deserves a glorious send off in front of the home crowd, but I don't see any indications that next year gets better.

The game between Oregon and Maryland would be fit for an Aesop Fable. The Tortoise and the Duck. The Ducks have yet to lift off. 31-12 Terps at halftime. Do college sports really need a postseason? At least for the Moneyball sports. 🤬

As the Oregon Ducks take the field for the 2026 Spring sessions, the buzz around Eugene isn’t just about the explosive new offence under Drew Mehringer or the arrival of blue-chip transfers. Instead, the coaching staff and the “analytical junkies” at FishDuck are obsessed with a technicality buried deep in the 2026 NCAA rulebook: the reinstatement and refinement of the ... The Fair Catch Kick: A Bizarre Rule Change for Lanning to Exploit?

3 minutes left in the half and OBD just scored their 10th point. They are shooting a collective 12% against the 11 win Terps. How can these guys spend their whole lives in the gym and still be that bad at putting the ball in the hoop?

A look at the DBs this Spring. Previewing Oregon Ducks' CB room ahead of 2026 spring football season

Wow, practice starts Thursday. Just two, then Spring break, then back at in in April. Oregon spring practice kicks off Thursday, Pro Day to be held next week

How will Drew's o differ from Will's . . .no sweeping changes, just maximize roster aka feed the studs!! New OC Drew Mehringer outlines vision for Oregon’s offense in 2026

"uniform investment in football programs" I understand the desire, but the reality is stadium size for ticket sales, location, number of alums/donors, etc. just makes it unlikely. Then, add in what will very likely be a tiered structure for media revenue share with the next media negotiation. Ohio State is going to demand a greater share and take it from the hide of programs like Maryland, Rutgers, Purdue, Minnesota....how could those programs ever reach uniform investment.

Too convoluted? I don't think so. Especially if the B1G and the SEC break away and the 'Super Conference' has 34 teams, possibly as many as 40 teams with the addition of Notre Dame and other immediately accretive teams. When looking at where the teams are located, pods in the NFL more or less make sense. However, every team in the NFL has a Blue Chip + roster, and the goal of the NFL is parity. Teams that underperform, like New England without Brady, play easier schedules than successful teams. Mike Whitty's goal is to achieve parity in scheduling in the Big Ten. As Mike the Hiker notes, the B1G has too many teams, as does the SEC, to achieve parity. Without salary caps, differences in budgets for football, no restriction on player movement, and the differences in money available for NIL, I don't believe any CFB scheduling model, and Mike's is as good as I have seen, will produce balanced schedules. If players are not deemed to be employees, and there is no uniform, enforceable, bargained-for agreement with the players, and uniform investment in football programs, I don't see a Northeast Pod of Maryland, Rutgers, an add-on UVA, and Penn State, being competitive with a West Pod of OBD, UCLA, USC, and UW. In a given year, a team or three in today's mega conferences will get the short end of the scheduling stick. Perhaps if one of the scheduling goals wasn't having every team in a conference play one another over a period of years, parity could be achieved? But parity would have to depend upon a team's performance in a given season, or over a few seasons. How do you factor in an Indiana? College basketball uses disclosed metrics to balance out teams based on the strength of schedule (SOS). 31-0 Miami of Ohio is not likely to be seeded higher than 9th. The college football committee simply wings it. And the CFB committee is not helped by a media company with rankings tease shows, and not the NCAA, managing the playoff. All of the supposed improved metrics in the hands of the committee still equate to how many losses a team has, except for Bama, of course. Mike's goal is worthy, no doubt. But without systemic changes modeled on the NFL format, including a draft of high school players, I don't believe we will see equity in CFB scheduling. What we could and should see is a CFB Playoff committee making its decisions based upon disclosed metrics that, among other things, make SOS a determining factor when deciding on and seeding the PO field. Good luck.
