It's tough to compare the two models, the NFL is completely based off actual records. College has over a hundred squads, and it's playoff participants & seeding are based off a selection committee. Sometimes the NFC West is a joke, and sometimes it has three playoff teams. But you get a good idea with the the 32 squads. In college, you get tribalism. You have different college leadership committees. Different levels of financial resources, and roster retention ability. Do we need rules? Yeah. If we can't even figure out that coaches shouldn't be able to be contacted for other jobs in the middle of leading their current team on a playoff run, or a QB can't be swiped on the last day by another program in the same conference. I have little faith we'll get the scheduling across the four power leagues balanced. I mean Indiana kind of laid out the fact that scheduling three tomato cans is the way to go. Notre Dame can keep scheduling the service academies, and maybe getting a real test about three times a year. They're going to have a spot.

How do you score 12 points in the 1st half? I can't. But it reminds me of a question asked Seve Ballesteros after a round at the Masters, and after he four-putted the 18th hole. Seve, how did you 4-putt? "I mezz, I mezz, I mezz, I make."😁

The Oregon women lost a Pac12 Tournament game to Colorado 79-30 in March 2024. The Ducks (11-21) had 11 points at half-time. Sports sites say the 12 points today was the men's lowest scoring first half in 3 decades, but doesn't cite the date/opponent.

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?
