College Football News on the return of Dante - https://collegefootballnews.com/college-football/dante-moore-returns-to-oregon-2026-nfl-draft

The $$$ is headed the way of the Hoosiers. All of this pregame love for the Gigs does not mean Indiana won't get smoked. But I don't see a veteran team coached by Cig coming into the game without focus and eyes on the prize. https://sports.yahoo.com/college-football/breaking-news/article/college-football-playoff-early-bettors-are-heavily-backing-indiana-to-win-the-national-championship-game-155911510.html

Doctor J, 25 coaches predict Monday night's winner. I love the timing and location of the football and basketball coaches' meetings. Nothing better than a free ticket to the title game.😁 https://www.foxsports.com/stories/college-football/college-football-coaches-cfp-national-champion-picks-miami-indiana-poll

Be interesting to see the unintended consequences. At first blush, I think this lessens the importance of the portal a smidge. You can now legitimately use first year frosh as depth, which should make it tougher for relative second tier portal players to find a landing spot…which might reduce the number of players entering the portal. We shall see

I wonder how you could have come up with this conclusion!?!!?

I wonder if we'll see him in a Kentucky uniform.

Sorry to see him go, better for AS Jr. Wonder if DR is next having seen the way his inital recruiting went?

Second one in two years. He likely knows it’s best to go get some film and stats at a place where he can play, so he can transfer to a better school later. That’s how it works these days.

Humm, common sense prevails in BBall. New transfer windows approved in basketball, other sports - ESPN

This is crazy, I think I need a drink to keep my sanity!

Gui...the game you remember... 1968 USC entered Autzen No. 1. Ducks were 3-3 including losses at Colorado and at Ohio State. It was USC’s first ever trip to Eugene. All prior games had been in Portland. Autzen had opened in 1967. There were 33,500 in Autzen for the game. OJ had rushed for 980 yds in his first 5 games, but Ducks held him to 67 yds on 25 carries. He won the Heisman at the end of the season. He averaged 171 yds in 10-regular-season games, then rushed for 171 in the Rose Bowl. The game was 13-13 when Trojan Steve Sogge fired a 3 yd pass for the TD: 20-13 The play you remember that set up USC for the winning TD drive was a 61-yd completion to Duck Greg Lindsey that started with Olson fading back into his own end zone after a USC punt was downed on the Duck 1-yd line. Lindsey was chased down from behind by Trojan Ron Ayala who forced Lindsey’s fumble – which the Trojans recovered on their own 38. With little more than 2 minutes left, USC went on a 62 yd drive for the winning TD helped by a 4th down conversion and later a Duck pass interference. There was 1:12 left when USC scored. Oregon responded with Olson passing the Ducks to the USC 8 yd line, but Duck Eric Olson had 3 incomplete passes in the last 28 seconds to end the game. QB John Harrington had been injured earlier during the game. The Ducks outgained USC 359 to 196. Coach Frei indicated in the post-game that if the Ducks had scored they would have gone for a 2-pt conversion to attempt the win. The Trojans went 9-1-1 with some incredibly close winning scores: 3, 7, 7, 4, the 21-21 tie with Notre Dame, and 11-pt loss to Ohio St in the Rose Bowl.

He’ll replace this guy.

I can't remember one season since our Final Four run where we have not had to deal with a significant amount of injuries to at least one key player. We have also lacked "grown men" who can put the team on their shoulders and deliver when it matters most. The lone exception and outlier to this was Payton Pritchard during the last half of the 2018-19 campaign and the 2019-20 season that was cut short, robbing all of us of what could have been an epic run. Couisnard came close, but was still inconsistent and didn't have enough veterans around him.

Where does Brock Thomas fit in here? It's funny how he is not at all popular with OBD fans here, but he was #2... I think more outbound QB transfers will continue.

Absolute GREAT talk between these two former Ducks who played a lot of years in the NFL and were both on the sidelines during the game. GREAT insights on the game and the season. Find it here.

True. But there is much improvement to be had.

It’s not that bad and it happens all the time in pro sports because they set the expansion teams up for so much success. Think about how the Indians must’ve felt when they lost to the Marlins in the 1997 World Series. Florida got their franchise in 1993.

IMO, hoops will not be competitive going forward until Oregon decides it is worth investing in it. When your alleged NIL budget is 1/4 of the conference contenders, it is going to be very difficult to assemble a roster to compete. Michigan invested more than $8M this season. If the reports I have seen are true, Oregon is not even at 1/3 of that. The end result is that you are forced to use most of your NIL budget on roster retention (Bittle, Shelstad, and Evans) and then gamble on a bunch of G5 players to make the jump or Power 4 players that are riding the bench at other schools and pray that something clicks. IMO, You could have Phil Jackson coaching and it won’t matter. Expect the slide to continue and to see more of this until Oregon throws some money at it.

Can I get an AMEN?

Yes, I also admire what OBD accomplished against OSU in Eugene in 2024, but I am not sure the same approach would have succeeded against IU this year. The reason: our 2025-26 tackles may not have been as good as last year's in pass protection. Evidence: the opinion offered on X (and quoted by someone here) by Geoff Schwartz, who knows a thing or two about playing offensive tackle.

Oregon offers Weber State RB Chauncey Sylvester Jr.Sylvester was a three-star and the No. 146 running back out of St. John Bosco High School in the 2024 class before committing to Weber State. He appeared in just two games, redshirting during his first season with the Wildcats. The 5-foot-10, 185-pounder from Long Beach, CA, saw more time in 2025 as a redshirt freshman, carrying the ball 60 times for 305 yards and four touchdowns. He also caught eight passes for 88 yards and a score.

Evan Stewart says he wants to play with Dante Moore, now that Moore is back, the ball is in his court Oregon wide receiver Evan Stewart will have a decision to make for 2026. Now that Dante Moore is back, has that been made for him? Evan Stewart didn't play a down for Oregon in 2025. Will that change in 2026? Based upon what he said in Miami just before New Year's, the odds have have improved over the last few hours. Quarterback Dante Moore will be back, and based on Stewart's own words, that development will be a meaningful one for him. ‌ "I want to play with [Dante Moore]. If I'm being for real," Stewart told reporters at the Orange Bowl media day. "Me and Dante were going to be something. I still want to play with him. If he comes back, it's going to be lit, I know that." Moore is back. So how lit will it be?
