Thanks for your writeup Charles. I have read the book. I have seen the movie. It never gets old.

Quacking the Roster: Film Study Compilation on Oregon’s 2026 Football TransfersAddicted To QuackQuacking the Roster: Film Study Compilation on Oregon’s 2...The complete collection of ATQ film reviews of the Ducks’ new transfer players

Oregon loses 2-1...and guess what? We left a runner stranded in scoring position! Not a game of timely hitting...

2-1 Purdue after eight innings. Collin Clarke came out and pitched his eighth inning with over 107 pitches--and kept them scoreless again. Gabe Miranda hit a homer over the RF wall...and of course we had nobody on base when he did it. Several times earlier in the game...never mind.

Hey now, my father was an alum of Miami-Brackets-Ohio, as he said it was known, in Oxford, Ohio, located in the Miami Valley, named after the Myaamia People. 10th-oldest public university in the country, 18,000 students.

2-0 Purdue after seven innings. It is a cold windy day in West Layfayette, and it seems to have impacted our bats? Collin Clarke pitched a short seventh inning.

2-0 Purdue after six innings. Collin Clarke has held up really well; he gave up the two runs, but has seven KOs and gone six innings for Oregon. Oregon has stranded 10...TEN base runners.

2-0 Purdue after five innings. Collin Clarke has got into some trouble, but pulled out of it with tough pitching. Oregon has stranded eight base runners through five innings, hence the goose-egg on the scoreboard.

2-0 Purdue after three innings. Oregon stranded two on base again, and Collin Clarke gave up three hits and plinked a batter to allow the scoring.

0-0 after two innings. Collin Clarke hardly had any pitches to generate a ground-out and two flyballs. Ducks stranded two on base...

Let's plan on having a separate thread for this after the game--others may share their experiences too. Fantastic stuff...

Sir Charles I am 3 and a half years into my intermittent fast journey (16/8 program) Lost over 50 pounds and 8 inches in the wasteline. Stick with your plan and it will work for you. I am 31 minutes from having lunch and ending my weekly 24 hour fast. Those initial gravings will soon go away. This old graybeard is rooting for you and the Ducks!

0-0 after one inning. Collin Clarke plinked a guy, got a fly ball to CF, and two strikeouts already. Elijah Cook is playing center field instead of Jack Brooks this game.

Will be interesting to see how many B1G teams get at-large selections. ESPN Power Index 1-Michigan 6-Mich St 8-Nebraska 12-Purdue 13-Illinois 21-Miami (OH) 27-Wisconsin 33-UCLA 36-Iowa 38-OSU 46-Indiana 50-USC 76-UW 86-Minnesota 89-Northwestern 103-Maryland 105-Rutgers 110-Oregon 115-Penn St

I read an article on this team and the relevant number for me was their schedule was ranked next to last of all teams in regards to strength of schedule. They won't be around for long IMHO. Even at 31-0 they are still on the bubble.

Today we face Boilermaker pitcher Zach Erdman, who has a 4.76 ERA, and the most innings pitched on the team coming into this series. Oregon will counter with Collin Clarke on the hill, who has a 2.70 ERA to date. Purdue has a reliever or two who have exceptionally low ERAs left, and I suspect we will see them today. I am expecting a lower-scoring contest this time... My Duck-Buddies: Somewhere around the 3rd inning I will be making my brunch, as the timing is important and I'm not going to disrupt my eating schedule. I am doing intermittent fasting for health benefits, (search in YouTube for information) and when I break my 17-18 hour fast--I gotta eat! So if there is a delay in reporting in the middle of the game--that is why. Let's Go Ducks! Collin Clarke

Tosh and Will Stein - Movin' On Up? https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/michigan-usc-power-four-teams-2026/

Wanted to share something a buddy of mine made for me on his 3D printer. His wife dubbed it the “Thor-O-Gun.” I’m thinking about having him make a few more in our team colors. If anyone’s got suggestions or ideas, I’m all ears. Plan is to mount them on the wall in the man cave.

An "amazing" season. They have won 4 regulation games by 2 points each. And, another 4 games in overtime by a total of 14. Plus, another regulation game by 3 pts. Their last 3 regular season games were 2 pts, 2 pts, and 2 pts in OT. Aside from "luck," the whole psychological aspect of that within a team would make an interesting newspaper column.

Poor prosecutor Hamilton Berger. He went toe-to-toe with Perry in almost every episode and never won a case. Fitting for a hamburger. 🤣

I am not a an attorney, but I have watched every single Perry Mason episode. Once the revenue-sharing and NIL payments emerged, I wondered how would Title IX and non-revenue sports (let's be honest, they are money-losing sports) be managed since the revenue-shares used to cover those expenses in large measure.

Mark May always kind of rubbed me the wrong way, until he was one of the few who predicted Florida would beat Ohio State in the 2006 BCS Title Game. I think that was more due to his hatred of Ohio State, but I don't care. Lou would always drive him crazy whenever he'd pick Notre Dame to beat USC, or any of those other big games that they'd eventually get blown out in. But Lou was loyal to the Irish till the end. I'm glad he got to see the Irish make that run last year. He is still the last coach to win a National Title at Notre Dame.
