Read an interesting piece today about the potential impact for Miami (Cristobal). If there are limited opportunities for ACC participants (after Clemson, Florida State) and if the ACC champ is no longer guaranteed a first round bye that might put Miami on the road if they do qualify...

It would have been a damn sight better than what happened on 1/1/25. And who knows, maybe Jeremiah Smith, Chip, and the entire defense eat iffy breakfast burritos that morning and the outcome is a whole lot different. Possibly not, but I have to believe the gauntlet tOSU would have had to run to get to the NC would have prepared Oregon better to face them.

Terrific article. My comment: See Santa Rosa Duck. The young man, who is wearing 55, is in good company. He joins Junior Seau and the Sheriff of Fansville, Brian 'Boz' Bosworth. Thank you.

Thanks Charles, this is an article I love because this level of detail flies right over my head unless pointed out to me.

Weakness - not at Oregon. Coaches planned for the graduation of last year's starters. Look out Big Ten: Oregon's biggest perceived weakness is a strength AUTZENZOO.COM One hundred days until the kickoff of Oregon football, it's the time of year where every website has an opinion about every team and where they'll finish.

Thanks for another excellent analysis article Charles! #55 is a great addition to the Duck football team. I too was impressed with his strength and quick steps. Seeing him line up at different spots along the defensive front is encouraging. The technique to do that, at his young age, is impressive. The improvement in Jayden Limar at running back was surprising. He showed speed last season and his football intelligence, but didn't push the pile at the end of a run. It seemed he went down too easily. But the Spring game demonstrated a stronger back capable of getting yards after contact (YAC). I am elated with the depth at running back.

Oregon's 2025 transfer portal cycle is their best yet Oregon's eleven transfer acquisitions marks the lowest tally for Dan Lanning's Ducks since his first year as head coach. Though lower in quantity, they filled all the right needs, and it may just be their best yet.

Each year it becomes more evident that the talent level and experience on the defensive line at Oregon is becoming even deeper over the offensive line, and this year’s eleven sacks in the Spring Game confirmed that assertion. We are familiar with many of the names that have been waiting their turn on the defensive line, but the 2025 Oregon ...

"I'm going to emphasize to our guys that we will play hard, and we will play to win...you've got to respect the game and try to win." – Coach Rick Heller prior to Iowa's pool play finale against Indiana. Based on the Pod, Iowa has already locked up a semi-final regardless of outcome. Seventh inning update in front of a nearly empty stadium: Indiana 5, Iowa 0

So...Oregon would not have faced Ohio State until the finals? Geez, that doesn't SUCK at all!

Ducks Open B1G Tournament With a Win OMAHA, Neb. — Three Oregon pitchers combined to toss a four-hitter while Anson Aroz went 3-for-4 with three RBI to lead the No. 4 Ducks to a 4-2 win over Michigan State in Oregon’s first game of pool play at the Big Ten Tournament on Thursday at Charles Schwab Stadium. Junior Ian Umlandt got the start for Oregon and turned in a stellar performance on the mound. The Ducks’ lefty allowed just one earned run on four hits in 6.2 innings on work before giving way to relievers Santiago Garcia and Seth Mattox, who combined to retire all seven batters they faced with three strikeouts. Garcia got the win, moving to 3-0 on the season, while Mattox picked up his eighth save tossing a scoreless ninth inning with two strikeouts to end the game. How It Happened: After Michigan State took an early lead with a run in the top of the first on a leadoff double and a pair of fly balls that advanced the runner, The Ducks answered with a pair of runs in their half of the first. Aroz delivered a two-out, two-run double into the left-field corner for a 2-1 lead. Anson Aroz celebrates a two-RBI hit... The teams exchanged zeros until the seventh inning when Michigan State (28-27) tied the game with an unearned run. Oregon (42-13) immediately answered, scoring two runs in its half of the inning. Dominic Hellman, who reached base four times (2-for-2, 2 BB) started the rally with a hit before being removed for pinch-runner Jax Gimenez. Jacob Walsh drew a 10-pitch walk, after falling behind 0-2 to start the at-bat, moving Gimenez to second. Drew Smith gave the Ducks the lead back driving in Gimenez with a base hit to left field and Aroz followed with an RBI single through the right side, scoring Walsh from second. Box Score Notes: The win was Oregon’s 11th in a row, matching its longest winning streak of the season (Feb. 22 – March 9) … Oregon can tie the longest winning streak in program history with a win on Friday … Umlandt’s quality start was his third in five starts this season … Mattox moved into a tie for 10th all-time in single-season saves at Oregon … Oregon moved its record in conference tournament games to 5-4 all-time … The Ducks are 11-1 in the month of May with their last loss coming at Michigan State on May 2. On Deck: Oregon will square off with Nebraska on Friday in a must-win game to advance to Saturday’s semifinals. Both teams are 1-0 in “Pool A” with only the pool winner advancing. First pitch is at 4:03 p.m. (PT) on the Big Ten Network.

YES! Now, Husk the Huskers!

Good workman like win for OBD, Aroz went 3-4, including a double, finished with 3 RBI, Player of the Game.

Ducks win 4-2 as Seth Mattox comes in and closes them out 1-2-3. I should not fret so much, as Garcia only had 15 pitches in his 1.3 innings, and Mattox only had 11 pitches in his inning. Yes, this win helps the national appearance, but the next three games are the money games. The good news is that we won without any one of our three starters, and our relievers did not pitch much.

4-2 Ducks after eight innings. Santiago Garcia puts them down 1-2-3, but we are using our best relievers for a non-counting game. I have no idea who we will turn to in the clutch in a few days... THREE MORE OUTS!

LOL! Why Oregon as new post-season beta sites? Stop beta-ing, and buckeye-ing, the Alpha Duck!

4-2 Ducks after seven innings as Umlandt gave up a run, and was replaced by Santiago Garcia to get the last out of the side. Dominic Hellman hits to short center field for a single, as it replaced by Jax Gimenez as a pinch runner. Jacob Walsh walks, and then Drew Smith scooped a curve ball out, and knocked it into left field to score the speedy Gimenez from second base. Anson Aroz hits a grounder to right field to score Walsh from second, but Our Beloved Ducks stranded two to end the inning again that could have sealed this game!

2-1 Ducks after six innings. I getting nervous as we are wasting innings where we don't score, and Umlandt is keeping us alive. Ian gave up a hit, but kept the inning scoreless again. Michigan State can play loose, go all-out, and play everyone as their season is done in an hour. I don't like this...

2-1 Ducks after five innings. Good thing Umlandt has had a good game thus far, as Oregon is having trouble getting the bats going at timely moments. Ian has 74 pitches after five innings, so perhaps he can go two more innings?
