Just one more sign that this kid is going to do big things on the field! Wowza good for him!

Watched him in college and as a Blazer. No center has made his surrounding cast better and efficient. Bobby Gross lived off Walton's passing wizardry. Lloyd Neal too. L Hollins, Larry Steele and Sidney Wicks were so much better with him in the center spot. His NCAA final championship was amazing...he was like 22 out of 23 from the floor and blocked shot after shot on D. An amazing man who dearly loved the state of Oregon

I sure am glad you clarified the topic.

John Joseph, Sir, You stated, "(...enemies closer)". Believe you meant [and] keep your enemies closer. The NCAA is no friend to the Ducks, and I would be surprised if any B1G team was a friend to any new team arriving in the conference to potentially knock any and all off their accustomed perch.

Terrific article. Thank you. B1G coaches have B1G things to say about the Ducks. https://athlonsports.com/college-football/big-ten-coaches-talk-anonymously-about-conference-foes-for-2024

I was gutted when Pre died. Today feels the same. Though Bill's record-setting days were over, unlike Pre's, he was living his best life as an elder statesman and broadcaster. My two childhood heroes gone. I ran track and played basketball because of those two athletes. Bill turned me into a Deadhead too. It all rolls into one.....

Old faces in new places. Fortunately or unfortunately, I can't decide which, I recall all of these games except for the CUSA game involving Missouri State. OBD - 39, 38, and 8.

Greg Sankey weighs in on the post-House settlement future of college sports. Emerson: What Greg Sankey didn't say may be as important as what he did WWW.NYTIMES.COM Which side of Sankey will win out? That could help determine what's next for college sports. Tony Petitti? I'm hoping the B1G commissioner will not sit back; he will be as upfront as Sankey and be prepared to skewer the SEC's CFB 8-game conference schedule and too many playoff sites in Dixie and not in the West and the Midwest. Jim Delany was far from a shrinking violet. The accommodation between the Power 2 is nice so long as Petitti doesn't take a back seat.

Great analysis and we will ROCK, but maybe paper, or scissors. You raise a great point on looking for patterns and signals while trying to figure out what Stein will call. Much like the game of rock, paper, scissors Stein is playing a game where our patterns are just there to set you up to fail. The explosive plays happen when you think you know, maybe make a sudden bad choice, and the rock goes the other direction. As the summer heats up, the juices for Oregon Football start flowing in earnest. Thanks for feeding the furnace with some awesome fuel.

He was the best player in Idaho when recruited, and the coaches made a very big deal about it. Since then--Will Stein has mentioned often how he creates difficult matchups for defenders; Sadiq can block the smaller, faster defensive backs who can cover him on pass patterns, but Sadiq can burn linebackers on pass routes when they are assigned to him to stuff the run-blocking. He is quite the hybrid-player, and I expect do see more plays with him.

My tech guy was supposed to do that and a couple of projects a month ago. But some more urgent projects were jumped ahead of me, and I have to wait my turn. He dropped everything to help me when the site went down for two days in April, so now I have to let emergency situations with his other clients stand ahead of me in line.

Not just a well designed play but a plus athlete carrying the ball. A less quick athlete would have be tackled early on and he is considered a tight end! Good coaching and good players are hard to beat!

Oregon was not the only one hosed by the NCAA again, as Oregon State was given a No. 15 National Seed, when they had been No. 5 or No. 6 for most of the season? No. 15? Oh wait...wasn't UC Santa Barbara, where Oregon is going the 14th National Seed? They were ranked higher than Oregon State? And within that Corvallis Regional is UC Irvine, who hovered between No. 12 and No. 18 for most of the season....placed in the same regional?

Dr. Roger J. Thompson Jr., EdD, is leaving his post, most recently as Vice President for Student Services and Enrollment Management. That means it was his signature that was on the line for every student and student athlete admitted to Oregon. As you can imagine, there were probably more than a few times coaches were in his ear lobbying for certain athletes to be admitted. Roger always had a keen eye for students in general and student athletes who may not have always had the highest test scores or GPAs but would be good ambassadors for the Oregon brand. He didn’t always bat 1,000, but I think he put up triple hall of fame numbers. Here’s hoping his replacement is just as dedicated to Oregon and Oregon sports as Roger was.

Thompson, EdD | Saint Mary's College WWW.STMARYS-CA.EDU For decades, this former University of Oregon senior leader has bolstered student enrollment at several institutions.

A Duck fan and a Stones fan is a beautiful combo. I totally relate. My passion for the Ducks and the Stones is the exact same as Bill's was for the Dead.
