So, the Ducks will have two Anthony Joneses and may have two D. Raiolas? Better get the nicknames ready.

I don't even remember some of these guys, do you? The portal is crazy, with one former Duck on his 5th school in 5 years. I guess the grass is many different colors out there. https://247sports.com/college/oregon/longformarticle/how-former-oregon-ducks-performed-at-new-schools-in-2025-transfer-protal-271731585/#2782517

Played on the D line at Clemson, but will be a TE in Eugene.

"These are players at who would start for 98 percent of college football, 99-percent," So says "portal expert" Cooper Petagna. It's an interesting read about the near future of the sport.

"Lower my standards? You get what you ask for..." I gotta disagree with this. What "standards" we as fans have mean absolutely nothing to a teams' performance. We watch, speculate and discuss, but we have nothing to do with how a team conducts itself. Sometimes, it seems that fans with "high standards" hold themselves up as somehow better fans than those who don't share those standards. I'm not saying you feel that way, but you can have any and all the standards you want, and that will have nothing to do with how a team performs. If it did, all teams would be undefeated.

Dante Moore>Dylan Raiola>Akili Smith Jr.>Bryson Beaver...sounds good to me.

Mike, that is the right attitude. Getting there is more than half the fun.

And, a new safety. https://duckswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/ducks/football/2026/01/12/oregon-football-carl-williams-iv-transfer-portal/88146493007/

I guess there was no persuading Harris to stick around. https://duckswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/ducks/football/2026/01/12/oregon-football-jay-harris-transfer-kansas-state/88145724007/

I say the glass is more than half-full. And, it's a good-looking glass, too.

It's not a disgrace. Indiana is just too good for any team in college football this season.

Jay Harris and Daylen Austen and Kyler Kasper All supposedly stepping into the vortex.

Not looking good for Cantwell. 5-star OT Jackson Cantwell trending away from Oregon Ducks in latest projections DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM 5-star offensive tackle Jackson Cantwell appears to be trending away from the Oregon Ducks, according to the latest projections.

For an old guy, he's pretty good at trolling.

So much for subject matter knowledge, proofreading and accuracy... "The Ducks are losing a ton at the position with the departures of start Jeffrey Bassa and Bryce Boettcher..."
