"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..."

Gee, wonder where that money came from? Oregon State athletics reports record revenue, first surplus since 2013 WWW.OREGONLIVE.COM The school, able to use remodeled Reser Stadium for the first time, shows significant revenue...

Maybe we're seeing the "if Oregon wants him, he must be better than we thought" effect starting to take hold. The sign of a respected program.

The three most important things. Way to go, coach!

Where did you find an image of Finebaum smiling?

Seton Hall at #44? I didn't know there were Seton Hall fans.

Props for the research; great work!

Maybe he’s planning a vacation in Neskowin.

I'm starting to tune out when I read those three words. Too bad, I used to find Herbstreit worth listening to. But, now he seems to have become a shill for the interests of his network.

Don’t know if there’s much more left to say after that article. To the future!

These Ducks Wire 2025 position takes are very sunny, very optimistic. They could happen, maybe, possibly...but I take them with a grain or two of salt.

I'm at the acceptance stage. It's over and done with, and we'll never know why it happened. We all saw how it happened, but why is way too metaphysical a question for me. Time to flush it, move on and look to the future.

Great. Laying an egg in front of 21 million people.

No way I'm buying this rumor without additional confirmation. It's just way too convenient.

Kudos to you, Charles, for the concept of the site, and for the effort involved in keeping it a civil place. Every fan base is mostly nice, rational people; there are always exceptions, in the Ducks' case too, obviously.
