Sounds like big boy football to me! Think this might become common in the new landscape of college football. Weaken opposing teams coaching staffs by plucking them away for your own good. This will tell whether Oregon is ready imo. I just hope the running backs room doesn't him!

Yes Gonzaga and SDSU are two teams I keep an eye on outside of the Ducks. I've always loved how they crash the boards and are fundamentally sound but still aggressive. SDSU is my hometown team dating back to Tony Gwynn and Micheal Cage days. I was just more interested to find out if anyone knew if Altman pursued Gregg out of high school or if he had more interest in Spokane and Gonzaga. I follow football recruiting more but don't remember Gregg's name popping up in any recruiting conversations. Bittles name was all over the place around that time. Would've loved to have seen both of them playing together in an Oregon uniform.

I'll be honest, I don't pay attention to basketball as much any more outside of tournament time. I see Ben Gregg from Gonzaga played at Clackamas. Did Dana and the Ducks ever pursue him? I selfishly hope he enters the transfer portal and comes back home to play! Dang he has fun, handles the ball well, looks to have huge bball IQ, and shoots the ball REALLY WELL from anywhere! The whole portal thing drives me crazy. In this case I wouldn't have any problems with it.

I have to say I struggle with the way Altman never seems happy but he's one frickin great coach! My brother is an avid Arizona fan and absolutely hates the Ducks(which of course I have a lot of fun with). I was trying to talk to him after game game last night. He was disappointed the cats couldn't make shots and blamed the players. Altman's in game adjustments create so much confusion for opposing teams and causes those missed shots imo. Altman knew the ducks got blown out twice trying to run with a more talented Arizona team so he slowed the game down and completely made a mess for Arizona last night (and Colorado tonight). While I think Boyle coached a great game, he just lost, Floyd got completely out coached and couldn't figure out how to fix it. A simple press might've helped but he didn't. That's on Altman! Whatever he does behind the scenes that puts a team with multiple injuries year in and year out in the think of it every year is very admirable, almost magical!

At least Colorado basketball team knows what it's like to win a big game! Doubt Deion was watching.

I hope the "settlement" had nothing but 0000's in it. A man of integrity would've/should've done that!

I remember when USC "out recruited" the Ducks and still got their butt beat! I haven't feared the Trojans for years cause they don't coach their recruits. Thankfully the Ducks have staff that can recruit AND coach!!

Fun to see lil ole Oregon up there with the likes of crazy arse fans. Hum...I guess that makes us crazy arse fans! Buffs will be irrelevant once they make their slash, I mean thud in the Big 12. I give that two years max.

Wow...crazy! I remember days of reading sport, sports illustrated, and sporting news(and their box scores) front cover to back! Sad it's come to this with printed media!

He'll learn to get his hand offs down really well!

"...you guys that just got here don't know what it means, but it means something to be an Oregon Duck!" Imagine this statement being one of the first statements you hear if you are new and sitting in on one of his first team meetings. I gotta think they are sitting there thinking...I'm going to be well taken care of for the next 3+ years! Guessing this is also why so few have left via the transfer portal.

I was thinking the same thing but decided not to include that part of it!! Think the duck has a better chance to go than Deion!

My money's on Deion! Now wouldn't that be hilarious!? Wonder how fast that program would implode with him around!!? I don't see Sark or Kiffin going either. They're already big fish in football towns. Just right for their egos!!

I said it at the beginning of the season so I'll say it again...JPJ for my money. Led what many believed might be a suspicious unit this year to one of the best in the country. As far as defense goes, that's a tough one since most everyone improved and played hard. Can I say, I look forward to the future potential of Matayo (don't ask me to spell his last name), Purchase, and Tuioti(yes I cheated this time)! Those dudes motors are racing at all times. I look forward to seeing how they are used the next couple years!!

DL all in on Oregon with his pendant at half time.
