Well in hindsight, one observation from last year is that Jabbar Muhammad was nowhere close to as advertised. He was supposed to be a first round, shut down a side of the field kind of guy, there was a reason we brought him on. Secondary seems like it was actually pretty sub-par but we masked that for the most part against teams with a lot of relatively poor QB play. I would think/hope our young talent will really start to show in the secondary this year.

Most entertaining spring game since Marcus’ coming out party imo. Feels like we have 4 good QBs, but it’s always fun to watch people fall in love with the backup(s). I left the game feeling like we had a pretty clear #1 based upon upside and clear arm talent. Not trying to knock Novasad, as I think we’d do great with him, but he was 5 of 9 with the bulk of his numbers coming on one pass. I’m not drawing any conclusion from that. I’ll be surprised if we don’t lose him though, he seems very capable of being a starter on a top-20 team. My biggest takeaway is that it would be shocking to not win at least 10 games. The offense will do Oregon things no matter who is at QB, and I think the D will be as good as ever.

Ducks Beat Beavers for 4,100 Attending at PK Park, 4-2!

I’m not big on baseball, but was mesmerized by your updates! This calls for a stealth visit to a Beavis board! -
Should Oregon Ducks Retire Marcus Mariota's Jersey Number?
JabbaNoBargain replied to Smith72's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
BTW - I’d like to thank CU for really doing their part in helping the historic PAC succeed. CU hasn’t won a bowl game since 2004, when they took home the Houston Bowl trophy. -
Awesome!

Should Oregon Ducks Retire Marcus Mariota's Jersey Number?
JabbaNoBargain replied to Smith72's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Do what we do, it’s fine. Ditto CU. If they’re into retiring the number of a 2 year QB that led them to a 9-4 year his senior year with an Alamo Bowl loss, by all means, tell the world how good you are. -
Nico's a Bruin. BE TRUE TO YOUR SCHOOL, Right?
JabbaNoBargain replied to Jon Joseph's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
To me, sitting out just before the spring game and threatening to sit out prior to the playoff is different than taking a better deal in the off-season. Deserved to be roasted, take a pay cut, and reassigned to a terrible team. Well played. -
In our new world order this is usually a good sign.

JabbaNoBargain replied to Jon Joseph's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Did this actually happen? I heard not remotely close to a done deal. -
Not sure if there was a strategy here, but it backfired if there was. With the no transfer within the SEC spring rule he’s almost guaranteed he’ll have to enter the portal twice or take a lot less $$. Outside the SEC there are probably like 6 schools that would even entertain paying what he currently makes let alone what he was sitting out for.

Except Oregon already said no thanks, allegedly.

UT has reportedly let him go, and Oregon is mentioned as a school his agent reached out to…and we said hard pass. Sources - Tennessee moving on from starting QB Nico Iamaleava - ESPN WWW.ESPN.COM Tennessee is moving on from starting quarterback Nico Iamaleava, sources told ESPN, in the wake of his decision to not attend practice Friday amid NIL contract discussions with the school.

Pac-12: Remember That Quarterback League?
JabbaNoBargain replied to Charles Fischer's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Agree with everything you said, but I still miss all the competent offenses and familiar foes. Not being invisible and in financial ruin trump what I miss. -
IMO - LA will never be able to compete with the “not having anything else to do” edge they have in most college towns. Why would someone go watch crappy football when there are a hundred other things to do? Front-runner fans with good reason. It takes most of a Saturday to go see a game. Go to the Getty or watch my 3-7 Bruins play Purdue?

Pac-12: Remember That Quarterback League?

Not gonna lie, finances and being nationally invisible aside, I miss it. -
What? Beavers to the Big-12...
JabbaNoBargain replied to Charles Fischer's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
B12 has never been interested under any scenario, Why would they suddenly be interested in adding a couple outpost programs that add nothing to the mix? When the B12 went west they added the top programs from the cities of Phoenix, Tucson, SLC, and Denver. Why is now the time to willingly add some leaches? I find this a bit hard to believe. -
After last season, I think the crap shoot really is what happens if FSU loses by 28 at home to open the season? Lose by 50 get fired on the sideline? Great thread, gimme some football!

Didn’t scroll down far enough on the list of games, ND@Miami pretty epic on multiple levels
-
Hard to top that one! Depends on how they’re defining week zero this year There are several games on 8/23, but there are quite a few good/interesting first games (on paper at least) a week later. Alabama@FSU and Auburn@Baylor are the types of games that could lead to some very hot seats or some big program turnarounds. GaTech@CU very interesting game, ditto LSU@Clemson.
-
This. Florida lost in first round last year if I’m not mistaken. Wild thing about basketball is that one player can flip everything, anyone guessing anything prior to the portal running its course is just…guessing. As to Wilner, at this point he’s up there with clownzano in my world view.

Jackson Shelstad Returning to Oregon Ducks, Skipping NBA Draft
JabbaNoBargain replied to NJDuck's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Good news he’s not transferring or anything, we definitely need him! Funny how there seems to be 50 college teams with 3+ “draft worthy” players out there for a 2 round draft. -
My take is their short term greed killed them along with a commissioner more concerned about her job existing than the conference being successful. There was a moment in time when the PAC brand might have still relatively resonated, that they needed to immediately reverse merge with the MWC and negotiate a media deal that might have fetched $15-20m per team. But they took the short term cash hoping for who knows what. Now they’re holding onto a brand nobody cares about while creating a hostile and competitive market with the MWC. Well done piggies!
