Coach Altman just gets his players to play they need to play at the end of the year. This is his 11th year and no matter how many new players are on the team everyone in the conference knows that the Ducks will be a tough out. I wonder if some of the players that left early would have stayed how many NCAA final fours and championships would there have been? Payton shows what four years under Altman can get a player!

I don't see the women getting past the second round. With all the talent on the team there isn't a strong leader to push the team like Sabrina did for four years. They lack that strong personality. What do you think? Have a look at this article.

Remember 2019? They played eight games in 17 days. They had to play all four rounds of the Pac-12 tournament and won. I agree with geo!

I hope he is the best QB for TT just because of all the adversity that he had to face. I agree that he would not have started for the Ducks had he stayed.

As a side note, I didn't go to the last Rose Bowl because I hedged my bets for the guaranteed game against Utah. My friends sent plenty of pictures of me at the Pac-12 Championship game they captured off their TVs at home.

I don't know which Rose Bowl I enjoyed more: Wisconsin or Florida State. They were both fun to watch but there were more trash talkers from Wisconsin that couldn't believed they lost. The whole stadium knew who was going to win the Florida State game! I enjoyed giving the trash talker from Texas A&M the business about Winston as a QB though.

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale. A tale of a fateful trip...Just seeing the video makes me smile. Not only for the win, the curvature of the field, but the old uniforms! Huard still hears it from Ducks everywhere he goes...🤣

Marcus has a better arm than Cam! The Patriots would be a great destination for him.

I would have to agree with you about the ladies Mudslide. Since I played and coached there are a few issues I see. The pick and roll was executed well by Sabrina and Ruthie. Now we have bad picks and a lazy roll or a good pick with no roll, which clogs up an area of the court, along with a lazy pass. The best picks have been set by Lydia but she isn't rewarded. There are poor switching defenses and double teams. Leaving a shooter open to double team a post player who is already being guarded well? How many point blank shots have ricocheted off the back board? No touch or feel on those. They are a young team and they will get better but I can't help but scream at my 75" TV. The men also have instances of lazy passing, poor defending, and flat out not making the extra pass--you have to trust your teammate will make the open shot. They are rounding into form of a coach Altman team. When they are on they will be hard to stop. I must say that Franck plays the game like he enjoys it! Teams and players are fun to watch when it seems like they are enjoying themselves. The floor is an odd thing though. Is it on top of an ice rink?

WEll, it looks like I'm going to the ticket market and planning my trip to Ohio!

Does anyone know if this game will be made up? I heard a "rumor" that if the two schools can't agree on a makeup date, in the relative near future, that the game this fall will be done at a neutral site. If a "neutral" site is chosen I hope Las Vegas would be the the best place chosen. As much as I like Dallas, I am not a fan of "Cowboys" stadium and that always seems to be the stadium chosen for "neutral" site games like Oregon v. Auburn. On a side note, for a stadium that holds 120K people tOSU is only giving UofO 5K tickets. I know I won't be one of those lucky 5K but I would definitely buy tickets to see the game!

I read that article this morning. It's pretty amazing how well he's doing with his limited minutes. Oregon fans have a reason to be proud with Brooks, Boucher, and Pritchard.

I think we all can agree that going further in the draft is the best thing for Herbert or any young QB. You get to a team that doesn't necessarily need the QB to be ready to play and usually has some O line and D to ensure the QB doesn't get hammered into an injury mired career. Herbert's success does appear to prove that Oregon doesn't coach up players. The greats have that drive/ability and the rest are just good/average team players. I hope to see Herbert (and Mariota) play for as long as he's able. Good guys are not always featured in sports so I try to root for them as much as possible.

Those are the two I told my friends about! JTT will be MONSTROUS get!! AD will definitely be an awesome addition.

I guess dad is OK with the commit as long as it wasn't tOSU...🤣

I would take Dixon and Masoli. Dixon could have won the Heisman if it weren't for the ligament tear. The Ducks were on a tear and no one in the nation could see where the ball was when he was "handing" it off. He was adept at keeping TV cameras, announcers, and the entire other team trying to figure out if he was going to hand-off, pass, or run. You would here "PASS!" as the running back was running down the sideline with the ball or "RUN!" as a receiver was getting open for a pass. I would call him The Magician. Masoli, on the other hand wasn't about being tricky. He had speed, toughness, and surprisingly a pretty good arm. He could run over any of the DBs the Fuskies could field or throw right over them.

I was only able to watch the first set. The women looked pretty darn good. I believe it was #17 Borup who looked massive in the center. She had a few good digs and a really nice kill from the back.

Track town USA! The team is good every year.

Weren't there questions earlier about why LJF and CD were at the games even though they were masked up? Stay home when you're sick. It's the right thing to do.

That kid will do us all proud!

One of my favorite QBs. He was stout...

Just saw her at the end of Q3. She isn't dressed but she's there. No reports on an injury or anything else.

Never mind, I think that is Kylee

I thought I saw her sitting on the seat next to Sabally.
