I was afraid to login because I thought maybe I was "that" guy?!!

I love this girl's smile! Her game is almost certainly there too! If she get's the killer, Sabrina, instincts she will be a force in the Pac and the NCAA. I told my friends that by the end of this season I expect these ladies to make at least the Elite 8. They all have a few things to work on and clean up but I expect coach Graves will have them tuned up by the Pac tourney.

He just needs to clean up a couple of things in his game and I think he'll be ready for the NBA. Maybe ride the pine a little more than Prichard but he'll be ready. So I doubt he sticks around for another year.

Let me throw something out there. When I went skydiving I had to sign a waiver to waive my rights for insurance because the potential to die is real. Even though I paid and still pay for insurance those kind of activities are not covered if I chose to risk my life. To me this pandemic is the similar in that the potential to die is there. The difference? One risks other peoples lives. You chose to skydive and die? That's on you. You catch this disease you potentially die but more importantly you potentially kill others. You get contact traced if you get an STI/STD and your name goes on a list. This situation is very similar. Finally, if you kill someone it is either murder or manslaughter correct? If one knowingly gives other people covid and they die what does that make one? In this litigious society I am surprised no shark has jumped on that?!

This is the biggest jinx for Duck sports! The basket seems to closed on the men in Colorado...it's amazing that the Buffs can't beat the Ducks anywhere else but there.

Basketball is my first love! The young women are amazing. Coach Graves has done an amazing job with this team. I think they are very talented from 1-10. Couldn't say that about previous years--but Ducks didn't really need that with the big three. I wish Sedona would shoot the ball from the high post. She is open quite a bit with the other teams appearing to dare her to take the shot! She's got great touch and hits the mid-range jumpers with ease. She does that and she'll get double-teamed leaving our outside shooters available to hit some big threes or a backdoor cutter for an easy deuce.

I have to say that both young men, Marcus and Justin, have great character. Why else would Marcus' ex-teammates be rooting for him when he got a chance to play for the Raiders? They are the epitome of team first players. That is something that has been lost in this me-first era. If Marcus plays again I will definitely fly to see when he and Justin play head-to-head. I must admit I feel a sense of pride whenever I see any former Ducks play at the next level!!

Newbie here! Thanks for this forum Mr. FishDuck! I love how coach recruits and the culture that he has implemented. I do agree that he needs to let JoMo control the offense because every opponent knows the play when Cyrus is the back in the pistol! Did anyone notice during the game when the camera was on JoMo and coach? Did it look like they were discussing the next play or couple of plays? Was I the only one that thought coach was saying no to JoMo on his planned play(s)?
