Oregon Ducks RB Coach Ra'Shaad Samples to Turn Down Dallas Cowboys Job
30Duck replied to NJDuck's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
No doubt about that. However, in the Athlon article that was posted earlier, he said he wants to get beyond being a recruiter. A while back his dream was to be the youngest NFL coach in history. He's running out of time for that, but it seems like the NFL, where he will be able to coach, not just be valued as a recruiter, is where he wants to be. -
The article makes it look like he's going to Dallas.

LaMichael James is Oregon's All Time Best Running Back, Who's Next?
30Duck replied to 30Duck's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Absolutely agree with this, and Ahmad Rashad, (Bobby Moore} from Tacoma, was my first favorite Duck, as a WR, he'd be up on that all time list too. Bucky wasn't around long, but what a mark he left. Forever, the question about Oregon RB's will be, "Can he be another Bucky?" -
Women's basketball is as unpredictable in the B1G as the Men's. Oregon got off to a great start and beat Michigan State, to raise their conference record to 7-3, Michigan is 5-5. Today, Michigan got off to a hot start, outscoring Oregon, 25-15 in the 1st quarter, they lead 38-24 at halftime.

B1G vs. SEC: Top-Heavy or Balanced? Which IS Better?
30Duck replied to FishDuck Article's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Moore to Moore, thunder & lightning RB's, Oregon's secondary has their eyes right, -3.5 @ Penn State! -
If this Oregon team played the Kamikaze Kids 10 times, the Kamikaze Kids would win 10 times. I'm not sure if this year's team would survive the pregame Stare Down. ESPN college basketball analyst Jeff Borzello unveiled his latest men's power rankings on Thursday, dropping Oregon from No. 15 to No. 21 while criticizing the Ducks' poor play in January. "They haven't looked the part in a few weeks," Borzello wrote. "Going 4-3 in January, including a 32-point home loss to Illinois and a road defeat at Minnesota." Oregon’s six-spot drop was the largest of any team in Borzello’s top 25, and he backed it up with some advanced statistics that highlight the Ducks' recent struggles. "According to BartTorvik.com, Oregon's adjusted efficiency margin this month is down at No. 72 nationally," Borzello wrote. "In Big Ten games, the Ducks rank 13th in offensive efficiency at KenPom and 11th in defensive efficiency." The ESPN analyst's rankings were released before the Ducks fell at UCLA 78-52 on Thursday, indicating that they'll likely drop further in his next edition.

B1G vs. SEC: Top-Heavy or Balanced? Which IS Better?
30Duck replied to FishDuck Article's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
But Texas again won't be in the "Beating each other up" group, while Georgia is a punching bag. If we consider FanDuel’s odds as representative of the best teams in the conference next year, take the top 6 and look at the schedules. Georgia faces 4 of the other 5 teams. Alabama plays 3 of the other 5 teams. Ole Miss, Tennessee, and LSU play 2 apiece. And then there’s Texas, which will face only 1 -
No doubt. Even with the rest of the Softies, with Dante, they're Sweet 16 at least.

It worked for Cronin and UCLA. Maybe they were "soft", but hard to say they were "softer" than Oregon, through the wins and losses. Altman isn't going to go public. So, what has he done? 16-5 still has Oregon on the 4 line, but Altman can't be thinking that's okay. None of us are basketball technicians, but the poor rebounding, lack of movement, bad shot selection, slow starts, the 2 most important players disappearing in consecutive games is hard to miss. The 16-5 is okay now, 5-5 in the remaining 10 games would set the record at 21-10 before the B1G tournament. probably wouldn't be enough for a top 4 double bye.

Does Oregon’s Defense Need to Change for 2025?
30Duck replied to FishDuck Article's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
This is troubling, it seems like something coaches would be able to pick up and correct. Did they not see it? Bad. Did they see it and not do anything about it? Worse. It also goes to my idea that the best defenses aren't reactive, as in responding to what the offense does, but are in a position that dictates the action. -
This is ridiculous, Oregon was undefeated, unfortunately, it turns out, won the B1G Championship Game, again, unfortunately, but their run for the Natty was stopped abruptly by an osu2, that, it turns out fortunately, didn't go undefeated, and fortunately again, completely missed the B1G Championship Game, and joined the list of 2 loss champions.

Michigan Scandal: This Is Gonna Be Juicy!
30Duck replied to Intravenus de Milo's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
I don't think UW hates the Cougars, I think it's the same as with us towards the Beavs, they're the little pests next door, annoying, sometimes extremely annoying, but I don't think it ever reaches the level of hate between UO and UW. Basically, UW doesn't care what WSU does, but the Rose Bowl for Oregon made their year! -
I'm with you here, and I think "SOFT" is the word we're looking for. I think they were just as soft early in the season, the shots just went in, the comebacks came because shots went in. Rebounding requires effort, blocking out, jumping. Taking 3's is the easiest thing to do. This team is soft and doesn't have the chemistry that the other Altman teams had that enabled them to turn it around at the end of the season. Bittle, Shelstad, Bamba, none of them have shown the desire, let alone the ability, to take this team on their backs, Bittle and Shelstad have disappeared completely the last two games. Bamba is a shooting guard that can't shoot. His offense is barreling into the basket occasionally, while the other players watch. Defense too is about communication, this team isn't good in defending 3's and just as bad in the paint, time after time not communicating, making switches and allowing lay-up after lay-up. The Bracketology I just saw has Oregon as a 4. A 4 is a really good team, there's still a chance, but it's going to be HARD for this team to end up a 4.

B1G vs. SEC: Top-Heavy or Balanced? Which IS Better?
30Duck replied to FishDuck Article's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Nobody knew how hard NIL and the transfer portal was going to hit Paul Finebaum, the poor guy has been knocked for a loop. Saban saw what was coming and got out. Finebaum stayed, and along with Herbie, is stuck. The SEC is not elite any longer. "The B1G might have won the last two championships, but top to bottom, we're better!" So, what. Your 11th week Mercer game is going to look really bad from now on. Vandy beat 'Bama, so did Oklahoma. If an SEC team does win the Natty in the next couple years it won't mean the whole conference is fantastic. Ohio State, Oregon, Penn State, Michigan aren't going anywhere. They'll be right there. Indiana, Washington, USC, Illinois, could all have strong seasons. The SEC Top Heavies carried the conference for a long time. The B1G can do that too. -
This is what is so frustrating, exasperating. 16-5 is a good record, 8 Quad1 wins is top level. But this team is so flawed, It could be 19-3, or 11-10, so 16-5 is just about right. The early come from behind wins were fun, it built up a confidence for the players, but that was a mistake. I wouldn't bet on Oregon +20 against Alabama now. The defense can't stop points in the paint or 3's. There's no movement on offense, it's one of them shoots a 3, or it's a shot clock violation, occasionally, Bamba will take it to the basket, which is good because our shooting guard's range is 5 feet and in. Bittle was MIA against Minnesota, Shelstad was MIA against the Bruins last night. Rebounding is effort, blocking out. The Ducks are awful at rebounding. The offense is stagnant. If somehow the shots drop, Oregon will stay in the game, if they aren't, we've seen what happens. Is this team going to do what Altman's teams have done in the past? Their next game is Nebraska, at MKA, who is 1-6 in their last games, The 1 win was over Illinois last night, how about that MKA homecourt advantage?

From down 50-40 to down, 71-44. 21-4 in about 5 minutes.
-
Had the lead down to 10, then the Ducks go 5:52 with no points, Shelstad still 0 points.
-
Oregon 3-16 on 3's, Shelstad, 0-2 on 3's, his only shots, 0 points. Oregon 34% shooting overall, 12 rebounds 7 assists. UCLA 39% on 3's, 55% overall, 21 rebounds, 9 assists.

Does Oregon’s Defense Need to Change for 2025?
30Duck replied to FishDuck Article's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
It definitely looks like it wasn't the flu, and though the scheme might need some alterations, bigger, faster, better players will make the most difference. I feel like if the Stop Rate were to be checked for OBD over the years No.32 would probably pretty steady. The D this year certainly had its moments last season, but it was against Wisconsin, and 10 sacks on UW was fun, but that says as much about a weak UW OL, as an overpowering Oregon DL. We didn't have a lockdown corner or a safety that struck fear to opposing receivers or lethal linebackers. Until Oregon gets defensive players good enough to get Oregon into the top half 10 of Stop Rate, and be drafted along with Ohio State and Georgia, the Natty will be a hard get. -
B1G Win for the Lady Ducks 63-59 over Michigan State!
30Duck replied to 30Duck's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
It was the first loss for Michigan State at home, so Oregon snapped that streak and MSU's current 5 game winning streak. Oregon is currently on a 4 game winning streak. with an average score of 59-52. Oregon came in dead last in 3 pt, shooting, cooled off a bit, but still finished 6-14, 42.9, while Michigan State who leads in 3 % finished 4-16, 25%. It got scary with Kyei on the bench, but after missing free throws earlier, she hit 3 at the end, hers was a dominating game we haven't seen from a player on either Oregon team this season.
