Justin Herbert Pre-Draft Quote That Didn't Age Well
Matt Miller, McShay, how do they still have their jobs? The fact that they have a new Mock Draft every week is evidence that none of them mean anything. My Aunt could do a Mock Draft.

Whew! Watch Bo Nix When He Played for Dillingham Before...
I was happy when Nix showed up at Oregon and everything we've seen, heard about the QB competition sounds like it's bringing out the best from Nix, Thompson and Butterfield. These highlights of Nix are great to see and if he wins the spot, great, and if Thompson or Butterfield emerge as the starter, greater still!

Oregon Football: Culture Cannot Be Just a Buzzword
Very true about that every team has a culture, how palpable the culture is it what counts. Kelly's teams had it dripping off them, then it practically evaporated under Helfrich. Taggart was flying high until he flew the coop, Mario definitely had one, his teams were going to run through a brick wall, over and over and over. Lanning has learned from the best on how to create and maintain a culture. Kirby learned from Saban, Lanning from Kirby. You play as you practice, and you don't take a play off if you want to make the playoffs.

The Re-Branding of Oregon's Defense
We aren't just talking about a new nickname, this is a complete makeover of the Oregon defense that will take the field next season. How about an emphasis on stopping the run? That's the plan.

Riley says he Hopes he Can Describe USC's Offense in Two Words
This was in an article that was too much Trojan to bring over here, and the words were a little lacking coming out of Hollywood and from a guy who's house has 12 bathrooms. The 2 words were, "really nice" Now, what two words do you hope will describe Oregon's offense next season?

Yes, That's Snow Out There!

Honeymoon Or Courtship Period?
A lot of perspectives here, Hayward. I'd say we're in the Honeymoon rather than the Courtship phase because Lanning has been hired, the job is his. The games haven't been played yet, but there is no off time for a coach of a winning program and Lanning has definitely been taking care of business.

Oregon Keeps Another In State Player: WR Cole Prusia

Conerly Decision Boosts Ducks Cachet with Elite RB
I hope it isn't snowing on the Spring Game. Getting the No.1 OL should definitely bring a smile to the face of RB Richard Young about Oregon as he goes through his selection process.

No Dye? Don't Cry. Here's Why.
We definitely know this. Chip had a scheme, Mario had a scheme, Lanning and Dillingham look to have a scheme, and a "fun" one, for the players and the fans. Without the name on the jersey now, I won't even know it's Dye if I see the Trojans play next season.

Should Oregon Replace Kepnang?
I agree completely with your roster design, Graziani93. Oregon has more than enough Bigs and each can use minutes to improve. Ware is the new guy. The Ducks need, like you said, fast, aggressive mid-size players that can take the ball to the basket, shoot, and make free throws!

Josh Conerly and the Realities of Recruiting
The interesting, and I'll put a positive spin on it, is that unlike at A & M, Texas, Tennessee, to name a few, nothing NIL about Conerly and Oregon was released. This was a big splash and Oregon went with subtlety.

OBD Lands 2022 5-Star Josh Conerly Jr.!
It seems to me, now, that Riley fits perfectly at USC and Lanning, the same at Oregon, switching them seems like it would be a mess.

Should Oregon Replace Kepnang?
His stats don't jump off the page, but Big Franck definitely left big shoes to fill when he entered the Transfer Portal. Might be able to find a replacement in the same size, but not the same style. 5 big men the Oregon Ducks should pursue in the NCAA transfer portal DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM The Oregon Ducks could use a fourth big man to replace Franck Kepnang. Here are five names in the NCAA transfer portal who...

Softball: Coach Lombardi Faces Her Biggest Challenge
Coach Lombardi is in the situation that no coach ever wants to be in. In the game on Saturday Oregon led ASU 4-0. But ASU scored 6 runs in the 6th inning, aided by some costly errors by the No.1 ranked defense in the conference. Now Lombardi has to take the team on the road to Arizona, Softball, like basketball, is incredibly tough in the Pac-12, this season can still be very good for Oregon. But they need to get some wins.

Josh Conerly and the Realities of Recruiting
Kurt Rambis, I should read the article, but I can't imagine that it says anything better than what you wrote, It doesn't matter what the recruiting environment is, UW & USC fans will never believe that any player would actually pick Oregon over their schools.

Is UW Running Practices Like a School for Puppies?
I could not get past this in the story: Kelen DeBoer and his staff have laid out a detailed diagram for the UW players to succeed, both in football and in school. Those who follow it are told to expect rewards. Those who don't will be weeded out. And slapped on their nose with a newspaper! 3 Huskies Poised to Become Starters Who Haven't Been WWW.SI.COM These UW players have run with their respective No. 1 units since spring practice began.

For UW's Sam Taimani, Transferring to Oregon was a "No Brainer"

Oregon's Biggest Win of Dan Lanning Era Sparks Collective Cheer
Absolutely right. Any school can have new uniforms for every game, Oregon made it "Must See". Oregon is a Brand; USC is a Brand. UW is?
