With the "academic prowess" at UW, won't this wipe them out? Only 22 of 130 NCAA FBS-level schools say they have plans to provide allowed academic bonus payments to athletes this year WWW.ESPN.COM With colleges allowed to pay each of their athletes up to $5,980 per year as a reward for academic performance, only 22 of 130...

It's something in Washington. The Seahawks and Texas A & M both use the "12".

That is some great stuff, and absolutely ends on a high note!

Every day we see another reason why it was so good that Lanning took the job. Connection to KC kept Dontae Manning at Oregon 247SPORTS.COM The Transfer Portal has become a polarizing trend in college football. For the players, it grants them freedom. An opportunity...

I just wondered if Carter actually told Rothstein every school on this list without looking.

Well, another Lady Duck is leaving, and this was just after hearing Graves on "Talkin' Ducks last night about how Pinto still being here was something that he and the fans could feel good about.

And this is with "Prevent Offense"

But they didn't drop very far.

Never mind that he ran a 10.3!

Everything I see about what Lanning and his coaches are going to do at Oregon just makes it harder to wait for the season to start!

Among the very good stuff, He says he wasn't "frustrated" by last season, and that he's improved on "decision making." Both very good signs for the upcoming season.

I did appreciate that he didn't utter the "Once a Duck Always a Duck" I actually cringe when I hear it. A couple of the softball players after they left with White to Texas used it in their message to the fans. Besides it ringing with insincerity, it's also factually not true. If you're a Longhorn, you aren't a Duck!

Now this is how a school starts getting players like this on a regular basis. Oregon Recruiting: Mookie Cook pulls for Kwame Evans to come to Eugene DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM “That would be a big, big pickup.” Oregon’s Mookie Cook isn’t hiding the fact that he wants Kwame Evans, the No. 2 player in 2023, to...

Bell, Bol Bol, Bouchet, Wooten, all great Ducks. But I'm hoping for BIg, as old school as today's game permits. The best that, Bell, and Wooten offered was on D, and Bol wasn't a in the paint, back to the basket Center, neither was Bouchet. The closest Oregon has, and he isn't there yet, is Dante becoming a Deandre Ayton, now starting for the Phoenix Suns. I look forward to having a 5 who is a legitimate threat to score inside, which would lead to making scoring from outside even easier.

That is a great question, Charles. Any sound emanating from Washington, including Mark Emmert, can most accurately be classified as "noise" A sound, especially one that is loud or unpleasant, or causes disturbance.

It does seem that the days of, "You've got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em" are done.

I've been on and off the Gonzaga Bandwagon! They got blitzed by Baylor in the championship game last season, with a much better team than this season, which saw them get knocked out earlier than expected. Gonzaga, it turns out is the Cincinnati last football season, of basketball. The Zags play, and win the championship, of their conference every season, and win, and lose, big OOC games, and they always make it to the Sweet 16. But after that it's sour. So, I;m done with the Zigs. Go Ducks, who will be the dominant team in the Pacific Northwest.

Yep, Kel' el Ware comes in with a lot of accolades as Oregon hopes yet again to find a BIG that really delivers. Bittle had moments during games that, but yes, wasn't consistent. Franck also had stretches, mainly fueled by his energy.

I liked what he had to say. Bear in mind, I think losing 3 1 run games hurts a lot more than getting blown out of would have. That series showed that the Ducks aren't there yet. But it sounds like the Ducks will learn from what happened against the Bruins and get back on track.

This is the uniform when I remember Marcus.
