  1. That is indeed a sign of resect for the Ducks. We get UCLA at The Jane for four games in April.
  2. There are rumblings that Russell Wilson is causing Seahawks fans to be and it could get so bad that he night be playing somewhere else next season, and the talk is that could be New Orleans. That would leave a gaping hole in Seattle behind the center and not much time to fill it. Enter Marcus Mariota. It's looking most likely that Las Vegas will cut Marcus, and it would not be that difficult for the Seahawks and Marcus to make a deal. A Duck being a Seahawk? I know, initially it doesn't seem right. But Ugo Amadi is making it work, and higher profile, it worked great the other way, Brandon Roy, a Husky became a beloved Portland Trail Blazer And if Marcus was a Seahawk, all their games would be on TV for us to watch in Oregon.
  3. I've watched Soccer on TV, purposely watched Timbers, and World Cup matches. The players are athletes and I respect what they do. But, when it comes down to it, I don't understand the game. Other than learning the best way to kick the ball, dribble it, that's the term, down the field. I don't understand what there is to practice? A player has the ball, he kicks it another player, and he or she does the same thing, and eventually one of them tries to kick it in the net. The entire game, and Extra time seems completely random. The only time it's really "competitive" is the shoot-out, kicker against goalie, and that favors the kicker 80% of the time. So, Soccer fans enjoy!
  4. The Ducks will have to spread the field with Percy on the line.
  5. I like it, watch out for Stony Brook. It looks like the Ducks will be at my predicted winner of the South, UCLA, so that will be tough, and at the end of the season at 2nd place, Utah. At UW. Oregon has to play the 4th place team in the North sometime, somewhere.
  6. We will never see any article like this from Washington, the Dynasty of NeverNeverland. The facts of Oregon's dominance in football, MBB & WBB in the conference is obvious everywhere but Washington. The Voice of the Huskies goes by "Softy". Softy had the misfortune of growing up drenched in purple, and it's too late to help him. But, if you're out walking, and you come upon somebody babbling, show them the way!
  7. Game Recap from goducks.com.
  8. Matt Muelbach is 1 for 1 after the Ducks took the first game of 3 they need to win to be back to back Pac-12 champs. The Ducks haven't lost to Arizona since 2018, and most recently the games have gone down to the last seconds, including OT, But even with a 7 minute drought in the first half without a basket, the Ducks led, 37-33 at halftime. Duarte finished with 22, Omoruyi had 21. Oregon shot 54.5% on 3's, 45.5% overall, outrebounded Arizona, 37-29, and a season low 7 turnovers.
  9. Yes, and he is always completely impartial. This could be because sometimes I'm not sure Bill knows, or cares, which teams are actually playing, but details, scmeetails.
  10. Will Washington only play home games again? How about, "Pac-12 After Dark"? These and other questions will be answered at 8:00 AM, Tuesday, March 2, in a 3 hour special hosted by Yogi Roth. From NBC Sports Northwest
  11. The answer to the question is YES! And it really isn't hard to do. The Trojans do have a storied past, emphasis on the past however, while the Mutts reside in Dreamland, where they're Bowed Down to.
  12. "That's the Conference Of Champions you're talking about"
  13. The wrap-up was kind to the Ducks. The hit by the leadoff batter for the Bruins technically was a double, because the RF for the Ducks came charging in on it, only to realize that if she had just backed up two feet she would have caught it, in the 7th inning she would actually drop t6he ball for a two base error, than there was the rundown between the 2nd and 3rd the Bruin baserunner escaped. Still, when the Ducks didn't make so many mistakes they beat the #1 Bruins, not bad being 9-1.
  14. There is still no doubt that Sewell will be the first offensive lineman taken in the NFL Draft. But, the latest mock drafts have the teams picking skill-position players instead, giving the Chargers, with the 13th pick, a chance to move up a few spots and reunite Sewell and Justin Herbert. From NBC Sports Northwest
  15. Oregon's freshman point guard missed season ending game against Oregon State, and the team certainly missed her, as the Beavers won. Now it appears the 4th seeded Ducks will have to find their way in the Pac-12 Tournament without her, hoping she'll be ready for the NCAA Tournament. From NBC Sports Northwest.
  16. After that mess of a loss to USC, thoughts of a championship for the Ducks seemed unlikely. But after the sweep of Stanford and Cal, the Ducks are just where they want to be. From 247sports.com
  17. Recap of the big day from goducks.com
  18. Could not agree more with your analysis of the game. Apparently Paopao was wearing a walking boot, and optimistically could be ready for the next game. The Ducks certainly missed her in this one. The Beavers played a great game, the Ducks looked completely disorganized. They never seemed to have any plan offensively, so just different players taking shots, save for the 2nd quarter when Prince got the ball, and scored 18. She wasn't nearly as effective in the 2nd half. It was a sad way for Erin Boley and Lydia Giomi to have their last game at MKA end, as for new players next season:
  19. Helfrich's career is thesis worthy. Altman, W's & L's is automatic, and the way he has managed to cobble teams together, peek at the right time, never a losing season at Oregon. How can he not be No.1? But, what Harter did with the Ducks was incredible. Mac Court wasn't. "The Pit" before he got there. The scoreboard didn't shake, the Lone Ranger wasn't at the games. Ronnie Lee is the all time scoring leader, in a slow down offense, without a 3 point line. No coach put more of a handprint on their teams culture, performance than Harter did with the Kamikaze Kids.
  20. The most impressive win for a Ducks team in a long time! It looked like they might have rally, but the Ducks don't fold, and go for the sweep tomorrow at 10:AM.
  21. THIS IS JUST TOO MUCH FUN, WE GOTTA
  22. That is exactly what Matt Muehlbach predicted at the end of "Basketball Postgame Report" last night.
  23. The greatest? That's hard. Altman is already has Hall Of Fame credentials. Back when Harter was coaching the Ducks, it was a lot harder to even get in the tournament. But the impact that Harter had at Oregon can not be overstated. He revolutionized they way basketball is played as much, if not more than did Chip in football. John Wooden hated the way Harter's teams played. Bruins didn't take charges, didn't dive for loose balls. UCLA was full out finesse and proud of it. If you came down the lane against Oregon you did it at your risk. If you kept doing it, you got an elbow in your neck. Chip was all about speed, Harter's teams played with no shot clock, sometimes to the extreme. By this time Wooden was gone from UCLA, but that didn't take anything away from the satisfaction of Oregon's 65-45 slow ball torture win at Pauley Pavilion. The Ducks got out to an 18-0 lead, then it was 20-2. Watching the Bruins chasing the ball, as the Ducks passed it around before getting a backdoor lay up was pure joy.
