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.

Yep, that's No.1 for me too. Big Lew, and Reggie Ogburn looked great in those Duck uniforms. Brings back memories of Tom Blanchard, Tom Graham, Bob Newland, Leland Glass...

We can't read the article, but the Twitter says it all. So far, the competition for starting QB is bringing out the best in all 3 of them.

I don't have his time, but I know that Tyner was very fast as well, and bigger than both Dat and Devon.

I look at this rule a bit like people in Phoenix must think of the weather reports they get from their TV stations every day, "It will be another scorcher, 112, but it's a dry heat" After a while nobody pays any attention, some might even wonder why the guy is getting paid to say the same thing day after day. Along with being, The Forum with Decorum" this is also a place where, with our rules and guidelines, great discussions take place. This is made easier because there is a lot for Duck fans to talk about. It was a rough weekend for the Bats and balls bunch, but don't let your feathers' get ruffled, the season is long, and the wins will come. Football is King of course, and I can't even imagine an off season like this one! There is so much to look forward to about the season coming up, and no doubt there will be laughs aplenty to share about the school from up North! I think we're on the doorstep of the best Oregon football ever, and I'm quackin' up

It truly was. As much as we credit Chip for revolutionizing college, and pro football, Dick Harter, the Kamikaze Kids, and Mac Court, did the same in college basketball. UCLA was on top, and it was finesse, with a capital F. Enter Dick Harter and defense with a capital D. Nobody was taking charges, or really making a player think twice about getting to the rim. That all changed with Harter and Oregon, and then you put that in. "The Pit?

The last time I watched an NBA game from start to finish, Clyde the Glide was playing for the Blazers. NBA Playoffs I can watch off and on, the Final Match-up I want is Memphis in the West and defending champ, Milwaukee in the East.

The younger folks probably not. But Sam was a huge treason for UCLA's success. This was all back in the day when sports reporting was a lot of wink, wink. Coach Wooden is portrayed as a wonderful guy. But you don't have the streak that his Bruins went on without stretching, covering some stuff, and, as referenced in the marvelous book by Bud Withers. Mad Hoops, Wooden hated Oregon and Dick Harter.

When it comes to football there isn't higher praise than that. Kenny Dillingham sees Oregon as an SEC school on the West Coast DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM The best college football atmosphere on the west coast. That’s what drew OC Kenny Dillingham to the Oregon Ducks.

Having gone through an offense that tended more towards sluggish? This is music to our ears! Oregon Football: OC Kenny Dillingham details new Ducks’ offensive plan DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM Kenny Dillingham doesn’t want Oregon’s offense to be described as run-heavy or pass-heavy. He wants speed, and he wants to exploit...

It was definitely a concern about Marcus.

As far as sports go the Bruins are most recognized as, "The team in: LA that isn't USC"

If any fan base could use a distraction from across the country, it's Auburn football, as well as basketball; the Tigers were No.1, but ended the season on a long run of sour notes. As for Nix, I see a lot of positives in being the starter, but if TT ends up No.1 against Georgia, I'm fine with that.

The Sabrina-Ruthy-Satou team that missed out on winning the championship, and they would have, is my vote for the greatest Ducks team ever.

Absolutely. Oregon has to adopt the SEC mindset and do what is best for Oregon! Tying itself to a conference where many teams don't care, and/or can't compete at the highest level, won't work now.
