  1. I thought that any list that didn't have Williams as the top QB in the Pac-12 next season was going to be interesting. In fact, based on the criteria, he isn't even in the top 5, and check out who, Zachary Neel Ducks Wire, has at No.9. Ranking the Pac-12's Top Quarterbacks Based on Career Production
  2. As great as he was, he doesn't get enough credit. He's on a short list of both greatest ever RB's and WR's in Ducks history.
  3. Very strange, but in the late 60's I just all of a sudden was full of sports knowledge and knew who Yelverton Abraham Tittle was. Aside from that I look around now and every day I'm more thankful about being a Ducks fan. Pre, Rudy Chapa, watching the Olympic Trials in Hayward Field in '72 and '76. I can't imagine a better situation than being 13 when the Kamikaze Kids started Of course, it was no surprise that the Portland Trail Blazers, who have made a habit of horrid draft picks, went past Lee, and took Wally Walker from Virginia. Lee ended up going to Phoenix but was stuck behind some guy named Don Buse. There was one game on TV that I'll always remember, the 76ers and Dr. J were playing the Suns, and it was all Ronnie Lee, 28 points, 15 rebounds, 8 assists in a 111-94 win for the Suns.
  4. It's so smokey at ASU that people are tripping over each other. ASU President voices support for Edwards despite his direct role in NCAA Scandal
  5. Condon, 5th grade, 1969. Great kickball games!!
  6. Most of what I hear from a Husky is "Arf"
  7. Speaking of TV coverage. I remember back in the 70's there was a problem with TV. Back then Saturday night on CBS was All in the Family, M*A*S*H. Mary Tyler Moore, Bob Newhart, and the games were on Saturday night. But without even a VCR then, Archie and Hawkeye and Mary and Bob, were pushed aside for the Kamikaze Kids.
  8. We all spend a lot of time here, and go through angst and sorrow, with enough exhilaration to make it worthwhile. But how did it come to be for you? I was heading towards being a Husky. But fortunately, my family left Seattle in 1966. It wasn't until '69 that I remember going to my first Ducks game in Autzen, where I watched Dan Fouts, and Super Soph, Bobby Moore, now Ahmad Rashad. He was born in Portland, but went to high school in Tacoma, and ended up at Oregon. My cousins, still stuck in Seattle, were enamored with Sonny Sixkiller, the Husky QB, from Ashland, Oregon. I remember my time in Jr. High and high school being in tense battles with Beaver fans in the early 70's. Me and my fellow Ducks got the best of them. All of this well before the internet of course. My first game in "The Pit" was in 1970, Oregon 78 UCLA 65. Steve Belko would have that season and the next, then some guy named Dick Harter showed up. We all know that the football years after Jerry Frei were pretty lean, Enright, Reid, but then came Rich Brooks. Thank goodness my family left Seattle. So, what route did you take to end up here?
  9. I agree Joshua, it was the right move. Oregon has a very tough schedule in 2022, starting with the "neutral" game against Georgia. If Thompson or Butterfield can beat Nix out, great. But having a veteran SEC QB, familiar with Dillingham, looks like a winner to me.
  10. The odds are against it. But Arizona has a good chance, along with Gonzaga, at least in the West. Troubling to see the DSEC becoming a basketball threat as well' Kentucky has been a Basketball blueblood for a long time. But this season Auburn is really good.
  11. Absolutely. There is no other mediocre D1 team that has the support that Washington does. The delusion of grandeur that fuels them is unequalled. 2-15 with Oregon, and still the tweet, talking about how the Huskies are an "all-time great program". An all- time great like Rob Schneider is an all-time actor
  12. There are a lot of things I would give up for $ 20 million, this especially. It just says to stop watching, sports are great on the radio. Now, would I give up my collection of Ronnie Lee memorabilia? NO
  13. Yep. The only option 70 miles from Eugene is a baseball stadium, the home of the Keizer Volcanoes, seats 4,254.
  14. Definitely a problem. The Final Four team had Dillon Brooks, Dylan Ennis, Tyler Dorsey, all players that not only wanted to take the shot but would make the shot. Pritchard was a freshman on that team and by the time he was a senior, took the shot, then next year, Duarte or Omoruyi took it. It was definitely a problem against Arizona to pass the ball directly to Richardson, the presumptive go to guy. 7 seconds was plenty of time to have forced Arizona to do more on defense than put their biggest player on Richardson and have him dribble the seconds away.
  15. This seems very plausible, and the only thing worse for Oregon in the Pac-12 with USC would be Oregon in a Pac-12 without USC.
  16. Okay, the cat relaxing on top is Oregon, and the annoying cat underneath is Washington.
