30Duck

If you have another team to mention, please do. HDuck listed all the Duck teams that were so close. As to 2014, no doubt the missing WR's was huge, 2 drops, by Stanford & Nelson stalled drives.

Hope he goes to Chargers, Lions or Buccaneers, I'm getting spread out on NFL teams!

Last night, No.1 Tennessee lost its first game of the season, 73-43, at Florida. So, it was on the road, and to a really good team. But it was 30 points, Tennessee just didn't have anything last night. Road trips are scary, and really scary in this conference. Ohio State lost to Maryland, 83-59 and 4 games later, beat Kentucky, 85-85.

Oregon LT Josh Conerly announces 2025 NFL Draft decision SPORTS.YAHOO.COM Oregon Ducks left tackle Josh Conerly announces his decision surrounding the 2025 NFL Draft.

It seems to me that Altman's defenses have always focused on guarding the basket more than the perimeter. The 3 is becoming more and more what runs an offense and Altman may have to alter his design. Facing two more teams who like to shoot threes, Oregon basketball must improve its 3-point defense

No.3 Seed, that is really good in "March Madness!". Future NCAA Tournament projections have Oregon basketball as a top seed and playing in the Pacific Northwest

Good, you have that covered. I truly want what's best for me, and that's him staying. That would also be good for him, likely his NFL projection would improve, he could get bigger, really hone his skills. So, don't ponder too long, just stay.

Absolutely agree. I don't know how '07 would fare against the other great Ducks teams. But in '07, Dixon had the Heisman & the team had the Natty wrapped up. 2010? 2012? Both so close, that Stanford L. the pain still reverberates like no other.

Which team was the best? 2014, destroyed FSU, then ran into Ohio State, who we all wanted to play instead of Alabama. How about 2012? The Stanford game, the block that wasn't by DAT, the TD that wasn't for Ertz, 2010? Nick Fairley, "Dyer was down? 2024? 13-1? No.1 for longer than any other team during the season. Are they the No.1

I agree. as I have always felt that one of the biggest reason's Helfrich didn't work was because he was hired because he was as close to CK as Oregon could get. Oregon was in a tough position, but the expiration of, the Blur was inevitable and Helf was the fall guy. Kelly finished 46-7 .867, 11-1 next season would match Kelly's 46-7, another 12-0, Lanning is No.1. If Lanning can dominate the B1G the way that Chip did the Pac-12. Wow!

In the article it says he's likely to end up at Ohio State. don't go from red to red! Georgia Bulldogs LB ranked as top player in transfer portal SPORTS.YAHOO.COM Georgia Bulldogs sophomore pass rusher Damon Wilson has officially entered the transfer portal. Wilson is the top ranked...

I didn't mean Tennessee, just forgot about one. Ohio State beat Indiana 38-15, and that was against the COY.

I don't see Ohio State being challenged in their next two games. They did not take Oregon seriously at all, in Autzen and lost by a point. No possible reason can explain the loss to Michigan. The games against Indiana & Oregon were games that Ohio State played with purpose.

Absolutely. If ESPN could have paid for the Final Four, it absolutely would have had more than 1 SEC team in it, and this was also a shameless attempt to gloss over the mess created by the format because the Final Four are bluebloods. Sad.

I'm not excusing the Ducks for losing to Ohio State due to the format. I'm blaming the format for having Ohio State as an 8 seed. For making it be advantageous for Penn State to have lost the B1G10 CCG and have been seeded with an objectively better path to the championship as No.6 than No.1 Oregon had. The problem with the format is not that Oregon got hosed it is that, and it was plain to see from the start, that No.1 had no advantages at all, which makes a complete mockery of the seeding process.

Kirby=Mario? Each is 5 letters, in Scrabble Kirby is 12, Mario is 9.

A sports calculator says a 10.5 100m translates to a 4.2 40. So...

Love the Penix notation and Duck Vader!

Yeah, it all worked out just right. Kirk Herbstreit: ESPN 'could not have paid for a better final four' in terms of ratings - On3 WWW.ON3.COM ESPN's Kirk Herbstreit said that despite the belief that ESPN wants only SEC teams to succeed, the current College Football Playoff...

It makes me feel better every time I see an article about this. Joel Klatt believes Oregon 'got absolutely hosed' with College Football Playoff format - On3 WWW.ON3.COM Joel Klatt didn't mince words regarding the hand Oregon was dealt by the College Football Playoff Selection Committee.

Right off this story is a bit wonky. The allegation is that Oregon offered a Boise State defensive player, but the player mentioned in this paragraph is an OT, from Happy Valley, Oregon. “I know for a fact that just last week, after the Fiesta Bowl, one of the key starters on defense got a call from the Oregon Ducks offering him $700,000. (Offensive tackle) Kage Casey, Casey’s probably going to be a first-round pick. He would’ve probably been a high pick this year, but I do think he needs another year to develop … I’m sure he could’ve got close to a million dollars in the portal.”

I agree. Ohio State has multiple Natty's, Oregon has been close, so close, to multiple Natty's, can't put Oregon on the same level at this point. As for "- Out of 10" I'd say Ohio State-7.5.

It should be a GLARING reminder to everyone watching Ohio State play to see that No.8 next to their name. The fact that No.1 got hosed, No.6 got a yellow brick road to the Quarterfinals are right there too. I read earlier that ESPN is pushing back a bit with, "Ohio State, Texas, Notre Dame, Penn State, Bluebloods all. How can anyone say the format didn't work?"

Okay, loving this!

The NCAA of course is totally responsible for this mess. While they were busy sending out the hounds for recruiting violations and a kid working at a car lot, violations like the UNC scandal of players getting grades for classes they didn't even attend was not in their purview. But the "Student Athlete" was front & center. This antiquated view that let coaches & the schools make millions, coaches got raises, left to coach somewhere else, but the Student-Athlete got a scholarship. This could have been addressed 50 years ago. If it had, things would be a lot better now.
