30Duck

Jeremy Asher and Rich Ruhl, ILB's from Gang Green.

Both basketball coaches have been reprimanded by the conference, but that's nothing compared to what's happening with football.

He has until Friday to enroll at USC if he wants to participate in spring practice.

The Ducks beat Washington, 86-48, then Colorado beat Oregon, 82-78, and last night, Washington beat Colorado, 60-58. Next Oregon State is at Oregon, Colorado is at WSU, then Oregon is at Colorado, where the Ducks have yet to win.

That's good, works out as a 3 seed.

Sigh.

That's the rub. It's always after the games are played that Washington has problems.

Florence next Monday, and I really want Arlis Boardingham!

Ah, chuckle, chuckle.

The Matt, MLK, will never be Mac Court, The Pit. The scoreboard won't shake. But I haven't seen any arena better to play basketball in these days. Cameron Indoor Stadium at Duke has a rep. But I feel like that's more just because Duke wins a lot more than any actual ambience.

This is where you want to be as a program. Clemson is perceived as needing to "rebound" because they didn't make the Invitational; finished 10-3. Oregon's 10-4 team was in Invitational contention longer than was Clemson last season. Oregon fans didn't really think Oregon was ever the 3rd best team in the country. Clemson's offense was in trouble from the start, got better at the end of the season. It will be interesting to see how Clemson and Oregon do in 2022.

Get some defense, Chargers, please!!!

Okay, "academic prowess" Husky, that should be "choose the latter every time." But you were close.

Ripping and roaring Ducks has to be deafening!!!

I hope the Pac-12 does.

Ronnie Lee is my No.1 of course, but my favorite Kamikaze Kid after 30, is Mark Barwig. He wasn't the superstar like Lee or Ballard, but no player personified Harter's style of play more. Opposing coaches game planned to stop Lee & Ballard, but Barwig was the player who made life miserable for the other teams. Before the Kamikaze Kids, west coast basketball was UCLA finesse, Oregon didn't do finesse.

Absolutely agree about GB. He still is the single game scoring leader for the Ducks, 47, in a win over Oral Roberts in the 1974 NIT, and also one of the greatest moments in Oregon history, hitting 2 free throws, with O:00 on the clock to beat UCLA, 62-61 in 1976.

Doug Little. He was a huge part of Harter's teams, being a holdover from Belko's teams, and the captain of Harter's first Oregon team, that went winless in the Pac-8 and 6-20 for the year.
