Very true, and given the nature of recruiting, committing, transferring, it makes perfect sense that our "Rival" to the south is the shiny object now. I don't like them getting a star out of Mater Dei. but if he's still there for the '28 season, I'll be surprised.

The expression goes, "Leave them wanting more." That was certainly true with our Diamond Ducks. We saw they can clearly compete in the B1G. So now we just have to slog through football and basketball seasons again!

Ah, Vandy's a football school. Go Beavis, the Ducks Swept 'em!

No Paige Sinicki, no Kai or Kedre Luschar. Patmon will be gone. But yet, there's a lot to look forward to. Grein is a fighter, so is Sokolski. The Ump for the game against Oklahoma had at best, an interesting strike zone. Oregon got off to a lead, a home run, the 42 times that happened before, the Ducks won. Unfortunately, Oklahoma is undefeated when they hit 3 home runs. It was a tough loss, but the Ducks never gave up. One of my lasting images of Oregon sports is Kai Luschar on deck, hoping that Katie Flannery could get on base, give her one more chance, and if she got on her sister was at bat... Melyssa Lombardi started at Oregon with the program in shambles, tryouts were needed to fill out the roster her first season, and now the Ducks made it to Oklahoma City. Some great talent has left. but I don't doubt for a minute that Lombardi will have a championship level team next season. Rock The Jane!

Hopscotch, pogo stick, hula hoop, tetherball, croquet?

Great take here already. Since Carroll, USC has been struggling. They thought Riley was the answer, but then find themselves stuck with him because they couldn't afford to fire him and hire a new coach. So now they throw a lot of $$ at kids. The symbiotic relationship of kid and school is dissolving, the NIL is lot more important to the player, and his family, than the name on the front of the jersey

Who knew, back in the 5th grade, before the first class. me and my buddies were prepping for a Gold Medal. Currently it's part of what the NFL came up with to replace the Pro Bowl. It will be part of the 2026 Olympics. This makes more sense.

Definitely going to miss Sinicki, the Luschar sisters, Dezianna Patmon, but a lot to look forward too from the Softball team, The Jane will be rockin' again!!!

This is too good to be true. Since PC, USC is all about noise, as noted college football fan, William Shakespeare put it, all this recruiting hoopla is "sound and fury signifying nothing" If you can't beat 'em...

"Commitment" is a word that hasn't met anything in sports for a long time, along with loyalty. It started with the coaches of course, one day they're in a living room, telling the prospect and his family how great it will be to coach his son at... and then a week later the coach is somewhere else. Even back in the day, and still now, player's "flip". A flip won't really happen now because a player will only be at a team as long as he wants. In the NFL, players renegotiate contracts all the time. In college, we've seen NIL deals being tossed up. If the NIL ever does get managed. The renegotiation, like in the NFL. will become normal in college.

Well, the Lady Ducks finished 42-1 when they hit a home run, they got this one early, but that was it. Oklahoma hit 3.

Oklahoma Coach Gasso: "If it isn't us, I want it to be them" I'm sure Lombardi feels the same way.

No. Back in the good ol' days, even being No.1 in recruiting on June 1 didn't mean a thing. Now being No.1 on National Signing Day is better than nothing. USC is on top now, check back in December.

Absolutely. Saban knew when to get out.

Go, Lady Ducks sounds great to me!

Bring it to The Jane! The talking heads could NOT have been serious.

Oklahoma won't have to far to go, if Oregon wins and derails Oklahoma of its try for 5 in a row. If Oregon loses it's the last game for Paige Sinicki.

Oh my, MTV, Blockbuster, Casey Kasem & "America's Top 40" buying movie tickets at the door, HBO was cool. Players sitting at a table, 3 hats spread out in front, he feints picking that one. Then picks your team!!! And it mattered. National Signing Day stopped being the same a while ago. It's still big. you want to bring in the blue chips, but the urgency isn't there, the transfer portal, it's amazing actually how much stability there is now.

According to the radio broadcast, Aroz and the Ducks football team are watching the game at the Moshofsky Center

Burke-Lee Mabeus is called out on strikes without a pitch being thrown, ending the inning for the Ducks, a clock violation.

Because of last night's ruling, Aroz can't even be at PK Park.

The crew called it safe. “They said it came from Pittsburgh and it was out of their hands,” Wasikowski said. “I’m really proud of the way that Aroz went into home plate. I was taught to play hard. I was taught to get after it by my dad and by my coaches growing up. Unfortunately, playing hard was not rewarded tonight by whatever rule was supposedly violated by a player that was playing hard.”

The wind turned Walsh's deep ball in the 9th into a sac fly instead of a walk-off home run, such is baseball.
