    Oregon's fourth practice of the spring took place on Thursday, check here for updates

     

    Sometimes the little tidbits at the bottom of an article prove interesting...

     

    "Former Oregon TE Matt Mariota was on the sidelines at Oregon's spring football practice and intends to start working for Oregon's coaching staff. Mariota played for the Ducks from 2014 to 2018 and then headed to England for his Master's Degree at the University of Leeds this past fall. He was eligible to play for Leeds' American Football team this fall and did so. Now back in Eugene, he's working with Oregon's staff to join the program shortly as an intern and get into coaching."

     

    Looks like the Ducks will have one Mariota family member joining the staff... Good luck with your career choice, young man!

    Oregon's Sad and Bad Out-of-Conference (OOC) Scheduling

    I, and I am convinced, many other Duck fans, have long been dismayed by how many opponents have conveniently been able to back out of H&H agreements, especially the reciprocal trips, which have been been cancelled in the past, once Oregon has already traveled for road games.

     

    There seem to have been series with teams like TAMU that have been completely dropped.

     

    Scrambling to fill such unexpected openings at a later date is a pain in the pa-tookus, to say the least.

     

    TBH, one could get the notion a trip to Autzen is excessively intimidating to a lot of quality opponents.

    Why Oregon Lost: Free Throws?

    A Pritchard/Ridnour type guard had always seemed to be critical to the performance of the Ducks in tight situations like last night.

    Hopefully the Ducks have the incoming floor general gym rat (or at least, a tough nut drill sergeant) riding to the rescue in the new class.

    Why Oregon Lost: Free Throws?

    I remember basketball coaches who would insist on members of their teams practice free throws at the beginning and end of every practice... a few of them required 100 shots with a minimum accuracy rate, or you had to start over...

    Apparently,  that level of discipline is not required in today's world.

    Thank you for the correction. I think Penn made the final 4 one year and that is what I was thinking of.

     

    Bradley went on to bedevil my Celtics; he played on some great Knicks teams.

    I remember watching great Knicks teams... Dang, I'm old!
