Who was the color guy? Oh... Welp!

The NCAA compliance team is apparently made up of former PAC 12 refs... PFfft!!! Pass Interference, OREGON!

Nice to get some fouls called in Oregon's favor... The Ducks need to attack the rim more.

Dante is a defensive beast...

It bothers me when the cuts are on odd spots like the top of my ears...

I would LOVE to see the DUCKS pull in a DL recruit of this caliber, but either one or both of these guys would be a luxury at this point. For Lanning's staff to land James would, IMO, say far more about Coach Locklyn than Lanning. Either one should be a welcome addition to the flock.

That would be a low blow...

Oh, oh. Emmert's bored, again...

Only one?... PFFFffft!

"Dear coach... promise me I'm your guy. Or else?" This is getting silly, in a way. Having to spend valuable recruiting time on proven players who are jumping into the portal? Lanning has done a great job with it so far. But it's beginning to look like some of these guys may be playing "chicken" with the coaches. Duck fans love the heart, grit, and determination the DYE bros have brought to this team. Nobody has worked harder. SMH...

So, if Gunfightershave "the Magnicent Seven", what identity do we hope for with Lanning's staff? Can we at least get a cameo appearance by Chuck Norris in Corso's DUCK HEAD?

NEVER.GIVE.UP.

And that's the ball game! Defense wins championships?

Such passionate booing...

I have to admit, some of the throws on this drive are stunning.

Georgia 31-26/122/183/2/3

Dang. . That kicker makes me miss George Blanda and Ray Guy... I know they were raiders, but that was their bread and butter

Are those really Gonzo's quads? If so, he's probably a back pedaling freak!

Most of what I posted was while we were classmates in HS. The first day, he walked in with his older brother (Bill?), who looked enough like him, most of the school thought they were twins. His brother was supposed to wrestle for the DUCKS, but had participated in a pro-am tag team match with Gentleman Ed prior to enrolling at Oregon. The NCAA declared him ineligible due to that, and he never got it reversed. Three or four Francis brothers lived in a small house on Rattlesnake Road. Their mother was Poly, FWIW.

Russ Francis was a physical freak... 6'6"/240 as a hs senior. Walked into Pleasant Hill HS following his senior year at Kailua HS, in Hawaii. He was a wrestler, in Hawaii, but played basketball in his only year at PHHS, averaging something like 18 ppg. In the spring of 1971, he went out for track, another new sport... Dude did a little of everything... shot put, discus, sprints (ran a hand timed 100 yard dash in 9.5 on a dirt track in Philomath). He tried long jump in practice a couple times. The only measurement I remember was over 21'. Oh, yeah... Russ had never seen a javelin prior to that year. We had all seen RF chuck both a football and a baseball a ridiculous distance by this point. The coach had been a javelin thrower in college, and talked him into trying it. The first time Francis touched the spear, one of the guys challenged him to throw it across the parking lot, on the way to the field. It didn't make it far, snapping the tip off in the parking lot, maybe 60' away. Within a little over a month, Francis broke the national HS record in the discipline, with a throw of 259' 9", a record that stood for something like 17 years. Sheesh!

Warrick Dunn comparison is intriguing...

Was that supposed to be a power dive play of some sort?

OMG!!! It's LESLIE NIELSEN!!! I didn't think he was particularly funny, either...

Is that the result of one of KT's patented qb hits?

While Kiffen's mahi-mahi is mice, it's not overly impressive, size wise, since he's holding it out at arms length, to exaggerate the length. Gotta give Freeze the prize here, as that's a dandy Florida strain large mouth he's holding close to his body, in order to include the boy (i assume its his son) in the picture. Nice job with the smoke and mirrors by Kiff, though... Hope he can disguise a D as well or better!
