Not Really a Thread Starter, but WOW!
Me, too.....I'm a lurker on these threads since I struggle to comment knowledgeably. Unlike my football comments which routinely display maximum allowable academic prowess

Oregon Lands Commitment From Punter Ross James
A Ducks Wire story on one of the new punters indicated that Snee announced he is entering the portal. Apparently ST Coach Joe Lorig didn't see what he needed to see outta Snee?

Kickoff Time Set For Season Opener Against Georgia
I'd like to see the Ducks wear dark green (almost black) unis with last names and numbers only for every game.....only rotating helmets between white, yellow and green. Kinda old school Penn St but updated.

Canzano: Pac-12 Conference is Fighting More Effectively Under George Kliavkoff
RichardDuck perfectly summed up my thoughts on the article....this is a de rigeur Canzano fluff piece, but there are some interesting thoughts it sparks. Naturally, he pursues none of them. It seems the mood/culture has changed under George. That's good. If Ted Kaczynski had shown up, he may well have done that much. The key as Steven A mentioned is the media rights deal. And here is where I am glad we have someone like George K. with a media background. Right, so he may not have collegiate administration experience. In my humble opinion, leadership in today's NCAA requires expertise like navigating the world of broadcast media, evaluating streaming modalities, and strategic sports marketing (including NIL) to make the best deals for the PAC12 in the next half decade.

5-Star QB Jaden Rashada Visiting This Weekend
Have heard on a podcast that the new offer is a longer term prospect due to playing behind a 5-star, COVID season, and an injury in HS. Apparently has all the tools, but needs reps due to HS circumstances. Speculation is that the Ducks take 2 QB's in 23 and this guy won't scare off a more polished classmate, like a Rashada.

Pac-12 Roster Talent Comparison
Given this clearly significant finding why is WSU widely considered a threat in the North for so many next season? Coaching, the Second Coming of the Throwin' Samoan, 'gimmicky' schemes, Keith Jackson Factor, Gameday Flag Karma....?

A FishDuck Primer: Prepare for Football Season–Learn about Lanning!
Yep, thanks, Charles. I had missed one of those articles so it was great to read it now. It is the one regarding Coach's "Hard Progrum" and the impact on possible transfer, even 5 stars. Which is music to my ears. While the last HC was undoubtedly a great recruiter, that was largely contingent upon the ratings services' rankings. I am not saying he didn't do his own evals but I think his emphasis on stars may have been to the detriment of his willingness to confront athletes who didn't completely buy-in or go the extra mile. When I read DL talk about the "de-recruitment process" I was encouraged. We have to be willing to lose some high profile kids that coach thinks may not pan out. Better to have an understanding and move on early than to hold a rated 4 star player for going on 5 seasons now, who has played 3 downs of football on the field while never being on the injured list. Glad to have a coach who gets that in the awards before results era.

ASU DL Transfer has Oregon Scheduled for Final Visit
I'm with Mudslide. I was born and raised in Portland and still have a home here. Different place than it was growing up obviously. Between then and now, I lived in Eugene, Bend, Orlando, Dallas, Chicago, and in Shanghai, Strasbourg, Luzern, and Vienna. Work has taken me to 73 countries. I hit 60 in 2025 and will retire to the Oregon Coast and spend winters in western Austria. Nothing beats Christmas Season in the Alps.

The Problem With Dan Lanning, or Everything RIGHT So Far?
Both Kellen and AJ Feeley had lengthy NFL careers somewhat unexpectedly to me. Akili, Joey, Dennis and VA on the other hand had shorter careers than I expected for them each individually. Mariota and Justin have yet to finish their scripts.
