One observation....for all the modern journalistic tech platforms and hot-take insiders, the UO clearly planned this methodically and caught the "twitterati" largely by surprise. A case study for the digital media class in the J-School I would think?

You can't polish a (toad)......I cleaned that up for propriety's sake

If only bean dip stadium had been converted from its high school vibe 40 years ago instead of opening Fall 2023, things might have been different.

Disney is in dire straits, despite tons of content....Apple has deep pockets, a streaming platform and minimal content. Seems like a good match.

For some reason, I now am craving dirndls, Riesling and sponge cake?

I love this...what a great story.

As a wiser man than me (Mel Brooks) once said/sang Hope for the best, expect the worst Some drink champagne, some die of thirst No way of knowing which way it's going Hope for the best, expect the worst! Hope for the best, expect the worst The world's a stage, we're unrehearsed Some reach the top, friends, while others drop, friends Hope for the best, expect the worst!

I wouldn't expect expect entrepreneurial agility from university presidents. The mindsets are antithetical to one another. The Pac-(fill in the blank) university presidents are like East German Trabant factory apparatchiks when the Wall fell down and BMW/Mercedes/PorscheVW opened dealerships in Leipzig. Flatfooted.

Hayward, I’m going to need the address of that all-you-can-eat smorgasbord please?

I will be there in soul, if not in body.

The recruiting service sites will always have that “exuberance” because their mods fashion themselves as recruiting insiders and pound the drum endlessly for clicks by need to know first followers. You’re bound to generate moronic posts in that environment. Thankfully, Charles has created a clubhouse where we can share Duck news minus the drama.

Who knows, we may get him in the transfer portal in 2 years......

Petagna's discussion of the NIL world is revealing.....no one in charge, no regulations, and insane amounts of money beyond what is being discussed in media circles. Wild Wild West in NIL world

I listened to the latest Duck Territory podcast yesterday and they were talking about these 4 recruits as all being 4 and 5 stars on 247? Prehm discussed how landing all 4 was possible, 3 was highly likely. And if so that Oregon's class would flirt with Top 5 in the country status. Megaphone MEGAPHONE.LINK Oregon heads into July with a chance at the best class in school history

Journalistic standards have changed....my guess is "forethought" is now considered cliche in the 'hot takes' era.

Baker would be huge for the class and to solidify A'lique Terry as an elite recruiter

Book him, Dan-O

Lots of good takes and good "faith" input here.....I suspect that Dan's allure is his authenticity. My guess is that he neither demurs from nor leads with his faith. Rather he lives it and it imbues his character. Those that are drawn to faith find that connection with him, while others find a connection with his compassion, humanity, integrity and love of the game. Good leaders give their team multiple ways to get on board with the mission

I was enjoying the Schadenfreude of Husky recruiting failure and the sniveling mutt fan commentary until someone posted that the Doogs actually have a dozen or so double secret probation silent verbals that they are going to roll out over the next month or so to overtake us, and Bama, in the 24 class.

That interview was a fun listen and insight into JPJ, Coach Lanning and the Progrum.

Un-be-lie-ve-a-ble.....for once in my life, I am speechless

On today's Autzen Audibles podcast, Jared Mack reported that the Em's scheduling conflict has been resolved and the Super Regional will be at PK Park. Megaphone MEGAPHONE.LINK Oregon's special season continues into Super Regionals

When I was listening to this podcast, I was blown out by Coach's charisma, energy and passion for the game and teaching young men. What an inspiration... High character A-holes.....that says it all.

Ironic because I specifically cancelled the Oregonian because of Canzano's schtick.....I wonder if the geniuses in charge over there ever calculated those subscription losses when they were counting clicks?

Looking at MVB's film, and Akili Jr.'s as well, these past few days. I am only a guy who has seen a few decades of Duck QB's, and am no manner of expert, but both have intriguing skill sets. Makes me excited for the next few seasons....
