Go Ducks!

Hooray! Well, earned. Charles Barkley talks Celtics guard Payton Pritchard: 'He built his game' WWW.SPORTINGNEWS.COM The Boston Celtics guard was named NBA Sixth Man of the Year on Tuesday night.

You are the champion not named in the article.You did great thinking and writing on this one. Thanks.

Shelstad looked really quick and fast today. His floor leadership and presence were outstanding. Everyone contributed and had his moment.

Where the 2025 Ducks peak depends on the QB play in my mind. Ball security, execution under pressure, and pocket presence coupled with leadership will determine the outcomes and record. I have confidence in the other position groups and the skills of the individual players.

I do not believe that the ACC is saved until 2036. Clemson and Florida State won in the settlement and the A CC lost. Teams can now leave the conference for under $100 million. Before the amount approached $500 million. In today’s environment of CFB $100 million is “affordable”. The ACC is held back by the teams at the bottom of the conference. I believe that FSU and CU will bolt from the ACC in 2027-2028 prior to the next round of media contracts in the SEC and B1G. The ACC, somewhat like the Pac12, did too little too late and made mistakes which will most likely become fatal to the conference. Them winds they are a changing.

My adult daughter and I are driving to PA. We are booked both Friday and Saturday nights in the north Altoona area at the Comfort Inn and Suites, Duncansville. The hotel is estimated 50 minutes from the Beaver Stadium. We have reserved parking. Game tickets are WHU, Row 74. Go, fight, win DUCKS!

Any votes for “Old Yeller”?

An odd addition. DL and TL know their stuff. Show me!

J-Stew or Mel Renfro. Royce was a beast of a different style and skill.

James Phillips has numbered days. When he opens his mouth too often all that come out is nonsensical fluff. Fluff Fluff Fluff. ACC members deserve better.

It seems to me that the Buckeyes have been peaking in the playoffs. They are worthy of becoming the champion.

OSU recognized Gabriel’s height and exploited it with high arms and hands while rushing. There were tipped balls, scrambles and arm slot adjustments in reaction thereby impeding Gabriel’s passing. This is one of a number of causes of the route.

Somewhere on the beach…

Nick Saban points to Ohio State-Oregon matchup as issue with CFP bracket - ESPN Video WWW.ESPN.COM Nick Saban tells Pat McAfee how seeding College Football Playoff teams differently would create better games and a fairer tournament.

Stein is a prodigy wizard, but he is still young and relatively inexperienced as an OC. With all respect to Stein I think that Dillingham calls a better game and the sequencing of plays is better.

Unleash Oregon. Hear, Hear! Stampede the flock.

Seal the edges and plug the middle. The Ducks offense will do its job.

“We've said it a million times, Dan Lanning, I feel like they get who they want, and they are all over Jackson Cantwell. Do not sleep on the Ducks."

Heads up! The game is on September 27, 2025 with the time to be announced. Mr. Fishduck had solicited preliminary interest from those readers interested in attending the PSU Whiteout to cheer our Ducks to victory. I’ve found that many hotels in the State College area are already sold out, and that rates are predatory with demand. I have booked Friday and Saturday nights in Altoona which is a short hour drive away. I paid a few bucks more thru Hotels.com for fully cancelable reservations at no cost until two days before. At least I have stake in the ground to work from for now. Tickets thru Stubhub are pricey with handling service charges over $135/seat. I’ll monitor the situation and hope to get some later from the Ducks allocation. If you are a fan hoping to make the trip it might be wise to do some planning now and make your arrangements soon. Just my 2 cents worth with a “heads up”.

Bear got caught in an Oregon bear trap. This will be interesting to watch develop. In DanL we trust. Go Ducks.

6:00 - 4th. 9/25 90 yds. 3 INTs Need we say more? Good luck to Ty.

3 of 12 for 28 yds with 1 INT. Eeks. He’s in the Portal. Stock down.

Ty is playing QB for Tulane in the Gasparilla Bowl in Tampa. It is nearing halftime as I post this.

No problems with vertical passes there. Both QB’s can airmail it.
