No, I'm not buying. With the fast rising gas prices, driving to and from the home games at Autzen from Greenville SC would kill me. Besides, with my luck, I would get to Kansas or Colorado only to find out the game has been postponed or canceled due to Covid protocols. If I can get to Eugene for a game I'll hit up Mr. Fishduck for the gate. haha. Go Ducks!!!

There are no excuses in the LB room either. There is more than enough talent. Can they get coached up, continue to improve and win championships? I’ll believe we have become LBU when they produce more than Graham, Wilcox, Dye, Mallard, Mitchell, Boyd and other Ducks greats. Time to walk the walk.

Congratulations to AD Mullens. Several years ago I was his harsh critic concerning the football program with the handling of Coach Helfrich and Coach Taggart. Overall, I recognized the strong overall UO Athletics lineup, but given the importance of football, Mullens had me steaming.. Football is coming back. The past is gone. Hooray for Rob Mullens. A “Man of Oregon”. The future of Oregon’s sports has never been brighter. Go Ducks. Oh, and I’m glad UO doesn’t have one of those sleaze balls at other hallowed U’s - or sanctions.

Brown, Butterfield, Ashford. Thompson, Bailey. There are no excuses for anything other than dynamic QB play improving each year over the next 4 years or more. QBU. Any questions? Go Ducks.

The article is a deserved tribute to Coach Altman and his renowned coaching chops. Go Ducks.

MKA is big time Pape Field is big time Autzen Stadium is big time Hayward Field is big time Jane Sanders Field is big time UO Athletics is BIG TIME! And, the best is yet to come. Stay tuned in.

A dynamic training Duo. Go Ducks.

The podcast illuminates how bright and articulate Coach Moorhead is. He communicates clearly. It would be interesting to see the Ducks play a full 2021 season following an off season then spring and summer camps with JoeMo at the helm of the offense.

This will become a Track and Field “Wonder of the World”.

Yes. Many things went wrong by the end of the year. Let's look ahead to 2021 with hope lest we suffer paralysis from analysis. Go Ducks.

Alex. Coach Altman is a masterful coach. I have wondered before, and certainly do this season, about how the Ducks can effectively rebound when spread so far from the rim? During many shots, particularly 3's, there is no one or only one Duck inside near the rim. The opponent has easy inside advantage for rebounding. Please explain to me what I'm missing and how offensive rebounding should work in Altman's offense? As a second question, with the coming lineup of big men, how do you expect the offense to change next year and after? Thanks.

The following should answer all your questions. https://goducks.com/news/2021/2/23/football-yates-joins-cristobals-staff.aspx

Mr. Fishduck. How about "Ducks Treasure Chest", "The Vault", "Ducks Den", "The Library", or another name? "Repository" makes me pucker up. It's just too close to supository for my liking. Thanks for making all that great information easily accessible in the Beloved Ducks Forum.

Ugh! Or, was it "Ugg"?

This year’s squad is so interesting to watch. Talent. Quickness. Springs. Defensive grit at times. But it seems so difficult for them to play a complete game and click on all cylinders. I keep expecting more fast break points, more trapping takeaways and better shooting. When will these guys master the offense? Every game I imagine “this will be the night”. Will this be “the night”? Go Ducks!

So many memories of those days, guys and times. A moving tribute. Wouldn’t it be fantastic to see Pre II bring fans to their feet for the last mile screaming all the way home with the new facility packed full? Pre would be there watching.over his shoulder - from 5 yards ahead. PRE!

We are fortunate to get Yates. It doesn’t matter what I think, but if DeRuyter and Cristobal wanted Yates, that’s enough endorsement for me. Yates has had good jobs and been in solid coaching trees with success. Now, on to the promised land as a Duck.

Interesting views on TS. the staff and Oregon Football. Opinions, theories, hypotheses and SWAGS. Damage? Will there be any damage at all to total wins for 2021? Or, will there be more nefarious damage to the underpinnings of Ducks football. I expect, given a spring and full season, that the show goes on with a new conductor, or several of them taking the helm. I'm donning my lemon and lime sunglasses.

So sad for the Wildcats. Go Ducks.

This film and the conversations in it are particularly interesting today following Tyler Shough's decision to enter the Transfer Portal. These are the skills and abilities of the Ducks QB's that JoMo will will be assessing from now into fall.

This Ducks team has plus quickness and the players are physically strong. They fall short on continuity and play in fits and starts. It's a Covid year with so many challenges, but this group does not play like an Altman team in February. They don't run the offense well with consistency. The team is fun to watch. but watching is painful too. Unfortunately the post season will be short, if at all, unless something changes soon. Go Ducks.

What is necessary according to an expert. What do you think?

The Chipper's Blurr among other things was predicated on distributing the ball to playmakers in space with downhill blocking at the point of attack. It's easier to say than do, but his team's executed consistently. His teams added the element of surprise and occasionally trickery. JoMo may provide some of the same with his own formula.

The Ducks are more talent laden than anytime in UO football history. Credit goes to Mario's leadership and the hard work and system of the staff. Kudos to them all. Now for getting the best players on the field, using them in the ways that complement their skills, and getting the team to work together attacking the competition. Kicking was an issue, but seems to be coming around. Special teams have come up woefully short and needs to be fixed. The way I see it, we have the strongest most experienced OC and DC that the Ducks have had under Cristobal. The coaches need time working together, with the team and in game situations to become their best. Coach Cristobal now has time in the PAC and at Oregon under his belt. It's time for the coaching to have a breakout season and elevate to higher IQ and execution. Go Ducks in 2021!

This will be one of many great storylines of the 2021 football season. Among: - Year 2 of Moorhead's offense - QB competition - A stacked OL - A stacked RB stable - WR and TE of many types and great talent - A more competitive defensive backfield with more speed and harder hitters - The best edge rushers - We covered the LB's at the start. No excuses now but the future looks even brighter.
