Quack Quack Quack. Go Ducks Women.

AB exudes confidence.

From his starting point, and with his instincts and work ethic, Flowe should become another underpinning for a spectacular future defense. Clemson returns all 11 starters on defense for 2021, plus their top 14 defensive players.

“Nightmare” in Autzen would be a dream come true. Welcome Coach DeRuyter. Go Ducks. Thanks Coach Boles.

Gonna miss him. Mr. TD. The transfer worm continues to turn.

I would like the Presidents to create a draft strategy matrix of goals and priorities for 2, 5 and 10 years. Interview against those, and then revise the matrix with the newly hired Commish who will be responsible to deliver the plan, and reviewed annually against it with rewards and penalties resulting. Performance-driven.

Sleepless in Seattle.

CJ’s a warrior. I hope he can be healthy and productive finishing with a record year. The competition in the RB room is getting deeper.

Shine JJIII Shine. Good news.

I hope it’s so. The Ducks must get healthy and onto the same page. I’m expecting a long run and some Altman magic.

Go WBB Ducks! Keep working and improving to become the champions.

58? Take the "W" and move ahead. C'mon WBB.

I don't like to celebrate the failures of others. It was well past time to move on from Larry Scott for the survival of the conference. Was it too late? The ravages of the pandemic forced many changes and adjustments to established systems. Will the Presidents of PAC12 universities make changes to restore the conference and achieve financial competitiveness?

Being respected and named leader is one thing. Improvising how to lead your men through the battle to victory through great adversity develops earned unquestioned leadership and great loyalty results. Berry, Fouts, Thomas, Harrington, and Mariota come to mind. There are others.

To all of this I say "maybe" and "what will be will be". I'm still waiting for the next Alpha Dog QB who refuses to lose and carries the team thru adversity. A consummate winner with an obvious IT factor. I think the Ducks may have one, but will he be identified and unleashed before he moves on?

You may be right.

An all around game. Steady and dependable off the bench. A sixth man to spell others, and reliable to fill in for injured or ill teammates. Go Payton.

These are uncertain times with frequent and often unexpected twists and turns. While the ranking is flattering for the Ducks, there will be a lot of football to play to earn a final season ending ranking in the Top Ten. Go Ducks.

Join the flock. Root for the Oregon Snow Geese!

I'm a fan of Taylor. She typically protects the ball, plays solid D, plays smart and when hot can knock down her shots. I've always thought she can score more points, but she is reluctant. When she is off or not aggressive others should get her minutes. Sabally needs to get the green light, and be told to put the team on her shoulders and dominate. She needs to attack more on both offense and defense to reach her potential. Both women are keys to this team's success.

He might be a good one, if he will work and respond to the coaching. We will see. Go Ducks. Go Dana.

I'm waiting for the Ducks to earn and deserve a Top 5 ranking, not the third five. I will love the Ducks in the meantime and wait.

Adjust. Chill. Observe. Hope. Repeat. A better day is coming. I hope the Ducks reach the Promised Land before Phil and Penny do.

Short and simple facts. I like your analysis but not the trend or results. Formation? Play sequence? Talent level? The mix of plays? Penetration, sliding off blocks and lack of down field blocking? Another startling fact is that the quality of opponents was mediocre. All this with highly rated OL.

Coach Graves finds exceptional workers who are unselfish. Mikesell is one of them. She will become a key piece in the puzzle of this team. It is nice to know some more about her. Thanks.
