Who is READY for the new season?

Bryson Beaver | DuckSportsAuthority N.RIVALS.COM Bryson Beaver - 2026 3 Star Quarterback for Vista Murrieta (Murrieta , CA) on Rivals.com And I will get over the-elephant-in-the-room....

This is actually the QB profile that fits Oregon...assuming we continue to pursue exceptional portal QBs in the future. Stack up HS QBs with upside, and the best of them could turn into a starter two or three years down the road. It is rumored that his rating will go up to a Rivals 4-Star from 3-Star due to his superb performance in the Elite-11 camp. Among the noted he was offered by: Boise State, Oregon, Ole Miss, LSU and Alabama. (That bastard coach there does know QBs) Not so Fast...

So I got to wondering..."how many articles have our writers written for FishDuck.com and this audience?" (So I went and looked it up) Jon Joseph 117 articles written Alex Heining 137 articles written David Marsh 165 articles written Darren Perkins 202 articles written Jordan Ingram 212 articles written Keep in mind that each article takes anywhere from two hours to six hours to complete. I think 3.5 to 4.0 hours is typical for me, thus you can compute the incredible number of hours these wonderful people dedicate to us all. Often these articles are written after work, when they're tired or at inconvenient times. So they have given 400 to 800 hours for our pondering entertainment? How many 40 hour weeks is that? (Damn...I'd owe a ton if I had to pay them!) Before you ask, yes I looked mine up and I guess I have to change what I tell people as yours-truly has written 733 articles over the last nearly 14 years. Whew! The bottom line is that the amount of time the volunteers give is just enormous...and that does not count the volunteer editors! We have three that have helping us between seven and twelve years! Writers, Editors....

My Duck-Buddies: I am forced to migrate this forum to a new version--where they can charge me more. (Of course) The new version is a massive change, although this forum should not change in appearance. Most of the change will occur in the backend, where I have to learn a ton of new stuff with the dashboard. Naturally I have no choice, as the software provider will discontinue giving service and security patches soon. So I have to roll with it. This migration will occur in the near-future, and the forum will be shut down for 1-2 days, and prior to it occurring...I will let you know. It is very costly, as just one element of the forum, our moderation system, is going to cost $700.00 alone. The rest of the bill? I try not to think about it, but I know our web developer in England is devoting a weekend to this, and it won't be cheap. I AM the Shameless Beggar, and there is a gold-colored button at the top of the front page for donations, or right here. If you can spare some dollars to help keep this unique community going--I would be grateful. WHO Makes Money Off the Forum? Regardless of the countless hours I put in, I take NO draws from the site. I get paid nothing, but I am not the only one who puts in TONS of hours on a volunteer basis. We have a dozen moderators, and a number of Duck News Hunters who bring the articles to you for free, and do it out of love for Our Beloved Ducks...and you. Our wonderful writers who have each written over 100 FishDuck articles each, (yours-truly has written over 600 articles) and they get nothing for all the incredible hours of research, writing, and photo-editing they do. All these guys and gals are generous to us all, and again--I cannot function without them. I joke with the tech people and the photographers that although they are underpaid for their skills--they are still the only ones making money off the sites! These sites are my-babies, and I will continue to allocate the time because I love the discussion, the community, and of course....Our Beloved Ducks. If you can help, please go to the "Donate" gold-colored button at the top of the front page of the forum, or right here. Thank you! This Shameless Beggar began asking for money nearly 14 years ago, (above) at the beginning of this adventure...

This. I was wondering why we were wasting time on him? Even if he committed to Oregon and joined us in three years--he would not be ready for games until two years later, as that is assumed at Oregon? So why were we wasting time recruiting a QB who will not be helpful until 2030? (Especially when we can get a great portal QB every year?)

Frankly, Oregon deserves the ranking received, (No. 20) as we peaked too early. The last two years the Ducks finished at No. 12 in the nation, and we have good times ahead. Surprisingly...D1Baseball put Beavis at No. 4, and B1G MCWS representative UCLA at No. 5 in the nation. Think of it...Oregon took six out of seven games against those teams. Sigh. (I can't complain...we had our chances) With Arizona at No. 7, the west coast finished with three in the top seven, and five in the top 25 with Oregon at No. 20, and UC Irvine at No. 25. There is good baseball on the west coast that is ignored back east, and thankfully--D1Baseball sees it. College Baseball Rankings: D1Baseball releases final top 25 after College World Series - On3 WWW.ON3.COM College baseball season has come to an end, and D1Baseball has released its final top 25 rankings after LSU's championship. Interesting that now the B1G has two Baseball teams in the top 20...and they are former Pac-12 teams. We're helping the league!

Boy, I am glad Oregon QBs don't do this...Whew!

ERA drops to .55? Holy Crap!
