It is not even three minutes long, but it is superb. Great stuff that gets me going!

It is like playing the Huskies...their win/loss record doesn't matter. You can't beat them often enough, or by enough points...

Thanks Alex, for giving us something to ponder. Is he going to have the great year that he and Oregon fans want?

I think being consistently ranked in the top-10 is elite, and most fans would agree with it. Now, are we a "Blue-Blood?" No, winning a 'Natty or two will generate that title, but not until then. And BTW...you have to be consistently in the top-10, and we have not been until recently. Top recruiting with a Blue-Chip ratio at 78% will keep us that way, IMHO.

“Even being an SEC guy, the Big Ten keeps getting better and better,” said Jordan Rodgers, a former Vanderbilt quarterback and now a college football analyst.

Jon...just know your word-play is great fun and I enjoy it!

The Blue-Chip article with the percentages are right here, but with Oregon at a new all-time high of 78% Blue-Chip....doesn't that truly make us elite?

"College sports leaders have met with Congress 13 different times in an effort to gain federal intervention in the NIL process..." Well...if we can't get help from the NCAA or Congress...?

Beavis: "Oregon is all about the money." (Then they steal 300 million from the departing other 10 Pac-12 members) Beavis: "Oregon broke up the conference!" (Then they go about destroying the Mountain West Conference)

The video is less than a minute, but what ELSE are they going to come up to feature The Duck? I think the Big-10 is beginning to enjoy his antics... How can you NOT laugh?

Well, he is a Rivals 4-Star and improves our 2026 class! Kinda of a studly-looking guy...good for defense!

Well, in my very biased view.... Good Points: Great QB coach, and fantastic OC. He had tremendous balance between running/passing, and always had plays for big moments that had not been used in years. Tough Points: Poor recruiter of players, and even worse at recruiting/hiring assistant coaches. Danno has shown how important excellence in hiring and recruiting is. His biggest weakness? He was not a leader; he was a brainy OC and without going into a terrible inside story...let's just say that he lost the team in 2015, thus 2016 and beyond was doomed because of it. Why did he do well in 2013 and 2014? Because Marcus Mariota was there, and nobody wanted to let him down. Once he left at the end of 2014...the team was not listening to Helf. It got me to thinking....Lincoln Riley is their Helf at USC... (Not a leader)

Oh, this is such a sweet memory of the past, so many players, so many great plays...for the Rose Bowl!

That home field looks awesome, with an incredible crowd. It is on my "bucket-list," but I am going to Penn State this year, and Iowa another time. I am sure it will be a great game with good people there...

This is a FUN trip down memory lane of great hits of Our Beloved Ducks!

I have no idea what he is referring to, but there are other rumors that some new unis are going to ruffle feathers--both ways. (The Fuddy-Dud in me groans)

This former Duck has done pretty well!

A 4.22 ERA in a redshirt freshman season? A ton of upside there to become a starter! Hey, he is from Reno, just as Grayson Grinsell was!

Mudslide...your thread/post title is EPIC! People don't realize that we need titles that tell the readers what is in the thread, yet also stimulate interest. Google refers us because of it, and web behavior research tells us that readers will not open a thread if they are "iffy" about what is in it. Your post title is so cool...

Marcus Hinkle was Infield and 3rd Base coach, and is leaving baseball coaching, as his salary was only $55,000... I thought our infield this last season was superb. Good luck to him, and I am quite sure that Coach Waz will get some great candidates.

I would love to take credit, but it is part of the new upgrade apparently, because I did not know about it!

Just when I thought their delusion could not get worse....they set the bar higher. Whew! Yes, I know I should just ignore little-brother, but it is a slow time and what better entertainment than to laugh at Beavis? From John Canzano's emails... Q: As it now stands, would you expect any of the 2026 Pac-12 teams to make the College Football Playoff? — @thomisraven JC: Unless there are unexpected tweaks to the CFP format, I expect the Pac-12 champion to be in a great position to make the playoff in 2026. It’s a very solid and competitive conference that includes Boise State, a team that made the playoff last season. The floor of the new-look Pac-12 is much higher than the other leagues that aren’t considered to be in the “Power 4.” Texas State AD Don Coryell told me this week, “I think it’s going to be a top-five league. Who wins it should be (in the playoff) in my mind.” Notice the verbiage they use....for example referring to the "New-Look Pac-12" with the word "new" in it implies improved or better? Right...as losing Arizona State and replacing them with Texas State--who was playing Georgia Southern and Appalachian State last season is an improvement....right? Note also they emphasize it being a "top-five" league? No, Beavis...there are only two Super-Conferences, and only four Power Conferences. You are with the rest of the Group-of-Six, and need to call it for what it is. You will compete with Liberty for the G6 spot in the Playoff, not as a conference champion.

Lott (Any relation to Ronny?) was a Rivals 4-Star and offered by Oregon, Ohio State, Penn State, USC, Texas, Notre Dame, Alabama, Michigan, Georgia, LSU, Miami....all of college football! (Not all my school colors are different and unique until we get all the customization done!) More about him and all the schools listed right here for you to see....

First...to sign in you need to use your email address, and your password. If you forgot or misplaced it, email me at [email protected] and I will get you a new one and text it to you. But email me as a last resort--please look for it extensively before contacting me, and do pass along your cell number so I can text you. And include your Handle Name in the email along with phone number, name, location and the request for a new password. The site will look wonky for a few days as we gradually get it back to our original view. But my choice was to leave it down until finished or bring it back as we work on it--I figured a few of us would not want to wait until Thursday or Friday. There are many features or usual buttons that are NOT there....yet. It reminds me of all the incredible work I put in a few years ago to customize the site, and I gotta do it again! To get back to the front page...an option is always available by clicking on the "FishDuck" in silver at the top of the page. We're Back!
