On an amusing side note...when looking up my article to place in the post above--I ran into a site that linked my article, and there were 54 comments, of which most were vile hate directed at me personally, without actually addressing the truth in the article. The marketplace proved the Beavers are the value of a Mountain West team. The Beavers have been over-paid by tens of millions for decades relative to their actual value. Oregon State wants to steal the vast majority of what the conference has earned in years past and now the present. Now, I'm a big-boy who knows what the deal is when you write strong-opinion articles like that, thus it is just WATER-OFF-A-DUCK.

His article this morning is a desperate attempt to control the narrative for the Pac-2, while ignoring the Greatest Theft of Media Revenue in history. "I find it interesting that the fan bases of the 10 departing schools appear to agree that WSU and OSU should be in control of the conference." How stupid, blind or pathetic; he is trying to tell us how we should feel? Oh wait...it gets better... "Also, that the Cougars and Beavers are entitled to the Pac-12’s future assets." Really, the fan bases of all 10 departing schools truly feel this way? He has never once covered the truth of what I wrote about recently, because it would destroy his narrative. Beavers are Over-Valued, Over-Paid, Ungrateful and Unaccountable FISHDUCK.COM I am sick of the pretentious articles by John Canzano and other writers who portray the Beavers as the aggrieved party in the Pac-12 dissolution…

And THANKS to ThePondDuck for posting this, as he has only been a member for a month and is chipping in great. We have had four new OBD members in the last week, so DO post your thoughts! The water in this pond is

When asked about it by JHOP on ScoopDuck, Savage said, "news to me." Not the reaction you would want... Or he is stalling for an official announcement later. Note the Tweet stated, "Expectation" to, but nothing confirmed. This would be pretty big if he does come to Oregon, as we need him BAD. Because we won't have HIM anymore...

For this year--I agree. But compared to where this team is going to evolve to in the next couple of years?

Yep. And how many of all these college QBs become good in the NFL? You would think EVERY NFL team would have a great QB, but there are not that many great ones. Which gets back to my point written before; finding a good QB is HARD at any level. All teams go through scads of them...trying to find the diamond. Meanwhile the coaches have to win NOW, or we fans will be howling. Thus the trend to proven transfers is not surprising. I am pondering an article about solutions...

He has given a ton of great ideas in the past, and I think he could steer this better than most right now? Our first CFB Commissioner?

Over the next two weeks, and I have no idea. We are taking our swings at some good ones, and common sense tells me “we’ll get our share, “ but I would just be guessing. A pretty good start with Gabriel, and that momentum has to help. We needed a quarterback, a receiver, a safety, and at least one defensive tackle, and in the end, I think we will get one of each. I just don’t know who yet…

Well, you can assert your strong opinion, and I will assert mine backed by factual evidence. First of all, Ajani Cornelius was brought in as a transfer from Rhode Island last year, and started all season at offensive right tackle for us, and did a fantastic job. Two other offensive line transfers were brought in from East Carolina and Texas, but played sparingly or none due to injuries. They were brought in with the intention of plug-and-play… Second, Dan Lanning has been absolutely stellar in his portal transfer successes, so I would rate it as a low probability of a transfer not working out, considering Dano’s track record thus far.

From his Instagram, safety Corey Ellington is currently on a visit to Oregon as well. The 6-foot-3, 190-pounder started in seven games last season for Mississippi State. He recorded 66 tackles last season for the Bulldogs.

Oh...here is another!

Your original post confidently asserted that the departing 10 PAC-12 teams will get what is coming to them. You did not cite any source, but gave the impression that it was a fact, a done deal. Now you are backtracking into what you feel, and other legal experts who feel that we will be treated fairly. Again, these are all just opinions, yours, theirs,… and mine. I’m not trying to pick on you, as you are a great poster here, but in the end, we are all just stating our opinions. I do not think the remaining two schools are going to play nice, now that they are in a strong legal position. And yet, they have been valued in the marketplace, as not worthy of being a Power-5 member, since all of the P-5 conferences have rejected them. Their actual value is that of a Mountain West team. Thus they have been overvalued, and overpaid for decades. They should be grateful for the umpteen millions that they have been paid and not deserving of. Instead, they are trying to stick it to us, and our Athletic Director in turn helps them to the tune of millions of dollars with scheduling them? I can’t make this stuff up, for how stupid it is. If everything turns out fine later, and we are given a fair share after expenses and liabilities, then I will publicly acknowledge that true equity was delivered to Oregon. But color me skeptical at the least, while trying to withhold my roaring laughter at how plausible the probability is of that becoming true.

Doubtful, or no. But we have a real good shot at the former Kansas State safety, Kobe Savage, listed in the first post above.

I do not know. I just pulled it from the GIFs available that had the message I wanted to convey, so where ever it came from is fine. I stay away from politicians saying things, because it will automatically offend half the people here--even if what he/she is saying is the phrase I'm looking for.

Who are we targeting yet? Below is a list.... Quarterback: Dante Moore – Transfer Running Back: Nate Frazier – Prep Jay Harris – Transfer Wide Receiver: Jeremiah McClellan – Prep Gatlin Bair – Prep Cyrus Allen – Transfer Juice Wells – Transfer Tight End: No current targets. Offensive Line: Jordan Seaton – Prep Cayden Green – Transfer, is a 6'4" 315 pound freshman who started for OU. Defensive Line: Jericho Johnson – Prep Solomon Williams – Prep Walter Nolen – Transfer Derrick Harmon – Transfer Linebacker: No current targets. Defensive Back: Kobe Savage – Transfer Decamerion Richardson – Transfer Corey Ellington – Transfer Jermod McCoy – Transfer Kicker: Atticus Sappington – Transfer Juice Wells at Receiver Would Be Nice...

We do have the National Signing Day coming up this week....

First we see some tasty tidbits from Matt Prehm at 247 Sports,... "Most know how I don't like to stick my neck out there and say a commit is coming before I 100% know it's coming. We've taken a very, very conservative approach to covering recruiting and making predictions. I was told this weekend things have progressed as well as expected for not just one but multiple prospects Oregon is targeting in the transfer portal and also the high school ranks." "Very rarely do I get excited these days about recruiting weekends or big wins on the football field. This weekend is shaping up like one of those rare weekends where things could be pretty darn fun." And then I see this below...

I do not believe those decisions have been made yet, and their blustering gave us all the impression that they intend to use our monies for their uses with the new conference they create in terms of paying for exit fees of schools, etc. Perhaps you are giving them the benefit of the doubt, but I will not. They have made it very clear that if they can screw us out of what we deserve--they will.

My Duck-Buddies, I like having a string of YouTube music videos on in the background when I'm looking for pictures for FishDuck.com articles, and this one below from 15 years ago made me think of us as Oregon fans. We have been through so much as fans, so close--so many times,....do you still believe? I love this cut, and the sax in it is just sensational. At 2:36 is a fantastic refrain that goes into a sax solo, and as an avid Duck fan with new hope given by Dan Lanning....this song inspires me to stay the course. How about YOU? Listen to it more than once and see if this doesn't remind you of being Oregon fan... Charles

Revive the games after everything is settled. I am not against that, but to reward stealing right now is....

My FishDuck Friends, We just had Backlink orders in FishDuck.com articles recently from Australia, Cyprus, Bulgaria and Malta. How about that for global? The more routine ones are in England, and in the US, but we sure have had some dandies over the years. I decided to go back and document the different countries, and you can see the list below. Whew! London, England, UK Tallinn, Estonia Hong Kong New Westminster, Canada Stockholm, Sweden Vilnius, Lithuania (Above) Tel Aviv, Israel Prague, Czech Republic Rigg, Latvia AR Rayyan, Qatar Singapore Saint Etienne, France Moscow, Russia Markovo, Bulgaria Panama City, Panama New York, Miami, San Francisco, United States Limassol, Cyprus Barcelona, Spain Kyiv, Ukraine Tamil, India Sliema, Malta Vestergaard, Denmark Belgrade, Serbia Budapest, Romania Tbilisi, Georgia Csomad, Hungary Skomielna Biala, Poland Port Louis, Mauritius Tumbak Bayuh, Bali Red Hill, Australia So What Are These Gambling References About? FishDuck.com is getting paid to place backlinks into articles. Why, and what is that? Companies, (usually abroad) want their new websites to be found on Google, thus their Google Rankings must go up. These new gambling site companies go to Marketing/SEO companies and pay them to raise their profile, their "SEO Juice" (Search Engine Optimization) with the Google search process. If their new site or company is linked on another site (like mine) that has excellent SEO Juice...then it helps them get found in a Google Search so much better. These links are not advertising, and not meant to generate business, they are just there to be a backlink on my site is all. So I weave them into articles like in a recent article--we this example of how we do it. "Even Mr. FishDuck had some words about the bowl as he was having fun on a brand new independent casino site recently." Do know that I've never placed a single bet anywhere; not online, not at Vegas,...anywhere. I have vices, (like the time spent here) but gambling is not one of them. I thought I'd share it with you, as part of my amusement with it all is looking up where some of these places are...like a small village in the Philippines, or in a suburb of Budapest, etc. This is a worldwide industry that did not even exist ten years ago, and now provides work for thousands across the world. Binangonan, Philippines FishDuck.com is a small part of it, and this is not in reference to the ads you see on the forum, but referring to the links in FishDuck articles. The combination of those ads, and these backlink orders pays for the two sites, and keeps the Shameless Beggar from hitting you all up for donations. Emails from Eastern Europe come in the middle of our night, (middle of the next work-day for them) and I sometimes answer their emails on my phone at 2:00 AM when I get up to go to the restroom. There are a number of sharks in that industry, and I've been fooled in the beginning, but I now have a protocol to stop the bad-guys. But there are a ton of nice people around the world also that I've come acquainted with, due to FishDuck.com, and the correspondence that flies across halfway around the earth. I am still amazed by it. But I am also grateful for it, as the payments into the FishDuck.com PayPal help to pay the Web Developer in England, and the photographers on the sidelines at the games. It is small world now! Charles

Doggone it. We can't have someone reasonable in here! I disagree, but love having opposing views to give us pause and reflection. Good Stuff. Canvasback....I still have this picture you took of me fifteen years ago, when I was on the Spring Game Chain Crew. Many thanks! "I've got to run HOW far after a punt? Not nice to make FAT BOY run!"
