I have been highly critical of article site, Ducks Wire, for their ongoing small articles that often contain blah-blah that I do not allow FishDuck writers to engage in. If you read a full transcript each day of the interviews with the coaches--you will get the information of the next three days of Ducks Wire articles, as they will take a small blurb and then add some blah-blah to make an article from a sentence or two from an interview. Thus they can take one coach's interview and make four articles from it. (As a publisher, I know the strategy well) But Zachary Neel of Ducks Wire wrote a super article about the billboards, and absolutely nailed it along with some further insight that I think all Duck fans should see below. Forget the Heisman; Bo Nix’s billboards are about Oregon recruiting DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM “At the University of Oregon, you’re going to have the opportunity to be recognized. You’re going to be seen not just at a local level, but at a global level.” (This article was posted on another thread, but I wanted to single it out due to its value)

I cannot write it any better than what Kamikaze Kid gave us above...

I am very grateful for all the time studying and creating these analyses by Coach Boles. I suspect we will have a whole lot more to break down this season, and with my new busy schedule--hope I can still do one on defense once in a while.

Not all Utes are friendly to Oregon, but what we have seen on this forum and below is nothing but class.

Look at the top seven of which are 4-Stars, and look at how many Washington has! They aren't building a fence around the state and keeping recruits in, they are building a fence around UW and keeping the recruits out! And look who the No. 1 player is for the state of Washington.... 2024 Top Football Recruits in Washington 247SPORTS.COM The 247Sports rankings are determined by our recruiting analysts after countless hours of personal observations, film evaluation and input from our network of scouts.

Another example of how Geoff really doesn't get it.

Playing to his LA audience, a tool for them no doubt. Skipping the Pac-12 Championship game is called Forfeit, and Oregon will take the conference championship by default just fine! I don't want to play a team again that we already defeated earlier in the season anyway!

I think two divisions of nine each is good; play eight conference games and four non-conference games with a conference championship. Easy-peasy.

Sure, that is easy. But to have faith in Our Beloved Ducks, and in my own analysis...is what I do. Watching this happen, (or not) will make the journey that much more interesting.

This is not about pride with me; this is analysis. When I break down the Spring Game, look closely at the transfers, and learn the Georgia 4-2-5 MINT defense-I could see what was happening. The media does not know Lanning’s defense, as they cannot even get the positions listed correctly for the depth charts! I am not always right, but I feel pretty confident in my assertions. It will make the drama of the season that much more entertaining.

I love this play for the stress it puts on the defense. With Bo’s reputation for running-I would think the opponent would move the safety up into the box to add a defender. That would leave the slant, or a hitch-and-go wide open with the WR. I would prefer seeing this on second or third down, and not fourth down, since there is a good chance of errors. Love it! Thanks Coach Boles!

Good grief. If anyone should get it--Schwartz should, considering how I covered him during his playing days for Chip. This defense will be helped by an emerging Matayo, but the key are the portal transfers on defense that Lanning brought in at LB, DB and JACK linebacker. All those transfers will make a MASSIVE change in the defense, and you heard me declare it now a ton of times while the pundits/media do not recognize it yet. Tysheem Johnson (No. 27) is a fast, but stout defender who fits perfectly at the STAR position. He will be a FORCE for Oregon.

Boy....this is not the kind of attitude I recall from when he was playing there and when he left! (Seeing his success at Oregon has to make them a little butt-hurt)

Agreed, but I thought it was relevant to report and an opportunity to celebrate our newfound depth at Oregon.

Great idea, and the Texas Tech game is a good start.

This would be BIG, as he is a perfect profile for the Lanning defense, and he is the No. 1 rated player in the state of Washington. For the Huskies?

Meanwhile, can't you just feel Coach Witt just all puckered up? (He hasn't had a bowel movement in a week)

Remember years back when his opinion mattered?

BTW...their starters at guard were already going to have thin numbers in reserve, and now... Be grateful that Lanning has loaded up the way he has! That is a big Duck at guard, in Steven Jones, No. 74. And another Oregon site says that the Huskies have very little experience in Running Backs behind the starter who was injured.
