He brings up a HUGE point about how streaming could change game-times, (Earlier) and thus improve game attendance. Not to mention the massive number of PAC-12 fans around the globe that would now have access to games through streaming—even if delayed. We could double our audience over what the PAC-12 Network has now!

But they claim they will "flip" him to Seattle... Sure. That'll go well...

Quotes from an On3 article... “I love it up there,” Mothudi told On3. “I feel very comfortable there. Relationships have already been formed with coaches, players and other recruits. It is a genuine feeling of home up there for me.” “What I really like about Oregon is how genuine the vibe is — it is about family there,” he said. “I know the coaches and the players care for one another there. That is how the people are there, and that has always stood out to me." “I believe in those guys and they all care about me not only as a player, but as a person. Coach Lanning is a coach I am excited about playing for." "Once I truly got to meet him, I saw Coach Lanning loves his players, loves the game and loves Oregon. All those things stood out to me.” -------------------------------- Does it get any better than that?

No sweat! We can say anything we want about our opponents--goodness knows I've had some fun with the Huskies!

We gotta to remember to watch for his choice in a few hours!

Yes, that title caught my attention to John's article today. The summary I can give you is... --In June, there was "feeling no time pressure" to the Pac-12 Media contract. But on Tuesday, one member of the CEO Group told John on Tuesday: “The room just shifted.” --What does that mean? Canzano admits he has no idea, and we are all just guessing. --He does not expect any announcements before, or during the Pac-12 meetings in a week. --One member of the Pac-12 CEO Group about the media deal: “All good, but our timing is not being driven by media narratives or others’ deadlines.” (SDST's deadline, I'm sure) --Canzano: "It feels to me as if the Pac-12 knows something the rest of us don’t." (Well, no kidding, John!) Anyone can spin the above either direction, but I remain optimistic. (The Ducks will be fine)

Hello My Duck-Buddies, I am thinking about putting together a place, a restaurant separate room or at a hotel in Eugene/Springfield for those who would like to meet these great OBD community members. This would be on the Friday night before the USC game, thus on November 10th. We would open it up at 4:00 PM, so that anyone who wants to come down from Portland to meet others--has the time later to drive back before it gets too late. (Old farts like I think of stuff like that) The party would last as long as we do! We have some people coming from the east coast for this game, and thought it would be fun to put some faces with the handle-names and share some laughs and lies with one-another. I'm thinking of having some food, (sponsored by FishDuck ads) and a no-host bar. 1. Are you interested in coming? 2. If you live locally--if I need a hand--can you help? 3. We might have a short analysis presentation to spur some discussion as well--just pondering. What say YOU? When I gave an analysis presentation for a group years ago... This could be great fun! Charles You can answer on this thread, or email me charles@fishduck.com

Great article, and an incredibly deep RB room. Thanks David!

Understood. I meant that if Oregon looks more attractive as an offense, and we need an experienced QB for 2024...

Yep, Huskies can get others to flip....

I noticed that JHOP at On3 is staying with Oregon with his prediction....

If Oregon kills it this fall, and UCLA doesn't......

I personally like it inside the 20 yard line, but what I also love is how it messes with their mind. It will begin to sow seeds of doubt..."what else has Oregon got up their sleeve?" That will create hesitancy, which is the same as reacting slow on defense. I love these! Thanks so much to Coach Boles! Terrance Ferguson is perfect for this play...

I was watching the Bowl game again the other night, and Marcus Harper was making some GREAT blocks both inside, and smashing DEs on the edge when he pulled. He filled in for when Steven Jones got hurt, and now has turned into more than just a potential starter, as he was at guard most of last season, but can now also play center. With all the transfers--he might be the overlooked candidate to start? I love my offensive linemen...

My favorite image from that time period...

How this below could come in the mail to my office...is beyond explanation. In fact I am not sure how to react....should I be insulted or complimented? (They think I'm a coach? Wrong one!) I was unsure if it was safe to open!

Georgia offers almost no NIL compared to most--as they can sell a different package. Oregon's NIL, let's say $200,000 with all the other benefits is something a player can use to focus on school and football, and not have to work part-time. But if a team (like Arizona) offers a million, (of which is the rumor) then for many players/parents....they gotta take that crazy money now. There isn't much left for the Wildcats to spend on other players, and thus Rushing won't have a great team around him...but he's got his. I don't blame them, and I don't blame Oregon. If Oregon matches his million dollar NIL, then you get bankrupted quickly when paying equal amounts to the rest of the Ducks. You are right--we missed a good one, but there will be others in the 2024 class, and I think at least one of the other four Edge-Rushers recruited last year will materialize to help Matayo Ug. next year.

The rumor is that two days before his announcement--he was all-Oregon until Arizona offered a crazy NIL amount. It would explain why his parents were happy at his verbal ceremony, and he was not. Oregon offers an attractive NIL, but not the best. We will get out-bid on certain players.

For the 2023 class and thus far of 2024....Oregon has 28 of the 4/5-Star players on Rivals, and Arizona has 4. Of the 2024 class...Rushing is the only 4/5 Star out of 18 verbals to date. For all the talk about Arizona's coach? Mark Helfrich recruited better...

What are Cal fans doing? (Zero 4/5-Star players two years running, and to think Wilcox could have OUR coach?) Some Oregon fans need to appreciate what we have!

It comes down to this with Rushing; Arizona cannot pay other players like you, thus you will not be surrounded by great talent as you will at Oregon. You will get tripled-teamed as Thibs did here, but now we will other rushers who will take the pressure off you and allow you to have great stats, thus a better NFL contract. Do you want the money now or bigger money later? (And play with a winner)

Yep...Phil loves us....

A quarterback could be named as Pac-12 honorable mention....and come out looking better in the post-season. These QBs are good-good-or-good.... But I'll take mine...

When he is calling our latest verbal "family,"....that certainly bodes well?
