I predict at the end of next season....Miami fans will be worried about him transferring...

Mental Health for Teammates? What about the mental health of the fans who have driven CRAZY by the stupid moves of those who are supposed to represent our conference?

Outstanding post, and I look forward to diving in further with you as we get closer.

My FishDuck Friends, (I hope you don't mind me calling you that!) I am so excited about a new feature available now in the forum, and you don't have to do anything different than before! When you bring a raw link over of an article to share with everyone....now when you paste it in the Posting Box, there is an article box that will appear automatically inside the Posting Box as you see below! Recruiting: Football still trying to reel in OT, in line for 5-star QB WWW.ADDICTEDTOQUACK.COM New head coach Dan Lanning’s staff is hard at work trying to bring big talent to Eugene in the wake of changes. Other readers just click on the box and a new window comes up with the article in it! This is something I've wanted for a LONG TIME, and I am very grateful to the web developer in Sheffield, England (UK) who made it work for us. So cool! (I know...I am easily amused)

Pretty amazing, and now to see if it holds up! Whew!

One of the best lines ever concerning the purple madness, and how can you not be smiling reading that post? Thanks for making my day, Axel!

Jon...your in-depth knowledge of so many college teams never fails to impress me. Great information!

As all of you can imagine...I am not pleased with the news of extensive use of the Pistol by Dillingham. However the biggest problem was the predictability of the plays out of that formation, and if the new staff can mix it up enough as Coach Boles explains--then it can work. I will reserve judgment until I see it in action this fall! And I appreciate Coach Boles bringing this to us.

Jon, They were dead serious as they wrote this, and there was more written in the thread but these were the best ones. So I guess that makes them delusional, which would certainly not be surprising!

Frankly, the Ducks are getting respect that is yet unearned. But we will take it!

Duck 1972… I do not think Jon finds anything invalid with your opinion, he simply disagrees, and did so in a nice way.

I can tell you that they all were from different people on the Husky board, and I'm assuming that the defamation is the re-working of my nickname? I assumed it was in jest...

Omigosh...what an awful name..."FishDog," and I just shudder writing it. Somebody told me I needed to create one of these forums for each of the Pac-12 schools, and I would have to be on each as FishBruin, FishBear, FishCat, FishBuff, etc. When we got to Washington I said, "that's a deal-breaker." Well that, and I did not know what I was going to do with Oregon State...

Truly...as I read that last line I was taking a sip of water and just about blew it out my nose. I enjoyed the first part as, I am Catholic too and have no interest in the 'Domers, but the last part got to me...big. After taking a big gulp, and wiping my nasal area...I admit to liking the last four words....but I shouldn't. (But I do!) There so many out there in the community like you, and I'm glad all of you found this forum. Such fun reading your posts, and that last one was a dandy.

My friends, I cannot make up the irrational behavior of the Huskies below who actually wrote such nonsense on a major Washington forum. The topic is about Justin Wilcox turning down Oregon...?? --"I have admired Justin Wilcox since he coached at the UW. I always thought he was a standup person. I admire him even more after reading the article on his turning down the Oregon head coaching job. I have never thought that Oregon's athletic department had any ethics in any of their athletic programs. Now I am even more firmly entrenched in that belief. Wilcox stood up for what he thought, and is, the right way in how to recruit and be a successful program. Oregon's win at all costs attitude is now even more exposed and should be used against them as much as possible. I know that the NCAA is toothless and cannot enforce any punishments, and it is highly unlikely that anyone would go after Oregon since they are a Nike backed program and Nike is a very important money provided to many of the NCAA programs. But bringing to light every illegal act that they do would bring immense harm to the reputation that they are trying to purchase." --"UNike is essentially the definition of a "win at all costs" school at present, there is no real question about that. Wilcox had to know it, but he saw the reality very dramatically in the specific conditions that were associated with UNike's offer to him to be the head football coach. He had to hire certain assistant coaches with known histories of payola and he had to agree to employ certain recruiting "tactics". I am pretty certain there were other conditions as well. Since Wilcox actually has ethics and integrity he turned UNike-Knight down." --"Wilcox is pretty great… For the life of me, I could not figure out all the vitriol on this board, in regards to Wilcox, during the UW coaching search…." --"One problem…. Wilcox has ethics. Go figure." These days are DAWG-GONE...

You are welcome to go to GoDucks.com, and go to football, and then look for "Archives" at the top. You can then look up game-by-game, and it would be great to hear what you come up with!

Agreed Haywarduck, because if Scott Frost did not have the strength to pull him back from attacking the crowd, Blount may very well have ended up in jail, and not the NFL! And I do not blame Chip for feeling the way he did, because at that time did not want Blount to return to the team or even fly home on the same airplane! Over on another pay site, I was pummeled with over 50 different insults for posting that opinion a dozen years ago. Blount should count his blessings that it turned out as good as it did considering what he did, and what he wanted to do. Chip had more forgiveness in his soul at that moment than I did! I did not want to see Oregon football represented nationally by that image of Blount…

I love this article for one obvious reason, and that is that 80 plays as a goal, is as symbolic of returning to the brand, as is the scoring that will come from it. The second observation is more of what is hidden in his well researched article, and that is that holding teams to 21 points per game can be a winner at Oregon if the offense is scoring at high levels. Holding teams to a 12 or 14 point average per game is kind of unrealistic at Oregon, as we will simply not have Georgia or Alabama talent on Defense. But increasing the scoring quite a bit and holding opponents to 21 points? That IS something Oregon can do, and get into the playoffs eventually with it. And as the return to the Oregon brand continues, the recruiting of SPEED will escalate. Great article, David!

I normally don't post "visit" recruiting articles, but it is slow and this is an area of need to achieve Coach Lanning's vision. 5-star DL Lebbeus Overton, Top Unsigned Defensive Player in 2022, Locks in Visit to Oregon Ducks by Zachary Neel of YahooSports Boy.....this guy can sure shed blocks quickly and get to the quarterback--even from a DT position!

I salute you, as it is the hardest game in the world. If you don't believe me--ask Jon! BTW...the Oregon Womens Golf team is currently ranked No. 3 in the nation and has won two big tournaments. Haven't seen that before...

Ducks up 3-0 after two innings and the freshman pitcher for Oregon, Tommy Brandenberg, is looking very impressive.

Belay all of that DVR stuff from before, as the game is starting on the Pac 12 network at 2 o’clock even though the schedule says different. It has a happy error! Oregon has been striking big in early innings, so this first half hour being missed is not cool. Got to love our own network! Look....St. Johns is not a good team, but this is a tremendous "get-right" weekend for Oregon, as new players got their confidence and Coach Waz is able to try players at other positions and batting order spots. It gives us a chance to get acquainted with the team, AND see a ton more hitting with players that are taught to be aggressive coupled with a new "hitting-friendly" confines of PK Park. You will rarely see a bunt with this team!

And I think both are going to be tough. We were fortunate to hit the shots at the end when playing the Cougs, and they were very athletic. And Washington has been beating a ton of teams, and is much better than when we played them last time. It is hard to beat a decent team on their home floor that is fired up when you slaughtered them before... And if we lose one or both....the only way to the tournament is an improbably Pac-12 Tournament Championship, IMHO.

You might re-think that one...as fishing gear for 85 players could be quite a cost...

Agree. With the boatloads of money the NFL makes, it would hardly be considered Marxist with their financial results that benefit the owners, coaches and players.
