WiseKwacker and MaiTaiDuck....I love you both as people who post things that I enjoy, but I am going to have to politely disagree with both of you on this one. First...we do not want to write things that discourage people from posting in the future on any topic. (Please keep that in mind) Next...I think (very strongly) that what happens with Washington as a hated rival is very relevant to us, and I personally like the occasional posts about them. It is not like we have five posts a day obsessing over them, but something a time or two a week helps us stay up with the North Division, and if anyone can recover--they can much faster than Stanford, for example. Finally...when Washington is strong, we respect them, but the mood in discussing them is grim. It is a negative reality of life we have to accept and deal with as we did back in the late-80s and early 90s. But now? Get the popcorn and soak it all in, as this is fun to watch them squirm in pain, and gnash their teeth at our success. For me--the Huskies are a great source of entertainment and I want to enjoy it while I can! It is looking down at them, pointing and hooting that is rare fun for us Duck fans in the history of this long rivalry. So thanks to all for posting occasional stuff about Washington, (since I do too) and if you don't like the post, then don't read it! (How can you not love what is going on up there?) This is all they have left at Receiver....

This is beyond blatant and terrible...the descent of CFB is right in front of our eyes. I intend to enjoy cheering Our Beloved Ducks for as long as I can, while I can still recognize CFB.

The local paper, (always a day behind) reports that Hunter Kampmoyer has been on the practice squad all season, but was activated and played for the Chargers in their game this last weekend against Denver. Cool!

It is interesting in that it is reported and the DC contract is reported, but the actual announcement from the university has not happened yet. Perhaps today, and when it occurs--I will post the press release sent to credentialed media as before.

Thanks McDuck!

I wasn't asking for other ones, but why not? And that one is ideal...more is better. THANKS jrw. This could turn into multiple phrases..."the site that doesn't fight."

Well, that and a hammer for when the nasties pop up! Thanks so much, but a TON of the credit does go to the Moderators, as they have just been amazing in catching bad posts before many see them.

Yep, the owner of Scout.com was a Husky and Oregon verbals often lost a star and Washington verbals mysteriously received an upgrade with another star. It is why I do not use 247 Recruiting Rankings (who bought Scout.com) over time because the bias in the rankings for so many years.

There are a lot of people who give their time and I'd love to hug...were it not for COVID, and the distances! The Moderators have been killing-it, keeping us all protected from the nasty stuff...that we don't even have to read. One got caught the other day within eight minutes publishing; a Drive-By Troll, and both he and his gutter post won't be seen here!

Your last one made me laugh, and the first one is quite accurate--good one!

I think Matt makes a great case, and has superb information to support it. But darn....aren't the State of Washington kids taught early-on to "hate Oregon?" Seems hard to overcome, but perhaps the energy of Lanning and the further decline of the Huskies can do so?

My FishDuck Friends....I know it is a bit corny, but it just felt right when it came to me the other night. I have communicated with so many of you, and just love the good people in this Oregon Sports fan community. I was reading the superb posts, and enjoying the absence of tension, of aggression you get at all the other sites, and then it hit me, as we are.... "The Forum with Decorum!"

The praise to Jon Joseph, the writer, is well deserved. It is at the top of the page on FishDuck as it is today's article, and now this thread will be at the top of the forum when I publish this post. (The posts always at the top of the forum are those that have had posts written recently.)

Very heartwarming, as the Lanning staff is already starting to create a "family" vibe. Love it! And thank you BigDog for posting it!

The rivalry game schedule for Saturday has been postponed due to COVID protocols within the Oregon program, just as it postponed the Colorado game on Monday.

(Press Release to Credentialed Media by Oregon Athletics) EUGENE, Ore. — Oregon football head coach Dan Lanning added the final offensive piece to his 2022 coaching staff on Tuesday, announcing the hiring of Carlos Locklyn as the Ducks’ running backs coach. “I am thrilled to have Carlos Locklyn join us here at Oregon,” Lanning said. “He is a dynamic addition to our offensive staff, playing a big role in Western Kentucky’s historically productive offense this past season. I was able to see Carlos’ love and dedication to his players in my time together with him in Memphis. Watching him grow in the profession has been true evidence of his drive and focus. He is a servant leader and will do a great job with our running backs." “Our running back room has a lot of talent, and I am really excited for our student-athletes to learn from a teacher of Coach Locklyn’s caliber. He is going to develop some serious playmakers for the Ducks, but most importantly, some terrific young men. Please join me in welcoming Carlos and his wife, Victoria, and their two children, Donovan and Dorian, to the Oregon family.” Locklyn made his on-field collegiate coaching debut in 2021 as Western Kentucky’s running backs coach, assisting an offense that ranked second in the nation with 44.2 points per game. Locklyn was Florida State’s director of high school relations in 2020, the same role he served at Memphis in 2019 after starting with the Tigers in 2017 as a weight room assistant and working 2018 as an offensive analyst. Locklyn started his coaching career with eight years as a successful high school football coach. “I want to thank Coach Lanning for this tremendous opportunity,” Locklyn said. “As long as you’ve got true passion, strong faith, a will to serve others and work hard, you can do anything you want in life. Know your passion. Dream it. Live it. Love it. Walk-on coach mentality!” Locklyn rounds out an offensive coaching staff that includes offensive coordinator Kenny Dillingham, associate head coach and offensive line coach Adrian Klemm, co-offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach Junior Adams, and tight ends coach Drew Mehringer. Lanning has also hired co-defensive coordinator Matt Powledge, cornerbacks coach Demetrice Martin, defensive line coach Tony Tuioti, and special teams coordinator and nickels coach Joe Lorig. Locklyn developed a running back room that played a big role in Western Kentucky’s historic 2021 offense, which was second nationally in both scoring and total offense (536.2 YPG). Noah Wittington led the team with 617 rushing yards, and Adam Cofield added 373 yards rushing and 176 receiving. As director of high school relations for Florida State, Locklyn helped the Seminoles land a recruiting class that ranked No. 20 nationally by Rivals and No. 22 by 247Sports. Locklyn worked with Lanning at Memphis in 2017, where he got his start at the collegiate level as a weight room assistant for the Tigers. He was promoted to offensive analyst in 2018, when Memphis broke multiple program records and ranked second nationally with 48 rushing touchdowns and fourth with 279.9 rushing yards per game. Unanimous all-American Darrell Henderson was a Doak Walker Award finalist after ranking second in the FBS with 1,909 rushing yards and 22 touchdowns. Locklyn took over as Memphis’ director of high school relations in 2019, helping the Tigers land a signing class that ranked 13 spots better than the previous year and third in the AAC. On the field, Memphis defeated Cincinnati to win the school’s second AAC conference title. Locklyn started his coaching career with eight years at the high school level in Tennessee, beginning in 2009 as offensive coordinator at Trezevant High School. He spent the next two seasons as both the offensive and defensive coordinator at Westwood High School, before serving 2012-14 as offensive coordinator at Manassas High School and 2015-16 in the same role at Cordova High School. The highlight of Locklyn’s high school coaching career came in his final spot at Cordova, where he helped lead the team to a 20-5 record over two seasons. The Wolves reached the Tennessee 6A State Semifinals in 2016 while scoring 32.6 points per game and racking up 2,397 rushing yards. A four-year letter-winner during an impressive playing career at Chattanooga, Locklyn totaled 1,555 rushing yards and added 71 catches for 676 yards out of the backfield. His average of 123.9 rushing yards per game still stands as Chattanooga’s single-season record, and his 6.5 yards per carry rank fifth on the program’s all-time list. Locklyn signed with the New York Giants as a free agent after college, and also spent time playing in the Arena League. He earned his bachelor’s degree from Chattanooga in criminal justice.
