Should be more!

OK...no commentary in the post above the link you are pasting, and no pictures; just post the article URL and the article box will appear in the post and that is all we need. This way the post is smallest in order to allow for scrolling faster through them. It is also much easier for the Duck News Hunters, as they don't have to put in a headline/title, as you are not starting a new thread, but responding to that day's FishDuck Feed post. This could work well, as we would have MORE articles posted, but in their own area. We would have the best collection of Duck News out there each day and it would be free. Cool.

Evaluating 2023 Oregon Ducks Linebacker Commit Jerry Mixon - Sports Illustrated Oregon Ducks News, Analysis and More WWW.SI.COM Taking a closer look at what the Ducks are getting in their newest commit.

Really good to see and can't wait... FULL GO: Oregon TE Patrick Herbert Back to 100% in Fall Camp WWW.YARDBARKER.COM It feels like 2022 could be a year of breakouts for numerous players on the Oregon offense. Dont'e Thornton, Bryon Cardwell, Terrance Ferguson and Troy Franklin highlight some of the players fans are most excited to see in Kenny Dillingham's system. One player that may have flown under the radar a bit is tight end Patrick Herbert.

From our own Pravda... Football Practice Report: Aug. 13 - University of Oregon Athletics GODUCKS.COM The Ducks held a scrimmage Saturday afternoon inside Autzen Stadium.

Holy Crap! I just counted up the articles posted yesterday in the main area of the forum below and there were THIRTY ONE of them! (31!) There are so many more great articles out there than I realized and I want a place for them all, and yet have room for tons of conversation about the games/players/coaches when the season starts. I love what the Duck News Hunters are doing, and they are bringing us tons of content, and I want it all for everyone; a safe to post with room to discuss, along with a platform to hold the day's articles. This is the best Data Aggregator for Duck News than what I've seen in many years...31 articles in a day, and it is not even in football season yet! So I am looking at having a Pinned Post each day for articles, (the FishDuck Feed) and then the main area below the Pinned Posts retained for the real discussion. The Web Developer in England has some thorny tech issues to solve to make this happen in a more automated fashion. I was thinking about having one FishDuck Feed Pinned Post for an entire week and have the latest posts on top if the hard code of the site would accommodate it. But I'm thinking now of doing it by the day after the short testing below I've done. I think it would be cool to have one area to go to see the tons of articles that I can scroll through to see what I want to read. Then when one makes me want to comment--I do it below in the main forum area as we normally would. if you have feedback...email me [email protected] or reply below and THANKS to Moderators and the Duck News Hunters who give their time for the thousands who read here.

I am SO GLAD I don't go to these any longer. C'mon....did he really tell us anything? If DZC and I were there...you would know a whole-lot more! He gave us a bunch of classic "blah-blah," although that is what all coaches do. And then...when you do ask a great question that gets answered? All the other journalists are right there recording it, and everyone reports the same "scoop" you had. No, I am quite satisfied to let all the other outlets report the news and then we discuss it or do our own analysis of it after the games. Yes, I have a pet-peeve with Coachspeak. Now this was a scoop... Fish Report: Oregon's New 3-4 Defense FISHDUCK.COM (Please note that this white paper was written and distributed onto a number of Oregon forums in June of 2010, but this article of the White Paper was not...

The written transcript, (second post) was excellent. While the format was written well...in the end the coach didn't tell us much. Gosh I am glad I no longer waste my time going to those when I can let the 15 outlets all report the same thing and I can read. And thanks to Pennsylvania Duck for posting this and so many others...."killing-it!"

There is a particular position in the Mint defense that Lanning uses, and this hybrid LB/Safety is called a "Money" linebacker. More information about it all in FishDuck articles (from yours-truly) coming soon!

You gotta have a little fun...

Trust me, I was getting pretty impatient too. But because I am media credentialed, I got the email today about it and wanted to get it up there for everybody.

He had two guys crossing with a small window open, but he wasn't great at throwing those! Great to see him at Baltimore, as he would fit that offense...

You can print off the new fall player roster with Heights and Weights right here.

He is an unrated "no-stars" with Rivals as of this date. However seven Pac-12 schools offered including UCLA and Washington, so that is nice.

The Arizona fan on the left, and Oregon fan on the right at hearing the news...

Next week we are covering a "Delayed Inside Linebacker Blitz" that was in the Spring Game and that Flowe would be perfect for. I thought Flowe was faster than Sewell, and the speed times posted recently confirm that.

Thornton.

What is funny is that I posted this article on a Husky forum--as it is respectful of their coach. Yet they would not clear it to show on their forum...because it came from a Duck!

Agreed. As someone is known in the Oregon football community for having issues with Cristobal...his win in the 'Shoe was pretty important for the program and an incredible victory.

Perfectly stated. It is not hard, but a small number make it that way. And to think when I began...we had no rules. "We are all adults...right?" The "no rules" lasted about a month, until people started doing stuff.

In the rules.... No. 13: Trying to Sidestep the Rules with Sarcasm? Sarcasm is a subtle form of belittling, of making fun of an individual or a group for their view on a topic. It inhibits people from posting their opinion in the future, and thus is forbidden on FishDuck; we do not want any form of maligning behaviors, (no matter how minor) on FishDuck because of differences of opinion. No. 14: No SNARKY posts or responses, as this can be a variation of sarcasm, but also can be flippantly insulting and/or a derivative of one of the violations above. It is not polite and respectful as we require on this site, thus it will be deleted.

Q: Charles, what I wrote was pretty benign...barely anything, and yet you deleted it and sent me a violation email. Isn't that over-the-top? A: What you wrote was fairly tame, but I look at..."will it start something?" In the early years of moderating...I would agonize and decide to not do anything about a denigration or a political post that was minor in nature, as I did not want to haggle with the OBD member about it. But posts that are even barely offensive/political will generate a response from someone, and that receives another response and the result is a terrible fight. Threads of insults, name-calling, people leaving the site for good...these were ghastly events that I resolved to never allow to occur again. And they could have all been prevented by removing the first post that went over the line. So yes, I stomp on posts that stray over-the-line. Not only does it Prevent Forest Fires, but "anything you allow...you will see again--soon." We do not want to set a new low bar for posting. This is not about your opinion on a topic, as I want to see all of those. Disagreement is not only allowed but encouraged; it is when people start to get personal or political that the line is crossed. Q: Fine, then I'm out. A: Yep, we have many people who upon seeing a violation email declare that they are not posting anymore. My attitude is, "if you are tough enough to violate our rules...you are tough enough to receive a violation email." Besides, the email tells people that, "you are not banned, or even warned. I am simply notifying you of the violation, and then we forget about it and move on." And 99% of you do, as we all make a mistake on occasion, (me too!) and we need some slack for the majority here who are good people. But some OBD members are very sensitive, and even though he told me often how he appreciates our rules? "I love the rules until they are applied to me!"

Like many of you...this is an article I did not like, but needed to see. I am grateful to DZC for doing the homework, and presenting it in a way that I don't think is offensive to either side. DeBoer will bring them back to respectability, IMHO, but whether he can make them elite will depend upon his recruiting skills. Not a good start thus far with only two 4-Star players on Rivals out of 19 committed? Whew! Let's assume he gets one more...a total of three 4-Stars out of 23 signed would place you about No. 34 in the standings last year. Yes I understand his record of doing-more-with-less, but that recruiting will not put you into the Playoffs. And if he does begin to recruit well, I think it will take a while as Oregon loads up further.

A 4-Star on Rivals too....please-please-please!

And of all things...this came from a former Husky!
