One of our best memories...

City council is trying to fast-track it, as they understand the importance. The city is also looking at selling property to UO in order to make room for the needed practice field space, movement of the street and for additional parking. Sorry if I missed something...just trying to recall it all from the local paper. (Of which I am mightily trying to not comment further on)

The current will be used by all the sports, as scheduling became difficult. Now all the other sports have one, and football will have their own.

On another site it was reported that the admins and coaches at Oregon had great difficulty contacting the family of Spencer Webb, and it was vital to give them the news before reading of it on Social Media. Oregon reached out to Coach Mario Cristobal, who then assisted with the effort with his wide range of contacts to help inform the family immediately. While we fans were not pleased with some elements of his time here, he did a ton of great things for the program and represented it well on the national stage. Character is defined as what you do when nobody is watching, and Mario demonstrated his love for his former player. I want to publicly thank him.

I am not pausing posts on this forum and want to make sure there is no confusion. I am pausing new articles being published on FishDuck...until his funeral/Memorial Services are past, although Oregon fans are quite welcome to continue posting here. Everyone is different; some need to step away for a bit, while others need the distraction of football to help get them through the sadness of such an event. I am trying to offer both; show respect, and deal with my own feelings by not engaging with new articles, and yet continue having this forum available for those who want and need the distraction. Both avenues are fine, I just wanted to have them both available.

Spencer Webb's Girlfriend Releases Heartbreaking Statement After His Tragic Death (PICS) WWW.TOTALPROSPORTS.COM Oregon tight end Spencer Webb died Wednesday in a tragic accident this week, according to a report from the Sacramento Bee. Webb was reportedly cliff diving near the Ducks’ campus when he...

Done.

Like all of you--I am devastated by the terrible loss of Spencer Webb. We will not be publishing articles on FishDuck.com (the article blog/site) for the remainder of this week and next week as a moment of silence for him, the family, friends, Duck fans and Oregon football teammates who will be mourning his loss. Posts on this site, the OBD forum will continue as you wish, although I personally will not posting much during this period. Our GREEN REFUGE cannot escape everything from the real world...

UO Athletics Mourns The Loss Of Spencer Webb Statement from Oregon athletic director Rob Mullens, head football coach Dan Lanning, and the Oregon football program on the loss of Spencer Webb: "We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Spencer Webb. Our hearts go out to his family, teammates, and friends at such a difficult time. We will miss Spencer greatly."

Notalot told me yesterday how Clemson has three 5-Star quarterbacks in the room right now. Alabama had two Heisman winners in the QB room at the same time....this is where the elite programs are, and where we want to be.

The changes have not happened yet, and won't for two years. I am going to enjoy college football to the fullest before it all changes....and that means yelling for whoever USC's opponent is!

And some of us are shouting...."GoGo Offense!" Oregon Football: Is Joe Moorhead Adding the New GoGo Offense? FISHDUCK.COM Oregon fans have heard much this off-season about the innovative, up-tempo Run-Pass-Option (RPO) offense new offensive coordinator Joe Moorhead ran at Fordham...

See if this doesn't begin to change your view about standing pat. We get left behind! (Thanks to Notalot)

This is a critical subject, and a link I will hang onto for when somebody declares, "Stars don't matter," in a post. The Ducks are at least eligible at this point, but I believe will climb that rating with this Lanning staff.

I think our friend was thinking of Noah Sewell, who was the best player on the field in that game.

No. If BYU is great and we beat them, but lose to Georgia and go 11-1...and win the Pac-12 and go 12-1....if we were in that spot--the buzz about Lanning and Oregon would be strong. It would depend upon how well so many other teams do, but I believe 12-1 gives us good shot at the Playoff. That is my fantasy....and I'm sticking to it!

Boy....he makes a great case for ESPN and the Pac-10 to work together....and not. He is bringing great information that we are not receiving from the talking-head "sources." Did you know I did quite the article on Canzano back-in-the-day? How John Canzano Inspired FishDuck FISHDUCK.COM How John Canzano inspired FishDuck (Charles Fischer) to make the fan site, FishDuck.com a santuary for Oregon fans from the cesspool of the usual sports media.

Nope. Utah is the most important IMHO. Doesn't matter what happens in the Georgia game by the end of the season because by then--Oregon will be a much different team under this new staff. But we gotta beat Utah to get into the conference championship for certain. I will admit that payback does enter into it, but it is not a hatred or anything as I highly respect their program. And they were dumped on by the LA schools as we were. If we win that game... ...a conference championship with USC would then be the biggest game. Regardless of the Playoff--get into the Rose Bowl again!

I could not believe my eyes as I read part of an article referring to how Justin Flowe could be a high NFL Draft pick next spring. What? He's only played in two games! But two years have passed and with this being his third year...he is eligible for the NFL Draft in April of 2023. Here's hoping he sets the world on fire this fall for his benefit and Oregon's!

To me, the craziest part is the foolishness of a new coach to change what was working so well. Charles....he is gone now...let it go!

And this does not include how Oregon was the first team in NCAA history to score 45 points a game for five years straight...

How can it get any better than that? Coming from an assistant coach--Wowsa. That is one incredible culture Lanning is building! Something tells me...

Good point.
