It's always good to know what will be available in the portal in a few years!

Wowsa. Good question!

A good one... Dante Dowdell, 2023 Running Back - Rivals.com N.RIVALS.COM The definitive source for all Rivals news. Oregon lands four-star commitment from Mississippi RB Dante Dowdell N.RIVALS.COM Dowdell becomes the fourth commit in the 2023 class for Oregon.

I pulled this pinned post down and wanted it to drift away! But I love the photo...

I suppose every fan base blames NIL for when they lose a recruit, and obviously--they don't know that Oregon is not paying top-NIL dollar. But they have their argument groomed from years of, "if it were not for Phil Knight," without looking at the great hires at Oregon, and the horrendous hires at Washington. I am not being noble, (and I never claimed to be) but I can't get enough of this! Crazy Quotes: Assistant Coaches "What is their OC going to be like? Adrian Klemm? Demetrice Martin? You're recycling coaches who are great recruiters, but there's a reason they haven't lasted long at the places they have been." "Someone has their Green and gold Goggles on. Oregon has some very shaky assistant coaches." "Lanning has raised questions with his ability to build a staff and we already dealt with that learning curve with Lake. Every coach at Oregon gets praised as a recruiter using Phil’s money for pay for play and facilities plus Nike influence, but this is a questionable Oregon staff in terms of proven coaches." "Old saying about assistant coaches, “if you don’t know much, you can’t teach much “. Not sure the UO assistants know much." Oregon Wins on Money Alone "It’s a mercenary environment more than it is a team." "Makes me wonder if their mercenary style of recruiting will back fire after a mediocre season. How many of those players will jump ship at the first sign of trouble for greener $$$ pastures?" "The perception here is that Duck fans have no problem with the program being one of the few in the country endowed with enough money to basically buy a top tier football team (thanks to Uncle Phil) - they don't care as long as the team wins. Does that perception feel accurate to you, or is there any debate within Duck Nation about the ethics involved when you can afford far more NIL $$$ than most of your competitors?" "I for one thinks it’s gonna be pretty cool from here on out when we beat Oregon or USC. All of our local bigtime talent coming back to Husky stadium wearing the green and yellow only to be taken down by the home team that was looked past by the mighty Duck machine. We will hang our hats on our superior education and quality of young men. Hold up our nose at the immoral practices of the pay to play schools. Trading championships for ethics." About Oregon's Team "Their D-line could be in trouble." "This program can win eight games a year on talent alone, but can they beat USC or Utah or even Stanford?" Response to Oregon Fan: "Your LBs will be your only strength on “D”. Because your DL will not get pressure (w/o T) your secondary will be exposed . Sorry, Ducks will be lucky to get 7 wins. Think about the last time OR tried to promote an assistant coach (MH) to HC- didn’t the Dawgs hang 70 on him before you fired him?" "Impacted? They will win 8-9 games a season on talent alone and if get coached up watch out. Hate to admit that but it's true I believe."

Whew!

Or will it break my heart? One down, but the other two? Whew!

Coach Jack Marder will bring that batting average up further!

Georgia fans...the classy, reasonable and knowledgeable ones like you are always welcome...even if the Ducks lose. I welcome Utah fans--even though their team kicked our butt twice this last season. Why? Because like you and the other Bulldog fans--their intentions are good, and their behaviors here are honorable. I look forward to tons more banter with opposing team fans... Except Huskies of course...

I believe he will stay there, as retirement is a more likely outcome in the forthcoming years. Perhaps some of the local Utah fans that check in here can give their thoughts?

Ty Thompson beat some pretty good names in the Friday competition...and is the youngest QB at the event? See story below the tweet... College quarterback standouts from the Manning Passing Academy - On3 WWW.ON3.COM Many of college football's top quarterbacks threw at the Manning Passing Academy on Friday night, with several turning in standout showings.

Great post and unfortunately...I agree with you. USC will be a powerhouse, and I believe Oregon will be as well, thus some epic games coming up!

As we know--Justin Herbert won a State Baseball Championship as the star pitcher. I wished I had watched him pitch...6'6" staring you down with 90+ mph fastball?

It does not stop there; they celebrate their mythical national championship, even creating a trophy and awarding it to themselves in a halftime ceremony a few years ago. The year of the "championship" was 1991, and what happened in 1992? The Pac-8 and the NCAA penalized the heck out of them for all the dirty-dealings that I will not detail again. The point is--they won their championship by cheating...and celebrate it! Who does that? Only the Huskies... Their "championship" was declared by a newspaper poll, and thus they don't go back later and correct those. Hence why USC lost their BCS championship, but Washington has not been held accountable and had their championship removed as they should have. Husky fans know this and celebrate their dishonest winning regardless. These really are terrible, loathsome people.

Agreed. There must be the threat of a law-suit, or something that was brewing that we will never know. Or perhaps Phil lost confidence in Johnson?

Crap. Cross that name off!

There might be some bad blood with the way the Powell took some athletes with them to Seattle. The North Carolina A&T coach built something out of nowhere... (No 9 in the nation)

Apparently Marcus Mariota and Justin Herbert happen to both be "vacationing" in Eugene this weekend? What perfect timing! Sure looks like 5-Star running back Richard Young is getting into "Shout" pretty well! This guy below is big-time...

A change from this....

I've noticed that Dana has gone from wearing a shirt and tie to much more casual on the sidelines at Duck games. I am old-school, and prefer coaches of all sports to dress up, as it looks more professional. (You don't see that on football sidelines anymore)

Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Absolute killer lines! Axel is...

I'd rather have the pitcher we lost!
