OREGON ATHLETIC COMMUNICATIONS FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE | MONDAY, JANUARY 11, 2021 EUGENE, Ore. – Due to recent COVID-19 developments within the Arizona State program, the Oregon women's basketball team's game in Tempe this Sunday, Jan. 17, has been postponed. The Pac-12 Conference will work with both programs to attempt to find a mutually agreeable date to reschedule the contest. No. 10 Oregon will face No. 11 Arizona on Thursday, Jan. 14, at 4 p.m. PT in Tucson. The game will be nationally televised on ESPN.

Awesome and surprising! Thanks for passing that along...

I want Ohio State to win to stop this ongoing Alabama/Clemson/SEC cabal continuing, but I feel the offense of the Tide is a bit too much for any team at this time. Thoughts?

I cannot help but wonder what the upside ultimately is!

Boy I don't know if we can survive any more injuries as losing Figueroa would be quite a set-back. We need all hands on deck for the Arizona schools!

So cool-thanks for bringing it to our attention. Justin learned how to take a hit and deliver and it paid off big-time for him this year. So proud!

The fumble of Cam Newton deep in Auburn territory that was ruled as an incomplete pass was a game-changer as well.

He seems like another Dennis Dixon who can throw and run with one exception; Dixon had the skinniest legs I've ever seen on a quarterback. I have forearms bigger!

I see the men as a Sweet Sixteen team if everything goes well, and we achieve our potential. So I am not worried at the drop at all. The Women? The potential to be an Elite-Eight team is there if they continue to develop, and THAT is the fun to watch!

Outstanding post, and I am grateful for your reported experience with the vaccine. Hence the thorny issue gets tougher...another great post for me to ponder. And this is why I wanted to bring this up--to see other ramifications I had not considered. Thanks to all for your responses--very illuminating. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BTW everyone....you can quote just one sentence or part of a sentence. Just highlight what you want to respond to and a small box comes up "Quote" and you click it. Bingo--it appears in your post. And obviously...you can do this several times. Handy and easy!

I think that if they played together as a group for a while--they could beat over half the teams in America right now! I have wondered about platooning, and having two groups play together consistently and get that chemistry needed for set plays and defensive switches, etc.? If there was ever a team that could platoon--this is it?

OK....I think this is going to change!

Yes, this is going to be hard for people to write without getting political, but if any community can do it--this one can. So many questions that we all will be dealing with later in all aspects of life; is it fair or right to require a vaccination? If millions choose not to, is it fair to make the rest have to wear masks, practice social distancing and have the economic hardship restrictions in place? Can someone sue for transmission of COVID when he/she choose not to get a vaccination? (Big impact on Oregon for games, IMHO) My concern is that whatever the most stringent practice is available....UO will choose it, and tons of people will be hosed in the process. What Oregon did with photographers at the games this year was flat-out ridiculous... As a season ticket holder--I have concerns about where this is going! Ah no, this is not me...

Ok, I am surprised at what I see below, and while they credit all the great offensive linemen to Mirabal....I think a certain head coach was much more influential? And Mastro must be doing this at other positions other than running back? Ken Wilson is a surprise; is it really him at the linebacker position or others in support like Mirabal that are getting the recruiting done? And I am not surprised at the No. 1 recruiter--he's good. There are 96 assistant coaches in the conference, and Oregon has four in the top ten in recruiting? Pretty impressive...

It still pains me....so many bad calls in this game; the ultimate hose-job on Oregon.

New positions in the athletic department that did not even exist before a decade ago are having turnover with the Ducks, and they will be missed. Usual movement, or...?? The latest is here.

A very good decade for Our Beloved Ducks, and Husky fans....your win ranking is dropping like your recruiting rankings! (No. 39 on Rivals for this 2021 class? Yikes!)

To me, this is a no-brainer; you must be vaccinated and have proof to enter Autzen. This way everyone is protected, we don't have to wear masks, etc. But in this Twitter thread below, many people disagreed and even stated he/she would stay home and watch if a vaccination is required. I guess the question is, "if Oregon does not require proof of vaccination, and people have not been vaccinated and subsequently get COVID while at Autzen...can they sue UO when it was their own choice to eschew the vaccine available?" This is looking to be a thorny national issue, and it is hard to discuss without bringing in politics, but we must avoid anything pertaining to the "P" word. What are your thoughts about what should be done and where this is going? Beautiful photo of Autzen BTW...

A quarterback must have the same "no-memory" of interceptions that defensive backs have after being burned for a touchdown. You can still come back and win the game...

It has been just about one year since the Rose Bowl win. Justin Herbert, Troy Dye and their compatriots capped off their program-building careers with a conference championship and a win in the most important game to the Pac-12. It was a high point for the back half of a decade that saw Oregon reach new heights and fall right back to ... Read the full article here...

Outstanding thoughts and post; please post more often! Your last suggestion is very intriguing to me, and I appreciate your taking the time.

The pleasant surprise that occurred when I began really being serious with applying the rules, and it was not just the absence of the trolls, but everything you read are now interesting points people are making. I do not have to "filter" and sort out posts as I scan through them as I do at other sites. At FishDuck and now at this forum....I can leisurely enjoy reading one post after another and not have to do any sorting. And that is actually a big deal. It makes it more effective, but it also makes the reading more enjoyable. An ancillary benefit I did not anticipate...
