Not Over? UC Regents Begin Probe of UCLA’s Move to Big Ten
OK...the drama is now going to get interesting! Charlie Robinson, the general counsel for the UC Office of the President, seemed to indicate the regents could withdraw the authority delegated to a chancellor. “For this particular matter, the regents could say ‘We want to act and therefore we do not want the (UC) president or the (campus) chancellors to act in this area,’ and simply assert that,” Robinson said. What if....they have to invite Cal, and thus Stanford and take one more....the Ducks? And leave out the Huskies?

The Domino the Pac-12 Was Waiting For: Big Ten Reaches its Media Deal
From the FishDuck Feed, thanks to everyone placing articles in it! The deal worth 1.2 Billion per year? Whew! Good gosh, look at the numbers per school...and I do not see a streaming deal in there with anyone, let alone the biggies. Between them and ESPN...the Pac-12 has options, and the B1G has established the pricing. But... "It's P2 [Power Two] and everybody else," said an FBS source familiar with TV negotiations. "I don't know why anybody is using P5 [Power Five] anymore." Thoughts? Big Ten reaches seven-year media rights deal with CBS, Fox and NBC for football, basketball through 2029-30 - CBSSports.com WWW.CBSSPORTS.COM Marquee Big Ten football games will be showcased across three broadcast windows on Saturdays

Six Schools That the Pac-12 Should Consider Adding
I am in complete agreement; it took me a while to get used to watching TV from a internet stream versus the usual cable, but it looks just as good. And this will allow the millions of Oregon fans to watch the games from anywhere in the world without the nonsense of being with Direct TV, or your cable provider, etc. This is the future...

If You Have ANY Doubts about Lanning--See This
My FishDuck Friends, this is an article below, but I listened to the 34 minute interview below the article with Marshall Malchow...and was blown away by so much of what I heard. You cannot listen to this without realizing further just how special Dan Lanning is, and what made Malchow leave a lucrative job at Texas A&M to come to Oregon. You learn a ton Malchow's role, and a similar history of fighting his way to get hired....as Coach Lanning did. Again...you will learn a ton about Lanning--whew! And yeah...I am biased, but having the FishDuck Feed is so handy. I was sitting on the back patio enjoying the summer breeze, the view and listening to a podcast brought to us by the 'Feed? Sweet. Oregon's chief of staff Marshall Malchow explains what a chief of staff does 247SPORTS.COM Oregon's chief of staff Marshall Malchow explains what a chief of staff does I am so grateful to the incredible efforts of Pennsylvania Duck!

Oregon's Unique Weakness for the 2022 Season
As I wrote...I have complete confidence in TJ Bass on the left side, but in reference to the rest of the offensive line--and what have we been doing for five years? We have been depending upon "Minnie-Me!"

Oregon's Unique Weakness for the 2022 Season
Hello All, I was going to be writing an article about this prior to the Georgia game, but my time is a little limited and my final article before the season will be a "prep" one concerning what to look out for with the Oregon Lanning/Lupoi defense. In all my years of watching Oregon football--this year's weakness is one I've never written about before, and it is unusual. I am referring to the entire season hinging upon whether the Ducks can get good pass-protection blocking from our offensive tackles. Salu at right tackle was eaten alive in the Spring Game, and both he and Stephen Jones fit Cristobal's "big" profile, but they do not have the feet to fend off the edge rushers these days. Salu and Jamarillo had their lunch-money taken often in the Spring Game, and you will see examples of that when I feature Bradyn Swinson, in a short analysis on Thursday. Yet DJ Johnson and others had their way with our offensive tackles as well; it is not always about how good our pass rushers, are, but how bad our pass-protection is from our offensive tackles. Last year we had TJ Bass at left tackle, and he was superb blocking smaller quicker safety/linebacker types in open field in addition to pass rushers. He has the feet, but he must be healthy and playing at tackle, and not at guard as they did often in the spring. If he is the blindside tackle...I rest easy on that side, as we'll be fine. The right side is a horror show that could get our quarterbacks injured. I should not just complain about a problem unless I have a suggestion to solve it, and mine is simple; on obvious passing downs...bring in Josh Connerly on the right side, as he does have the fast feet. He will get schooled from time-to-time, and we will have to take our lumps, but over the longer course of the season--he is our best bet, I believe. Again...used on obvious passing downs until Connerly has the fine-points of run-blocking; Salu can do adequate when we are doing play-action passes if the release is quick or the QB is rolling away from him. Dillingham has brought back a more lethal passing attack that will take shots downfield, and have more longer-developing crossing routes. This means to score a boatload of points and get things teed-up for Lanning's blitzes...we must have the additional time to throw the ball downfield. With good pass-protection we will score a ton more points than last year, and this feeds into Lanning's wheelhouse of turnover-creating blitzing schemes that we will cover later. It all depends on the pass-protection; can Oregon solve it?

The Three Parts of the FishDuck Oregon Sports Community Are Now Complete!
Thank you, although the key word in this is "work," as this new addition also created new duties (and time taken) at night in addition to working with the writers, moderators, rule-violators and Duck News Hunters. And oh-yeah...I'm a writer and analyst too. You just don't know what you're getting into at times, but I am pleased nonetheless. I've wanted this for Oregon fans and I for a long time...

The Eventual College Football Renaissance
David, I appreciate your additional perception of how many schools in the Semi-Pro conferences will change their mind later and opt to be in a traditional conference. I mean, being in a super-conference sounds great until you find yourself in the bottom half of it the vast majority of the time. You could have a fine team that narrowly lost a bunch of games and that is now sub-500, and could be a 10 win team elsewhere. My FishDuck Friends,....could this evolve into how we feel about college baseball versus the players who have opted to enter the minor leagues and work their way up in MLB? We recognize that players in the local Eugene "Ems" team are better than the Duck Baseball team, but it does not diminish my passion for Our Beloved Ducks. Is this where our football team and passion for it is ultimately headed? Great article Mr. Marsh!

Bama, Ducks, Georgia Have The Most Starting Linebacker Talent In FBS
I keep remembering how Dan Lanning helped turn some 3-Star players at Georgia into high draft picks...he can do it here! Jeffery Bassa was a stud, and now he's bigger?
