  1. Most think the Cardinal will clean the clock of the Ducks...can Our Beloved Ducks prevail?
  2. Boy I wish Kampmoyer would reconsider, as I am not sure if he would make an NFL roster, and next year we have only one experienced (and healthy) tight end returning in DJ Johnson. Austin Faoliu has declared for the draft as well, and that is not a surprise.

  5. Who are the candidates for transfer? Those two are buried in the depth chart, and it only makes sense that if you are not in the two-deep soon--you will get passed by highly ranked rookies coming in. I noted that Braylon Addison was playing corner for the bowl game? Is that a tell? Daewood Davis scoring...
  6. The Oregon men are gradually moving up the rankings as they continue winning, and my question is..."how much better can they be?" Dana Altman believes there a ton more upside, so perhaps a top-ten is possible with this team? The Women slipped from No. 8 to No. 11 and will probably slip further if/when they lose to No. 1 ranked Stanford on Friday. Yet I believe by the end of the season--they will be in the top ten again. Pretty powerful conference with Stanford at No. 1, Arizona at No. 7, UCLA at No. 9 and Oregon at No. 11. Whew! Thoughts?
  7. Wonderful article Alex, and I think the impact of Jamal Hill has been underappreciated. If you go back to the end of the UCLA game, the final fourth down pass by the Bruins to win the game was broken up by....Jamal Hill. So if we add that game and the miracle interception at the end of the USC game....Hill saved half of Oregon's victories!
  8. In the painful last month of football for Our Beloved Ducks, it’s been tough to see the bright spots in some bleak, bleak team performances. Rotating quarterbacks, disastrous special teams mistakes, losing fumbles and confidence all culminated the season on a dissonant note falling on the collective deaf ears of Oregon fans. But there were some welcome surprises in these ... Read More Source View the full article...
  9. So many ways to address this: As Duckpop22 once said...."Mario Cristobal has held the Oregon offense down better than any defense since Auburn of 2010!"
  10. Yes, as we know...the news changes fast, and we cannot know in advance when the best time is to publish an article. I thought (as publisher) that it was a high probability of Avalos leaving, thus why I wanted to publish this article today. (The news could break this afternoon, tonight, in the morning...and when you publish after the fact--it's old. And besides we learned a ton from the article.) And because Coach Boles is first at giving us great options--his article is killing it out there with a HUGE page-view day for the site. (FishDuck) And it is an adjustment to me, as I now have two websites! FishDuck and the Our Beloved Ducks Forum!
  11. If the Pac-12 does not have a back-up plan in place for officials who test positive, then yes--teams should be reimbursed. The problem is--the money comes from the rest of us! A management problem with the Pac-12 and Pac-12 Officials...now aren't they two-peas-in-a-pod!

  13. OREGON ATHLETIC COMMUNICATIONS FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE |MONDAY, JANUARY 4, 2020 EUGENE, Ore. – For the third time in his career, Chris Duarte has been named Pac-12 Player of the Week, the Conference announced Monday. The senior from Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic, averaged 21.0 points per game on 50 percent shooting (15-of-30), including 47 percent from three-point range (9-of-19) in the Ducks’ weekend sweep of California and Stanford. He also averaged 4.5 rebounds and 2.5 steals per game. Duarte was at his best in the closing minutes of each game. He scored 14 of his 19 points in the final 5:18 to help the Ducks turn a three-point lead into a 13-point victory over the Golden Bears on Thursday. Saturday versus Stanford, Duarte tallied 11 of team-high 23 points in the final 5:43 to turn a four-point cushion into a 17-point win. This is Duarte’s third career Pac-12 Player of the Week award and first this season after collecting the honor twice in 2019-20. The three POTW awards trail only Dillon Brooks and Blair Rasmussen (four each) for the most in Oregon program history. Duarte is the second Duck to win Pac-12 POTW honors this season. Eugene Omoruyi was named Pac-12 Player of the Week after averaging 26.5 points and 7.5 rebounds per game against Missouri and Seton Hall during Oregon’s opening week of the season. No. 17 Oregon plays at Colorado Thursday night at 8 p.m. PT (FS1).

  17. OK, maybe not the greatest, but it is pretty incredible for the moment. This picture below by Gregory Fisher of USA Today on GoDucks.com will be gone soon, so we have to savor it. Or perhaps there will be many more of Dillon Brooks and Payton Pritchard?
  18. Ever thought about what a hassle it is to find where you left off on a topic when you come back hours later? You don't recall how many posts were in the thread when you left and now you have to "go-fish" (pun intended) to see where the thread was finished when you last were in there reading it? So the feature that I love, the "Unread Posts" feature, is something we all will love. Click on the dot or star to the left of a topic and it will take you right where you left off reading last time! So cool! What is the difference between a star to the left versus a dot? And why do most of you not see a star? Because a star is a topic that you began, and when you have read all the posts--the star is not black, but it is still there in a transparent-kind-of-way. A dot is there to the left of a topic someone else began and you've been enjoying reading through in the past...and now there are new ones to read. Click on the dot and it takes you right to where you left off!
  19. I thought that since he did not have great speed, that perhaps the strong safety or nickel in the Avalos defense would have been a good fit for him. He might have been a good replacement for the loss of Holland!

      Hello,

      The challenge I have is all the different shades of yellow that get washed out on the site when we use picture backgrounds as we do.  We actually spent a ton of time selecting that bright yellow as it works the best with what we are trying to accomplish. I imagine there is a way of adjusting your computer monitor in terms of brightness and I would ask a tech-savvy friend to help you in that area.  (In the utilities section?)

      When the forum gets big enough, then we can have separate forum for basketball and one for football, but we are a long ways from achieving that critical mass yet.  There is nothing worse than a "Dead-Forum," and thus why I want to combine them all for the present in order to have frequent new posts for the members to read.

      Scrolling through the few new posts each day only takes a few seconds...

      Sorry,

      Charles

      Charles, 

      Thanks for the quick reply, I enjoy the fact the forums appear so energetic, just like the uniforms.  Thanks for the recommendation, I will give it a try.  You sure have got this Duckscussion Board flying with info, have enjoyed it since the days of you hosting the video breakdowns of Chips offense.  Glad you have not relented in your endeavour to create a site for civil discussion to occur about the Oregon Ducks programs.  While not everyone has or will agree with each other, all the time, there is enough opportunity to converse like adults trying to understand what is happening with "our beloved ducks".  Again thank you.

      Thanks and please...we need to get the activity going on this new forum, so please jump in and respond to all the topics!  My moderating process now is done privately with offenders, and thus nobody sees what is happening in that area, so it all appears clean.

      But trust me--this janitor is still taking out the trash!  😄

      Thanks for understanding and do know we will always be improving, as I am working on changes right now...

  21. At times I am so amazed at all the talent, yet not really have a dominating shot-blocker or "big" down low will hurt us later...or will it? Nice article here about the Stanford game as a review, and that game was so tough and it did not look for a number of times for the Ducks. Yet the final score makes it appear they won comfortably and it was anything but that. Thoughts?
  22. This is a nice article about the growth of the Womens program despite the loss Sunday. Coach Graves has some great quotes about the game, the players and especially the freshmen in this article. I did not know that Dugalic had back-to-back nine rebound nights!
  23. It is losses like last night that will fuel the fire for the upcoming season and tournaments. That game was there to be won, and my goodness there were so many mistakes through the game--so many "gimmie-easy" shots missed and sloppy passes. This will be a great learning opportunity in their film study, and will make them better. It is great to see the light-bulb go on for a freshman when he/she discovers, "I can do this!" For Dugalic, this was that game, and it hints at a high upside....
