And....I would be remiss if I did not give credit to our superb moderators, because due to them--you almost never see an offending post. If you do...it is not up for long! Hug a moderator, as they protect this forum we love.

The title of your post makes all the hours I put in--worth it. In the end, I just want a safe place to go to post my thoughts without someone jumping down my throat. Disagreement is great, and I love how we all just post our opinions--and that is it. We have discussed the NIL/Portal/Commissioner-Conference Mistakes here to the point of exhaustion in the recent past, and my attitude is, "nothing is going to change things at Oregon for at least three years, so I'm going to enjoy it while I can." That, and if this is the last three years of college football as we know it? Let's savor these last three years, and decry the changes when they actually occur. And finally, over the years I have got to know, (at least a little bit) a ton of the people that post here. (Like you) These are good people, and great Duck fans. Truly a wonderful community, and while OBD is not like other forums... We don't want to be!

Ifo saving another Touchdown from Marquise Lee... FishDuck.com has been very lucky to have such great photographers...

Ifo stopping a Touchdown against Fresno State QB David Carr and WR Davante Adams who are now with the Raiders together. How cool a photo is that?

Again...more proof that this staff is exceptional. Think this was an upgrade from Bobby Williams? Oh yeah...

Our Beloved Ducks! Moved up to No. 3 in RPI, and are No. 7 in Strength of Schedule. The winning in Baseball is not a fluke...

I am going to politely disagree on this one; Lanning has already shown that he and his staff will be 10 times the recruiters that Chip Kelly and his staff were, IMHO. Kelly not only had an offensive system, but was showing everyone else how to do it. Meanwhile I am waiting for the Spring Game and this fall to truly know what Dillingham is going to do.

Whew! It would NOT have been good losing to them, although get this; Portland was No. 66 in RPI, while our upcoming opponent, Washington State is No. 101! This win was good for our RPI!

Welcome, and Wildcats are welcome here as well as fans from other teams. I gave you an Arizona helmet avatar, and you are encouraged to offer your thoughts on the upcoming football season.

Oh baby....if you are a pitcher....can you imagine how much better your win/loss record will be with these hitters behind you? Whew! Horton could not see what was in front of his face...

And we have another game with them in Eugene later--and could meet them in the playoffs if things go well..

Enjoy this team my FishDuck Friends, as an Oregon Baseball team has never hit like this before....whew!

It was bound to happen, and let's enjoy this journey. We play at Portland Tuesday at 5:00 PM, and we still have eight of nine starters hitting over .300! Crazy! Oregon baseball jumps in polls after sweeping Washington WWW.OREGONLIVE.COM The Ducks (24-11, 10-5 Pac-12) are No. 10 in Collegiate Baseball and Baseball America, No. 12 in Perfect Game, No. 20 in D1baseball.com, No. 22 in the National Collegiate Baseball...

Welcome, and since I am over the Cougars kicking our butt in basketball...I can say now that sincerely. Fans of all schools are welcome, and please know--we do have some friendly Utah fans here as well! Do post your opinions, and perhaps this fall you can give us your thoughts on your football team prior to our big game. BTW...I gave you a BYU helmet avatar for fun and it looks great. And--as a note to everyone? The reason he might have come in walking on eggshells? It is because I revised our registration process and got it completed TODAY. I warn new members FIVE TIMES in the registration process that we are different here, have rules and enforce them immediately. Most who join are great people and we really have a wonderful community, but some will sign up and fling mud and feign ignorance of the rules when I email them. Our deletion/editing rate of over 10,000 posts was only 1/4th of 1% in the first quarter, but it seems a large number of those are newbies who don't believe we are serious about maintaining a GREEN REFUGE from the nastiness of the real world. Thus good people, like BYUTexan are quite welcome.

My friend, I would love to have the 'Natty between Oregon and USC....if Georgia and Alabama can do it...so can we! It will require extraordinary recruiting and coaching, and it is quite possible that both staffs are up to the task. If both schools stem the tide of recruits in the west from leaving the west...to staying home at one of the two schools, then the conference and the schools win. A pipe dream for now, sure. But it is possible... We gotta do something about the SEC!

Me too.

I NEVER thought I'd see this in my entire life...and it is true right now! More talent than USC? Whew! And that warms my heart--thanks!

The incredible nationwide hype is wonderful for the conference....and for every team that beats them! I wish we were not playing Utah or USC during any regular season so that a Pac-12 Championship game against either would be that much more epic. Georgia fans were telling me how Oregon vs. USC could end up being "must-see" TV with all the hype of the Riley Offense and the Lanning Defense. We ALL win from that including our colleagues in SLC.

With the reclassification of Kyler Kasper to 2022, it brings our total of 4&5-Stars to seven to move us up. However we are No. 2 in the conference to Arizona; the Wildcats have fewer of the 4&5-Stars, (Five) but have a total class of 23, while the Ducks have 17. So more volume...even of 3-Stars adds more points. In a normal year where we sign 22-25...we kill it. 2022 Team Rankings N.RIVALS.COM The definitive source for all Rivals news. Bottom line? Getting seven 4&5-Star players, (which is better than two of three Helfrich years) and add the Portal transfers, and done with a short recruiting season with a new coach? Prettay, prettay good!

This is an epic post, that summarizes what so many feel, but you take it to another level. The Pac-12 standard for the next decade? Count me in!

Mike Bellotti is the most charming likeable coach ever, and has far more class than I ever will. He would never put 70 points on a fellow coach, but a former Oregon assistant that he gave a break to, Chris Petersen, had no such qualms. And we could have put 70 on them so many times!
