I don't know if you were around here since the season began, but we have been talking about the defense as it is the biggest drop-off in the units from last year to this one. So what we have been discussing about is how the Oregon offense needs to out-score the opponent, since the defense is weak this year. So yes--most of us identified the defense, and the problems although I believe there was more issues in the front seven than the back four contrary to what many think. Both sides of the ball are a mess right now, so I don't think you will get any disagreement about the defense. Glad to have you on-board, and would love your thoughts often. Thanks.

Talk about having our number...

Some good stuff and fun reading about Justin Herbert; we have to eat it up now before the whole NFL season is over!

Judy, you will fit in just fine here, and thanks for posting! I hope you will jump in often with your thoughts...

Not even a week later and he is working out at home in Georgia! He is an up and coming STAR for the Ducks!

If Avalos leaves--we just lost a great replacement candidate...

Boy there are a bunch of dandies in this article, and it certainly got me thinking about Oregon. --How good would we have been with Sewell, Holland, Graham and Breeze? So many of those to discuss in the off-season! Penei Sewell creates a hole for Verdell in the Pac-12 Championship in 2019...

Now that was a fun short video and I do appreciate you bringing it to us! Please post more and add videos, pictures, GIFs--anything. This is precisely the kind of entertainment I enjoy and would love to see on this forum in addition to recent Oregon sports news and lots of discussion. My thanks!

I was going to say that this is our best chance in years because Colorado isn't as good...until I looked at their 7-3 record. They beat Kansas State by 18, USC by 10 and Washington by 23 of whom the Ducks barely squeaked past. The Ducks are going to have their hands full, no doubt. I am going to be curious about how they operate in the low post against much bigger players...

The Oregon Women’s basketball team is coming off their first loss of the season, and their first loss in 27 games, to PAC-12 opponent UCLA. In what was a hard fought game, the Ducks had multiple opportunities at the end to either tie or take the lead, but came up just short 74-72. At times in that game the youth ...

John Brice at FootballScoop.com reports that Montana State head football coach and former Boise State assistant coach Jeff Choate has interviewed for the job on Monday. Brice also reports that Choate has emerged as "potentially the top target for the same position at Boise State."

The World needs more Amanda and Payton!

Recruiting is nearly done; the 21 previously verballed are now signed LOIs from the December signing date. They are not/cannot bolt. Oregon only has four spots left for a couple of coveted players, and leaving room for transfers, as the portal is going to be quite active in this offseason.

Amen my Duck-Brother, as I feel that pride as well. Count me in as one who not only did not see it, but was very concerned about him being a bust. This has to be tough on some of those in LA who are both USC and Charger fans? It took a DUCK to bring them back?

I was stunned at how good a passer that Sedona was in a recent game. She nailed crisp passes outside to the three-point shooters, but she also had some nice passes on the back-door to cutters. She will make a difference upon her return!

OREGON ATHLETIC COMMUNICATIONS FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE |WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 6, 2020 The Ducks will now play at Colorado Thursday afternoon and at Utah on Saturday instead of Sunday. EUGENE, Ore. – The schedule for the University of Oregon men’s basketball games this weekend has been altered, the Pacific-12 Conference announced Wednesday. The 17th-ranked Ducks will now face Colorado in Boulder Thursday at 2 p.m. PT on FS1. That game was originally scheduled for an 8 p.m. PT tip. Oregon’s game at Utah has been moved to Saturday from Sunday. The Ducks and Utes will tip at 6:30 p.m. PT . That game will be televised by Pac-12 Network.

It is so fun to watch players in all sports realize in a game..."I can do this!" For Angela Dugalic, the game against the Bruins was precisely that. I recall about the third game of the season is when Pao Pao realized that, "I can get behind a screen and shot a good three!" So fun to see...

There are eleven other conference members that may disagree with this, but we hold the conference championship trophy! (TWICE!) Some have suggested that Jon Wilner should now eat his hat....

My FishDuck Friends ... I am constantly working with the Web Developer as we make adjustments to the site. First of all--how about the new background picture? I can change them although it won't be more than once a week, and normally it will be a football picture like the one of Travis Dye catching a pass in the Washington State game that was our first background. It is just that right now--we could use a little basketball and the basketball season for these pics is only two months more. Next item is the font size; the original smaller font size seemed almost weirdly small in reference to the large size of the post, so I increased the size of the font to fit the post better and it is easier on old eyes for us who are Greybeard-age. Thoughts? My friends, it is so easy to add videos, GIFs and pictures. Go to the Directions in the Pinned Topic at the top of the Forum Front Page and learn how!

It was odd the way the DBs played....great observation-thanks.
