Whew! A brutal article, but so true and while I do not like the thought of USC and Washington being better--you are right, Ryan. Well done and THANKS.

Yep....I am looking to add the Oregon Football Repository up in the menu on the black header, as I agree--this is a good idea. For now all the components (such as the depth chart) of the Repository are right here.... Ignoring it would be.....madness!

Jack....effectively you provided water for the very thirsty, and I am very grateful. Can't wait for when they are on TV, and delighted to read of the pleasant surprises and what the team needs to work on. My thanks again!

Wow. I had no idea, and am quite sorry to have not given you attribution credit. You see, I've been hosed a number of times on some pretty big discoveries and contributions to Oregon football and not credited, even when everyone at the time knew where the information came from. That is really well done, and I salute your tech skills. Thank you for creating it, and now that we know it was you...when JTT commits--you can finish it. My congrats again--and thanks from the community.

Make that Bend Oregon...for the local tasty IPA Craft Beers! So many of them...although Eugene has some I like.

That is a great suggestion to add, and for now it is here.

Atomic! You go a LONG WAY back with me and videos. Welcome!

You are very kind, and while I do not have the background and skills needed....I would certainly be able to cut a ton of cost, that is for sure. Your post made my day--thanks! "...and everyone that's involved!" Amen, as I love this community!

OMIGOSH...the "reply" button has disappeared! It is actually still there, but you have to find it and press it to the right of the "Delete" button! More to come...I do like that medium green, but still gotta try them all (I have about 40 shades to try) and nailing the precise HTML color code can be a trick. Gosh I love this shade of green, but it is too dark with a black border as we have....

You may notice test posts appearing and disappearing in threads, the background picture being changed and/or brought back and the top pinned topic turning different shades of green. We are experimenting with a ton of stuff and this is the process you go through with a new forum. (Learn how the darn thing works and look at the options.) When we bring the FishDuck Feed into play at a later date...I want the top Pinned Topic to be a shade of green to make it stand-out and easy to find for the new people visiting the forum. Each day will have it's own Post of Oregon article links pinned at the top, and when the day passes--it is unpinned, turns to white or yellow and floats on down into the recent topics while the new day has a Pinned Topic at the top (in green) of that day's article links. So much to do... Epic cut from 30 years ago....good stuff is good stuff no matter the age.

The grey pants in the past for accenting the top is quite acceptable to me...

It also goes to show how good college basketball players are as athletes; we barely beat UW in Seattle, and while they have lost so many--those are still amazing athletes. Now, back to the ridicule!

OREGON ATHLETIC COMMUNICATIONS FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE | SOFTBALL PHOENIX – Oregon finished off a perfect opening weekend with its fourth run-rule victory in a 9-1 win over Montana in the finale of the GCU Kickoff Classic Sunday. The No. 10 Ducks moved to 5-0 for the third straight year under head coach Melyssa Lombardi and the sixth time in the last seven seasons dating back to 2015. --Oregon has had a player drive in at least four runs in four of the five games, with a different player doing so each time. --Lexi Wagner (sophomore) drove in a career-high four runs. --Maddie Hopper (senior) went 1-for-2 with two RBIs and a run scored. --Alyssa Brito (freshman) drove in a run for the second straight game, going 1-for-2 with a run scored and a walk. --Oregon pitching finished the weekend allowing just four runs (two earned) over 28 innings, posting a 0.50 ERA. --The five pitchers combined to strike out 32 while issuing just four walks. (One senior, two juniors and two freshmen) --This is the fifth year in a row and the sixth time in the last seven seasons that Oregon has started 5-0. On Deck: The Ducks are currently scheduled to play a single game at Fresno State on Saturday, Feb. 20.

The Sunday morning paper in Eugene had an article about the process of the territory becoming the state of Oregon, since it was recognized on February 14, 1859. An interesting tidbit was how the state politicians decided to move the location of the state/territorial capital from Salem to Corvallis in 1855, but the federal government refused to recognize the change. So both houses convened in Corvallis and promptly voted to move the capital back to Salem. Can't say I blame them! Back to Salem!

It really drives home the concept of Oregon recruiting nationally, and doing so quite well. Mario has offset the issue of being geographically remote from the major population and recruit centers like no other coach...

And it never gets old baby!

Great comparison, PittDuck, as it is true. And Jordan....another great article--thanks!

Jack....I was really hoping you would show up and offer the facts. You really know your stuff, and we would welcome you to post much more often! We have a number of softball fans in this community... When you consider that four of the five pitchers were recruited by Coach Lombardi--the concerns about whether she could recruit were just answered! BTW...any comments about what you saw/read of this opening weekend for the team?

Please don't do grey uniforms anymore in any sport!

I am going to disagree; Jordan Dail started and won her first game as the No. 3 pitcher, and allowed no runs. Raegan Breedlove came in twice as the closer and finished out all the batters and did not allow a run. As of this moment, Breedlove is the starting pitcher and has not allowed a run in the final game of the weekend. (Makenna Kliethermes took over after three innings and had one unearned run in a 9-1 Oregon victory this morning) An all-freshman pitching victory! That's the facts...

Baseball and Softball did not release a schedule until less than a month before the season started--pretty hard for planning with that nonsense.... So yeah, let's add it to the list: --Incompetent bowl management --Incompetent game scheduling (nine versus eight at other conferences, thus a big disadvantage) --Bloated expenses --Incompetent Officials --Incompetent television contracts --A Network that has the wrong times for programming on a regular basis --Delays in Scheduling Anything I forgot?

OREGON ATHLETIC COMMUNICATIONS FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE | TRACK AND FIELD/CROSS COUNTRY FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Charlie Hunter broke an 11-year-old school record on his way to an NCAA-leading effort at 800 meters Saturday at the Tyson Invitational. Less than 24 hours after his 3:53 outing in the mile, Hunter stopped the clock in 1:45.59 to win the 800 meters. The time makes Hunter the fifth-fastest performer in collegiate history and marks his second Australian national record in as many days. He lowered his own mile record to 3:53.49 with his run Friday evening. Hunter broke the long-standing UO record of 1:46.36 set by Andrew Wheating in 2010. Along with Hunter’s time, Saturday’s race produced the No. 5 and 7 performers in school history with Luis Peralta and Cole Hocker, respectively. Peralta ran 1:47.61 to lower his own PR and Dominican Republic national record in the event, while Hocker tallied a time of 1:48.44 in his first collegiate 800-meter race. Cooper Teare and Reed Brown also dipped below 1:50 with their times of 1:49.29 and 1:49.47, respectively, while Angus Folmli clocked in at 1:51.48 which established a new personal best. Teare (3:50.39) and Hocker (3:50.55) were also part of Friday night’s historic mile at the Tyson Invitational.

Short answer: no. Cristobal has a boatload of people on the staff that can fulfill that function, but....

Nope, and the other exclusion of Joe Moorhead, the quarterback coach, was interesting. Yet, it is a natural reaction if he did not feel...

Oregon beat Weber State today by run-rule after five innings, (8-0) and Cruse had four-runs-batted-in while Jordan Dail got the win allowing only three hits by the Wildcats. (Is that two wins over Wildcats in one day?) Another game versus Grand Canyon University at 5:00 PM Pacific, and this one is streamed right here.
