  1. With all the stuff flying about...this article helps to clear up some of the confusion, and I'm glad to see the Ducks are after him! Report: Georgia's Dan Lanning a Candidate for Oregon HC Job Amid Conflicting Rumors by Paul Kasabian of Bleacher Report
  2. I don't trust any beer I can see through....
  3. And where do you live now? 😉
  4. Thanks. If we get a splash hire like Dan Lanning--then go with him or another that the fans will rally around and has high probability of doing well. But if we are left with the "B" list of Oregon Retreads...I believe an Interim Coach would be best for Oregon.
  5. One of my favorite beers, Red Chair Northwest Pale Ale, from the Deschutes Brewery (Official Beer of the Pac-12) is now available! It is seasonal, from now until April to coincide with Ski Season. I've been waiting SO LONG for it and I just got my first six-pack tonight coming home from the office. Now I love Deschutes Mirror Pond Pale Ale, and my go-to is Deschutes Inversion IPA, but when Deschutes Red Chair Northwest Pale Ale is available....that's the one! There are SO MANY great craft beers in Oregon...which is YOUR favorite?
  6. My friends...the rumor is that this guy might be an OC candidate for Lanning since they worked together on other staffs. Boat-raced 48 points on St. Nick? Kenny Dillingham Wikipedia Google Information about him....
  7. Fantastic find McDuck! Thanks for posting this...and I do want to encourage everyone to bring the news to the thousands in the growing community.
  8. OK....as a Cat GIF aficionado...I laughed out loud, as it is perfect. Thanks 81DuckAlum!
  9. No sweat. Can't do any better than that and besides....let's see how this plays out. And HawaiiDuck? Thanks for thinking of the community and posting. Do refresh your computer and note the avatar I created for you... 🤙 And WELCOME!
  10. I love how you think, and tomorrow morning yours-truly will have an article right up that alley...
  11. There appear to be rumors of a couple of names for Head Coach that nobody knows about, (not a surprise to me and good!) and it might not be until Sunday before any announcement is made. I pass this along simply to relieve tension, and let you know this is going to go on longer. Thus we might as well take a breath and get on with life because I would be stunned if there was an announcement today, and a little surprised if one was made tomorrow. And THANKS to the good people who are posting articles, and even rumors in good faith. We are all in this together my FishDuck Friends... We gotta have a little fun as we go....
  12. It is difficult, but I try to measure sincerity and intent. In the case of the fellow reporting that Chip is going to be hired...he provided the link to the Bruin website proclaiming it. So he posted in good faith and thus escaped the Wrath of Charles. Charles just found out that a writer missed his deadline... What I love about this site is that there is an extraordinary effort to be respectful, and that people here make an effort to honestly honor each others' opinions. I've been everywhere man, and there is nothing quite like this anywhere. I've seen wrong information posted with good intentions or an attempt at humor, but I haven't seen much in the way of purposeful attempts to steer people in the wrong direction. latracey....you have no idea how much that means to me. So MUCH work behind the scenes to create and preserve this community, and when I read your words--it gives me comfort that my mission is on the right path. THANK YOU.

  14. Actually they were presenting it as "fun," like an April Fools joke. Considering how tightly wound as we all are right now? Not funny. And thanks to a couple of moderators for bringing it to my attention.
  15. Two posts falsely reporting a coaching hire were in poor form to the good people of this forum. It was not "polite and respectful" to this community, but there will not be strikes given to the offenders since....I did not officially have a rule covering it. (Never happened before) A new violation, so on Friday I gotta add it to the others! Rule No. 34 will join the other 33. Geez. I had to deal with three rule violators today in addition to this at 11:00 PM at night. We have such an incredible community, yet I still have to babysit some adults? I do not have time for this nonsense, so the hook just got shorter with people. From the Rules of this Forum: How can I possibly follow all these rules? It is simple; all our rules can be summarized to this: 1) be polite and respectful, 2) keep it clean, and 3) no reference of any kind to politics and you won’t have to worry about the rules at all as over 99.50% of those posting have learned, and do just fine.
  16. (From Oregon Athletics Press Release) EUGENE, Ore. – Oregon forward Taylor Hosendove was granted a waiver by the NCAA and will be eligible to play immediately for the Ducks.

Hosendove averaged 12.5 points and 8.8 rebounds per game in 2020-21 after putting up 11.4 points and 8.9 rebounds per contest in 2019-20.

  18. Well DuckHeart....I've enjoyed your posts, and this is one that perhaps one of the boatload of attorneys that read/post here can offer their thoughts on as well. Quite interesting..
