I chose this developer because he has worked on this software for a decade and knows it so incredibly well. He is proud, and really wants to help us with a shared vision...and as it turns out--he is in Sheffield, England! With the wonders of the present, we can have online meetings at 11:00 AM Pacific time and it is 7:00 PM for him, after dinner with the family and we can get a ton done. For quick communication? Whatsapp operates for text and phone calls on the cell phone like normal phone service and text messages. Easy-peasy! He does have a major project left and it will be interesting to see if he can create it ... and that is part of the entertainment of the journey. Thanks for your kind thoughts, and that of everyone. Charles

Such an apt description. A shared passion...and so much fun. Love you all...

My friends....so many of us are such crazy Duck fans....I was watching the Mens Basketball and following the Live Stats of the Softball at the same time, and if we'd had the Baseball game as originally planned....I would have had a third device for that! Ducks Tough Out Another Win by GoDucks.com (Mens Basketball) Mistakes by the Utes and clutch threes by the Ducks pull this one out... Ducks Beat Fresno State 10-2 (Box Score) by GoDucks.com (Softball) Clutch hitting and pitching! Article to come later.... I was hanging on all the plays, and it made me ponder just how much of a fan I am? To go back to 1978....Ducks...I am Hopelessly Devoted to You And I could not help but ponder the words of Robert Palmer in 1985...."I might as face it--I'm Addicted to Ducks" (Close to that!) If this was before your time? Trust me...these are iconic. Watch them and you'll see why....

It quite a bit different with Rivals.com analysis, and why I respect their ratings over the years along with their consistency. Their ratings of our current 2022 commits is right here. Gracen Halton

He is a 3-Star with Rivals, but as we know--that can certainly change by the end of the 2021 High School football season this next fall.

Well my friends....we still have some very cool stuff to add, but dang...the learning curve is steep. I am currently at this moment putting together my notes for my online meeting with my forum developer tomorrow. So much to learn yet, and so many tweaks to make on behalf of everyone. I have not promoted the forum at all, (other than on FishDuck articles) as I am spending the time trying to learn how to operate everything. I am learning something new nearly every day--some of which is consequential. But this is the perfect time to do it, as this is the traditional slow time for Oregon Sports News and for forum activity until Spring Football starts. Would you ALL do me a Favor? --Post new topics as this is a slow time and there is nothing worse than a dead forum; I know that the other forums are slower on a proportionate basis, but we are just beginning, thus the membership is still...a cozy group. --Post responses with your thoughts to as many topics as possible; since there are not many--have some fun in conversation with this wonderful community! --I am open to any and all suggestions; the other day it was suggested to post a link to ChileDuck's Depth Chart, and it is on my list for work tomorrow with the Forum Developer. We are going to do it... --I am biased, but I am having fun with the background pictures, and I hope you like them as much as I do. The one up today of Franck Kepnang blocking a shot in the Colorado game the other night is pretty cool to me. And you can only see the background pictures when you are on desktop or pad. (Not on mobile phones) I really wish to thank all of you with your patience with me at times, and THANKS so much for your kind thoughts. When we add the FishDuck Feed each day....this is going to be a very fun place to find all that you need of everything DUCKS! My thanks to you again, Charles

The Ducks are getting closer to making it official with Yates, and a Twitter account is a first sign... Check his bio and the Cal site before it goes right here. Pretty impressive and a great hire?

Fresno State agreed to add a game, so the Ducks play the Bulldogs tonight at 6:00 PM and Sunday at 10:00 AM. Not on TV, but you can watch the Live Stream and the Stats right here on GoDucks.com to stay up on their game.

This is really interesting, and while our RBs are not in the Top 10, it is because Seven McGee is listed as an "Athlete." Kinda fascinating seeing the schools at each position...and the surprises about the Ducks to me is the high ranking of the Tight Ends, and the lower-than-expected ranking of the offensive line. Thoughts?

I like how they've moved up, but they need to go up more in the seeding if they want to make the Sweet Sixteen. See what is predicted at this point, but my question to you--how much higher a seed can they logically move up to? What is plausible as a goal? Oregon Moves up in Latest NCAA Tournament Projection by ESPN from 247 Sports

Well, she played 21 minutes for five points and zero rebounds. (Yup, you read that right) The Womens had their lunch handed to them in a 27 point defeat to the Bruins 83-56. I think I will pass on any game recap, and instead enjoy the incredible background photo of Franck Kepnang blocking a shot, courtesy of photographer Gary Breedlove.

This is simply AMAZING, and really appreciate you giving us more information--giving us perspective on just how special that race was. Not something that happens hardly ever... Thanks ChileDuck!

This whole scenario shouts 2022 to me...

Great article, great insights and gives us much to ponder and watch for in the coming seasons Darren. It is no surprise, but the NFL has shut down the video you inserted...

Well....it is possible that Mirabal may have had a little help on the offensive line recruiting!

It is pretty hard to view that video and not be inspired by his toughness, his love of the Oregon fans and his love of competition. Thanks Drake!

Look...I did not write that! A sportswriter for Athlon Sports did, and then he gives three major reasons why he feels that way--and why he thinks Oregon has a shot at returning the College Football Playoffs. Do you agree with his reasoning? Oregon Football: 3 Reasons for Optimism About the Ducks in 2021 by Athlon Sports

This means that JT Tuimoloau cannot visit Ohio State, Alabama or the Ducks until at least May 31st, and the recruiting Dead Period could go longer. How do you think he handles his recruiting now? Does Oregon have a better or worse chance with him? NCAA Extends Recruiting Dead Period Through at Least May 31 by OregonLive

Last night's Men Basketball victory over Colorado was especially sweet with the circumstances surrounding it. The Ducks lost again in Bolder earlier this year, had Eric Williams out with injury again, and the Ducks lost Eugene Omoruyi to fouls late in this game--yet still found a way to win. Will Richardson is so much better at driving and creating than the others and he makes such a difference for Our Beloved Ducks! And the defense holding the 'Buffs to under 60 points? Whew! Is this the beginning of a special run for the Men? Defense Helps Ducks Grind Out W by GoDucks.com Click below and see if you don't agree!

Yeah....I got a thing for alliteration, but we are in a very special stretch of basketball viewing. Last night the Men won a tough 60-56 victory over Colorado to start this five game feast of Oregon Basketball, and the following four days are as follows: Friday, (Tonight!) February 19th, Women play at No. 8 UCLA at 5:00 PM on the Pac-12 Network Saturday, February 20th, the Men play Utah at home at 6:00 PM on the Pac-12 Network Sunday, February 21st, the Women play at USC at Noon on the Pac-12 Network Monday, February 22nd, the Men play at No. 17 USC at 6:00 PM on Fox Sports 1 Both Oregon teams are in a position of improving and can move their NCAA seed up dramatically over the next couple of weeks. Let's see a lot of winning!

What a cool win! No Eugene Omoruyi at the end of the game, a big block by Chris Duarte, and clutch free throws and a spin drive scoring in the paint by Will Richardson. Whew! Way to gut it out DUCKS!

And Tim DeRuyter, who has been a head coach.... Coordinators (DeRuyter and Moorhead) who have been head coaches, and position coaches in Yates and McClendon who have been Coordinators. Whew!

Stick to what we are about.... Gosh I love that rich color of green....and I'll be darned if I can find it on the HTML charts.

Not yet for me, as I want to see all the information gathered from a variety of sources. But he has quite a background, and is seemingly over-qualified to be a safeties coach, IMHO. Please see this thread, and in particular, the post by RatherBe. Nice interception by Verone McKinley!

Southern Duck....I see how they are giving you some grief on another site, and it is great to see you here.
