  1. This is a hilarious video! The same type of "experts" who knew Justin Herbert was going to be a bust give their "expert" take on Josh Allen, who is leading Buffalo in the AFC Championship Game on Sunday. There is another lesson in all of this....none of us are right all the time. Even the most informed and sagacious in any business gets their lunch handed to them on occasion, and this is why when someone posts "the" opinion of which they claim is the final say....I roll my eyes. (I personally have been humbled so many times...)
  2. Is NCAA President Mark Emmert looking into his Alma Mater?
  3. Very cool for the former Duck, and the article about the award and how this is the second Duck to receive it is right here. DeForest almost getting the Bruin handoff....
  4. Whew! Now that is a great point, and one that I kinda forgot about. The Leader... The Harrington type is what Oregon needs right now. One inside guy told me that the reason that Helfrich lost the team in 2015, is because Mariota was now gone. The team so respected Marcus that they performed well in 2014 to make to the Natty, and the leader of the team was not the coach, but Mariota. THAT is leadership...
  5. I wish 30Duck's suggestion could happen, since it is proven to work well for Division 2 and Division 3, not to mention basketball.
  6. Boy...we cannot complain about lack of respect! That is a very generous ranking considering our last performance, and goes to show that if Oregon plays well--we will be considered for the top ten much easier than in the distant past. Lee Corso always loves Oregon...
  7. That play gets to me in so many ways; note how Tyner starts in the Shotgun and then ends up going straight ahead....like a Pistol Plunge? Only the spacing is closer to the LOS, and LOOK at the hole! We did that variation of the Inside Zone Read over six years ago and both Clemson and Alabama do it currently. It is the "Bang" option out of that altered Inside Zone Read and I did an analysis of it right here; see the view from above and in front....whew! It worked so well that Cristobal doesn't need it... Thomas Tyner
  8. We have discussed the enigma of running back recruiting here, as well as in FishDuck articles such as this one, but it is a topic that is always relevant. As for DTs....we are going after one of the best in JTT, so I cannot fault MC in his recruiting efforts.
  9. This is an interesting game in that WSU is so physical, and between them, USC and Arizona--the Ducks better get ready for it!
  10. Duckpop22....your tongue-in-cheek made me laugh again! And it was a great post by OD, as both he and Chico taught all a ton...
  11. Great perspective to give us...thanks.
  12. Agreed, and he is a good example of that, IMHO.
  13. I completely agree; this is where the young-guns grow and learn what it takes to be one of the nation's top teams.
  14. A good article summary....How Oregon's 2021 QB Room Stacks up
  15. Whoa, former 'Vols Head Coach Jeremy Pruitt is untouchable at this point and former Oregon linebacker Spencer Paysinger is loving it....
  16. OK...that would make sense. I could hardly believe that Avalos is only being paid 1.4 million per year at Boise State...
  17. What a shame...his drop-off in his senior year. It hurt his draft position, (if one at all) and hurt the team.
  18. He is considered the real force on defense for Cal, and not Wilcox according to some on another site. He would be a good hire, but I have my doubts about this lateral move...?
  19. It is pretty incredible what that coach in Pullman has done...and this is only her third season in the Palouse.
  20. If he wins the job early on--the entire QB room will transfer out....
  21. For those of you who do not know...Duckpop22 was our humor writer for like six years and always knew how to make me laugh. It is true...he and I have never met in person, but have spent hours on the phone and in email howling at the antics of the other. I do not get paid from the sites, but I have new Duck-Brothers like Duckpop22 across the United States--and that is a treasure.
  22. Omigosh that is funny...and amazing!
