And when did they get busted by the conference and NCAA for widespread cheating? 1992...which means they achieved their "half" illegally. But that does not matter to them!

Amen Duck-Brother, because given a choice? Both Huskies and Ducks would take the conference championship over the division any day!

There is an article in that topic David....because I regard the Gregory hire at Washington the same as if Oregon hired Heyward for the DC job here. Nope....MC was able to upgrade!

Agreed, as Oregon is now on the recruiting map of respect, but if we pull in JTT...it will raise eyebrows. It will signal that the Ducks are now a major contender for ALL the great players.

With you all the way...and the Beavs have quite a few players in the league considering the number of wins they've had.

Not a gamer, but happy for others!

My apologies as I cannot link the article, because it requires a subscription. But I wanted you to know what others are discussing from the article, and this was the big news. I would love someone to have subscription there and give us a summary when he writes, as some of his stuff is pretty good, but you have to put up with the "click-bait" like this article. There is a pattern as I think he is trying to tweak Oregon fans and USC fans by predicting the Huskies to take the North Division, and the Sun Devils to take the South Division.

These two could change our ranking, or least defend it...but the other implications of the one prediction would be so massive--wow. I am very surprised Rivals is making this predictions and we hope it comes out true! NSD 2021: Predictions for Uncommitted Rivals250 Prospects by Rivals.com

John brings up some really good points about this candidate, but also the timing needed for the job and what awaits the new commissioner. It seems in his writing that John is not just trying to stir the nest, but he really wants a good hire to happen for the sake of the conference.

It is such a treat to have your expertise shared here ChicoDuck; thanks for jumping in!

Some of you have signed up to post, but you have to confirm with an email that comes to you. The forum software has a glitch where some people were not getting the email, thus how could you confirm? I sent you an email for confirmation. If you responded to the email I sent--then I manually approved you in the system. Some of you did not respond to my email! Thus after waiting for a day and a half....I then delete the account because I have to assume it is not a legit email. I must have a working email, and an email account that is checked, as I have had a number of spammers and 'bots who try to sign up. If you want to try again--email me charles@fishduck.com and we'll figure it out. Bottom line is--I must have a working email or I assume the worst and will not approve you.

Wouldn't you love to know what Washington and USC were saying?

Oh 30Duck.....you found some GOLD there! My favorite is..."In the generating fan excitement department, this is about as big of a flop imaginable." Way to go Huskies!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE | MONDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 2021 TRACK AND FIELD/CROSS COUNTRY EUGENE, Ore. – On the strength of four NCAA-leading performances at the Razorback Invitational, the Men of Oregon are the No. 1 team in the country with Monday’s release of the USTFCCCA Rating Index. With five top-10 national marks of their own, the Women of Oregon check in at No. 13 after their season-opening weekend in Arkansas. Only marks from this current indoor season are being used in calculating team rankings. In addition to the four NCAA-leading marks, the Ducks reset their own collegiate record in the distance-medley relay (9:19.42) and established school records in the 60 meters by Micah Williams (6.56) and triple jump by Emmanuel Ihemeje (16.41m/53-10.25). The record-breaking DMR featured Cole Hocker, Luis Peralta, Charlie Hunter and Cooper Teare. Newcomer Kemba Nelson led a 1-3-6 finish for the Women of Oregon in the 60 meters, stopping the clock in a time of 7.19 which is the second-fastest time in the NCAA this season. The Ducks picked up another top-five national mark from Mathilde Rey in the pentathlon. Her personal best of 4,182 points currently ranks fourth in the country. Top-10 Marks in the NCAA (thru Jan. 30) Men of Oregon 1 – Micah Williams, 60 meters – 6.56 1 – Charlie Hunter, mile – 3:54.54 1 – Cooper Teare, 3000 meters – 7:46.10 1 – Distance medley relay – 9:19.42 2 – Reed Brown, mile – 3:56.61 2 – Cole Hocker, 3000 meters – 7:46.44 2 – Emmanuel Ihemeje, triple jump – 16.41m/53-10.25 3 – Max Vollmer, heptathlon – 5,734 points T9 – Rieker Daniel, 60 meters – 6.65 Women of Oregon 2 – Kemba Nelson, 60 meters – 7.19 4 – Mathilde Rey, pentathlon – 4,182 points 7 – Emily Sloan, 60m hurdles – 8.16 8 – Dominique Ruotolo, triple jump – 13.15m/43-1.75 T10 – Brianna Duncan, 60 meters – 7.30 The Razorback Invitational was the Ducks’ first of three scheduled meets in Fayetteville, Ark., along with the Tyson Invitational (Feb. 12-13) and NCAA Indoor Championships (March 11-13).

Boy is this an important victory for a team needing to know that they can play with the "big-teams!" Will the confidence from this victory create others? Fun to watch for...

I love my Ducks, but Graham is not an NFL corner, IMHO. Lenoir is borderline... Ifo getting hurt was too bad, as he shouted NFL to me...

And that is why we gotta play the games...

I am guessing that Oregon will have better talent than Cal had, and as for Texas A&M....I would think so also at the time he was there. This is what makes it so intriguing, as now he can Zone-Blitz with some darn good talent. Good question...just my gut feel is all.

Actually, Gregory is pretty knowledgeable, but your observation about the lack of sparkling alternatives out there interested in the position is telling. We had similar options internally to have done the same thing at Oregon, but got a better result. Perhaps Lake might hover over the defense the way you-know-who does on offense at Oregon? Who knows? It will be fun to watch...

Transfers do not count in the rankings, just so you know. But you are right--it could still happen...

That really is a great choice, as he could see windows to throw to that nobody else could...
