Actually, I think it won a club national championship in the past.

Don’t know a thing about Hockey, but respect those who grew up around it, and love it. I have to admit that I am often shocked to go on the Big Ten network and see really well covered telecasts of wrestling matches, and hockey games unlike you would ever see on the West Coast. Good-gosh, they are into high caliber volleyball and Lacrosse! Cool conference, and Oregon will bring glory to their weaknesses. (Baseball season is about to begin and Our Beloved Ducks are favored to win the conference) Being realistic, that with all the changes in college sports, and pending lawsuits, I don’t anticipate us ever adding hockey, and in fact, we will probably end up deleting sports before it is over, and ended up in court over that too!

Look at the bright side... We got No. 12 in the nation Baseball starting Friday!

Yep, and that is why Waz was looking for non-conference games that would boost our RPI. Even teams in lower conferences--we are playing the best ones in that conference, and who will be in the NCAAs in the spring. Playing No. 7 Oregon State in a four game series helps both teams with the RPI. As I look at our schedule--I believe it is not quite as tough as Pac-12 schedule, (No Arizona or Stanford!) but we have enough juice to do well, and it is tough enough to harden the team. This is a very experienced team in the field, one of the best ever for Oregon and I expect the hitting to be pretty good. The only question is pitching, but he brought a boat-load of pitchers in, and he will find out who can do the job. Ian Umlandt from Sherwood is back...

I also really loved the away uniform for this game...the classic yellow pants and helmet. I'd have liked to have seen this combo more often but... I really like how the formation is balanced so that the defense does not which side we are favoring, thus we can overload one side or the other with blockers. Worked well!

I loved this formation and all the touchdowns scored from it. Thanks David!

The schedule is right here, and you need to get the B1G+ streaming. For all those games? Well worth the $8.00 a month! Another Jacob Walsh homer...from the All-Time HR Leader at Oregon!

We could have a very, very good season! Oregon baseball projected to win Big Ten by Baseball America ahead of 2025 season No-Can-Do, Beavis!

From 247 Sports... Oregon lands transfer commitment from DB Jadon Canady

He started 11 games for them this past season... Ole Miss safety transfer Jadon Canady commits to Oregon WWW.ON3.COM .

Good gosh, we lost Tysheem Johnson to graduation and he transferred originally from Mississippi, and he is replaced by another Ole Miss safety!

EUGENE, Ore. – After helping Oregon make history over the weekend in Las Vegas, catcher Emma Cox made some history of her own on Monday by being named the Big Ten’s Freshman of the Week. Cox becomes the first Duck softball player ever to earn a weekly honor from the Big Ten Conference. The Thornton, Colo., native hit .500 and helped Oregon score a record number of runs at the UNLV Desert Classic. The Ducks went 5-0 in Las Vegas and scored 73 runs – the most the program has ever scored over any five-game span. Oregon defeated Buffalo and Southern Utah twice and host UNLV once. Cox was 9-for-18 at the plate with two doubles, two home runs and six RBI for a slugging percentage of .944. She had two home runs as part of a 4-for-4 performance Friday against Southern Utah. Cox is the first true freshman to regularly start behind the dish for the Ducks since Janelle Lindvall in 2013. Lindvall went on to become Oregon’s career leader in home runs (48) and RBI (195). Gotta love that helmet!

USC hired a new coach who has turned it around in just a year, as last year we were lucky to win the series with them. They won 31 games and just missed being the NCAA Playoff. I expect they will be better this year, and as for UCLA...it depends upon their injury situation again. Oregon has some VERY interesting new players brought in, and I will do a review of the team later this week. This could be a VERY good year for our Diamond Ducks! Tommy Trojan...YOU'RE OUT! Is that a great photo or what?

What is coming into the B1G from the Pac-12 is Oregon, Washington, (really tough) USC and UCLA? The former Pac-12 teams will dominate Softball in the B1G. I expect nearly the same with the Baseball teams, as Oregon is the highest ranked preseason from the B1G at No. 12 and the only other is Nebraska at No. 24. I expect USC will be ranked later...

I disagree, but please...let's keep saying the same thing over-and-over to each other. I can keep doing the Star Trek Temporal Causality Time-Loop, and the USS Bozeman as many times as you wish!

And why? Receivers were not getting open, and again....the loss of Stewart was paramount. Coverage was compressed without him, and thus Dillon had to hold the ball much longer than not just the prior Ohio State game, but the entire season. We may not have won the game--even with Stewart, as the Buckeyes were on fire and wanted to beat us badly. But I think we could have made it a ton closer. Time for the Temporal Causality Time-Loop again, and the USS Bozeman!

I am going to save this thread, as I know that this is one of the topics that will get brought up all the time...."Why Oregon Lost in the Rose Bowl." Other reasons than discussed above: --Ohio State had a warm-up game the week before while Oregon sat out over three weeks. --Oregon was screwed in the seeding process, and should not have been playing Ohio State until the semis or finals. --Chip Kelly had a fantastic pass-route tree designed against our defense that worked wonderfully for them. --The Buckeyes were on fire, as losing before to Oregon motivated them to play their best this second time. The offense bailed out the defense in the B1G Championship against Penn State, but this time the defense did not help out the offense in the Rose Bowl. Scoring 21 points is enough to win with, (See Wisconsin game) if the defense is playing well. But not on that day at the Rose Bowl. I object to the complaints about Stein, (to get rid of him?) but certainly acknowledge that the offense should have been better. I do believe the loss of Evan Stewart really altered what they could do, as shown in the first game between the teams. I do not believe that a DC should be fired over the first half either, as bad as it was. But we will need to be better in the future... Nonetheless, we beat three teams in the Playoff, and beat four who finished in the Top-16 in the nation and finished with the least amount of losses of any CFB team. A disappointing end, but a fantastic season that I will replay the tapes on for the next seven months. Lanning has gone from three losses (10-3) to two losses (12-2) and then to one loss (13-1)....and that is a pretty good trendline, my Duck-Brothers and Sisters. And on to Oregon's No. 12 Baseball team that begins on Friday!

I think Traeshon Holden was pretty good for us...

How about that? They even added a Bird-Bomb!

One bad HALF is enough for some!

Well, that was a dream first-half for Eagles fans. Can't hardly believe it, and neither can Mahomes.

First drive a call on routine hand-fighting? Feels like the fix is in!

Let's discuss before, during and after the game in this thread. Who is going to win and why?

Good gosh, they were at a tournament to start the season this weekend and below are the scores.. 21-1 over Buffalo 18-6 over Southern Utah 16-2 over Southern Utah 10-6 over UNLV 8-1 over Buffalo A great start for the No. 23 Ducks, and expect they will do well in the B1G!

This really hurts, as he is an elite recruiter. Thank goodness he has stacked the WR room for us before leaving!
